Abstract: The Box-Ball System (BBS) is a one-dimensional cellular automaton in introduced by Takahashi and Satsuma cite{TS}, who also identified conserved sequences called emph{solitons}. Integers are called boxes and a ball configuration indicates the boxes occupied by balls. For each integer kge1, a k-soliton consists of k boxes occupied by balls and k empty boxes (not necessarily consecutive). Ferrari, Nguyen, Rolla and Wang cite{FNRW} define the k-slots of a configuration as the places where k-solitons can be inserted. Labeling the k-slots with integer numbers, they define the k-component of a configuration as the array zetak(j)jinmathbbZ of elements of giving the number zetak(j) of k-solitons appended to k-slot jinmathbbZ. They also show that if the Palm transform of a translation invariant distribution mu has independent soliton components, then mu is invariant for the automaton. We show that for each lambdain[0,1/2) the Palm transform of a product Bernoulli measure with parameter lambda has independent soliton components and that its k-component is a product measure of geometric random variables with parameter 1qk(lambda), an explicit function of lambda. The construction is used to describe a large family of invariant measures with independent components under the Palm transformation, including Markov measures.
