Towers and Bratteli-Vershik systems in Fibonacci-like unimodal maps
Jorge Olivares-Vinales, Semin Yoo
Abstract
For a class of Fibonacci-like unimodal maps, the restriction to the $ω$-limit set of the unique turning point defines a minimal Cantor system. We construct these Cantor sets geometrically using a nested sequence of finite covers with a tower structure. From this tower structure, we recover the associated Bratteli-Vershik model determined by the cutting times and obtain an explicit formula for the unique ergodic invariant probability measure supported on the $ω$-limit set. We conclude with applications illustrating the scope of the construction.
