Gaussian processes, sample paths and associated Hilbert space.

No, it is not true for simple examples such as standard Brownian motion or a sequence of independent random variables. Suppose $W$ is a standard Brownian motion on the interval $[0,T]$. The covarian …

Can an operator have Exp(z) as its characteristic "polynomial"?

Here's a proof that $\exp(z)$ is not a characteristic function using the product expansion for the determinant, which is essentially equivalent to Lidskii's theorem stating that the trace of a trace c …

Does there exist an event independent of a given sigma-algebra?

No. If the probability space contains atoms then you can easily construct sub-$\sigma$-algebras which are not independent to any nontrivial events. However, we can still construct examples, even for …
