Abstract
Two cellular automata are strongly conjugate if there exists a shift-commuting conjugacy between them. We prove that the following two sets of pairs (F, G) of one-dimensional one-sided cellular automata over a full shift are recursively inseparable:
(i)
pairs where F has strictly larger topological entropy than G, and
(ii)
pairs that are strongly conjugate and have zero topological entropy.
Because there is no factor map from a lower entropy system to a higher entropy one, and there is no embedding of a higher entropy system into a lower entropy system, we also get as corollaries that the following decision problems are undecidable: Given two one-dimensional one-sided cellular automata F and G over a full shift: Are F and G conjugate? Is F a factor of G? Is F a subsystem of G? All of these are undecidable in both strong and weak variants (whether the homomorphism is required to commute with the shift or not, respectively). It also immediately follows that these results hold for one-dimensional two-sided cellular automata.
