Abstract

For each irreducible hyperbolic automorphism $A$ of the $n$-torus we construct a sofic system $(\Sigma,\sigma)$ and a bounded-to-one continuous semiconjugacy from $(\Sigma,\sigma)$ to $({\Bbb T}^n,A)$. This construction is natural in the sense that it depends only on the characteristic polynomial of $A$ and, furthermore, it has an arithmetic interpretation.
