Topological mixing for substitutions on two letters
  We investigate topological mixing for Z and R actions associated with primitive substitutions on two letters. The characterization is complete if the second eigenvalue $\theta_2$ of the substitution matrix satisfies $|\theta_2|\ne 1$. If $|\theta_2|<1$, then (as is well-known) the substitution system is not topologically weak mixing, so it is not topologically mixing. We prove that if $|\theta_2|> 1$, then topological mixing is equivalent to topological weak mixing, which has an explicit arithmetic characterization. The case $|\theta_2|=1$ is more delicate, and we only obtain some partial results.
