Abstract

We determine the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions of some self-affine Sierpinski sponges, extending results of McMullen and Bedford. This result is used to show that every compact set invariant under an expanding toral endomorphism which is a direct sum of conformal endomorphisms supports an invariant measure of full dimension.
