The analogies between the diffusion problem and the resistor network problem as witnessed by the Einstein relation have been very important for analytical and numerical investigations of linear problems in disordered geometries (e.g. percolating clusters). This raises the question whether the resistor problem can be identified in a purely probabilistic context. An affirmative answer has recently been given and it was shown that the Einstein relation follows from a simple probabilistic argument. Here we present the results of a more general treatment.

We construct deterministic fractal lattices using generators with tetrahedral symmetry. From the corresponding master equation we determine the spectral dimension d and prove that d<2. Furthermore we extend our set of fractals (with d dense in [1,2]) by direct multiplication, thus obtaining fractals whose d are dense for all real numbers larger than or equal to 1 .

We introduce and investigate new classes of Sierpinski-type fractals. We determine their fractal and spectral dimensions using renormalisation procedures and, for particular classes, we give these dimensions in closed form. The spectral dimensions densely fill the interval [1,2], allowing us to choose flexibly models for applications.

We present a family of deterministic fractals which generalise the d-dimensional Sierpinski gaskets and we establish their order of ramification and their fractal and spectral dimensions. Random walks on these fractals are renormalisable and lead to rational, not necessarily polynomial, mappings.
