Marginals, measurable modifications of stochastic processes, and the product lifting problem

This paper deals with the problem of measurable lifting modification for stochastic processes in its most general form and with the 'product lifting problem'. Solutions to the positive are reduced to the existence of marginals with respect to product probability spaces between the ordinary product and the product whose probability measure is the restriction of the skew product of the factor probabilities to the $σ$-algebra obtained by adjoing either the right or left nil-null sets to the ordinary product algebra. We discuss the problem of the existence of (strong) marginals.

Fission studies with 140 MeV $\bmα$-Particles

Binary fission induced by 140 MeV $α$-particles has been measured for $^{\rm nat}$Ag, $^{139}$La, $^{165}$Ho and $^{197}$Au targets. The measured quantities are the total kinetic energies, fragment masses, and fission cross sections. The results are compared with other data and systematics. A minimum of the fission probability in the vicinity $Z^2/A=24$ is observed.

Splitting of liftings in products of probability spaces

We prove that if (X,\mathfrakA,P) is an arbitrary probability space with countably generated σ-algebra \mathfrakA, (Y,\mathfrakB,Q) is an arbitrary complete probability space with a lifting ρand \hat R is a complete probability measure on \mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB determined by a regular conditional probability {S_y:y\in Y} on \mathfrakA with respect to \mathfrakB, then there exist a lifting πon (X\times Y,\mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB,\hat R) and liftings σ_y on (X,\hat \mathfrakA_y,\hat S_y), y\in Y, such that, for every E\in\mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB and every y\in Y, [π(E)]^y=σ_y\bigl([π(E)]^y\bigr). Assuming the absolute continuity of R with respect to P\otimes Q, we prove the existence of a regular conditional probability {T_y:y\in Y} and liftings \varpi on (X\times Y,\mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB,\hat R), ρ' on (Y,\mathfrakB,\hat Q) and σ_y on (X,\hat \mathfrakA_y,\hat S_y), y\in Y, such that, for every E\in\mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB and every y\in Y, [\varpi(E)]^y=σ_y\bigl([\varpi(E)]^y\bigr) and \varpi(A\times B)=\bigcup_{y\inρ'(B)}σ_y(A)\times{y}\qquadif A\times B\in\mathfrakA\times\mathfrakB. Both results are generalizations of Musiał, Strauss and Macheras [Fund. Math. 166 (2000) 281-303] to the case of measures which are not necessarily products of marginal measures. We prove also that liftings obtained in this paper always convert \hat R-measurable stochastic processes into their \hat R-measurable modifications.
