AbstractWe show that every formula of Lω1P is equivalent to one which is a propositional combination of formulas with only one quantifier. It follows that the complete theory of a probability model is determined by the distribution of a family of random variables induced by the model. We characterize the class of distribution which can arise in such a way. We use these results together with a form of de Finetti’s theorem to prove an almost sure interpolation theorem for Lω1P.

A $q$-analogue of de Finetti's theorem is obtained in terms of a boundary problem for the $q$-Pascal graph. For $q$ a power of prime this leads to a characterisation of random spaces over the Galois field ${\Bbb F}_q$ that are invariant under the natural action of the infinite group of invertible matrices with coefficients from ${\Bbb F}_q$.

If events occur in time according to a stochastic process then, under not very restrictive conditions, each realization will appear to come from a Poisson process with its own rate provided that the events in the realization occur at effectively random times. This result is related to de Finetti's theorem on exchangeable events. Particular applications are to the Pólya process describing accidents and the pure birth process.
