Equivalently, $\varphi^\ell = \varphi^{\ell+1} = \ldots$ for $\ell$ sufficiently large. We investigate the behavior as $n \rightarrow \infty$ of a sequence of a Markov chain on the collection of such mappings. At each step of the chain, a point in the $n$ element set is chosen uniformly at random and the current mapping is modified by replacing the current image of that point by a new one chosen independently and uniformly at random, conditional on the resulting mapping being again acyclic. We can represent an acyclic mapping as a directed graph (such a graph will be a collection of rooted trees) and think of these directed graphs as metric spaces with some extra structure. Informal calculations indicate that the metric space valued process associated with the Markov chain should, after an appropriate time and ``space'' rescaling, converge as $n \rightarrow \infty$ to a real tree ($R$-tree) valued Markov process that is reversible with respect to a measure induced naturally by the standard reflected Brownian bridge. Although we don't prove such a limit theorem, we use Dirichlet form methods to construct a Markov process that is Hunt with respect to a suitable Gromov-Hausdorff-like metric and evolves according to the dynamics suggested by the heuristic arguments. This process is similar to one that appears in earlier work by Evans and Winter as a similarly informal limit of a Markov chain related to the subtree prune and regraft tree (SPR) rearrangements from phylogenetics.}, number={0}, journal={Electronic Journal of Probability}, publisher={Institute of Mathematical Statistics}, author={Evans, Steven and Lidman, Tye}, year={2007}, pages={1051–1180} }

We define the expectation by analogy with the observation that for real-valued random variables in $L^2$ the expected value is the orthogonal projection onto the constants. Previous work has shown that the local field version of $L^\infty$ is the appropriate counterpart of $L^2$, and so the expected value of a local field-valued random variable is defined to be its ``projection'' in $L^\infty$ onto the constants.  Unlike the real case, the resulting projection is not typically a single constant, but rather a ball in the metric on the local field.  However, many properties of this expectation operation and the corresponding conditional expectation mirror those familiar from the real-valued case; for example, conditional expectation is, in a suitable sense, a contraction on $L^\infty$ and the tower property holds. We also define the corresponding notion of martingale, show that several standard examples of martingales (for example, sums or products of suitable independent random variables or ``harmonic'' functions composed with Markov chains) have local field analogues, and obtain versions of the optional sampling and martingale convergence theorems.}, number={0}, journal={Electronic Journal of Probability}, publisher={Institute of Mathematical Statistics}, author={Evans, Steven and Lidman, Tye}, year={2007}, pages={498–515} }
