Predictive Sets

Abstract: A set $P\subset \mathbb N$ is called predictive if for any zero entropy finite-valued stationary process $(X_i){i\in \mathbb Z}$, $X_0$ is measurable with respect to $(X_i){i\in P}$. We know that $\mathbb N$ is a predictive set. In this paper we give sufficient conditions and necessary ones for a set to be predictive. We also discuss linear predictivity, predictivity among Gaussian processes and relate these to Riesz sets which arise in harmonic analysis.
