On centauric subshifts
Apparaît également dans la collection : Computability, randomness and applications / Calculabilité, hasard et leurs applications
We discuss subshifts of finite type (tilings) that combine virtually opposite properties, being at once very simple and very complex. On the one hand, the combinatorial structure of these subshifts is rather simple: we require that all their configurations are quasiperiodic, or even that all configurations contain exactly the same finite patterns (in the last case a subshift is transitive, i.e., irreducible as a dynamical system). On the other hand, these subshifts are complex in the sense of computability theory: all their configurations are non periodic or even non-computable, or all their finite patterns have high Kolmogorov complexity, the Turing degree spectrum is rather sophisticated, etc. We start with the simplest example of such centaurisme with an SFT that is minimal and contains only aperiodic (and quasiperiodic) configurations. Then we discuss how far these heterogeneous properties can be strengthened without getting mutually exclusive. This is a joint work with Bruno Durand (Univ. de Montpellier).
