Toeplitz subshifts with trivial centralizers and positive entropy

Abstract

Given a dynamical system $(X, G)$ , the centralizer $C (G)$ denotes the group of all homeomorphisms of $X$ which commute with the action of $G$ . This group is sometimes called the automorphism group of the dynamical system $(X, G)$ . We generalize the construction of Bułatek and Kwiatkowski (1992) to $ℤ^{d}$ -Toeplitz systems by identifying a class of $ℤ^{d}$ -Toeplitz systems that have trivial centralizers. We show that this class of $ℤ^{d}$ -Toeplitz systems with trivial centralizers contains systems with positive topological entropy.
