Tree and grid factors of general point processes

Probability 2020-05-11 v1

Abstract

We study isomorphism invariant point processes of Rd\mathbb{R}^d whose groups of symmetries are almost surely trivial. We define a 1-ended, locally finite tree factor on the points of the process, that is, a mapping of the point configuration to a graph on it that is measurable and equivariant with the point process. This answers a question of Holroyd and Peres. The tree will be used to construct a factor isomorphic to Zn\Z^n. This perhaps surprising result (that any dd and nn works) solves a problem by Steve Evans. The construction, based on a connected clumping with 2i2^i vertices in each clump of the ii'th partition, can be used to define various other factors.
