Abstract: In this paper we look at symbolic substitutions and their relationship to Bratteli diagrams and their associated operator algebras. In particular, we consider the equivalence relation on substitutions induced by telescope equivalence of Bratteli diagrams. Such an equivalence preserves pure aperiodicity and primitivity but fails to preserve rank, order, and number of letters. In a similar manner, we consider the equivalence relation on substitutions induced by telescope equivalence of ordered Bratteli diagrams. This results in a finer equivalence but fails to provide a complete invariant. An application to Fibonacci-like substitutions is developed.

Review text

This paper explores the connection between symbolic substitutions and Bratteli diagrams of systems of finite-dimensional operator algebras. It focuses on the preservation of various properties of symbolic substitutions under equivalence notions of their associated Bratteli diagrams, such as telescope equivalence. A key finding demonstrates that this correspondence preserves the aperiodicity and primitivity of symbolic substitutions but does not maintain the rank, order, or number of letters. The paper is well-written and self-contained, making it a nice introductory resource on the relationship between symbolic dynamics and the combinatorics of Bratteli diagrams. It features numerous illustrative examples and offers references for background information.
