Abstract
We present a review on the state-of-the-art of the mathematical framework known as stochastic inflation, paying special attention to its derivation, and giving references for the readers interested in results coming from the application of the stochastic framework to different inflationary scenarios, especially to those of interest for primordial black hole formation. During the derivation of the stochastic formalism, we will emphasise two aspects in particular: the difference between the separate universe approach and the true long wavelength limit of scalar inhomogeneities and the generically non-Markovian nature of the noises that appear in the stochastic equations.
