Topological speedups of $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions

Abstract

We study minimal $\mathbb{Z}^d$-Cantor systems and the relationship between their speedups, their collections of invariant Borel measures, their associated unital dimension groups, and their orbit equivalence classes. In the particular case of minimal $\mathbb{Z}^d$-odometers, we show that their bounded speedups must again be odometers but, contrary to the 1-dimensional case, they need not be conjugate, or even isomorphic, to the original.
