TL;DR

This paper refines Bratteli-Vershik models for zero-dimensional systems by introducing basic sets and quasi-sections, establishing their existence, and exploring their properties to improve model classification and ordering.

Contribution

Findings

Existence of basic sets is proven.

Refined models with minimal sets properly ordered are constructed.

Refinements concerning Bratteli-Vershikizability and decisiveness are achieved.

Abstract

In the zero-dimensional systems, the Bratteli-Vershik models can be built upon certain closed sets that are called `quasi-sections' in this article. There exists a bijective correspondence between the topological conjugacy classes of triples of zero-dimensional systems and quasi-sections and the topological conjugacy classes of Bratteli-Vershik models. Therefore, we can get refined Bratteli-Vershik models if we get certain refined quasi-sections. The basic sets are such refined quasi-sections that bring `closing property' on the corresponding Bratteli-Vershik models. We show a direct proof on the existence of basic sets. Thorough investigations on quasi-sections and basic sets are done. Furthermore, it would be convenient for the Bratteli-Vershik models to concern minimal sets. To this point, we show the existence of the Bratteli-Vershik models whose minimal sets are properly ordered. On the other hand, we can get certain refinements with respect to the Bratteli-Vershikizability condition or the decisiveness.
