Dynamics and topology of S-gap shifts

Abstract: Let

S = s_{i} i n m a t h b b N c u p 0 : 0 l e q s_{i} < s_{i + 1}

and let

d_{0} = s_{0}

and

D e l t a (S) = {d_{n}}_{n}

where

d_{n} = s_{n} - s_{n - 1}

. In this note, we show that an

S

-gap shift is subshift of finite type (SFT) if and only if

S

is finite or cofinite, is almost-finite-type (AFT) if and only if

D e l t a (S)

is eventually constant and is sofic if and only if

D e l t a (S)

is eventually periodic. We also show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all

S

-gap shifts and

up to conjugacy. This enables us to induce a topology and measure structure on the set of all

S

-gaps. By using this, we give the frequency of certain

S

-gap shifts with respect to their dynamical properties.
