[edit]

In probability theory, a stochastic process is said to be continuous in probability or stochastically continuous if its distributions converge whenever the values in the index set converge. [1][2]

Definition

[edit]

Let be a stochastic process in . The process is continuous in probability when converges in probability to whenever converges to .[2]

Examples and Applications

[edit]

Feller processes are continuous in probability at . Continuity in probability is a sometimes used as one of the defining property for Lévy process[1]. Any process that is continuous in probability and has independent increments has a version that is càdlàg[2]. As a result, some authors immediately define Lévy process as being càdlàg and having independent increments[3].

Definition

[edit]

Let and be Manifolds, and let $F$ be a smooth map from to . Let be a vector field on . Then a vector field on is called F-related to if the differential of maps to

Properties

[edit]

Existence

[edit]
Give a map F and a vecotr field X, there might not be a single vectorfield in M that is F-related to X. This happens for example when F is not surjectoive, and its differnetial maps ????. If F is not injective, then two differnet vecotrs are mapped to the same point on N, shwing 

Naturality with respect to the Lie Bracket

Applications

Characterization of Tangen Submanifolds

[edit]

Relatednes of Vecotor fields can be used to define what it means for a Vector field to be tangent to a submanifold. Statement. Let S be an an immersed submanifold of M and let i be the inclusion i colon M to S. If Y is a tangent to S, there is a uniquw vector field on S that is i-related to X then the inclusion is noted Y|S

Definitino of the Pushforward

[edit]

If F is a diffeomorphism, then the Pushforward of X under F is the unique Vecotri field in N that is F-related to X. It can be defined explicitly by defining p=F^-1(q) Y_q= dF_p(X_p) Note that
