Abstract / Description of output

The following question is due to Marc Yor: Let B be a Brownian motion and S-t = t + B-t. Can we define an F-B - predictable process process H such that the resulting stochastic integral (H . S) is a Brownian motion (without drift) in its own filtration, i.e. an F-(H.S)-Brownian motion?

In this paper we show that by dropping the requirement of F-B-predictability of H we can give a positive answer to this question. In other words, we are able to show that there is a weak solution to Yor's question. The original question, i.e., existence of a strong solution, remains open.
