It is said to be of finite type if it is defined by a finite collection of \"forbidden patterns\" and to be strongly aperiodic if it has no points fixed by a nontrivial element of the group. We show that if G has at least two ends, then there are no strongly aperiodic subshifts of finite type on G (as was previously known for free groups). Additionally, we show that among torsion free, finitely presented groups, the property of having a strongly aperiodic subshift of finite type is invariant under quasi isometry.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-15T13:02:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "37B10" ], "keywords": [ "strongly aperiodic subshift", "finite type", "large scale geometry", "finite collection", "forbidden patterns" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1412.4572C" } } }
