Abstract

Let L0L^0 be the algebra of equivalence classes of real valued random variables on a given probability space, and (L0)n(L^0)^n the nn-ary Cartesian power of L0L^0 for each integer n2n\geq 2. We consider (L0)n(L^0)^n as a free module over L0L^0 and study affine geometry in (L0)n(L^0)^n. One of our main results states that: an injective mapping T:(L0)n(L0)nT: (L^0)^n\to (L^0)^n which is local and maps each L0L^0-line onto an L0L^0-line must be an L0L^0-affine linear mapping. The other main result states that: a bijective mapping T:(L0)n(L0)nT: (L^0)^n\to (L^0)^n which is local and maps each L0L^0-line segment onto an L0L^0-line segment must be an L0L^0-affine linear mapping. These results extend the fundamental theorem of affine geometry from Rn\mathbb R^n to (L0)n(L^0)^n.
