Algebraic Coding of Expansive Groupautomorphisms

چکیده
Let be an expansive automorphisms of compact connected abelian group X whose dual group ^ X is cyclic w.r.t. (i.e. ^ X is generated by f n : n 2 Zg for some 2 ^ X). Then there exists a canonical group homomorphism from the spacè 1 (Z;Z) of all bounded two-sided sequences of integers onto X such that = , where is the shift on`1 (Z;Z). We prove that there exists a sooc subshift V ` 1 (Z;Z) such that the restriction of to V is surjective and almost one-to-one. In the special case where is a hyperbolic toral automorphism with a single eigenvalue > 1 and all other eigenvalues of absolute value < 1 we show that, under certain technical and possibly unnecessary conditions, the restriction of to the two-sided beta-shift V ` 1 (Z;Z) is surjective and almost one-to-one. The proofs are based on the study of homoclinic points and an associated algebraic construction of symbolic representations in 12] and 7]. Earlier results in this direction were obtained by 1. Introduction The classical constructions of symbolic representations of hyperbolic toral automorphisms are based on their geometrical properties and make no sig-niicant use of algebra (cf. 1], 3], 6], 21]). In 23] a diierent approach is proposed, based on arithmetical ideas, leading to a symbolic representation

Expansive Subdynamics for Algebraic Z -actions
A general framework for investigating topological actions of Zd on compact metric spaces was proposed by Boyle and Lind in terms of expansive behavior along lower-dimensional subspaces ofRd . Here we completely describe this expansive behavior for the class of algebraic Zd -actions given by commuting automorphisms of compact abelian groups. The description uses the logarithmic image of an algeb...

This paper gives an algebraic characterization of expansive actions of countable abelian groups on compact abelian groups. This naturally extends the classification of expansive algebraic Zd-actions given by Schmidt using complex varieties. Also included is an application to a natural class of examples arising from unit subgroups of integral domains. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 22D...

In this paper we consider Z-actions, d ≥ 1, by automorphisms of compact connected abelian groups which contain at least one expansive automorphism (such actions are called algebraic Z-actions of expansive rank one). If α is such a Z-action on an infinite compact connected abelian group X, then every expansive element α of this action has a dense group ∆αn(X) of homoclinic points. For different ...
