Abstract: Lind and Schmidt have shown that the homoclinic group of a cyclic $$ algebraic dynamical system is isomorphic to the dual of the phase group. We show that this duality result is part of an exact sequence if $k=1$. The exact sequence is a well known algebraic object, which has been applied by Schmidt in his work on rigidity. We show that it can be derived from dynamical considerations only. The constructions naturally lead to an almost 1-1-coding of certain Pisot automorphisms by their associated $$-shift, generalizing similar results for Pisot automorphisms of the torus.

Review text

\textit{D. Lind} and \textit{K. Schmidt} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 12, No.~4, 953--980 (1999; Zbl 0940.22004)] showed that for some ergodic \(\mathbb Z^d\)-actions by automorphisms of a compact group \(X\) the group \(H\) of homoclinic points (points whose orbits approach the identity along any path going to infinity in \(\mathbb Z^d\)) is isomorphic to the character group of \(X\). More generally, \textit{M. Einsiedler} and \textit{K. Schmidt} [Dynamics and randomness. Lectures given at the conference, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile, December 11--15, 2000. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. Nonlinear Phenom. Complex Syst. 7, 95--124 (2002; Zbl 1030.37016)] showed that the homoclinic group is a quotient of a locally compact ring \(R\) by \(H\). Here the structure of this ring \(R\) is examined more closely in the case \(d=1\) of a single automorphism; in particular it is described in terms of the stable and unstable groups of the action under an adapted topology. This provides a topological version of a special case of the Pisot--Vijayaraghavan theorem, and a connection to coding and Rauzy fractals is given.
