A subshift with linear block complexity has at most countably many ergodic measures, and we continue of the study of the relation between such complexity and the invariant measures. By constructing minimal subshifts whose block complexity…
In [Ergodic Theory Dynam. System, 16 (1996) 663--682], S. Ferenczi proved that any minimal subshift with first difference of complexity bounded by 2 is $S$-adic with $\card S \leq 3^{27}$. In this paper, we improve this result by giving an…
Every non-erasing monoid morphism $\sigma: \mathcal{A}^* \to \mathcal{B}^*$ induces a {\em measure transfer map} $\sigma_X^{\mathcal{M}}: \mathcal{M}(X) \to \mathcal{M}(\sigma(X))$ between the measure cones $\mathcal{M}(X)$ and…
We provide characterizations of continuous eigenvalues for minimal symbolic dynamical systems described by $S$-adic structures satisfying natural mild conditions, such as recognizability and primitiveness. Under the additional assumptions…
If $\mathcal{A}$ is a finite set (alphabet), the shift dynamical system consists of the space $\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{N}}$ of sequences with entries in $\mathcal{A}$, along with the left shift operator $S$. Closed $S$-invariant subsets are…
We show that the set of ergodic invariant measures of a shift space with a safe symbol (this includes all hereditary shifts) is arcwise connected when endowed with the $d$-bar metric. As a consequence the set of ergodic measures of such a…
We define a random walk adic transformation associated to an aperiodic random walk on $G=\mathbb{Z}^{k}\times\mathbb{R}^{D-k}$ driven by a $\beta$-transformation and study its ergodic properties. In particular, this transformation is…
We prove that every infinite minimal subshift with word complexity $p(q)$ satisfying $\limsup p(q)/q < 3/2$ is measure-theoretically isomorphic to its maximal equicontinuous factor; in particular, it has measurably discrete spectrum. Among…
We study two-dimensional subshifts whose horizontal trace (a.k.a. projective subdynamics) contains only points of finite support. Our main result is a classification result for such subshifts satisfying a minimality property. As…
Consider a subshift over a finite alphabet, $X\subset \Lambda^{\mathbb Z}$ (or $X\subset\Lambda^{\mathbb N_0}$). With each finite block $B\in\Lambda^k$ appearing in $X$ we associate the empirical measure ascribing to every block…
We deal with countable alphabet locally compact random subshifts of finite type (the latter merely meaning that the symbol space is generated by an incidence matrix) under the absence of Big Images Property and under the absence of uniform…
For any fixed alphabet A, the maximum topological entropy of a Z^d subshift with alphabet A is obviously log |A|. We study the class of nearest neighbor Z^d shifts of finite type which have topological entropy very close to this maximum,…
We explain and restate the results from our recent paper arXiv:1503.08000.v3 in standard language for substitutions and $S$-adic systems in symbolic dynamics. We then produce as rather direct application an $S$-adic system (with finite set…
In this work we study $S$-adic shifts generated by sequences of morphisms that are constant-length. We call a sequence of constant-length morphisms torsion-free if any prime divisor of one of the lengths is a divisor of infinitely many of…
We prove that certain Gibbs measures on subshifts of finite type are nonsingular and ergodic for certain countable equivalence relations, including the orbit relation of the adic transformation (the same as equality after a permutation of…
Subshifts of deterministic substitutions are ubiquitous objects in dynamical systems and aperiodic order (the mathematical theory of quasicrystals). Two of their most striking features are that they have low complexity (zero topological…
Ergodic optimization aims to describe dynamically invariant probability measures that maximize the integral of a given function. The Dyck and Motzkin shifts are well-known examples of transitive subshifts over a finite alphabet that are not…
We construct a family of ergodic measures on random substitution subshifts (RS-subshifts) associated to a primitive random substitution. In particular, the word frequencies of every finite legal word exist for almost every element of the…
An idea that became unavoidable to study zero entropy symbolic dynamics is that the dynamical properties of a system induce in it a combinatorial structure. An old problem addressing this intuition is finding a structure theorem for…
Dendric shifts are defined by combinatorial restrictions of the extensions of the words in their languages. This family generalizes well-known families of shifts such as Sturmian shifts, Arnoux-Rauzy shifts and codings of interval exchange…
