1. Stochastic processes - basic definitions. Processes with independent increments. Brownian motion and Poisson process, properties of their trajectories. Non-differentiability of trajectories of Brownian motion. Construction of the Brownian motion using the Haar functions, construction of the Poisson process.
2. Elements of the general theory of processes: finite-dimensional distributions, information about the consistency conditions and the theorem about the existence of a process (without proof). Checking the consistency conditions for selected processes.
3. Kolmogorov's theorem on the existence of a continuous modification of a process.
4. Markov processes - basic definitions. Markov property of the Brownian motion. Strong Markov property for Brownian motion. The reflection principle and the distribution of a supremum of a Brownian motion.
5. Gaussian processes. Properties of the covariance function. Brownian motion as a Gaussian process. Fractional Brownian motion. The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
6. Stopping times, filtrations. Uniform integrability - as needed.
7. Martingales with a continuous time, theorems: Doob optional sampling theorem, Doob's inequality, theorem on convergence.
8. Martingales related to Brownian motion, exit times from the sphere / times to enter the sphere, recurrence and transcience.
