Constructions of subshifts with positive topological entropy dimension

Abstract

The notion of entropy dimension has been introduced to measure the subexponential complexity of zero entropy systems. In this work we present a general construction of a strictly ergodic subshift of topological entropy dimension $\alpha$ for each $\alpha \in (0,1)$. It is shown that the system satisfies some sort of regularity in the size of atoms and the first return time. Moreover, we modify the construction to obtain a variant system that is weakly mixing.
