Abstract

We investigate the shifts associated with natural codings of linear involutions. We deduce, from the geometric representation of linear involutions as Poincaré maps of measured foliations, a suitable definition of return words which yields that the set of return words to a given word is a symmetric basis of the free group on the underlying alphabet, $A$ . The set of return words with respect to a subgroup of finite index $G$ of the free group on $A$ is also proved to be a symmetric basis of $G$ .
