Comment/Description

Welcome to the course Stochastic Processes!
This is a core module in probability theory.

The course presents some elements of the mathematical foundation for continuous-time stochastic processes. Central topic in this course is the theory of Feller Processes. A major theme is the Hille-Yoshida theory, which provides a correspondence between Feller Processes, semigroups and a class of linear operators (the "generators" of the processes). We will prove this correspondence, and subsequently show how properties of the operators translate into properties of the processes and vice versa. We then focus on specific examples of Feller processes that are of great importance in probability theory: Brownian motion, Lévy processes, continuous-time Markov chains and interacting particle systems.
