                            As an application of the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem, it is possible to prove the
                            following basic existence result for Gaussian processes.
                            Proposition 1.1 Let m : R                              →RandletR:R ×R →Rbeasymmetricand
                                                                              ≥0                                    ≥0         ≥0
                            positive function. There exists a probability space (Ω,F,P) and a Gaussian process
                            (Xt)t≥0 defined on it, whose mean function is m and whose covariance function is
                            R.
                            Definition 1.2 Let H ∈ (0,1]. A continuous Gaussian process (Bt)t≥0 is called a
                            fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H if its mean function is 0 and
                            its covariance function is
                                                                                         1  2H           2H                   2H
                                                                       R(s,t) = 2 t                 +s −|t−s|
                            Wemayobserve that for H = 1, the covariance function becomes
                                                                                   2
                                                                                     R(s,t) = min(s,t).
                            As a consequence, a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H = 1 is
                                                                                                                                                                          2
                            a Brownian motion. If (Bt)t≥0 is a fractional Brownian motion with parameter H,
                            then we have
                                                                                        E(B −B )=0,

                          and

                          We can deduce from this simple computation that fractional has stationary incre-

                                                                                                      t+h        h t>0                t t≥0

                          Indeed, for c > 0, we have
                                                                           E(B B )=c2HE(BB ).
                                                                                  ct   cs                    t    s
                          Therefore, for every c > 0, the two processes (B )                                         and (cHB )               have the same

                          continuous Gaussian process that enjoys the two above properties. We let the proof
                          of the following proposition as an exercise.
                          Proposition 1.3 Let (X )                            be a continuous Gaussian process with stationary in-
                                                                     t t≥0                                                                      H

                          the same distribution. Then, there is a constant σ, such that Xt = σBt, where
                          (B )          is a fractional Brownian motion with parameter H.

                          stochastic processes, we often use the H¨older scale to quantify the regularity of the
                          paths of a process. Let γ ∈ [0,1]. A function f : [0,T] → R is said to be γ-H¨older
                          continuous if there exists a constant c ≥ 0 such that for every s,t ∈ [0,t],
                                                                            |f(t) − f(s)| ≤ c|t − s|γ.
                          The most useful tool to study the H¨older regularity of stochastic processes is cer-

                          then there exists a modification of the process (Xt)                                           that is a continuous process
                                                                                                              t∈[0,T]         ε

                          As a consequence of the Kolmogorov continuity theorem we deduce:
                          Proposition 1.5 Let (B )                            be a fractional Brownian motion with parameter H.

                          For every T > 0 and 0 < ε < H , there is a finite random variable ηε,T such that
                          for every s,t ∈ [0,T],
                                                                                                          H−ε
                                                                     |B −B |≤η |t−s|                            ,     a.s.
                                                                         t        s         ε,T
                                                                                               3
                  Proof. As seen before, we have
                                              2          2         2                         2H
                                 E((B −B ) ) = E(B )+E(B )−2E(B B )=|t−s| .
                                      t     s           t         s           t s
                  More generally, due to the stationarity of the increments and the scaling property
                  of fractional Brownian motion, we have for every k ≥ 1/H,
                                                   k              k           Hk        k
                                      E(|B −B | ) = E(|B         | ) = |t − s|   E(|B | ).
                                           t     s            t−s                     1
                  As a consequence of the Kolmogorov continuity theorem we deduce that there is
                                    ˜
                  a modification (Bt)          of the process (Bt)         that is a continuous process and
                                        t∈[0,T]                     t∈[0,T]          1           ˜
                  whose paths are γ-H¨older continuous for every γ ∈ [0,H − ). Since (Bt)                  and
                                                                                     k              t∈[0,T]
                  (B )       are both continuous, we deduce that these two processes are actually the
                     t t∈[0,T]
                  same.                                                                                      
                  As a consequence of a result in [1], if (B )       is a fractional Brownian motion with
                  parameter H, then                            t t≥0
                                                           √Bu              
                                             P limsup H              −1 = 1    =1.
                                                     u→0 u     lnlnu
                  Hence, the paths of a fractional Brownian motion are not γ-H¨older for any γ ≥ H.
                  It is sometime useful to notice that fractional Brownian motion can actually be
                  constructed from the Brownian motion by using Wiener integrals.
                  Namely, if (βt)t≥0 is a Brownian motion, then the process
                                                 B =Z tK (t,s)dβ ,t ≥ 0                                   (1.1)
                                                   t          H        s
                                                         0
                  is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H, where, if H > 1,
                                                                                                    2
                                                    1−H Z t         H−3 H−1
                                   KH(t,s) = cHs2           (u−s)      2u    2du ,      t > s.
                                                          s
                  and c    is a suitable normalization constant.        When H < 1, the expression for
                        H                                                              2
                  KH(t,s) is more difficult and we refer the interested reader to [3].
