This book is about random objects-sequences, processes, arrays, measures, functionals-with interesting symmetry properties. Here symmetry should beunderstoodinthebroadsenseofinvarianceunderafamily(notnecessarily a group) of measurable transformations. To be precise, it is not the random objects themselves but rather their distributions that are assumed to be symmetric. Though many probabilistic symmetries are conceivable and have been considered in various contexts, four of them-stationarity, contractability, exchangeability, and rotatability-stand out as especially interesting and - portant in several ways: Their study leads to some deep structural theorems of great beauty and signi?cance, they are intimately related to some basic areasofmodernprobabilitytheory, andtheyaremutuallyconnectedthrough a variety of basic relationships.

Reviews for Probabilistic Symmetries and Invariance Principles
From the reviews of the first edition: "The starting point of this book … is de Finetti’s famous theorem characterizing sequences of exchangeable random variables as mixtures of i.i.d. random variables. … The monograph provides a tight approach to this subject based on modern mathematical tools … and presents de Finetti’s theorem in a new ...
