Abstract

In this paper we discuss some problems in several areas of constructive probability theory: construction of Markov processes, Martingale theory, and potential theory. We hope to convince the reader that modern probability theory is a fertile source of challenging problems for the constructivist, and that adequate tools are available for their investigation.
