Abstract

Abstract. Let M = ZD be a D-dimensional lattice, and let (A, +) be an abelian group. AM is then a compact abelian group under componentwise addition. A continuous function Φ : AMAM is called a linear cellular automaton if there is a finite subset FM and non-zero coefficients φf ∈ Z so that, for any aAM, Φ(a) = Σf∈Fφf · σf(a). Suppose that µ is a probability measure on AM whose support is a subshift of finite type or sofic shift. We provide sufficient conditions (on Φ and µ) under which Φ asymptotically randomizes µ, meaning that wk* − limJj,→∞ Φjµ = η, where η is the Haar measure on AM, and JN has Cesàro density one. In the case when Φ = 1 + σ and A = (Z/p)s (p prime), we provide a condition on µ that is both necessary and sufficient. We then use this to construct zero-entropy measures which are randomized by 1 + σ.
