One of the important developments is the relation of them to the multi-dimensional dynamics, theory of joint spectrum of pencil of operators, and spectral theory of Laplace operator on graphs. They have relations to the theory of chaos, quasi-crystals, fractals, and random Schr\"odinger operators. Fractal groups arise in various fields of mathematics, including the theory of random walks, holomorphic dynamics, automata theory, operator algebras, etc. This paper gives a quick access to these topics, provides calculation and analysis of multi-dimensional rational maps arising via the Schur complement in some important examples, including the first group of intermediate growth and its overgroup, contains a discussion of the dichotomy “integrable-chaotic” in the considered model, and suggests a possible probabilistic approach to studying the discussed problems.įractal groups (also called self-similar groups) is the class of groups discovered by the first author in the 80th of the last century with the purpose to solve few famous problems in mathematics, including the question raising to von Neumann about non-elementary amenability (in the association with studies around the Banach-Tarski Paradox) and John Milnor's question on the existence of groups of intermediate growth between polynomial and exponential.

An infinite (respectively bi-infinite) word over A is a sequence x = ( x n ) n ∈ M is commonly known as the Baker's map, or rather is homomorphic to the Baker's map.
