Abstract: We investigate the following questions: Given a measure muLambda on configurations on a subset Lambda of a lattice mathbbL, where a configuration is an element of OmegaLambda for some fixed set Omega, does there exist a measure mu on configurations on all of mathbbL, invariant under some specified symmetry group of mathbbL, such that muLambda is its marginal on configurations on Lambda? When the answer is yes, what are the properties, e.g., the entropies, of such measures? Our primary focus is the case in which mathbbL=mathbbZd and the symmetries are the translations. For the case in which Lambda is an interval in mathbbZ we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition, local translation invariance (LTI), for extendibility. For LTI measures we construct extensions having maximal entropy, which we show are Gibbs measures; this construction extends to the case in which mathbbL is the Bethe lattice. On mathbbZ we also consider extensions supported on periodic configurations, which are analyzed using de~Bruijn graphs and which include the extensions with minimal entropy. When LambdasubsetmathbbZ is not an interval, or when LambdasubsetmathbbZd with d>1, the LTI condition is necessary but not sufficient for extendibility. For mathbbZd with d>1, extendibility is in some sense undecidable.
