Abstract: We investigate the following questions: Given a measure

m u_{L} a m b d a

on configurations on a subset

L a m b d a

of a lattice

m a t h b b L

, where a configuration is an element of

O m e g a^{L} a m b d a

for some fixed set

O m e g a

, does there exist a measure

m u

on configurations on all of

m a t h b b L

, invariant under some specified symmetry group of

m a t h b b L

, such that

m u_{L} a m b d a

is its marginal on configurations on

L a m b d a

? When the answer is yes, what are the properties, e.g., the entropies, of such measures? Our primary focus is the case in which

m a t h b b L = m a t h b b Z^{d}

and the symmetries are the translations. For the case in which

L a m b d a

is an interval in

m a t h b b Z

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

m a t h b b L

is the Bethe lattice. On

m a t h b b Z

we also consider extensions supported on periodic configurations, which are analyzed using de~Bruijn graphs and which include the extensions with minimal entropy. When

L a m b d a s u b s e t m a t h b b Z

is not an interval, or when

L a m b d a s u b s e t m a t h b b Z^{d}

with

d > 1

, the LTI condition is necessary but not sufficient for extendibility. For

m a t h b b Z^{d}

with

d > 1

, extendibility is in some sense undecidable.
