- Abstract: The one-dimensional spin-$s$ ${\rm SU}(2)$ ferromagnetic Heisenberg model, as a paradigmatic example for spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) with type-B Goldstone modes (GMs), is expected to exhibit an abstract fractal underlying the ground state subspace. This intrinsic abstract fractal is here revealed from a systematic investigation into the entanglement entropy for a linear combination of factorized (unentangled) ground states on a fractal decomposable into a set of the Cantor sets. The entanglement entropy scales logarithmically with the block size, with the prefactor being half the fractal dimension of a fractal, as long as the norm for the linear combination scales as the square root of the number of the self-similar building blocks kept at each step $k$ for a fractal, under an assumption that the maximum absolute value of the coefficients in the linear combination is chosen to be around one, and the coefficients in the linear combination are almost constants within the building blocks. Actually, the set of the fractal dimensions for all the Cantor sets forms a {\it dense} subset in the interval $[0,1]$. As a consequence, the ground state subspace is separated into a disjoint union of countably infinitely many regions, each of which is labeled by a decomposable fractal. Hence, the interpretation of the prefactor as half the fractal dimension is valid for any support beyond a fractal, which in turn leads to the identification of the fractal dimension with the number of type-B GMs for the orthonormal basis states. Our argument may be extended to any quantum many-body systems undergoing SSB with type-B GMs.

We show that it suffices to consider extremal measurements with rayextremal effects, and we bound the number of elements of any such measurement in terms of the linear dimension.
For systems with a finite number of extremal effects, we recast the problem of characterizing the extremal measurements with ray-extremal effects.

For a fractal dimension $d_f$, we find that the $d_f$-th moment $M_d_f$ is a conserved quantity, independent of $p$ and $alpha$.
In an attempt to connect the symmetry with the conserved quantity, we reinterpret the continuity equation of a Euclidean quantum-mechanical system.

We exploit the fact that completely random measures, which commonly used models like the Dirichlet process and the beta-Bernoulli process can be expressed as, are decomposable into independent sub-measures.
We use this decomposition to partition the latent measure into a finite measure containing only instantiated components, and an infinite measure containing all other components.
The resulting hybrid algorithm can be applied to allow scalable inference without sacrificing convergence guarantees.
