Abstract

To a factor map φ from an irreducible shift of finite type ΣA to a sofic shift S, we associate a subgroup of the dimension group (GA, Â) which is an invariant of eventual conjugacy for φ. This invariant yields new necessary conditions for the existence of factor maps between equal entropy sofic shifts.
