A direct consequence of this result is that every countable group has a strongly aperiodic subshift on the alphabet $\\{0,1\\}$. In this article, we use Lov\\'asz local lemma to first give a new simple proof of this result, and second to prove the existence of a $G$-effective strongly aperiodic subshift for any finitely generated group $G$. We also study the problem of realizing densities in groups as a way of generalizing Sturmian sequences. This problem surprisingly turned out to be harder. We provide subshifts realizing any density only in the case of finitely generated amenable groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-13T09:42:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "realization", "lovasz local lemma", "direct consequence", "simple proof", "effective strongly aperiodic subshift" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
