Abstract: Through this paper we analyze the ergodic properties of continuous time Markov chains with values on the one-dimensional spin lattice 1,...,d}^N (also known as the Bernoulli space). Initially, we consider as the infinitesimal generator the operator L=mcLAI, where mc L_A is a discrete time Ruelle operator (transfer operator), and A:{1,...,d}^N o R is a given fixed Lipschitz function. The associated continuous time stationary Markov chain will define theemph{a priori}probability. Given a Lipschitz interaction V:{1,...,d}^{�b N} o mathbb{R}, we are interested in Gibbs (equilibrium) state for such V. This will be another continuous time stationary Markov chain. In order to analyze this problem we will use a continuous time Ruelle operator (transfer operator) naturally associated to V. Among other things we will show that a continuous time Perron-Frobenius Theorem is true in the case V is a Lipschitz function. We also introduce an entropy, which is negative, and we consider a variational principle of pressure. Finally, we analyze large deviations properties for the empirical measure in the continuous time setting using results by Y. Kifer.
