Bessel sequences of exponentials on fractal measures

Jorgensen and Pedersen have proven that a certain fractal measure ν has no infinite set of complex exponentials which form an orthonormal set in L2(ν). We prove that any fractal measure μ obtained from an affine iterated function system possesses a sequence of complex exponentials which forms a Riesz basic sequence, or more generally a Bessel sequence, in L2(μ) such that the frequencies have positive Beurling dimension.
