Abstract

We study the construction of exponential frames and Riesz sequences for a class of fractal measures on ℝd generated by infinite convolution of discrete measures using the idea of frame towers and Riesz-sequence towers. The exactness and overcompleteness of the constructed exponential frame or Riesz sequence is completely classified in terms of the cardinality at each level of the tower. Using a version of the solution of the Kadison-Singer problem, known as the Rϵ-conjecture, we show that all these measures contain exponential Riesz sequences of infinite cardinality. Furthermore, when the measure is the middle-third Cantor measure, or more generally for self-similar measures with no-overlap condition, there are always exponential Riesz sequences of maximal possible Beurling dimension.
