Shift endomorphisms and compact Lie extensions

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider a one-sided shift \(\sigma\) of finite type with state-space \(X\) and an equilibrium state \(m\) defined by a normalized Hölder continuous function \(g\) on \(X\). Every Hölder-function \(\sigma_f\) on \(X\) with values in a compact Lie group \(G\) induces an extension \(\sigma_f\) of \(\sigma\) by \(\sigma_f (x,y)= (\sigma(x), f(x)y)\). The purpose of the paper is to extend known results on dynamical properties of \(\sigma\) to the extension \(\sigma_f\). The main result is a partial classification for such extensions: Let \(\sigma'\) be another such shift with state-space \(X'\) and equilibrium state \(m'\) defined by a Hölder function \(g'\), let \(f': X'\to G'\) be Hölder continuous and denote by \(\sigma_{f'}'\) the extension of \(\sigma'\). If \(g\) and \(g'\) separate points of \(X\), \(X'\) then \(\sigma_f\) and \(\sigma_{f'}'\) are measurably isomorphic if and only if there is a measure-preserving homeomorphism \(\varphi_1: X\to X'\), an automorphism \(\alpha\) of \(G\) and a Hölder continuous function \(h: X\to G\) such that the homeomorphism \(\varphi: X\times G\to X'\times G\) defined by \(\varphi(x,y)= (\varphi_1(x), h(x) \alpha(y))\) commutes with the action of \(\sigma_f\) on \(X\times G\) and \(\sigma_{f'}'\) on \(X'\times G\).
