Abstract

We use matrices over formal power series to represent irreducible and positive recurrent Markov chains and identify a natural class of good finitary isomorphisms (magic word isomorphisms) as those arising from elementary matrix operations. This extends the positive K-theory framework which has been used for other classification problems in symbolic dynamics.
