Joint independence of a unit-separated family of local sigma-fields #
The unit-range assumption is a statement about two Borel sets at sup-distance at least one. The finite-range averaging lemma needs the joint independence of a whole finite family, and derives it by the grouping argument printed there: enumerate the family, observe that the union of the cells already treated stays at sup-distance at least one from the next cell, that the sigma-field of that union dominates the sigma-fields of its members, and induct.
Both ingredients are elementary here. Sup-separation from a fixed set is
inherited by any union of separated sets, because the separation is a pointwise
condition. And the sigma-field F(U) is generated by the linear statistics
with test support inside U, so it grows with U; the intersection of finitely
many sets, each measurable for the sigma-field of its own cell, is therefore
measurable for the sigma-field of the union. No partition of unity is needed:
the printed proof uses one to obtain the equality of the sigma-field of the
union with the join, whereas the induction consumes only the inclusion of the
join in the sigma-field of the union.
The conclusions are stated for an arbitrary index type: joint independence of the sigma-fields, and joint independence of any family of random variables each measurable for the sigma-field of its own cell. The last lemma records that locally measurable random variables are measurable for the global structure, which is what a moment inequality applied to them will ask for.
Unit separation is closed under finite unions on one side #
A set separated from each member of a finite family is separated from their union. Sup-separation is a pointwise condition, so this is immediate.
The sigma-field of a union dominates the join #
Joint independence #
A pairwise unit-separated family of local sigma-fields is jointly
independent. This is the grouping induction of
l.fixed.geometry.matrix.averaging, carried out in the dialect of unit range of
dependence: at each step the unit-range assumption separates the next
cell from the union of those already taken.
A family of locally measurable random variables over pairwise unit-separated cells is jointly independent. This is the form the moment inequalities of the finite-range averaging lemma consume.
A random variable measurable for the sigma-field of a cell is measurable for the global structure of the coefficient space.
