Mar 9, 2022 at 8:42 comment added Steve Could you perhaps clarify whether you believe that what you write is still an answer to the question? How do you want to use the discrete result if $X_L$ is arbitrary?
Jan 27, 2022 at 10:25 comment added Steve Thanks, I understand now that the characterization of conditional independence. However, I no longer understand why this immediately yields an answer to the question. It seems to me that if the variable $X_L$ that we condition on is continuous, the definition of the paper does not apply (or it leads to an empty statement for Theorem 2).
Jan 26, 2022 at 17:49 comment added Yuval Peres You are right, I corrected my answer.

Jan 24, 2022 at 9:42 comment added Steve About the result you state, I slightly doubt that the "only if" direction holds (take $J=\{1\}, K = \{2\}, L=\{3\}$, $X_1 = X_2 = -X_3$, then it seems we can destroy the conditional independence quite easily by applying a suitable function $f$). However, the "only if" direction is also required to obtain the result?
Jan 22, 2022 at 18:10 comment added Steve You are right, that seems to cover it. Is there a reference for the result you state?
