Abstract: We study a family of piecewise expanding maps on the plane, generated by composition of a rotation and an expansive similitude of expansion constant . We give two constants B1 and B2 depending only on the fundamental domain that if then the expanding map has a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, and if then it is equivalent to 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure. Restricting to a rotation generated by q-th root of unity zeta with all parameters in , it gives a sofic system when and is a Pisot number. It is also shown that the condition is necessary by giving a family of non-sofic systems for q=5.


The authors study a class of piecewise expanding two-dimensional maps \(T.\) These maps generalise the well-known positive and negative \(\beta\)-transformations. It is known that such maps admit an invariant measure \(\mu\) which is absolutely continuous with respect to the two-dimensional Lebesgue measure. The authors give conditions on \(T\) guaranteeing the uniqueness of \(\mu\), and conditions on \(T\) guaranteeing that \(\mu\) is in fact equivalent to the Lebesgue measure. The authors also study the symbolic dynamical system generated by the map \(T\). In particular, they give conditions ensuring that the associated symbolic dynamical system is sofic. In the final section of this paper the authors include several useful examples.
