Finite-product independence conjecture for measure-preserving dynamical systems

Let F\mathcal{F} be a family of subsets of the positive integers, and let a measure-preserving dynamical system (m.d.s.) be called F\mathcal{F}-independent when it has the independence property associated with F\mathcal{F}. Given finitely many F\mathcal{F}-independent m.d.s., form their product system. Finite-product independence conjecture. For any family F\mathcal{F}, the product of finitely many F\mathcal{F}-independent m.d.s. remains F\mathcal{F}-independent. The preceding cases establish this for several important families, including weak mixing, completely positive entropy, and the families denoted by Finf\mathcal{F}_{\inf}, Fip\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{ip}}, and Fpd\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{pd}}; the assertion for an arbitrary family is left as a conjecture.
