On g-measures in symbolic dynamics

Finitary Markov processes are described in G. Morvai and B. Weiss, Prediction for discrete time series, Probability Theory and Related Fields 132 (2005), 1–12. The transition functions of finitary Markov processes are residually locally constant g-functions that can be extended by continuity to their maximal domain of definition. The study of their associated symbolic dynamics leads one to the D-shifts as introduced in W. Krieger, On g-functions for subshifts, Institute of Mathematical Statistics Lecture Notes-Monograph Series, Vol. 48, Dynamics & Stochastics, arXiv:math.DS/0608259, (2006), 306–316, We study the phenomena that can arise in residually locally constant and locally constant maximally defined g-functions on D-shifts, Markov shifts and synchronizing systems with respect to future measures and g-measures
