Abstract

We compare a piecewise linear map with constant slope $\beta \gt 1$ and a piecewise linear map with constant slope $-\beta $. These maps are called the positive and negative $\beta $-transformations. We show that for a certain set of $\beta $s, the multinacci numbers, there exists a measurable isomorphism between these two maps. We further show that for all other values of $\beta $between 1 and 2 the two maps cannot be isomorphic.
