The monadic theory of toric words

Abstract:
For which unary predicates P1,,…,Pm is the MSO theory of the structure ⟨N; ⟨,P1,…,Pm⟩ decidable? We survey the state of the art, leading us to investigate combinatorial properties of almost-periodic, morphic, and toric words. In doing so, we show that if each Pi can be generated by a toric dynamical system of a certain kind, then the attendant MSO theory is decidable. We give various applications of toric words, including the recent result of [1] that the MSO theory of ⟨N; ⟨, {2n : n ∈ N}, {3n : n ∈ N}⟩ is decidable.
