| Abstract: | I will describe some work related to the following type of question: Given the probability distribution of particle configurations in some finite region of space, when can this be extended to a translation invariant measure on all of space? When the answer is yes what are the properties, e.g. the entropy, of such extended measures. There are similar questions about the extension of density matrices for quantum systems. |
