Matching for generalised $\beta$-transformations
  We investigate matching for the family $T_\alpha(x) = \beta x + \alpha \pmod 1$, $\alpha \in [0,1]$, for fixed $\beta > 1$. Matching refers to the property that there is an $n \in \mathbb N$ such that $T_\alpha^n(0) = T_\alpha^n(1)$. We show that for various Pisot numbers $\beta$, matching occurs on an open dense set of $\alpha \in [0,1]$ and we compute the Hausdorff dimension of its complement. Numerical evidence shows more cases where matching is prevalent.
