reals, when is a matrix $ A $ algebraically shift equivalent over $ S $ to a primitive matrix?
We conjecture that simple necessary conditions on the nonzero spectrum of $ A $ are
sufficient, and establish the conjecture in many cases. If $ S $ is the integers, we give some
lower bounds on sizes of realizing primitive matrices. For Dedekind domains, we prove that
algebraic shift equivalence implies algebraic strong shift equivalence. References
