Random pure sets
Abstract
We study from a statistical mechanics viewpoint some of the simplest mathematical objects, finite pure sets. Starting from the empty set, new generations are produced step by step, sets of the next generation being those whose elements are the sets of the current generation. We compute in particular correlations and limiting laws for chains of various lengths for the membership relation when the number of generations becomes large.
