Rauzy induction of polygon partitions and toral $\mathbb{Z}^2$-rotations
Abstract
We extend the notion of Rauzy induction of interval exchange transformations to the case of toral -rotation, i.e., -action defined by rotations on a 2-torus. If denotes the symbolic dynamical system corresponding to a partition and -action such that is Cartesian on a sub-domain , we express the 2-dimensional configurations in as the image under a -dimensional morphism (up to a shift) of a configuration in where is the induced partition and is the induced -action on . We focus on one example for which we obtain an eventually periodic sequence of 2-dimensional morphisms. We prove that it is the same as the substitutive structure of the minimal subshift of the Jeandel-Rao Wang shift computed in an earlier work by the author. As a consequence, is a Markov partition for the associated toral -rotation . It also implies that the subshift is uniquely ergodic and is isomorphic to the toral -rotation which can be seen as a generalization for 2-dimensional subshifts of the relation between Sturmian sequences and irrational rotations on a circle. Batteries included: the algorithms and code to reproduce the proofs are provided.
