Multiplicity of measures under factor codes and class degree joinings

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given a finite-to-one factor code pi:XoY between irreducible sofic shifts and an ergodic u on Y with full support, it is known that the fiber pi∗−1(u) has at most dpi ergodic measures in it where dpi is the degree of pi. We introduce the notion of multiplicity for ergodic measures on X (that depends on pi) and we prove that dpi is the sum of the multiplicity of mu where mu runs over the ergodic measures in pi∗−1(u). We also build an appropriate generalization to infinite-to-one factor codes in relation to class degree and relatively maximal measures. We also define the notion of degree joining (for finite-to-one factor codes) and class degree joining (for infinite-to-one factor codes) which are the main tool for establishing our results
