Plain-English statement
A standard Brownian motion starts at zero, has independent isotropic Gaussian increments, and has continuous sample paths almost surely.
Mathematical statement
B_0=0; disjoint increments are independent; B_t-B_s has law N(0,(t-s)I); and t maps to B_t is a.s. continuous.
Intuition
Elapsed time controls increment covariance while disjoint time intervals contribute independent noise.
Conditions
- a measurable sample space
- a real Hilbert state space
- a probability measure
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- Gaussian laws and independence are measure-relative
- continuous linear projections determine the centered isotropic vector Gaussian law
Proof route
- this is the exact source definition
- project vector increments through every StrongDual functional
- use iIndepFun for finite disjoint interval families
Lean interface notes
- projected variance is (t-s)*norm(ell)^2
- path continuity is an ae property
- the definition does not assert process existence
Read the mathematics first, then descend into Lean
You do not need to know Lean before opening this panel. The page keeps the paper-level theorem, rigorous proof obligations, exact Lean declaration, and proof dependencies as separate layers so a first-time reader can move down one layer at a time.
Proof architecture
Start with the tree when learning: prerequisites sit below the theorem and downstream results sit above it. Switch to the network when you want to understand where this declaration lives in the local formal library. Every mapped node is clickable.
Graph rule: only dependencies found by the ASTIS source scan are drawn. Missing tactic indirection is treated as an under-approximation; the site never invents an edge just to make a prettier graph.
How to read the exact Lean declaration
Read a Lean theorem left-to-right exactly as you would unpack a mathematical sentence: name → ambient types → automatically inferred structures → explicit hypotheses → conclusion → proof. Then read the proof top-to-bottom as transformations of the current goal.

by, ask what each tactic does to the mathematical goal—not only what syntax it uses.
Syntax used on this page
This glossary is filtered to syntax that actually occurs in the declaration above. Open a symbol only when you meet it, rather than memorizing Lean grammar in advance.
Source voice and ASTIS voice stay separate
When Samplinglib shows a short quotation from Chewi, it is labeled as a source excerpt and linked to the canonical book page. Intuition, expanded proof steps, hidden regularity assumptions, and Lean explanations are ASTIS-authored commentary. A quotation never substitutes for a formal proof, and an ASTIS explanation is never attributed to the textbook author.

/-- A real Brownian motion relative to a specified filtration.
The last field is the condition needed for stochastic integration: the
increment after `s` is independent of the whole past sigma-algebra `F_s`.
Bare independent increments do not imply this for an arbitrary enlarged
filtration. -/
