Ergodic decomposition of exchangeable graph laws (issue #59, part 2) #
The fixed-fiber ergodicity argument: a permutation-invariant event has M.law-measure
0 or 1, giving the ergodicity links of the DJ 5.5 / #59 equivalence.
Infrastructure:
InfiniteGraph.FinSupp.one/.inv/.mul— the finitely supported permutations ofℕare closed under identity, inverse, and composition (a subgroup ofEquiv.Perm ℕ);InfiniteGraph.swapBlock k— the involution swapping the block[0, k)with[k, 2k)(fixing everything past2k), a finitely supported permutation;InfiniteGraph.restrictFin_relabel_swapBlock— relabeling byswapBlock kmoves the initialk-window onto thek-tail window:restrictFin k (relabel (swapBlock k) G) = restrictFin k (drop k G); henceInfiniteGraph.relabel_swapBlock_preimage_mem_tailAlgebra— theswapBlock krelabeling carries everyinitialAlgebra kevent into atailAlgebra kevent;Graphon.InfiniteExchangeableGraphLaw.exists_initialAlgebra_measure_symmDiff_lt— in-measure approximation by initial cylinders: every Borel event is approximated inM.law-measure by an event depending on only finitely many vertices (viaexists_measure_symmDiff_lt_of_generateFrom_isSetRing, the initial cylinders being a set-ring that generates the Borel σ-algebra).
Fixed-fiber ergodicity:

The finitely supported permutations form a subgroup #
The inverse of a finitely supported permutation is finitely supported.
The composition of two finitely supported permutations is finitely supported.
The block swap [0, k) ↔ [k, 2k) #
The block swap [0, k) ↔ [k, 2k): a finitely supported involution of ℕ.
Equations
Instances For
The block swap is finitely supported (it fixes everything past 2k).
The block swap carries initial cylinders to tail cylinders #
The block swap moves the initial window onto the tail window: the graph induced
on the first k vertices after relabeling by swapBlock k equals the graph induced on
{k, …, 2k−1} — the first k vertices of the k-tail.
The block-swap relabeling carries an initialAlgebra k event into a tailAlgebra k
event: it moves dependence on the first k vertices to dependence on {k, …, 2k−1},
which is contained in the tail {k, k+1, …}.
In-measure approximation by initial cylinders #
The events depending on only finitely many vertices form a ring of sets.
The Borel σ-algebra is generated by the finite-vertex events.
In-measure approximation by initial cylinders: every Borel event s is
approximated in M.law-measure, to within any ε > 0, by an event t depending on only
the first k vertices for some k. The initial cylinders form a set-ring generating the
Borel σ-algebra, so exists_measure_symmDiff_lt_of_generateFrom_isSetRing applies.
Fixed-fiber ergodicity: invariant events are trivial #
Every vertex-tail event is permutation-invariant: the vertex-tail σ-algebra is a sub-σ-algebra of the finite-permutation-invariant σ-algebra. A finitely supported permutation acts trivially on all sufficiently late tails.
Fixed-fiber ergodicity: under restriction independence, every finite-permutation-
invariant event has M.law-measure 0 or 1. Approximate the invariant A by an
initial cylinder B, move B to a disjoint tail block B' = relabel (swapBlock k) ⁻¹' B
(invariance keeps μ (A ∆ B') < ε, exchangeability keeps μ B' = μ B, independence gives
μ (B ∩ B') = μ B · μ B'); comparing A with B ∩ B' yields |a − a²| ≤ 4ε for every
ε, where a = μ.real A, so a is a fixed point of t ↦ t².
Restriction independence implies ergodicity (a link of the DJ 5.5 / #59 chain).
Ergodicity implies vertex-tail triviality: every vertex-tail event is
permutation-invariant (vertexTailAlgebra_le_invariantAlgebra).
The ergodicity links of the extremality equivalence (#59) #
Ergodicity ↔ dissociation: closing RestrictionIndependent ⟹ IsErgodic ⟹ VertexTailTrivial against the #91 equivalences.
Ergodicity ↔ restriction independence.
Ergodicity ↔ vertex-tail triviality.
The ergodic-decomposition form of Diaconis–Janson Theorem 5.5 (issue 59): the
six-way extremality equivalence, adjoining ergodicity under the finite-permutation action
to the five-way tfae_extremality.
limitGraphon generates the invariant σ-algebra modulo null sets (#59) #
The empirical limit generates the invariant σ-algebra modulo null sets (issue 59):
every finite-permutation-invariant event A agrees, up to an M.law-null set, with the
limitGraphon-preimage of the classifier {x | A is conull in the fiber sampled from x}.
Via the barycenter M.law = ∫ (infiniteSampleLaw x) dP(x), in each fiber A is null or
conull (fiber ergodicity) and limitGraphon = x almost surely, so the classifier and A
have zero fiber-symmetric-difference; integrating gives M.law (A ∆ classifier) = 0.
