SUMMARY

The discussion centers on whether the collection Ao, which consists of all cylinders of all ranks, qualifies as a field in the context of probability theory. A cylinder of rank n is defined as a set of sequences where the first n results correspond to a specific subset H of S^n. The user seeks clarification on whether demonstrating the closure under union and complement for elements A and B is sufficient to establish Ao as a field, or if additional properties related to sigma fields are necessary.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of probability theory and fields
  • Familiarity with cylinder sets in the context of infinite sequences
  • Knowledge of sigma fields and their properties
  • Basic concepts of set theory and unions/complements
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of fields in probability theory
  • Research the differences between fields and sigma fields
  • Examine examples of cylinder sets and their applications
  • Learn about closure properties in set theory
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, statisticians, and students studying probability theory, particularly those interested in the properties of fields and cylinder sets.

1. Show that Ao, the collection of all cylinders of all rank is a field.

A cylinder of rank n is a set of the form { w∈S^∞ : R1(w)R2(w)...Rn(w) ∈ H}
where H is a set of n-long sequences of elements of S. That is H is a subset of S^n

Example:
now think about a toss a coin question.
0(tail=fail) and 1(head = success)
here Ai is the event that ith toss is a head
A1= { w: R1(w)∈{1}}
A2= { w: R1(w)R2(w)∈{11,01}
A3= { w: R1(w)R2(w)R3(w)∈{111,101,011,001}
.
.
.so all the Ai are cylinder sets.

Now my question is let Ao be the collection of all cylinders of all rank, then is Ao a field ?

You're not likely to get a reply other than this one if you don't show some attempt at your problem.
 
I changed my question with more details.
I think to show this collection is a field, I have to show the complements of each elements is again in this set and the union of each element is also in this set. But I think this properties are for sigma field. Are they valid also for field ?

Or to show just that

A and B be two elements of this set then I have to show that A union B is also in this set and
when A is an element of this set its complement is also in this set

is enough for field ?
