[For the entire collection see Zbl 0725.00013.] Continuing the fundamental contributions on harmonic groups initiated by \textit{G. Forst} [Inventiones Math. 18, 143-182 (1972; Zbl 0242.31011)] and \textit{C. Berg} [ibid. 32, 49-100 (1976; Zbl 0371.31007)] the author studied in [Russ. Math. Surv. 42, No. 5, 49-94 (1987); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 42, No. 5(257), 41-78 (1987; Zbl 0636.60077)] the relationship between harmonic groups and space-homogeneous Markov processes by examining in a detailed fashion the corresponding translation invariant differential operator. In the paper under review a selection of his results are presented (in English) without proofs, and some additional information is given. In particular the well-known correspondence between \(P\)-harmonic spaces \(E\) [\textit{C. Constantinescu} and \textit{A. Cornea}, Potential theory on harmonic spaces (1972; Zbl 0248.31011)] and standard Markov processes \(\underline X\) such that the nonnegative superharmonic functions of \(E\) coincide with the excessive functions on \(\underline X\) is specified in the case of projective sequences generated by an elliptic differential operator on the infinite- dimensional group \(\mathbb{R}^ n\times\mathbb{T}^ \infty\). It turns out (Theorem 3.1) that this example covers the entire class of elliptic harmonic groups.
