The Exact Overlaps Conjecture for Self-Similar Measures on the Real Line
Abstract
A generalization of the exact overlaps conjecture predicts a formula for the dimension of self-similar measures in terms of the random walk entropy and the Lyapunov exponent. We prove the exact overlaps conjecture and its generalized version in dimension one. The proof relies on a new entropy inequality quantifying the information lost under addition of independent random variables in terms of a quantity averaging variance across scales.
