We study the smooth self-maps $f$ of $× a$-invariant sets $X\subseteq[0,1]$. Under various assumptions we show that this forces $\log f'(x)/\log a∈\mathbb{Q}$ at many points in $X$. Our method combines scenery flow methods and equidistribution results in the positive entropy case, where we improve previous work of the author and Shmerkin, with a new topological variant of the scenery flow which applies in the zero-entropy case.

Keywords: Fractal geometry, measure rigidity, expanding maps, jointly invariant sets, Hausdorff dimension.
