Lemma [efr-HYFI]

Let \mathcal {C} be an extensive Markov category with countable Kolmogorov products. Let \mathsf {Borel} \to \mathcal {C} be a Markov functor which preserves countable coproducts, countable Kolmogorov products and pullbacks along coproduct inclusions. Then:

  1. For every n, the iterated sampling operator BT(A)^{\omega ^n} \to A factors over the map BT(A)^{\omega ^n} \to \bar {\Delta }(A).
  2. The composite map \coprod _n BT(A)^{\omega ^n} \to \Delta (A) is a split epimorphism, and thus the factorization is unique, giving a well-defined sampling map s_A: \Delta (A) \to A for every standard Borel space A.
  3. This sampling map is a \omega -midpoint homomorphism, in the sense that s_A(\sum _i 1/2^i \mu _i) = M_A(s_A \mu _1, s_A \mu _2, \dots ).
  4. These maps assemble into a functor \mathsf {Borel}_{\bar {\Delta }} \to \mathcal {C} which extends the unique \mathsf {Borel} \to \mathcal {C}.
