"Markovianity and the Thompson Monoid F+"

We show that representations of the Thompson monoid F+ yield a large class of unilateral stationary noncommutative Markov processes. As a partial converse, unilateral stationary Markov processes in tensor dilation form (and in particular, in the commutative setting) are shown to yield representations of F+. This is joint work with Claus Koestler and Stephen J. Wills.
