Definitions & Notation: Homogeneous measures Let ( X, d, µ ) be a complete, separable metric measure space such that 0 < µ ( B ( x, r )) < ∞ for all x ∈ X and r > 0. Let A ⊆ X . Definition We say that µ is q -homogeneous on A if there is some constant M > 0 such that � q µ ( B ( x, r )) � r µ ( B ( ξ, ρ )) ≤ M ρ for all 0 < ρ < r ≤ diam ( A ), all x ∈ A , and all ξ ∈ B ( x, r ). The measure theoretic Assouad dimension of A is dim As ( A ) := inf { q ≥ 0 | µ is q -homogeneous on A } . 4 / 17

Definitions & Notation: The distance zeta function Definition Suppose that dim As ( X ) = Q and that A is a bounded subset of X . For δ > 0, define A δ := { x ∈ X | d ( x, A ) ≤ δ } . The distance zeta function associated to A is given by � d ( x, A ) s − Q d µ ( x ) ζ A ( s ) = ζ A,A δ ( s ) := A δ Under relatively mild hypotheses on A , the integral above will diverge at—but be absolutely convergent to the right of—the upper Minkowski dimension of A . Definition Suppose that ζ A ( s ) can be meromorphically extended to a (strictly) larger domain. Then the complex dimensions of A , denoted P ( A ), are the poles of this extension. That is P ( A ) := { ω ∈ C | ω is a pole of ζ A ( s ) } . 5 / 17

Definitions & Notation: p -adic spaces Let p be a fixed prime number. Definition Let r ∈ Q . The p -adic absolute value of r is given by | r | p := p − n , where n is the unique integer such that there are a, b ∈ Z relatively prime to p with r = p n a b . Definition The p -adic numbers , denoted Q p , are the metric completion of Q with respect to the metric induced by the p -adic abolute value. The p -adic integers , denoted Z p , are elements of the “dressed” unit ball in Q p , i.e. Z p := B ≤ (0 , 1) = { x ∈ Q p | | x | p ≤ 1 } . Q p is equipped with the Haar measure µ such that µ ( Z p ) = 1. 6 / 17

Definitions & Notation: p -adic spaces Let Q ∈ N and α ∈ [1 , ∞ ). Notation On the product space Q Q p , define the equivalent metrics � Q � 1 /α | x i − y i | α d α ( x , y ) := � , p i =1 and � � � d ∞ ( x , y ) := max | x i − y i | p � 1 ≤ i ≤ Q . � Lemma For any Q ∈ N and any α ∈ [1 , ∞ ] , the product space ( Q Q p , d α , µ ) satisfies dim As ( Q Q p ) = Q, where µ is the natural product measure. 8 / 17

Definitions & Notation: Iterated function systems on Q Q p Definition A self-similar iterated function system (SSIFS) on Q Q p is a finite collection of maps { ϕ j } j ∈ J , each of which is of the form ϕ j ( x ) = p k j x + b j , p . We call p − k j the contraction ratio of ϕ j . We associate to an where k j ∈ N and b j ∈ Q Q SSIFS the map of sets � Φ( E ) := ϕ j ( E ) . j ∈ J Theorem Let Φ be as above. Then there is a unique, nonempty, compact set A ⊆ Q Q p such that Φ( A ) = A . We call A the attractor of the SSIFS. 9 / 17

Definitions & Notation: Iterated function systems on Q Q p Let { ϕ j } j ∈ J be an SSIFS. Notation Let J ∗ denote the set of all finite sequences (or “words”) with entries in J . For each J = ( j 1 , j 2 , . . . , j n ) ∈ J , define ϕ J = ϕ j n ◦ ϕ j n − 1 ◦ · · · ◦ ϕ 1 . Let ω = ( ) ∈ J ∗ denote the “empty word.” We adopt the convention that ϕ ω is the identity map, i.e. ϕ ω ( x ) = x. 10 / 17

Results & Examples: Self-similar sets Theorem Let A be the attractor of the SSIFS { ϕ j } j ∈ J on Q Q p . Further suppose that b j ∈ Z p for each j , and that ϕ j ( Z p ) ∩ ϕ j ′ ( Z p ) = ∅ for all j � = j ′ . Then ∞ � C n p − ns , ζ A ( s ) = ζ A , Ω ι ( s ) n =0 where � d ( x, A ) s − Q d µ ( x ) , ζ A , Ω ι ( s ) = Z Q p \ Φ( Z Q p ) and C n counts the number of maps of the form ϕ J for some J ∈ J ∗ with contraction ratio p − n . 12 / 17

Let C 2 denote the attractor of this SSIFS. 3 Z 3 + 1 We may also regard C 2 as the Cartesian prod- uct of two copies of a 3-adic Cantor set. In either case, C 2 is an analog of the ternary 3 Z 3 ϕ 1 ϕ 2 Cantor dust in R 2 . 3 Z 3 3 Z 3 + 1 3 Z 3 + 2 13 / 17

Results & Examples: Fibonacci attractors Example Fix a prime p and define maps on Q p by ϕ 2 ( x ) = p 2 x + 1 . ϕ 1 ( x ) = px, and Let F denote the attractor of the SSIFS { ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 } .

The current approach provides a broader context for the study of p -adic fractal strings, and avoids several technical difficulties. 15 / 17
