How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The raw natural Brownian filtration need not be right-continuous

Statement refuted

The statement "the raw natural filtration (Ft0) of a Brownian motion is right-continuous at t=0, that is F0+0=F00" is false. On the canonical continuous realization the event A:={the path vanishes on [0,1/m] for some m1} lies in F0+0 but not in F00.

Counterexample

Given: AC, the canonical continuous realization Ω=C([0,),R) with Wiener measure W Wiener measure on continuous path space and coordinate process π, a standard Brownian motion with continuous paths Brownian motion, with raw natural filtration Ft0=σ(πs:0st).

Proof technique: direct.

1.1

Define A:=m1s[0,1/m]{πs=0}=m1qQ[0,1/m]{πq=0}, the second description using continuity of every path; thus A is measurable and nonempty, since the zero path belongs to it, while the path ss does not.

given
2.1

For every t>0 one has AFt0: choose m with 1/m<t; then qQ[0,1/m]{πq=0}F1/m0Ft0, and the union over m lies in Ft0. Hence AF0+0=t>0Ft0 The Brownian germ sigma-algebra at zero.

step 1.1
2.2

AF00=σ(π0): the zero path is in A and the path ss is not, while both have π0=0, so membership in A is not determined by π0.

step 1.1
2.3

W(A)=0: A is contained in m1{π1/(2m)=0}, and each of those events has probability zero because the law of π1/(2m) has the strictly positive density p1/(2m)(0,) and is therefore atomless The Brownian kernels form a semigroup Standard normal and normal laws; countable subadditivity gives the claim Basic identities for a probability measure.

step 1.1
3.1

Combining steps 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, AF0+0F00, so the raw natural filtration is not right-continuous at time zero; its usual augmentation contains A as a null event and is right-continuous by construction Natural and usual augmented Brownian filtrations. The witness is nonempty and of probability zero, so it is invisible to any probability computation alone. AC is used only through the ambient Brownian and Wiener interfaces.

52 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
