We prove that any topological conjugacy between subshifts is decomposed into the product of‘bipartite codes’, and obtain a natural generalization of Williams' theorem to sofic systems: two sofic systems are topologically conjugate iff the ‘representation matrices’ of the right [left] Krieger covers for them are ‘strong shift equivalent’ within right [left] Krieger covers; a similar result with respect to Fischer covers holds for transitive sofic systems.
