From Markovian actions to Anosov flows
Abstract
In this paper, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a group action on a bifoliated plane to arise from a topological Anosov flow supported by an orientable $3$-manifold. More precisely, we show that a group action on a non-singular bifoliated plane arises from such a flow if and only if it is an orientation preserving strong Markovian action, that is, an orientation preserving action of the plane preserving a family of rectangles satisfying suitable Markov-type properties. Furthermore, we prove that this family of rectangles can be lifted to a Markov partition of the associated flow.
