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 of a Brownian motion is right-continuous at , that is " is false. On the canonical continuous realization the event lies in but not in .
Counterexample
Given: AC, the canonical continuous realization with Wiener measure Wiener measure on continuous path space and coordinate process , a standard Brownian motion with continuous paths Brownian motion, with raw natural filtration .
Proof technique: direct.
Define , the second description using continuity of every path; thus is measurable and nonempty, since the zero path belongs to it, while the path does not.
For every one has : choose with ; then , and the union over lies in . Hence The Brownian germ sigma-algebra at zero.
: the zero path is in and the path is not, while both have , so membership in is not determined by .
: is contained in , and each of those events has probability zero because the law of has the strictly positive density 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.
Combining steps 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, , so the raw natural filtration is not right-continuous at time zero; its usual augmentation contains 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.

Dependency tree · two levels
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.
