What is the canonical process of a measure space $(Omega, mathscr{F}, mathbb{Q})$?












1












$begingroup$


I was reading paper which referred to a canonical process within the context of a measure space $(Omega, mathscr{F}, mathbb{Q})$. The surrounding discussion was of functions $a:[t,T] rightarrow Omega$, and the canonical process was denoted $(mathbb{S}_t)^T_{t=0}$.



It may be useful to know that the term was used when defining a "martingale measure". A measure $mathbb{Q}$ was said to be a martingale measure if the canonical process is a local martingale with respect to the measure and $mathbb{S}(0) = 1$ a.s.



What could this canonical process be? Any help is appreciated.

          If ${X_s:sleq t leq T}$ is a given process on some probability space then, by Kolmpgorov's Theorem we can construct a measure $Q$ on $mathbb R ^{[t,T]}$ (with the sigma algebra generated by the projection maps) such that the random variables $Y_s:tleq sleq T$ defined by $Y_s(omega)=omega (s)$ defined on $(mathbb R ^{[t,T]},Q)$ have the same finite dimensional distributions as the given process. This new process is called the canonical process corresponding to the original process. You can also start with a probability measure $Q$ on $mathbb R ^{[t,T]}$ instead of starting with a process ${X_s:sleq t leq T}$. For example if $Q$ is the Wiener measure on $C[0,1]$ then the canonical process associated with $Q$ is deined by $Y_s(omega)=omega (s)$ for $omega in C[0,1]$ and $s in [0,1]$.

            You have started by assuming we have process X. The context in which I am working does not have this; we have only a measure space and we are defining what it means to be a martingale measure. I am not saying what you have said is wrong- this objection is just to highlight where my lack of understanding lies
