Tail probability estimates for certain Rademacher sums
We prove that in order to describe the Poisson boundary of rational affinities, it is necessary and sufficient to consider the action on real and all -adic fileds.
Let be a process with state space satisfying (a somewhat relaxed version of) Meyer’s “hypothèses droites”. Then by introducing a new topology (called the Ray topology) on and a compactification of in the Ray topology one can regard as a Ray process. However, this construction depends on the choice of an arbitrary uniformity on and not just the topology of . We show that the Ray topology is independent of the choice of this uniformity. We then introduce a space (the Ray space) which...
The equations of left and right distributivity of composition of distribution functions over triangle functions are solved in a restricted domain.
Let G be a group acting on Ω and ℱ a G-invariant algebra of subsets of Ω. A full conditional probability on ℱ is a function P: ℱ × (ℱ∖{∅}) → [0,1] satisfying the obvious axioms (with only finite additivity). It is weakly G-invariant provided that P(gA|gB) = P(A|B) for all g ∈ G and A,B ∈ ℱ, and strongly G-invariant provided that P(gA|B) = P(A|B) whenever g ∈ G and A ∪ gA ⊆ B. Armstrong (1989) claimed that weak and strong invariance are equivalent, but we shall show that this is false and that weak...
