Abstract: The Bratteli diagram is an infinite graph which reflects the structure of projections in a C*-algebra. We prove that every strictly ergodic unimodular Bratteli diagram of rank 2g+m-1 gives rise to a minimal geodesic lamination with the m-component principal region on a surface of genus g greater or equal to 1. The proof is based on the Morse theory of the recurrent geodesics on the hyperbolic surfaces.

Review text

Given a strictly ergodic unimodular Bratelli diagram \(B\) of rank \(2g+m-1\), the author indicates how to constrct an explicit minimal geodesic lamination with \(m\) principal regions on a hyperbolic surfaces of genus \(g\). The symbolic dynamics of a dense geodesic of the lamination is determined by the Bratelli diagram. The paper contains short reviews of geodesic laminations, Morse coding, Bratelli diagrams. The proofs are sketchy, not easy to understand, and based on interval exchange transformations.
