A Continuous Paradoxical Colouring Rule Using Group Action
Abstract
Given a probability space , measure preserving transformations of , and a colour set , a colouring rule is a way to colour the space with such that the colours allowed for a point are determined by that point's location and the colours of the finitely with for all and almost all . We represent a colouring rule as a correspondence defined on with values in . A function satisfies the rule at if . A colouring rule is paradoxical if it can be satisfied in some way almost everywhere with respect to , but not in {\bf any} way that is measurable with respect to a finitely additive measure that extends the probability measure and for which the finitely many transformations remain measure preserving. We show that a colouring rule can be paradoxical when the are members of a group , the probability space and the colour set are compact sets, is convex and finite dimensional, and the colouring rule says if is the colouring function then the colour must lie ( a.e.) in for a non-empty upper-semi-continuous convex-valued correspondence defined on . We show that any colouring that approximates the correspondence by for small enough positive cannot be measurable in the same finitely additive way. Furthermore any function satisfying the colouring rule illustrates a paradox through finitely many measure preserving shifts defining injective maps from the whole space to subsets of measure summing up to less than one.
