A dimension group for local homeomorphisms and endomorphisms of onesided shifts fo finite type.
Given an arbitrary countable subgroup of the torus, containing infinitely many rationals, we construct a strictly ergodic 0-1 Toeplitz flow with pure point spectrum equal to . For a large class of Toeplitz flows certain eigenvalues are induced by eigenvalues of the flow Y which can be seen along the aperiodic parts.
Let be a minimal non-periodic flow which is either symbolic or strictly ergodic. Any topological extension of is Borel isomorphic to an almost 1-1 extension of . Moreover, this isomorphism preserves the affine-topological structure of the invariant measures. The above extends a theorem of Furstenberg-Weiss (1989). As an application we prove that any measure-preserving transformation which admits infinitely many rational eigenvalues is measure-theoretically isomorphic to a strictly ergodic toeplitz...
