Bijective and general arithmetic codings for Pisot automorphisms of the torus
Abstract
Let be an algebraic automorphism of having the following property: the characteristic polynomial of its matrix is irreducible over , and a Pisot number is one of its roots. We define the mapping acting from the two-sided -compactum onto as follows: where is a fundamental homoclinic point for , i.e., a point homoclinic to such that the linear span of its orbit is the whole homoclinic group (provided such a point exists). We call such a mapping an arithmetic coding of . This paper is aimed to show that under some natural hypothesis on (which is apparently satisfied for all Pisot units) the mapping is bijective a.e. with respect to the Haar measure on the torus. Besides, we study the case of more general parameters , not necessarily fundamental, and relate the number of preimages of to certain number-theoretic quantities. We also give several full criteria for to admit a bijective arithmetic coding. This work continues the study begun in [Sidorov & Vershik, Journal Dynam. Control Systems 4 (1998), 365-399] for the special case .
