Symbolic substitutions, Bratteli diagrams and operator algebras (Q6134910)

This paper explores the connection between symbolic substitutions and Bratteli diagrams of systems of finite-dimensional operator algebras. It focuses on the preservation of various properties of symbolic substitutions under equivalence notions of their associated Bratteli diagrams, such as telescope equivalence. A key finding demonstrates that this correspondence preserves the aperiodicity and primitivity of symbolic substitutions but does not maintain the rank, order, or number of letters. The paper is well-written and self-contained, making it a nice introductory resource on the relationship between symbolic dynamics and the combinatorics of Bratteli diagrams. It features numerous illustrative examples and offers references for background information.
