Measurable events indexed by words
Abstract
For every integer let be the set of all words over , that is, all finite sequences having values in . A Carlson-Simpson tree of of dimension is a subset of of the form where is a word over and is a finite sequence of left variable words over . We study the behavior of a family of measurable events in a probability space indexed by the elements of a Carlson-Simpson tree of sufficiently large dimension. Specifically we show the following. For every integer , every and every integer there exists a strictly positive constant with the following property. If is a given positive integer, then there exists an integer such that for every Carlson--Simpson tree of of dimension at least and every family of measurable events in a probability space satisfying for every , there exists a Carlson--Simpson tree of dimension with and such that for every nonempty we have The proof is based, among others, on the density version of the Carlson--Simpson Theorem established recently by the authors, as well as, on a partition result -- of independent interest -- closely related to the work of T. J. Carlson, and H. Furstenberg and Y. Katznelson. The argument is effective and yields explicit lower bounds for the constants .
