"title": "Weakly and Strongly Aperiodic Subshifts of Finite Type on Baumslag-Solitar Groups",
"abstract": "We study the periodicity of subshifts of finite type (SFT) on Baumslag-Solitar groups.\nWe show that for residually finite Baumslag-Solitar groups there exist both strongly and weakly-but-not-strongly aperiodic SFTs. In particular, this shows that unlike , but like , strong and weak aperiodic SFTs are different classes of SFTs in residually finite BS groups. More precisely, we prove that a weakly aperiodic SFT on BS(m,n) due to Aubrun and Kari is, in fact, strongly aperiodic on BS(1,n); and weakly but not strongly aperiodic on any other BS(m,n).\nIn addition, we exhibit an SFT which is weakly but not strongly aperiodic on BS(1,n); and we show that there exists a strongly aperiodic SFT on BS(n,n).",

"text": "The use of tilings as a computational model was initiated by Wang in the 60s [20 ###reference_b20###] as a tool to study specific classes of logical formulas.\nHis model consists in square tiles with colors on each side, that can be placed next to each other if the colors match.\nWang studied the tilings of the discrete infinite plane () with these tiles, now called Wang tiles; a similar model exists to tile the infinite line () with two-sided dominoes.\nWang realized that a key property of these tilings was the notion of periodicity.\nAt the time, it was already known that if a set of dominoes tiled , it was always possible to do it in a periodic fashion, and Wang suspected that it was the same for Wang tiles on .\nHowever, a few years later, one of his students, Berger, proved otherwise by providing a set of Wang tiles that tiled the plane but only aperiodically [5 ###reference_b5###]. Numerous aperiodic sets of Wang tiles have been provided by many since then (see for example [18 ###reference_b18###, 14 ###reference_b14###, 13 ###reference_b13###]).\nThe model of Wang tiles is actually equivalent to tilings using an arbitrary finite alphabet with adjacency rules, and it has become a part of symbolic dynamics, a more general way to encode a smooth dynamical system into symbolic states and trajectories.\nThis approach by discretization (see [10 ###reference_b10###] for a comprehensive historiography) is itself part of the field of discrete dynamical systems.\nIn this broader context, it is interesting to study the set of all possible tilings for a given finite list of symbols and adjacency rules, called a Subshift of Finite Type (SFT).\n-SFTs have been studied extensively, and many of their properties are known (see for example [15 ###reference_b15###]).\n-SFTs (for ) seem to be much more complex, as many results from the unidimensional case cannot be directly transcribed to higher dimensions.\nIn recent years, the even wider class of SFTs built over Cayley graphs of groups has been attracting more and more attention [6 ###reference_b6###, 12 ###reference_b12###, 1 ###reference_b1###].\nIn this broader setting, many questions about periodicity are still open [6 ###reference_b6###].\nFor example there are many groups for which we do not know if there exists a non-empty SFT with only aperiodic configurations (called an aperiodic SFT).\nAnother relevant question is the relation between two notions of aperiodicity, weak and strong aperiodicity: the first one requires all configurations to have infinitely many distinct translates; the second one that no configuration has any period whatsoever.\nThey are equivalent for SFTs over or , but this is not the case for other groups (notably ), and for many the relation is not even known.\nBaumslag-Solitar groups of parameters and , commonly denoted by , initially gathered interest in symbolic dynamics because of their simple description and rich properties.\nNotably, their domino problem is undecidable [3 ###reference_b3###]; and Aubrun and Kari built a weakly aperiodic SFT in order to prove it.\nTheir proof is essentially sketched in the general case, where it encodes piecewise affine maps, as it is done on in [14 ###reference_b14###].\nOnly the case is detailed in their paper; and an explicit period is provided for a given configuration, which shows that the resulting SFT, although weakly aperiodic, is not strongly aperiodic.\nIn the present paper, after a few definitions (Section 1 ###reference_###);\nwe thoroughly reintroduce Aubrun and Kari’s construction in the general case,\nand provide a precise proof of its weak aperiodicity by encoding piecewise linear maps (Section 2 ###reference_###) (although Aubrun and Kari sketched the proof for encoding piecewise affine maps, only piecwise linear ones are needed for the aperiodicity result).\nThen, we show that the resulting SFT is weakly but not strongly aperiodic on any (Section 2.2 ###reference_###) (as sketched in [3 ###reference_b3###]); except on where, with some extra work, we prove that it is strongly aperiodic (Section 2.4 ###reference_###).\nThen, using a different technique based on substitutions on words, we exhibit a weakly but not strongly aperiodic SFT on (Section 3 ###reference_###).\nFinally, by using tools from group theory and a theorem by Jeandel [12 ###reference_b12###], we build a strongly aperiodic SFT on any (Section 4 ###reference_###).\nThese new results are summarized in the following table (in bold):\nThe end result is that any residually finite Baumslag-Solitar group with or has a strongly aperiodic SFT and a weakly but not strongly aperiodic SFT. The remaining question is whether a general admits a strongly aperiodic SFT, when not in the , or cases."

The idea behind that theorem is that admits a strongly aperiodic SFT as soon as can encode piecewise affine functions. This is reflected by the condition described in [12 ###reference_b12###] and restated below.\nLet . Let be a finite set of piecewise affine rational homeomorphisms, where each and is a finite union of bounded rational polytopes of . Let be the common domain of all functions of and their inverses.\nLet be the closure of the set under composition. We define , the group .\nA finitely generated group is -recognizable if there exists a finite set of piecewise affine rational homeomorphisms such that:\n(A) ;\n(B) .\nIf is an infinite finitely generated -recognizable group, then admits a strongly aperiodic SFT.\nWe need two additional propositions to obtain the desired result on :\nIf is a finitely generated group and is a finitely generated subgroup of of finite index, then we have the following:\nadmits a weakly aperiodic SFT admits a weakly aperiodic SFT\nadmits a strongly aperiodic SFT admits a strongly aperiodic SFT.\nThe following proposition is known, but we include a self-contained proof.\nadmits as a subgroup of finite index, where is the free group of order .\nLet be the subgroup of generated by .\nFirst, is normal in .

Indeed, any word in is a succession of generators of it, and . But commutes with all the other generators due to the relation of , so such a form is always attainable. To prove it is unique, it is enough to prove it for : suppose we have some . First, realize that no relation in allows to reduce the total power of in a word, causing necessarily. Then, consider the resulting word in : it cannot be reduced in since all powers of between two ’s are of absolute value smaller than .\nAs a consequence, the previous equality is true only when and .

Then force to appear on the left of the itself to the left of , and call the remaining power of (it is in up to moving another to the leftmost part of the word) before another to the left. Repeat this operation until there is no to the left of the power of you consider, and split this final into .\nAs a consequence, .\nHence is of finite index in .\n∎\nFor every , admits a strongly aperiodic SFT.\nFirst, finitely generated subgroups of compact groups of matrices on integers are -recognizable (see [12 ###reference_b12###], Proposition 5.12). , the free group of order , is isomorphic to a subgroup of (see [8 ###reference_b8###, Lemma 2.3.2]), hence it is -recognizable.\nIt is also known (see [8 ###reference_b8###, Corollary D.5.3]) that is a subgroup of ; so it is isomorphic to a subgroup of and -recognizable too.\nTherefore by Theorem 4.1 ###reference_theorem1### admits a strongly aperiodic SFT.\nUsing Proposition 4.2 ###reference_theorem2### and Proposition 4.3 ###reference_theorem3###, we obtain that admits a strongly aperiodic SFT.\n∎"
