Abstract

We describe a class of measurable subsets Ω in R d such that L 2 ( Ω ) has an orthogonal basis of frequencies e λ ( x ) = e i 2πλ · x ( x ∈ Ω ) indexed by λ ∈ Λ ⊂ R d . We show that such spectral pairs ( Ω , Λ ) have a self-similarity which may be used to generate associated fractal measures μ (typically with Cantor set support). The Hilbert space L 2 (μ) does not have a total set of orthogonal frequencies; but a harmonic analysis of μ may be built instead from a natural representation of the Cuntz C *-algebra which is constructed from a pair of lattices supporting the given spectral pair ( Ω , Λ ). We show conversely that such a pair may be reconstructed from a certain Cuntz-representation given to act on L 2 (μ).
