A group action on increasing sequences of set-indexed Brownian motions

Abstract

We prove that a square-integrable set-indexed stochastic process is a set-indexed Brownian motion if and only if its projection on all the strictly increasing continuous sequences are one-parameter $G$-time-changed Brownian motions. In addition, we study the "sequence-independent variation" property for group stationary-increment stochastic processes in general and for a set-indexed Brownian motion in particular. We present some applications.
