S-adic and substitutive systems for countable groups
Abstract : S-adic and substitutive systems have a rich theory in both the one-dimensional and multi-dimensional settings. With the hope of recovering these tools for group actions, in this talk, I will show how we can expand the notion of substitutions to countable groups. I will explore how different classes of groups admit different kinds of hierarchical decompositions that allow for the definition of S-adic and substitutive subshifts.
