Abstract

In this paper, we prove that almost every translation of T2\mathbb{T}^2 admits a symbolic coding which has linear complexity 2n+12n+1. The partitions are constructed with Rauzy fractals associated with sequences of substitutions, which are produced by a particular extended continued fraction algorithm in projective dimension 22. More generally, in dimension d1d\geq 1, we study extended measured continued fraction algorithms, which associate to each direction a subshift generated by substitutions, called SS-adic subshift. We give some conditions which imply the existence, for almost every direction, of a translation of the torus Td\mathbb{T}^d and a nice generating partition, such that the associated coding is a conjugacy with the subshift.
