Krieger's finite generator theorem — headline assembly (Krieger M3) #
This file states and proves the headline assembly of Krieger's finite generator theorem
(issue #15), reducing it to the upstream Rokhlin-tower / name-count coding construction through the
recovery core of Oseledets.Krieger.Coding.
The theorem #
Let e : α ≃ᵐ α be an ergodic, aperiodic, measure-preserving automorphism of a standard-Borel
probability space (α, μ), with finite Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy h. If k : ℕ satisfies
Real.log k > h, then e admits a finite two-sided generator of size ≤ k: a partition
P : MeasurePartition μ (Fin k) that is IsGeneratingTwoSidedMod0 (generates mod 0).
The proof has three layers, of which this file is the top:
- M1 (Rokhlin tower). A tower of height
Nover a baseBcovers all butε. - M2 (name count).
(1 / N) · info ≤ ha.e., so the number of distinctN-names of a fixed generatorQalong the tower columns is≤ kᴺup toεwheneverlog k > h. - M3 (coding + recovery, this development). The combinatorics of M1+M2 build a
Fin k-valued partitionPthat codes a (two-sided) generatorQmod 0 — i.e. the two-sidedP-itinerary recovers eachQ-cell up to a μ-null set (Oseledets.Krieger.CodesTwoSidedMod0). The recovery core (Oseledets.Krieger.IsGeneratingTwoSidedMod0.of_codes) then promotesPto a two-sided generator mod 0.
Why mod 0 #
Generators in ergodic theory always generate the σ-algebra up to null sets (mod 0): the Krieger
construction produces an a.e.-defined, a.e.-invertible code, which recovers each generator cell
only modulo a μ-null set. Against an honest standard-Borel (non-μ-complete) mα this cannot
establish a literal σ-algebra equality, so the headline is — faithfully — phrased with the mod-0
conditions IsGeneratingTwoSidedMod0 / CodesTwoSidedMod0 (the μ-completion of the two-sided
saturation is the full ambient). See Oseledets.Krieger.Coding for the mod-0 development and
Oseledets.Krieger.isGeneratingTwoSidedMod0_of_literal for faithfulness (literal ⟹ mod 0).
What is proved here, and what is supplied #
The recovery half — that a mod-0 code of a mod-0 two-sided generator is a mod-0 two-sided
generator — is proved unconditionally in Oseledets.Krieger.Coding and is wired in here. The
coding-existence half — that log k > h (plus ergodicity, aperiodicity, the Rokhlin tower and
the name count) yields a Fin k-valued mod-0 code of a two-sided generator — is the genuine
combinatorial crux of Krieger's theorem; it is consumed here through the named hypothesis
KriegerCodingData (the existence of the coded partition), exactly the object the M1+M2 layers
produce. Both packaged forms are provided:
krieger_finite_generator_of_coding: the clean assembly — given aKriegerCodingData, exhibit the finite mod-0 two-sided generator. Fully proved, unconditionally.krieger_finite_generator: the faithful headline carrying all of Krieger's hypotheses (ergodicity, aperiodicity, measure preservation, the entropy thresholdReal.log k > h) together with the coding-existence hypothesis; it specializes the assembly. The entropy threshold and the dynamical hypotheses are the inputs the upstream coding construction consumes to produce theKriegerCodingData; here they are carried so the statement matches Krieger's theorem and so the orchestrator can discharge the coding hypothesis by wiring M1+M2.
Main definitions #

A.e.-aperiodicity of the automorphism e. For every nonzero integer n, the set of
n-periodic points {x | eⁿ x = x} is μ-null. Equivalently: μ-a.e. point has trivial
stabiliser under the ℤ-action n ↦ eⁿ. This is the standard measure-theoretic aperiodicity
hypothesis under which Rokhlin's lemma (the M1 tower) holds; for an ergodic automorphism of a
non-atomic probability space it is automatic, but it is kept explicit here as the hypothesis the
tower construction consumes.

The coding data produced by the Krieger combinatorics (M1 + M2). Bundles the
measure-preservation of e, a countable index type κ with a family of cells Q that
two-sidedly generates (α, e, μ) mod 0 (Oseledets.Krieger.IsGeneratingTwoSidedMod0c, the
Countable-layer condition), together with a Fin k-valued partition P that codes the
countable Q two-sidedly mod 0 across the two layers (the two-sided P-itinerary recovers each
Q-cell up to a μ-null set, Oseledets.Krieger.CodesTwoSidedMod0c).
This is exactly the object the unconditional Krieger construction yields when Real.log k > h: Q
is the countable finite-entropy two-sided generator produced by the Keane–Serafin / Downarowicz
half (Oseledets.Krieger.exists_countable_twoSided_generator, sub-problem A), and P is the
column-coding Fin k partition built from the ≤ kᴺ name bound (sub-problem B), which recovers the
countable Q-name only a.e. The two saturation layers — the Countable layer of Generator.lean
for Q and the Fintype layer of Coding.lean for P — are bridged by CodesTwoSidedMod0c. The
headline turns a KriegerCodingData into a finite mod-0 two-sided generator by the cross-layer
recovery Oseledets.Krieger.IsGeneratingTwoSidedMod0c.of_codesc. The measure-preservation mp is
carried because that recovery needs it: preimage under the iterates eⁿ must commute with the
μ-completion.

The recovery assembly of Krieger's theorem. Given coding data D — a Fin k-valued
partition D.code that two-sidedly codes, mod 0, the countable mod-0 two-sided generator
D.gen — the coding partition itself is a finite mod-0 two-sided generator. This is the
unconditional top layer: it is exactly the cross-layer recovery
Oseledets.Krieger.CodesTwoSidedMod0c.isGeneratingTwoSidedMod0 applied to D, repackaged as an
existence statement (bridging the Countable generator layer to the Fintype coding layer).
No entropy, ergodicity, or aperiodicity hypotheses enter here: those are consumed upstream, in
producing the coding data D. This lemma is the pure recovery content of Krieger's theorem.
Krieger's finite generator theorem (headline assembly).
Let e : α ≃ᵐ α be an ergodic, aperiodic, measure-preserving automorphism of a standard-Borel
probability space (α, μ) with Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy h := (ksEntropy he).toReal. If
k : ℕ satisfies Real.log k > h, and the Krieger coding construction supplies a Fin k-valued
mod-0 code of a mod-0 two-sided generator (KriegerCodingData e μ k), then e admits a finite
two-sided generator of size ≤ k, mod 0: a partition P : MeasurePartition μ (Fin k) with
IsGeneratingTwoSidedMod0 e P (the μ-completion of its two-sided saturation is the full ambient
σ-algebra). The mod-0 conclusion is the standard, faithful form of Krieger's theorem: ergodic-theory
generators generate up to null sets (see Oseledets.Krieger.Coding).
The dynamical hypotheses (herg, hap, he) and the entropy threshold hk : Real.log k > h are
precisely the inputs the upstream M1 (Rokhlin tower) and M2 (name count) layers consume to produce
the coding data hcode; carried here, they make the statement faithful to Krieger's theorem while
the assembly itself reduces to the unconditional recovery
krieger_finite_generator_of_coding. (When M1+M2 are wired in, hcode is discharged from
herg, hap, he, and hk, yielding the unconditional theorem.)
