Abstract

Let be the convex set of Borel probability measures on the circle invariant under the action of the transformation (mod 1). Its projection on the complex plane by the application is a compact convex subset of the unit disc, symmetric with respect to the x-axis, called the ‘fish’ by Bousch. Seeing the boundary of the upper half-fish as a function, we focus on its local regularity. We show that its multifractal spectrum is concentrated at , but that every pointwise regularity is realized in an uncountable dense set of points. The results rely on fine properties of Sturm measures.
