The Fischer, Krieger, and fiber product covers of sofic beta-shifts are constructed and used to show that every strictly sofic beta-shift is 2-sofic. Flow invariants based on the covers are computed, and shown to depend only on a single integer that can easily be determined from the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$-expansion of 1. It is shown that any beta-shift is flow equivalent to a beta-shift given by some $1<\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}<2$, and concrete constructions lead to further reductions of the flow classification problem. For each sofic beta-shift, there is an action of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on the edge shift given by the fiber product, and it is shown precisely when there exists a flow equivalence respecting these $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-actions. This opens a connection to ongoing efforts to classify general irreducible 2-sofic shifts via flow equivalences of reducible shifts of finite type (SFTs) equipped with $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-actions.

AbstractWe study a new topological classification of suspension flows on subshifts of finite type, and obtain a new proof of a theorem of Boyle's which states that, in an appropriate sense, all such flows are alike. We prove that the stochastic version of this classification is non-trivial by exhibiting a certain invariant, and show that this invariant is complete in a particular case, although not in general. Symbolic flows are important as models of basic sets of Axiom A flows, and so we discuss the significance of our results for this latter type of flow.

Recently Ohtsuki [Oh2], motivated by the notion of finite type knot invariants, introduced the notion of finite type invariants for oriented, integral homology 3-spheres. In the present paper we propose another definition of finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres and give equivalent reformulations of our notion. We show that our invariants form a filtered commutative algebra. We compare the two induced filtrations on the vector space on the set of integral homology 3-spheres. As an observation, we discover a new set of restrictions that finite type invariants in the sense of Ohtsuki satisfy and give a set of axioms that characterize the Casson invariant. Finally, we pose a set of questions relating the finite type 3-manifold invariants with the (Vassiliev) knot invariants.
