@[reducible]

The germ ฯƒ-algebra at 0 of a filtration ๐“• indexed by NNReal, defined as the intersection โ‹‚_{t > 0} ๐“•_t. For Brownian motion this is the ๐“•_0^+ ฯƒ-algebra of events observable "immediately after" time 0; Blumenthal's 0-1 law states that every such event has probability 0 or 1.

    Definitional unfolding: germSigmaAlgebraZero ๐“• equals the indexed infimum โจ… t > 0, ๐“• t.

    An abstract specification of a Brownian motion B : NNReal โ†’ ฮฉ โ†’ E started at x โˆˆ E, adapted to a filtration ๐“• on (ฮฉ, m, ฮผ). The fields require that ฮผ is a probability measure, B 0 = x almost surely, B is adapted, increments B_t - B_s are independent of ๐“•_s for s < t, each increment has some law on E (the Gaussian distribution in the standard case), and the sample paths t โ†ฆ B_t ฯ‰ are continuous for a.e. ฯ‰.

      germSigmaAlgebraZero ๐“• โ‰ค โ†‘๐“• t

      For any strictly positive time t, the germ ฯƒ-algebra at 0 is contained in ๐“• t, since ๐“• t appears as one of the terms in the infimum โจ… s > 0, ๐“• s.

      Indep (โ†‘๐“• s) (germSigmaAlgebraZero ๐“•) ฮผ

      For Brownian motion, every component ๐“• s of the filtration (with s > 0) is independent of the germ ฯƒ-algebra at 0. This is a Markov-property consequence of the independent-increments property and is the main ingredient in the proof of Blumenthal's 0-1 law.

      IndepSet A A ฮผ

      Any event A in the germ ฯƒ-algebra at 0 is independent of itself under ฮผ. This is the key intermediate step in the proof of Blumenthal's 0-1 law: since germSigmaAlgebraZero ๐“• โ‰ค ๐“• 1 and ๐“• 1 is independent of the germ ฯƒ-algebra (by markov_germ_indep_filtration_at), the germ ฯƒ-algebra is independent of itself, which forces ฮผ(A) โˆˆ {0, 1}.

      Blumenthal's 0-1 law. If B is a Brownian motion started at x with filtration ๐“•, then every event A in the germ ฯƒ-algebra ๐“•_0^+ = โ‹‚_{t > 0} ๐“•_t has ฮผ(A) โˆˆ {0, 1} (Durrett, Lecture 36). Proof: by germ_sigma_indep_self, A is independent of itself, so ฮผ(A) = ฮผ(A)ยฒ.
