### Realizing dimension groups, good measures, and Toeplitz factors

David Handelman

#### Abstract

Motivated by connections between dimension groups and good measures or minimal actions on Cantor sets (especially Töplitz), we find realizations of classes of dimension groups as limits of primitive matrices all of which have equal column sums, or equal row sums.
