We give applications to probability theory; in particular, to the study of \(\mu\)-Brownian motion, to stochastic calculus via generalized Itô-integrals, and their adjoints (in the form of generalized stochastic derivatives), to systems of transition probability operators indexed by families of measures \(\mu\), and to adjoints of composition operators.
