Abstract

If (X, f) is a compact metric, finite-dimensional dynamical system with a zero-dimensional set of periodic points, then there is a zero-dimensional compact metric dynamical system (C, g) and a finite-to-one (in fact, at most (n + l)n-to-one) surjection h: C → X such that h o g = f o h. An example shows that the requirement on the set of periodic points is necessary.
