Title: Cobham's theorem and substitutions subshifts
Abstract: We show and proove the following modified version of Cobham's theorem (1969). Let $\sigma$ and $\tau$ be two primitive substitutions with dominant eigenvalues $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively. Suppose $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are multiplicatively independent. Then, $(X_{\sigma},T)$ and $(X_{\tau},T)$ have a common factor if and only if this factor is periodic.
