Ergodic actions of countable groups and finite generating partitions (Q748380): Difference between revisions

Summary: We prove the following finite generator theorem. Let \(G\) be a countable group acting ergodically on a standard probability space. Suppose this action admits a generating partition having finite Shannon entropy. Then the action admits a finite generating partition. We also discuss relationships between generating partitions and \(f\)-invariant and sofic entropies.
