Abstract

Surface laminations are classic closed sets of disjoint curves in surfaces. We give here a full description of how to obtain codings of such laminations when they are non-orientable by using lamination languages, i.e. specific linear complexity languages of two-way infinite words. We also compare lamination languages with symbolic laminations, i.e. the coding counterparts of algebraic laminations.
