 Solution

A standard one-dimensional Brownian motion is a real-valued stochastic process $(B_t{)}_{t\ge 0}$ satisfying $B_0=0$ almost surely, having continuous paths almost surely, and having independent increments withHere $N(0,t-s)$ is the normal distribution with zero expected value and variance $t-s$. Thus the increments are also stationary increments.

If Brownian motion is defined relative to a specified filtration $({\mathcal{F}}_t)$, additionally require that it is an adapted process and that $B_t-B_s$ is independent of ${\mathcal{F}}_s$. For its natural filtration, this follows from independent increments. These are the defining properties of standard Brownian motion.
