# K-groups of the full group actions on one-sided topological Markov shifts

• Let $(X_A,\sigma_A)$ be the one-sided topological Markov shift for an $N\times N$ irreducible matrix $A$ with entries in $\{ 0,1 \}$. We will first show that the continuous full group $\Gamma_A$ of $(X_A,\sigma_A)$ is non amenable as a discrete group and contains all finite groups and free groups. We will second introduce the K-group $K^0(X_A,\Gamma_A)$ for the action of $\Gamma_A$ on $X_A$, and show that the group $K^0(X_A,\Gamma_A)$ with the position of the constant $1$ function is a complete invariant for the topological conjugacy class of the action of $\Gamma_A$ on $X_A$ under some conditions.
