Combinatorial models of expanding dynamical systems

Dynamical Systems 2019-02-20 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We define iterated monodromy groups of more general structures than partial self-covering. This generalization makes it possible to define a natural notion of a combinatorial model of an expanding dynamical system. We prove that a naturally defined "Julia set" of the generalized dynamical systems depends only on the associated iterated monodromy group. We show then that the Julia set of every expanding dynamical system is an inverse limit of simplicial complexes constructed by inductive cut-and-paste rules.

Comments

The new version differs substantially from the first one. Many parts are moved to other (mostly future) papers, the main open question of the first version is solved
