"Entropy of Self-similar Measures"

It is known that a self-similar measure is either purely singular or absolutely continuous.  Despite this, for most measures we cannot say which case we are in.  One technique that has proved promising is the study of the Garsia Entropy of the measure.  In this talk I will discuss the history, properties and recent results for self-similar measures and Garsia Entropy.
