Abstract

For each Π10\Pi^0_1 SNS\subseteq \mathbb{N}, let the SS-square shift be the two-dimensional subshift on the alphabet {0,1}\{0,1\} whose elements consist of squares of 1s of various sizes on a background of 0s, where the side length of each square is in SS. Similarly, let the distinct-square shift consist of seas of squares such that no two finite squares have the same size. Extending the self-similar Turing machine tiling construction of Durand, Romashchenko and Shen, we show that if XX is an SS-square shift or any effectively closed subshift of the distinct square shift, then XX is sofic.
