Abstract

The classical Juzvinskii addition theorem states that the entropy of an automorphism of a compact group decomposes along invariant subgroups. Thomas generalized the theorem to a skew-product setting. Using L. Bowen’s f-invariant, we prove the addition theorem for actions of finitely generated free groups on skew-products with compact totally disconnected groups or compact Lie groups (correcting an error in L. Bowen [Nonabelian free group actions: Markov processes, the Abramov–Rohlin formula and Yuzvinskii’s formula. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.30(6) (2010), 1629–1663]) and discuss examples.
