This course provides a rigorous foundation in the advanced theory of stochastic processes featuring Polish state spaces and arbitrary parameter sets. The lectures are devoted to the general construction of stochastic processes, encompassing a systematic analysis of their sample path regularity and distributional properties. In particular, we will focus on Gaussian fields and Lévy processes and derive efficient simulation schemes employing generative artificial intelligence.
