In this paper, we consider different transformations generating expansions in base $\\beta$, including cases where the associated subshift is not sofic. Under certain mild conditions, we show that they give multiple tilings. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the tiling property, generalizing the weak finiteness property (W) for greedy $\\beta$-expansions. Remarkably, the symmetric $\\beta$-transformation does not satisfy this condition when $\\beta$ is the smallest Pisot number or the Tribonacci number. This means that the Pisot conjecture on tilings cannot be extended to the symmetric $\\beta$-transformation. Closely related to these (multiple) tilings are natural extensions of the transformations, which have many nice properties: they are invariant under the Lebesgue measure; under certain conditions, they provide Markov partitions of the torus; they characterize the numbers with purely periodic expansion, and they allow determining any digit in an expansion without knowing the other digits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-01-29T13:57:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11A63", "11R06", "28A80", "28D05", "37B10", "52C22", "52C23" ], "keywords": [ "pisot unit", "multiple tilings", "natural extensions", "beta-expansions", "smallest pisot number" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Trans.
