On a probability space carrying an infinite IID sequence with law , map to . Its pushforward measure satisfiesfor every cylinder set. Cylinder sets form a pi-system generating , so the sigma-finite uniqueness theorem for measures proves uniqueness. This is the countable product measure .
For a cylinder ,The same generating-class argument extends this equality to every measurable set, so is a measure-preserving transformation.
If , then for every , so membership in is independent of the first coordinates. Thus belongs to the tail sigma-algebra. The zero-one law gives , proving that the shift is ergodic.
