Abstract
Let be the group or the monoid where is a positive integer. Let be a subshift over , i.e., a closed and shift-invariant subset of where is a finite alphabet. We prove that the topological entropy of is equal to the Hausdorff dimension of and has a sharp characterization in terms of the Kolmogorov complexity of finite pieces of the orbits of . In the version of this paper that has been published in Theory of Computing Systems, the proof of Lemma 4.3 contains a confusing typographical error. This version of the paper corrects that error.
