Abstract

Let X be a compact metric space and let $f: X\!\rightarrow \! X$ be a homeomorphism on X. We show that if f is both pointwise recurrent and expansive, then the dynamical system $(X, f)$ is topologically conjugate to a subshift of some symbolic system. Moreover, if f is pointwise positively recurrent, then the subshift is semisimple; a counterexample is given to show the necessity of positive recurrence to ensure the semisimplicity.
