Let $Y_t$ be a stochastic process defined by $Y_t := M_t - W_t$, where $W_t$ is the Wiener process and $M_t := \max_{0 \leq u \leq t} W_u$.
Does $Y_t$ have independent increments?

No. Sketch:
Fix $\epsilon>0$. Since $Y$ is non-negative we have: $\mathbb{P}[Y_1<\epsilon, Y_2-Y_1<-\epsilon]=0$, but $\mathbb P[Y_1<\epsilon]>0$ and $\mathbb{P}[Y_2-Y_1<-\epsilon]>0$.
