Forward separation of graphons by homomorphism densities #
The forward half of graphon separation is the qualitative consequence of the cut-distance form of the counting lemma
|t(F, U) - t(F, W)| ≤ e(F) * δ□(U, W)
(abs_homDensity_sub_le_cutDist): graphons at cut distance zero have equal homomorphism densities
for every finite graph. Here U and W may live on different probability spaces, and no
standard-Borel, atomlessness, or common-carrier assumption is needed.
This is the easy direction of the inverse-counting/separation theorem. The converse — equality of
all homomorphism densities implies cut distance zero — is the inverse counting lemma
TauCeti.DenseGraphLimits.cutDist_eq_zero_of_forall_homDensity_eq in
TauCeti.Combinatorics.DenseGraphLimits.Separation.Inverse.
Main results #
TauCeti.DenseGraphLimits.forall_homDensity_eq_of_cutDist_eq_zero— graphons at cut distance zero have the same homomorphism densities.

Forward separation, across arbitrary carriers. If two graphons have cut distance zero, then every finite graph has the same homomorphism density in them.
This is the counting direction of graphon separation. It has no standard-Borel or atomlessness hypothesis because both the coupling counting lemma and the coupling-primary cut distance are defined on arbitrary probability carriers.
