Abstract:
Let $f$ be a constant-to-one endomorphism of degree $d$, of a sub-shift of finite type ${\Sigma _A}$. If $p$ is a prime dividing $d$, then $p$ divides every nonleading coefficient of ${\chi _A}$, the characteristic polynomial for $A$. Further constraints are given for the possible degrees of a constant-to-one factor map between subshifts of finite type.References
