Generalizing the left Fischer cover

Idea: Find a suitable subgraph of the left Krieger cover. P ∈ E 0

K is said to be decomposable if there exist n > 1 and

P1, . . . , Pn ∈ E 0

K \ {P} such that P1 ∪ · · · ∪ Pn = P.

Lemma

If P is non-decomposable then the subgraph of (EK, LK) induced by E 0

K \ {P} is not a presentation of X.

Generalized left Fischer cover E 0

G = {P ∈ E 0 K | Path in EK from P to non-decomp. P′}.

Properties of the generalized left Fischer cover

  • 1. (EG, LG) is an essential, left-resolving, and

predecessor-separated presentation of X.

  • 2. If X is irreducible then (EG, LG) = (EF, LF).
  • 3. When X1, X2 have disjoint alphabets then the

generalized left Fischer cover of X1 ∪ X2 is obtained as the disjoint union of the generalized left Ficher covers of X1 and X2.

  • 1. (EG, LG) is an essential, left-resolving, and

  • 2. If X is irreducible then (EG, LG) = (EF, LF).
  • 3. When X1, X2 have disjoint alphabets then the

generalized left Fischer cover of X1 ∪ X2 is obtained as the disjoint union of the generalized left Ficher covers of X1 and X2.

Proof.

  • 1. Given y− ∈ X− choose x+ ∈ X+ such that

y− ∈ P∞(x+). Choose non-decomp. P1, . . . , Pn ∈ E 0

K

such that P∞(x+) = ∪n

i=1Pi, and i such that y− ∈ Pi.

Now there is a path in (EK, LK) labelled y− terminating at Pi. This is also a path in (EG, LG). Inherited: Left-resolving and predecessor-separated.

  • 2. P ∈ E 0

K non-decomposable ⇔ P ∈ E 0 F.

  • 3. Inherited from the left Krieger cover.

Theorem

The generalized left Fischer cover is canonical, i.e. if Φ: X1 → X2 is a conjugacy and πi : XEGi → X(EGi ,LGi ) = Xi is the covering map of the generalized left Fischer cover of Xi then there is a conjugacy φ: XEG1 → XEG2 such that Φ ◦ π1 = π2 ◦ φ. Proof uses strategy and techniques used by Nasu to prove an analogous result for the Krieger cover.
