A zero-one law for linear transformations of Levy noise
Abstract
A L\'evy noise on assigns a random real "mass" to each Borel subset of with finite Lebesgue measure. The distribution of only depends on the Lebesgue measure of , and if is a finite collection of pairwise disjoint sets, then the random variables are independent with almost surely. In particular, the distribution of is the same as that of when is a bijective transformation of that preserves Lebesgue measure. It follows from the Hewitt--Savage zero--one law that any event which is almost surely invariant under the mappings for every Lebesgue measure preserving bijection of must have probability 0 or 1. We investigate whether certain smaller groups of Lebesgue measure preserving bijections also possess this property. We show that if , the L\'evy noise is not purely deterministic, and the group consists of linear transformations and is closed, then the invariant events all have probability 0 or 1 if and only if the group is not compact.
