[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00019.] Translation invariant subgroups of abelian compact groups play an important role in harmonic analysis. In this paper the authors investigate such subgroups of \(G=\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{Z}^ 2}\) where the two- element set \(\{0,1\}\) is considered as the group \(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\). For a finite set \(F\subset\mathbb{Z}^ 2\) one defines the subgroup \(X_ F\) of \(G\) as the set of elements \(x\in G\) such that the sum of the components with index in \(F\) is zero for every translate of \(x\). Such translation invariant subgroups are called Markov subgroups. The essential result is that every closed translation invariant subgroup of \(G\) is the intersection of a finite collection of Markov subgroups. It is actually proved that closed translation invariant subgroups are in one-to-one correspondence with the ideals in \(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}[x^{\pm 1},y^{\pm 1}]\) and such ideals are finitely generated. This paper also contains a lot of discussions about related problems: entropy, mixing, topological conjugacy, measurable isomorphisms and factors, subshifts.
