  Abstract:
We show that every topological factoring between two zero-dimensional dynamical systems can be represented by a sequence of morphisms between the levels of the associated ordered Bratteli diagrams‎. ‎Conversely‎, ‎we prove that given an ordered Bratteli diagram $B$ with a continuous Vershik map on it‎, ‎every sequence of morphisms between levels of $B$ and $C$‎, ‎where $C$ is another ordered Bratteli diagram with continuous Vershik map‎, ‎induces a topological factoring if and only if $B$ has a unique infinite minimal path‎. ‎We present a method of constructing various examples of ordered premorphisms between two decisive Bratteli diagrams such that the induced maps between the two Vershik systems are not topological factorings‎. ‎We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a topological factoring from an ordered premorphism‎. ‎Expanding on the modelling of factoring‎, ‎we generalize the Curtis--Hedlund--Lyndon theorem to represent factor maps between two zero-dimensional dynamical systems through sequences of sliding block codes.
