Relative complexity of random walks in random sceneries (Q693714): Difference between revisions

Let \({(X, \mathcal{B}, m, T)}\) be a probability preserving transformation and \(P\) be a \(T\)-generator. For \({n\geq1,\;\varepsilon>0}\) and a \(T\)-invariant sub-\(\sigma\)-algebra \(\mathcal{C}\subseteq\mathcal{B}\), the author define the following random variable \[ K_{\mathcal{C}}(P, n, \varepsilon):=\min\left\{\#F:\, F\subset X,\, m\left(\bigcup\limits_{z\in F}B(n, P, z, \varepsilon)\,||\,\mathcal{C}\right)>1-\varepsilon\right\}, \] where \[ {B(n, P, z, \varepsilon)=\bigcup_{a\in P_n:\, \overline{d}^{(P)}_n(a, P_n(z))\leq\varepsilon}a},\;P_n(z) \] is defined by \[ z\in P_n(z)\in {P_n=\bigvee_{j=0}^{n-1}T^{-j}P},\;\overline{d}^{(P)}_n \] is a Hamming metric on \(P_n,\) and \(m(\cdot||\,\mathcal{C})\) denotes conditional measure with respect to \(\mathcal{C}.\) Such a family of random variables is called the ``relative complexity'of \(T\) with respect to \(P\) given \(\mathcal{C}\)''. At the beginning of paper the author develop the theory of relative complexity also including such notions as ``\(\mathcal{C}\)-complexity sequence'' and ``relative entropy dimentions''. These notions are relativized versions of those in [\textit{S. Ferenczi}, Isr. J. Math. 100, 189--207 (1997; Zbl 1095.28510); \textit{A. Katok} and \textit{J.-P. Thouvenot}, Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Probab. Stat. 33, No. 3, 323--338 (1997; Zbl 0884.60009); \textit{S. Ferenczi} and \textit{K. K. Park}, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 17, No. 1, 133--141 (2007; Zbl 1128.37004)]. In the second part of paper, the author applies this theory to a concrete probability preserving transformation which is an \(\alpha\)-stable (\(\alpha\in (1,2]\)) random walk on ergodic random scenery. In particular, it is obtained invariants for relative isomorphism of these.
