### Rotational beta expansion: ergodicity and soficness

#### Abstract

We study a family of piecewise expanding maps on the plane, generated by composition of a rotation and an expansive similitude of expansion constant $\beta$. We give two constants $B_1$ and $B_2$ depending only on the fundamental domain that if $\beta$ > $B_1$ then the expanding map has a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, and if $\beta$ > $B_2$ then it is equivalent to $2$-dimensional Lebesgue measure. Restricting to a rotation generated by $q$-th root of unity $\zeta$ with all parameters in $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta,\beta)$, the map gives rise to a sofic system when $\cos(2\pi/q) \in \mathbb{Q}(\beta)$ and $\beta$ is a Pisot number. It is also shown that the condition $\cos(2\pi/q) \in \mathbb{Q}(\beta)$ is necessary by giving a family of non-sofic systems for $q=5$.
