Abstract: We study the resonance eigenstates of a particular quantization of the open baker map. For any admissible value of Planck's constant, the corresponding quantum map is a subunitary matrix, and the nonzero component of its spectrum is contained inside an annulus in the complex plane, |zmin|leq|z|leq|zmax|. We consider semiclassical sequences of eigenstates, such that the moduli of their eigenvalues converge to a fixed radius r. We prove that, if the moduli converge to r=|zmax|, then the sequence of eigenstates converges to a fixed phase space measure homax. The same holds for sequences with eigenvalue moduli converging to |zmin|, with a different limit measure homin. Both these limiting measures are supported on fractal sets, which are trapped sets of the classical dynamics. For a general radius |zmin|<r<|zmax|, we identify families of eigenstates with precise self-similar properties.
