For a parameter $\\alpha \\in [0,1]$, an alphabet $\\mathcal{A}$, and a scale $n \\in \\mathbb{N}$, one obtains a distribution of random $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ SFTs by randomly and independently forbidding each pattern of shape $\\{1,\\dots,n\\}^d$ with probability $1-\\alpha$ from the full shift on $\\mathcal{A}$. We prove two main results concerning random $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ SFTs. First, we establish sufficient conditions on $\\alpha$, $\\mathcal{A}$, and a $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ subshift $Y$ so that a random $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ SFT factors onto $Y$ with probability tending to one as $n$ tends to infinity. Second, we provide sufficient conditions on $\\alpha$, $\\mathcal{A}$ and a $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ subshift $X$ so that $X$ embeds into a random $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ SFT with probability tending to one as $n$ tends to infinity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-28T19:12:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite type", "factor maps", "embeddings", "main results concerning random", "full shift" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
