Characterizations of Type-III Bernoulli Scheme

TL;DR
This work develops alternate, cluster-based criteria for classifying type-III Bernoulli schemes via their Radon-Nikodym cocycles, tying the ratio set to the asymptotic ratio set of the associated ITPFI factor. It introduces a cylinder-geometry approach, showing that bijections between equal-length cylinder sets suffice to determine the ratio set, and it provides a unified treatment of unbounded and bounded weight-support cases. The results express type III$_0$, III$_\lambda$, and III$_1$ classifications through cluster points of weight-ratio sequences and their multiplicative groups, linking spectral data of ITPFI factors to dynamical features of Bernoulli schemes. The paper also clarifies an alternate description of type-III Bernoulli schemes, independent of coordinate permutations, and recasts the asymptotic ratio set in terms of finite-factor decompositions and cluster structures. Overall, the findings yield practical, combinatorial criteria for identifying type-III subcases and redefine the asymptotic ratio set in the ITPFI context.
Abstract
In this paper, we will prove alternate conditions for a type-$III$ Bernoulli scheme to be of type-$III_0$, type-$III_λ$ and type-$III_1$, and then conclude an alternate definition of the asymptotic ratio set of a type-$III$ ITPFI factor.
