Abstract: Let G be a group and let A be a finite-dimensional vector space over an arbitrary field K. We study finiteness properties of linear subshifts SigmasubsetAG and the dynamical behavior of linear cellular automata aucolonSigmaoSigma. We say that G is of K-linear Markov type if, for every finite-dimensional vector space A over K, all linear subshifts SigmasubsetAG are of finite type. We show that G is of K-linear Markov type if and only if the group algebra K[G] is one-sided Noetherian. We prove that a linear cellular automaton au is nilpotent if and only if its limit set, i.e., the intersection of the images of its iterates, reduces to the zero configuration. If G is infinite, finitely generated, and Sigma is topologically mixing, we show that au is nilpotent if and only if its limit set is finite-dimensional. A new characterization of the limit set of au in terms of pre-injectivity is also obtained.
