Strong Markov property of i.i.d. sequences

DefinitionPost-stopping-time sequence#✓fully proved

Given maps \(X_0, X_1, X_2, \dots\) from a set \(\Omega\) to a set \(S\) and a map \(T : \Omega \to \mathbb{N}\), the post-stopping-time sequence is the sequence \((Y_k)_{k \in \mathbb{N}}\) of maps from \(\Omega\) to \(S\) given by \(Y_k(\omega) = X_{T(\omega)+k+1}(\omega)\). When \(T\) is a stopping time, this is the sequence of observations immediately after time \(T\).

TheoremStrong Markov property (independence from the past)#✓fully proved

Let \(X_0, X_1, \dots\) be measurable random variables on a probability space \((\Omega, \mu)\) with values in a measurable space \(S\), mutually independent and all with the same distribution. Let \((\mathcal F_n)_{n \ge 0}\) be a filtration with \(\mathcal F_n \subseteq \sigma(X_0, \dots, X_n)\) for every \(n\), and let \(T : \Omega \to \mathbb N\) be a stopping time for \((\mathcal F_n)\), finite everywhere. Then the stopped σ-algebra \(\mathcal F_T\) is independent of the σ-algebra generated by the post-stopping-time sequence \((X_{T+k+1})_{k \ge 0}\).
