Non-abelian free group actions: Markov processes, the Abramov-Rohlin formula and Yuzvinskii’s formula. (English) Zbl 1221.37009

Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 30, No. 6, 1629-1663 (2010); corrigendum ibid. 33, No. 2, 643-645 (2013).
The author introduces Markov chains and processes over non-abelian free groups and semigroups. He proves a formula for the \(f\)-invariant of a Markov chain over a free group in terms of transition matrices and parallels the classical formula for the entropy of a Markov chain. Applications include free group analogues of the Abramov-Rohlin formula for skew-product actions and Yuzvinskii’s addition formula for algebraic actions.
