Abstract
In this paper we investigate some structure properties of the tail σ-field and the invariant σ-field of both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous Markov chains as representations for asymptotic events, descriptions of completely nonatomic and atomic sets and global characterizations of asymptotic σ-fields. It is shown that the Martin boundary theory can provide a unified approach to the asymptotic σ-fields theory.
