We revisit the well-known and much studied Riesz product representation of the Thue-Morse diffraction measure, which is also the maximal spectral measure for the corresponding dynamical spectrum in the complement of the pure point part. The known scaling relations are summarised, and some new findings are explained.

The classic Thue--Morse measure is a paradigmatic example of a purely singular continuous probability measure on the unit interval. Since it has a representation as an infinite Riesz product, many aspects of this measure have been studied in the past, including various scaling properties and a partly heuristic multifractal analysis. Some of the difficulties emerge from the appearance of an unbounded potential in the thermodynamic formalism. It is the purpose of this article to review and prove some of the observations that were previously established via numerical or scaling arguments.
We show that Hamiltonian monodromy of an integrable two degrees of freedom system with a global circle action can be computed by applying Morse theory to the Hamiltonian of the system. Our proof is based on Takenss index theorem, which specifies how the energy-h Chern number changes when h passes a non-degenerate critical value, and a choice of admissible cycles in Fomenko-Zieschang theory. Connections of our result to some of the existing approaches to monodromy are discussed.
We show that, with the exception of the words $a^2ba^2$ and $b^2ab^2$, all (finite or infinite) binary patterns in the Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence can actually be found in that sequence as segments (up to exchange of letters in the infinite case). This result was previously attributed to unpublished work by D. Guaiana and may also be derived from publications of A. Shur only available in Russian. We also identify the (finitely many) finite binary patterns that appear non trivially, in the sense that they are obtained by applying an endomorphism that does not map the set of all segments of the sequence into itself.
Let $b ge 2$ and $ell ge 1$ be integers. We establish that there is an absolute real number $K$ such that all the partial quotients of the rational number $$ prod_{h = 0}^ell , (1 - b^{-2^h}), $$ of denominator $b^{2^{ell+1} - 1}$, do not exceed $exp(K (log b)^2 sqrt{ell} 2^{ell/2})$.
We propose and analyse a mathematical measure for the amount of squeezing contained in a continuous variable quantum state. We show that the proposed measure operationally quantifies the minimal amount of squeezing needed to prepare a given quantum state and that it can be regarded as a squeezing analogue of the entanglement of formation. We prove that the measure is convex and superadditive and we provide analytic bounds as well as a numerical convex optimisation algorithm for its computation. By example, we then show that the amount of squeezing needed for the preparation of certain multi-mode quantum states can be significantly lower than naive approaches suggest.
