Aumann's agreement theorem #
This file develops information partitions and conditional probabilities needed for Aumann's agreement theorem.
We write Partition α for the type of partitions of a set α, implemented as a subtype
of Set (Set α). Mathlib already equips this subtype with the order given by refinement (such that
P ≤ Q iff P refines Q) and proves that it is a complete lattice, i.e. that arbitrary infima
and suprema of partitions exist.

Instances For
When we write s ∈ P for a partition P : Partition α, we mean that s is a Set α that is
an element of the Set (Set α) underlying P.

We call a partition of a measurable space measurable if it consists of measurable sets.
Equations
- P.Measurable = ∀ s ∈ P, MeasurableSet s
Instances For
If a countable partition is measurable, every partition it refines is measurable too. Note that the countability assumption is necessary because e.g. the partition into singletons is usually measurable but refines all other partitions, even nonmeasurable ones.
The supremum of two measurable partitions is measurable if at least one of the two partitions is countable.
Conditional probability of an event inside the atom of a partition containing a point.
Instances For
A partition with all parts of positive measure is countable.
Let P be a partition of Ω into measurable non-null sets, Q a coarser partition and
E a set such that P.probabilityAt E ω' = p for all ω' ∈ Q.class ω.
Then Q.probabilityAt E ω = p.
Let Ω be a probability measure space, P₁ and P₂ two measurable partitions representing
the information partitions of two agents, E a measurable set and ω an event. Then if it is
common knowledge at ω that E appears to have probability p₁ to the first agent and probability
p₂ to the second agent, p₁ = p₂ - that is, the two agents agree on the probability of E.
Let Ω be a probability measure space, P a family of measurable partitions representing
the information partitions of agents indexed by a type ι, E a measurable set and ω an event.
Then if it is common knowledge at ω that E appears to have probability p i to each agent i,
p i = p j for all i, j - that is, all agents agree on the probability of E.
