Homomorphisms between multidimensional constant-shape substitutions

Dynamical Systems 2023-02-27 v3

Abstract

We study a class of Zd\Z^{d}-substitutive subshifts, including a large family of constant-length substitutions, and homomorphisms between them, i.e., factors modulo isomorphisms of Zd\Z^{d}. We prove that any measurable factor map and even any homomorphism associated to a matrix commuting with the expansion matrix, induces a continuous one. We also get strong restrictions on the normalizer group, proving that any endomorphism is invertible, the normalizer group is virtually generated by the shift action and the quotient of the normalizer group by the automorphisms is restricted by the digit tile of the substitution.

Comments

We corrected some missing parts on section 3 about recognizability and corrected the proof of Theorem 5.2. We also add the very helpful comments and suggestions from the anonymous referee. To appear in Groups, Geometry and Dynamics
