Curtis–Hedlund–Lyndon theorem

TheoremCurtis–Hedlund–Lyndon theorem with an arbitrary discrete output alphabet#✓fully proved

Let \(A\) be a finite set and \(B\) any set, both with the discrete topology, and give \(A^{\mathbb{Z}}\) and \(B^{\mathbb{Z}}\) the product topology. For \(k \in \mathbb{Z}\) let \(\sigma^k\) be the shift on either space given by \((\sigma^k x)_n = x_{n+k}\) for all \(n \in \mathbb{Z}\). A map \(F : A^{\mathbb{Z}} \to B^{\mathbb{Z}}\) is a sliding block code, that is, there are a radius \(r \in \mathbb{N}\) and a local rule \(\varphi : A^{2r+1} \to B\) with \(F(x)_n = \varphi(x_{n-r}, \dots, x_{n+r})\) for all \(x \in A^{\mathbb{Z}}\) and \(n \in \mathbb{Z}\), if and only if \(F\) is continuous and commutes with every shift: \(F(\sigma^k x) = \sigma^k F(x)\) for all \(x \in A^{\mathbb{Z}}\) and \(k \in \mathbb{Z}\).
