independent measurable partitions, of a space with a normalized measure

Two measurable partitions and such that if and are Boolean -algebras of measurable sets consisting entirely of elements of and , respectively, then the elements of one of them are independent of the elements of the other in the sense of probability theory: for , . Under these conditions, if a measurable partition that is a refinement of both and coincides with the partition into single points, then and are said to be independent complements of one another. Conditions are known for a measurable partition of a Lebesgue space to have an independent complement.
