Abstract

The classical de Finetti Theorem classifies the Sym(N)\mathrm{Sym}(\mathbb N)-invariant probability measures on [0,1]N[0,1]^{\mathbb N}. More precisely it states that those invariant measures are combinations of measures of the form νN\nu^{\otimes\mathbb N} where ν\nu is a measure on [0,1][0,1]. Recently, Jahel--Tsankov generalized this theorem showing that under conditions on MM, the group Aut(M)\operatorname{Aut}(M) is de Finetti, i.e. Aut(M)\operatorname{Aut}(M)-invariant measures on [0,1]M[0,1]^M are mixtures of measures of the form νM\nu^{\otimes M} where ν\nu is a measure on [0,1][0,1]. In this note, we give an example of a non-de Finetti non-Archimedean group.
