No label defined (Q4946034)

For a finite alphabet \(\Sigma\) subshits are defined as closed shift-invariant subsets of the shift spaces \(\Sigma^Z\). The topological Markov chain \(M(G)\) is associated with the directed graph \(G\) labeled with symbols from \(\Sigma\) as follows. The state space of the chain is the set of labeled edges of \(G\), and transition from edge \(\delta\) to edge \(\delta'\) is allowed if the final vertex of \(\delta\) coincides with the initial vertex of \(\delta'\). The map that assigns to a bi-infinite path on \(G\) its labeled sequence is denoted by \(\pi_G\). For a given shift \(X\) the irreducible Shannon graph \(G(X)\) is considered. The essence of the paper is given by following quotation: ``\dots{} the system that consists of the topological Markov chain \(M(G(X))\) together with the mapping \(\pi_{G(X)}\) is characterized by intrinsic properties, and \dots{} invariants of the pair \((M(G(X)), \pi_{G(X)})\) are invariants of \(X\) itself''.
