The converse generation conjecture for order-invariant measures

About 17 years old · traced to

Let P=(Z,<)P=(Z,<) be a causal set, let Ω\Omega be its space of natural extensions, and let μ\mu be an order-invariant measure on the associated measurable space. An element ω=x1x2⋯∈Ω\omega=x_1x_2\cdots\in\Omega generates μ\mu if νk(⋅)(ω)\nu^k(\mathord\cdot)(\omega) converges weakly to μ\mu as k→∞k\to\infty. Generation conjecture. If μ\mu is an order-invariant measure that is generated by some ω∈Ω\omega\in\Omega, then μ\mu is extremal. Extremal order-invariant measures are known to be generated by μ\mu-almost every element of Ω\Omega; the conjecture asks whether generation by even one element forces extremality, providing the converse to the established almost-sure implication.
