Abstract: We compute an explicit representation of the (topological) automorphism group or a particular Toeplitz subshift. The automorphism group is a (non-finitely generated) subgroup of rational numbers under addition and the shift map corresponds to the rational number 1. The group is the additive subgroup of the rational numbers generated by the powers of 5/2.

Review text

\textit{V. Cyr} and \textit{B. Kra} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 144, No. 2, 613--621 (2016; Zbl 1365.37019)] proved that the automorphism group of a topologically transitive shift with subquadratic growth, factored by the subgroup generated by the shift map, is periodic. The paper under review shows that it needs not be finitely generated. More precisely, for every prime number \(p\) and positive integer \(q < p/2\), a simple example of a Toeplitz shift is given. It has subquadratic growth and automorphism group equal to the additive group generated by the non-negative powers of \(p/q\).
