Abstract

Assume that XX is a continuous square integrable process with zero mean, defined on some probability space (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathrm {F},\mathrm {P}). The classical characterization due to P. L\'{e}vy says that XX is a Brownian motion if and only if XX and Xt2tX_t^2-t, t0,t\ge0, are martingales with respect to the intrinsic filtration FX\mathrm {F}^X. We extend this result to fractional Brownian motion.
