Stationary processes whose filtrations are standard

Abstract

We study the standard property of the natural filtration associated to a 0--1 valued stationary process. In our main result we show that if the process has summable memory decay, then the associated filtration is standard. We prove it by coupling techniques. For a process whose associated filtration is standard, we construct a product type filtration extending it, based upon the usual couplings and the Vershik's criterion for standardness.
