The universal property of Baire measurable spaces
The universal property of Baire measurable spaces
Let be the category of Baire measurable spaces, and let be its associated Markov category of kernels. A Markov functor is understood to preserve the relevant monoidal and probabilistic structure; a coinflip Markov category is a Markov category equipped with the specified coinflip structure. Baire measurable spaces conjecture. The inclusion
is the initial Markov functor from into a coinflip Markov category which preserves countable coproducts, pullbacks along coproduct inclusions, and all Kolmogorov products. This would extend the universal-property result for standard Borel spaces to Baire measurable spaces, whose associated stochastic category admits all small Kolmogorov products; establishing the claimed initiality is left as further work.
