Abstract

We show that if $(X, T)$ is an extension of an aperiodic subshift (a subsystem of $(\mathop{\{ 1, 2, \ldots , l\} }\nolimits ^{ \mathbb{Z} } , \mathrm{shift} )$ for some $l\in \mathbb{N} $) and has mean dimension $\mathrm{mdim} (X, T)\lt (D/ 2), D\in \mathbb{N} $, then it can be equivariantly embedded in $(\mathop{(\mathop{[0, 1] }\nolimits ^{D} )}\nolimits ^{ \mathbb{Z} } , \mathrm{shift} )$. The result is sharp. If $(X, T)$ is an extension of an aperiodic zero-dimensional system then it can be equivariantly embedded in $(\mathop{(\mathop{[0, 1] }\nolimits ^{D+ 1} )}\nolimits ^{ \mathbb{Z} } , \mathrm{shift} )$.
