Review text

A Perron number is an algebraic integer \(\lambda\) which is real, and such that all its conjugates satisfy \(| x|<\lambda\). A theorem due to Lind and Handelman states that these numbers are precisely the dominant eigenvalues of the primitive matrices with coefficients in \(\mathbb{N}\). In this very nice paper the author gives a proof of this theorem which is algebraic (the usual proof is geometric), and relates Perron numbers, primitive matrices, \(\mathbb{N}\)-rational series and sofic dynamical systems. The paper ends with some open questions.
