We study a class of measures on the real line with a kind of self-similar structure, which we call dynamically driven self-similar measures, and contain proper self-similar measures such as Bernoulli convolutions as special cases. Our main result gives an expression for the Lq dimensions of such dynamically driven self-similar measures, under certain conditions. As an application, we settle Furstenberg's long-standing conjecture on the dimension of the intersections of ×p- and ×q-invariant sets. Among several other applications, we also show that Bernoulli convolutions have an Lq density for all finite q, outside of a zero-dimensional set of exceptions. The proof of the main result is inspired by M. Hochman's approach to the dimensions of self-similar measures and his inverse theorem for entropy. Our method can be seen as an extension of Hochman's theory from entropy to Lq norms, and likewise relies on an inverse theorem for the decay of Lq norms of discrete measures under convolution. This central piece of our approach may be of independent interest, and it is an application of well-known methods and results in additive combinatorics: the asymmetric version of the Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers Theorem due to Tao-Vu, and some constructions of Bourgain.
