Feb 28, 2014 at 14:18 comment added Ian Morris Anthony: er, so it is! I had somehow miscalculated the determinant as being $2$ and got an eigenvalue of $\frac{5+\sqrt{17}}{2}$. Thank you!
Feb 28, 2014 at 13:24 comment added Anthony Quas Ummm... the leading eigenvector of that matrix is (1|1) with eigenvalue 4: under the substitution, $01\mapsto 00111100$.
Feb 28, 2014 at 10:49 comment added Ian Morris Dekking and Keane show that the substitution $0 \mapsto 001$, $1 \mapsto 11100$ is weak mixing. The measures of the cylinders $[0]$ and $[1]$ are determined by the limiting ratio of ones to zeros in the substitution, which in turn is given by the ratio of entries in the leading eigenvector of the matrix $(2 2 | 1 3)$. In particular I think that the measures of the cylinder sets are irrational for this substitution. I am a little concerned that irrational eigenvalues might be necessary for weak mixing but this is a good direction of inquiry I think. Thanks!
Feb 28, 2014 at 9:31 comment added Tom Kempton Could you build such an example explicitly using substitutions? Take a substitution on symbols {0,1}, let \Sigma be the orbit closure of a periodic point for your substitution, the shift map on \Sigma has zero entropy and is uniquely ergodic. For the Thue Morse substitution, the invariant measure gives measure (1/2,1/2) to each symbol. Lots of people have studied conditions under which these systems are weak mixing (e.g. Dekking and Keane 83, which I don't have access to at home). Maybe you need three symbols to make weak mixing, but if there is an example here it's probably easy and explicit.
