Abstract

Given a code from a shift space to an irreducible sofic shift, any two of the three conditions—open, constant-to-one and (right or left) closing—imply the third. If the range is not sofic, then the same result holds when bi-closingness replaces closingness. Properties of open mappings between shift spaces are investigated in detail. In particular, we show that a closing open (or constant-to-one) extension preserves the structure of a sofic shift.
