The obstruction conjecture for Toeplitz speedups
Let be a Toeplitz flow with period structure , and let be a positive integer. A minimal speedup with orbit number means a minimal bounded speedup of whose orbit number is . Obstruction conjecture for Toeplitz speedups. If
for infinitely many , then has no minimal speedup with orbit number that is a Toeplitz flow. In particular, if is a constant-length left proper substitution, then has no minimal speedup with orbit number that is also a Toeplitz flow. This is one of the paper's concluding conjectures, and the supplied text gives no resolution.
