# Conformal Markov systems, Patterson-Sullivan measure on limit sets and spectral triples

• For conformal graph directed Markov systems, we construct a spectral triple from which one can recover the associated conformal measure via a Dixmier trace. As a particular case, we can recover the Patterson-Sullivan measure for a class of Kleinian groups.
