The non-primitivity conjecture for random countable Boolean algebras
The non-primitivity conjecture for random countable Boolean algebras
Let be the Cantor set and let be the countable atomless Boolean algebra. Let be the set of finite binary strings, including the empty string, and let be a binary tree of non-zero elements of generating , with and . Define a measure by , , by assigning to both children of any with , and by assigning to and assigning or to with probability whenever . Non-primitivity conjecture. For the measure constructed above, is -primitive with probability . This suggests that almost all countable Boolean algebras are non-primitive, whereas most easily constructed such algebras are primitive.
