Flow equivalence and orbit equivalence for shifts of finite type and isomorphism of their groupoids (Q1799178)

The authors study shift spaces and apply their results to corresponding operator algebras. They show that if two one-sided shift spaces of finite type are continuously orbit equivalent then the associated two-sided shift spaces are flow equivalent. This result generalizes a claim by \textit{K. Matsumoto} and \textit{H. Matui} [Kyoto J. Math. 54, No. 4, 863--877 (2014; Zbl 1320.46055)]. They also prove that two one-sided shifts of finite type are continuously orbit equivalent if and only if the associated groupoids are isomorphic. Applications to graph algebras and Cuntz-Krieger algebras are obtained.
