Abstract

A Pisot numeration system UU for N\mathbb N is a sequence of natural numbers generated by an integral homogeneous linear recurrence whose characteristic polynomial is the minimal polynomial of a Pisot number. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the analogue of the group of pp-adic integers for such numerations when they \emph{preserve zeros}, which is equivalent to the `Condition F' introduced by Frougny and Solomyak for β\beta-numerations. We show that these topological groups ZU\mathbb Z_U project homomorphically onto a torus. Equipping ZU\mathbb Z_U with the appropriate topology, we also show that if UU is unimodular, then ZU\mathbb Z_U is continuously isomorphic to a torus.
