A Scattering Theory for Markov Chains
(244K, PostScript)

ABSTRACT.  In the operator algebraic formulation of probability theory Markov processes
typically appear as perturbations of Bernoulli processes.
We develop a scattering theory for this situation.
This theory applies to the isomorphism problem between Markov processes
and Bernoulli shifts as well as to the description of open quantum systems.
