On the future cover of a sofic shift
arXiv:2512.01368
Abstract
The paper contains a new proof of the theorem by Krieger which establishes the canonicity of the future cover of a sofic shift. In addition the paper describes a method to produce new canonical covers from a given one, resulting in canonical covers related to, but generally different from the future cover.
