TauCeti.Probability.Kernel.ProbabilityMeasure

Markov kernels, bundled fibrewise #

IsMarkovKernel κ says exactly that every fibre of κ : Kernel β Ω is a probability measure. Consumers that want a random probability measure — a β → ProbabilityMeasure Ω, the shape predicates like MixedIIDWith and ConditionallyIIDWith take as their witness — must pair each fibre with that instance by hand. Kernel.probabilityMeasure does it once.

The bundling is canonical: there is no choice to make, and correspondingly no probability-measure lemma here, since the type already carries it.

Main results #

Stated for an arbitrary Markov kernel rather than for any particular construction. The regular conditional distribution ProbabilityTheory.condDistrib is one instance; conditioning on a sub-σ-algebra is that instance with the conditioning map id, which is how the de Finetti directing measures arise.

A Markov kernel with each fibre bundled as a ProbabilityMeasure.

Note this lives in TauCeti.Probability.Kernel, not Mathlib's ProbabilityTheory.Kernel, so it is spelled Kernel.probabilityMeasure κ rather than by dot notation on κ.

    The underlying measure of a bundled fibre is the kernel's fibre.

    This is the abstraction boundary: importing modules should reason through this lemma rather than unfold Kernel.probabilityMeasure, which is why the definition is not @[expose].

    The bundled kernel is measurable into ProbabilityMeasure Ω.

    The tautological Markov kernel. It sends each bundled probability measure to its underlying measure on α, so the fibre at P is P itself.
