Common Randomness Generation from Sources with Infinite Polish Alphabet

We investigate the problem of common randomness (CR) generation in the basic two-party communication setting in which a sender and a receiver aim to agree on a common random variable with high probability. The terminals observe independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) samples of sources with an arbitrary distribution defined on a Polish alphabet and are allowed to communicate as little as possible over a noisy, memoryless channel. We establish single-letter upper and lower bounds on the CR capacity for the specified model. The derived bounds hold with equality except for at most countably many points where discontinuity issues might arise.
