Intersecting sets in probability spaces and Shelah's classification
Abstract
For and , given a sufficiently long sequence of events in a probability space all of measure at least , some of them will have a common intersection. A more subtle pattern: for any , we cannot find events and so that and for all , assuming is sufficiently large. This is closely connected to model-theoretic stability of probability algebras. We survey some results from our recent work on more complicated patterns that arise when our events are indexed by multiple indices. In particular, how such results are connected to higher arity generalizations of de Finetti's theorem in probability, structural Ramsey theory, hypergraph regularity in combinatorics, and model theory.
