Abstract

Suppose that S is a transitive locally compact Markov shift with Gurevic entropy less than log p, where p is an integer. If the inequality is strict, then S admits a graph presentation with degree p. Additionally, we realize any pre-assigned values for the Salama entropies. This result is best possible, since there are examples of Gurevic entropy log p which do not admit a graph presentation with degree p. We also show that every non-compact locally compact Markov shift has presentations without synchronizing blocks.
