    Multidimensional extension of the Morse--Hedlund theorem

    Full text link
    A celebrated result of Morse and Hedlund, stated in 1938, asserts that a sequence xx over a finite alphabet is ultimately periodic if and only if, for some nn, the number of different factors of length nn appearing in xx is less than n+1n+1. Attempts to extend this fundamental result, for example, to higher dimensions, have been considered during the last fifteen years. Let d≥2d\ge 2. A legitimate extension to a multidimensional setting of the notion of periodicity is to consider sets of \ZZ^d definable by a first order formula in the Presburger arithmetic . With this latter notion and using a powerful criterion due to Muchnik, we exhibit a complete extension of the Morse--Hedlund theorem to an arbitrary dimension $d$ and characterize sets of $\ZZ^d$ definable in in terms of some functions counting recurrent blocks, that is, blocks occurring infinitely often

    Conjugacy of unimodular Pisot substitutions subshifts to domain exchanges

    Full text link
    We prove that any unimodular Pisot substitution subshift is measurably conjugate to a domain exchange in Euclidean spaces which factorizes onto a minimal rotation on a torus. This generalizes the pioneer works of Rauzy and Arnoux-Ito providing geometric realizations to any unimodular Pisot substitution without any additional combinatorial condition.Comment: 29 p. In this new version, a gap in the proof of the main theorem has been fixe
