# On backward stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensions

• In the present paper we present a result in which probabilistic methods are used to prove existence and uniqueness of a backward partial differential equation in a Hilbert space. This equation is of the form (7) in Theorem 1.1 below. In particular semi-linear conditions on the coefficient $f$ are imposed.
