Exchangeable measures for subshifts

Abstract

Let \Om\Om be a Borel subset of SNS^\Bbb N where SS is countable. A measure is called exchangeable on \Om\Om, if it is supported on \Om\Om and is invariant under every Borel automorphism of \Om\Om which permutes at most finitely many coordinates. De-Finetti's theorem characterizes these measures when \Om=SN\Om=S^\Bbb N. We apply the ergodic theory of equivalence relations to study the case \OmSN\Om\neq S^\Bbb N, and obtain versions of this theorem when \Om\Om is a countable state Markov shift, and when \Om\Om is the collection of beta expansions of real numbers in [0,1][0,1] (a non-Markovian constraint).
