Alternative formulation of a markov process












0














I'm wondering how the markov property can be specified as follows, if anyone can provide more details (this looks awfully like the definition for a martingale):



$$E[f(X_t)|mathcal{F}_s]=E[f(X_t)|sigma(X_s)]$$



for all $t geq s geq 0$ and $f:S to mathbb{R}$ bounded and measurable.



I'm used to the markov property definition in terms conditional probabilities and time-homogeneity.



Also, isn't $sigma(X_s)$ the sigma algebra generated by $X_s$ which is just the filtration $mathcal{F}_s$?
