Abstract: We will consider a family of fractal measures on the real line $ \mathbb{R}$ which are fixed, in the sense of Hutchinson, under a finite family of contractive affine mappings. The maps are chosen such as to leave gaps on $ \mathbb{R}$. Hence they have fractal dimension strictly less than $ 1$. The middle-third Cantor construction is one example. Depending on the gaps and the scaling factor, it is known that the corresponding Hilbert space $ L^{2}(\mu)$ exhibits strikingly different properties. In this paper we show that when $ \mu$ is fixed in a certain class, there are positive integers $ p$ such that multiplication by $ p$ modulo $ 1$ induces an ergodic automorphism on the measure space (support($ \mu$), $ \mu$).
