In the first line of these notes the author defines his stochastic process. Using a filtration. What is the importance of filtrations?

    We want the stochastic process to be measurable for every time $t$. "Measurable with respect to what?" The filtration.

  • Cant you say measurable with respect to F instead of ${F_t$ where F is the smallest sigma-algebra which makes the mapping measurable for any t>0

  • Only if $F_t=F$, which is rarely the case.

    Which mapping? Details and carefully written propositions already answer the question. To have a quick idea, imagine instead of a filtration $F=(F_t)_tin T=0,1,2,3,dots$ and and adapted process to it $X$ the following situation. The filtration is a newspaper providing information and $X$ is a TV sender using only the information from the newspaper. So at day $t$, the program $X_t$ can only tell stuff in the past journals. (To have a random variable, consider only the stock prices from the journal.)
