MHB Filtration of a probability space

AI Thread Summary
In a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ with a filtration $\{\mathcal{F}_t\}_{0\leq t<\infty}$, the question arises whether $\mathcal{F}_{\infty} = \mathcal{F}$, where $\mathcal{F}_{\infty} = \sigma\left(\bigcup_{t} \mathcal{F}_t \right)$. It has been noted that $\mathcal{F}_{\infty}$ does not equal $\mathcal{F}$ if strict inclusion is not assumed in the definition of filtration. A counterexample is provided where $\mathcal{F}_t$ is a strictly contained $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{G}$. Further references on this topic may be needed for deeper understanding. The discussion highlights the nuances of filtration in probability theory.

Hi again, I hope you can clarify me on this:

Consider a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ and let $\{\mathcal{F}_t\}_{0\leq t<\infty}$ be a filtration on it. Define
$\mathcal{F}_{\infty} = \sigma\left(\bigcup_{t} \mathcal{F}_t \right)$ where $t \in [0,\infty).$

My question: Is $\mathcal{F}_{\infty} = \mathcal{F}$?

I came across with an answer that it is not, but I forgot the source nor I remember if there is a counterexample. Can anyone please help me? Thanks. Please also give me some reference on it.

Thanks, thanks, thanks...:o

If in the definition of filtration we don't assume strict inclusion we get a counter example taking $\mathcal F_t=\mathcal G$, where the latest is a strictly contained $\sigma$-algebra.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
