The authors define \(k\)-dimensional extensions for substitutions (morphisms) on a \(d\)-letter alphabet. These are generalizations of 1-dimensional extensions (which act on the space of formal sums of weighted unit segments in \(\mathbb{Z}^d\)). They study in particular the case where the morphisms are unimodular, resp. hyperbolic. As the authors note in their conclusion, there probably is a homology theory underlying their constructions, but it has not been found yet.
Two remarks to end this review: the authors call the morphism \(1\to 121\), \(2\to 12\) the Fibonacci substitution. This morphism is actually the square of the morphism \(1\to 12\), \(2\to 1\), which is classically called the Fibonacci substitution.
