Abstract: For a homeomorphism TcolonXoX of a Cantor set X, the mapping class group mathcalM(T) is the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving self-homeomorphisms of the suspension SigmaTX. The group mathcalM(T) can be interpreted as the symmetry group of the system (X,T) with respect to the flow equivalence relation. We study mathcalM(T), focusing on the case when (X,T) is a minimal subshift. We show that when (X,T) is a subshift associated to a substitution, the group mathcalM(T) is an extension of mathbbZ by a finite group; for a large class of substitutions including Pisot type, this finite group is a quotient of the automorphism group of (X,T). When (X,T) is a minimal subshift of linear complexity satisfying a no-infinitesimals condition, we show that mathcalM(T) is virtually abelian. We also show that when (X,T) is minimal, mathcalM(T) embeds into the Picard group of the crossed product algebra C(X)timesTmathbbZ.
