Abstract

In this article we prove that given a self-similar interval exchange transformation T(λ,π), whose associated matrix verifies a quite general algebraic condition, there exists an affine interval exchange transformation with wandering intervals that is semi-conjugated to it. That is, in this context the existence of Denjoy counterexamples occurs very often, generalizing the result of Cobo [Piece-wise affine maps conjugate to interval exchanges. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.22 (2002), 375–407].
