Best introduction to probability spaces, convergence, spectral analysis
Try "Measure, integral and probability", too. It doesn't cover all the topics you mentioned, but you should be able to work through it quite quickly, and it will establish a good base to build on.

Hitchhiker's guide is considerably more technical than Williams. It's very complete, but there's a danger of information overload there.

Jacod and Protter's book is a reasonably friendly introduction, and doesn't require any background beyond multivariable calculus. As camomille said, you're looking at a couple of months of work to take all this stuff on board.

Time integrals of diffusion processes
None of the references were as systematic as I would have liked, but I largely stopped pursuing this line of inquiry when you pointed out that the laws of the integrated processes are still singular.

What structure is needed to define a Gaussian distribution on a given space?
Thanks for your answer Tom. I don't have much intuition about Banach spaces and their duals. Is that a restrictive assumption? Can one always find such a measure $\mathbb{P}$?

What structure is needed to define a Gaussian distribution on a given space?
Perhaps "in most textbooks" was a little strong. Some books do start with a non-negative definite matrix $\Sigma$ and then specify the density function. I expect this construction is much more common in applied maths. I've checked two textbooks I had to hand - one engineering text and one on machine learning. They both construct the mutlivariate normal in this way.

Yes, that's more or less equivalent to constructing a Brownian motion on the space. You need some generalisation of the Laplace operator.

Thanks for your comment. The construction in Nualart that you mentioned is for a set of one-dimensional Gaussians indexed by a Hilbert space. I'm really looking for analogues of the normal distribution that take values in a space $S$.

Gaussian processes, sample paths and associated Hilbert space.
I guess you need $T$ to be seperable, right? Otherwise you can't define a process by specifying its finite dimenstional distributions.

Most intricate and most beautiful structures in mathematics
Maud: "Fearless Symmetry" by Ash and Gross is a non-technical introduction to the subject.

Configuration space of little disks inside a big disk
Persi Diaconis mentioned a similar problem viewed from a slightly different perspective in his paper "The Markov chain Monte-Carlo revolution"

Reference request for manifold learning
Partha Niyogi wrote a number of papers about using the graph laplacian of a data set for learning purposes. In the limit of infinite data living on a manifold, this converges to the Laplace-Beltrami operator.
