Linear rigidity of stationary stochastic processes

Abstract

We consider stationary stochastic processes $\{X_{n}:n\in \mathbb{Z}\}$ such that $X_{0}$ lies in the closed linear span of $\{X_{n}:n\neq 0\}$; following Ghosh and Peres, we call such processes linearly rigid. Using a criterion of Kolmogorov, we show that it suffices, for a stationary stochastic process to be linearly rigid, that the spectral density vanishes at zero and belongs to the Zygmund class $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}_{\ast }(1)$. We next give a sufficient condition for stationary determinantal point processes on $\mathbb{Z}$ and on $\mathbb{R}$ to be linearly rigid. Finally, we show that the determinantal point process on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ induced by a tensor square of Dyson sine kernels is not linearly rigid.
