Abstract: We study conformal iterated function systems (IFS) mathcalS=phiiiinI with arbitrary overlaps, and measures mu on limit sets Lambda, which are projections of equilibrium measures hatmu with respect to a certain lift map Phi on SigmaI+imesLambda. No type of Open Set Condition is assumed. We introduce a notion of overlap function and overlap number for such a measure hatmu with respect to mathcalS; and, in particular a notion of (topological) overlap number o(mathcalS). These notions take in consideration the n-chains between points in the limit set. We prove that o(mathcalS,hatmu) is related to a conditional entropy of hatmu with respect to the lift Phi. Various types of projections to Lambda of invariant measures are studied. We obtain upper estimates for the Hausdorff dimension HD(mu) of mu on Lambda, by using pressure functions and o(mathcalS,hatmu). In particular, this applies to projections of Bernoulli measures on SigmaI+. Next, we apply the results to Bernoulli convolutions ulambda for lambdain(frac12,1), which correspond to self-similar measures determined by composing, with equal probabilities, the contractions of an IFS with overlaps mathcalSlambda. We prove that for all lambdain(frac12,1), there exists a relation between HD(ulambda) and the overlap number o(mathcalSlambda). The number o(mathcalSlambda) is approximated with integrals on Sigma2+ with respect to the uniform Bernoulli measure u(frac12,frac12). We also estimate o(mathcalSlambda) for certain values of lambda.
