Abstract: The structure of the set of local dimensions of a self-similar measure has been studied by numerous mathematicians, initially for measures that satisfy the open set condition and, more recently, for measures on $mathbbR$ that are of finite type. In this paper, our focus is on finite type measures defined on the torus, the quotient space $$. We give criteria which ensures that the set of local dimensions of the measure taken over points in special classes generates an interval. We construct a non-trivial example of a measure on the torus that admits an isolated point in its set of local dimensions. We prove that the set of local dimensions for a finite type measure that is the quotient of a self-similar measure satisfying the strict separation condition is an interval. We show that sufficiently many convolutions of Cantor-like measures on the torus never admit an isolated point in their set of local dimensions, in stark contrast to such measures on $mathbbR$. Further, we give a family of Cantor-like measures on the torus where the set of local dimensions is a strict subset of the set of local dimensions, excluding the isolated point, of the corresponding measures on $mathbbR$.

Review text

The authors introduce a concept of a finite type measure on the torus \(\mathbb{T} \cong \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\) that are quotients of equicontractive, self-similar measures on \(\mathbb{R}\), and develop a general method for computing the local dimensions of such measures. Using this method, a simple formula for the local dimensions at the periodic points is obtained. Moreover, it is proved that if a self-similar measure arises from an iterated function system that satisfies the strong separation condition, then the set of local dimensions of the quotient measure is not only an interval but coincides with the set of local dimensions of the original measure. A first non-trivial example of a quotient measure on \(\mathbb{T}\) whose set of local dimensions admits an isolated point is also provided.
