Abstract: Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the $f$-invariant (for actions of free groups) and $Sigma$-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the $f$-invariant is a special case of $Sigma$-entropy. There are two applications: the $f$-invariant is invariant under group automorphisms and there is a uniform lower bound on the $f$-invariant of a factor in terms of the original system.
