Automorphisms of one-sided subshifts of finite type

Abstract

We prove that the automorphism group of a one-sided subshift of finite type is generated by elements of finite order. For one-sided full shifts we characterize the finite subgroups of the automorphism group. For one-sided subshifts of finite type we show that there are strong restrictions on the finite subgroups of the automorphism group. © 1990, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
