Abstract

Let (Y, S) be a (not necessarilly invertible) topological dynamical system on a zero-dimensional metric spaceY without periodic points. Then there exists a minimal system (X, T) with the same simplex of invariant measures as (Y, S). More precisely, there exists a Borel isomorphism between full sets inY andX such that the adjoint map on measures is a homeomorphism between the corresponding sets of invariant measures in the weak topology. As an application we construct a minimal system carrying isomorphic copies of all nonatomic invariant measures.
