On the determinicity of paths on substitution complexes

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of combinatorial determinacy properties of a family of substitution complexes consisting of quadrilaterals glued side-to-side with each other. These properties are useful in constructing algebraic structures with a finite number of defining relations. In particular, this method was used when constructing a finitely presented infinite nisemigroup satisfying the identity x^9 =0. This construction responds to the problem of L. N. Shevrin and M. V. Sapir. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of coloring the entire sequence of complexes into a finite number of colors, in which the property of weak determinism is fulfilled: if the colors of the three vertices of a certain quadrilateral are known, then the color of the fourth side is uniquely determined, except in some cases of a special arrangement of the quadrilateral.
