Abstract
The object of study of this work is the invariant characteristics of filtrations in discrete, negative time, pioneered by Vershik. We prove the equivalence between I-cosiness and standardness without using Vershik’s standardness criterion. The equivalence between I-cosiness and productness for homogeneous filtrations is further investigated by showing that the I-cosiness criterion is equivalent to Vershik’s first level criterion separately for each random variable. We also aim to derive the elementary properties of both these criteria, and to give a survey and some complements on the published and unpublished literature.
