The almost one-to-one coding conjecture for Pisot automorphisms

Let an automorphism be represented by f(x)f(x), and call it a Pisot automorphism if f(x)f(x) or f(1/x)f(1/x) is, up to a sign, monic and irreducible with a Pisot root β\beta; this β\beta is its associated Pisot number. Let SβS_\beta denote the symbolic coding associated with the Pisot number β\beta, and call a coding almost 11-to-11 if it has singleton fibers over a subset of full Haar measure.

Almost one-to-one coding conjecture. A Pisot automorphism with associated Pisot number β\beta admits an almost 11-to-11 coding by SβS_\beta.

This generalizes Schmidt's conjecture on codings for Pisot units. The statement is motivated by results of Schmidt, and by Sidorov and Vershik for a wider class of Pisot units including all quadratic units; Sidorov reduced the conjecture to algebraic considerations. Its general status is not specified in the source.
