For a Bessel process of dimension , started at , the Itô formula gives
on its stochastic interval before hitting zero. Thus the power is a local martingale after localization away from zero. For this interval is the whole lifetime; at the power is constant. The unqualified assertion fails for a reflecting Bessel process of dimension one, which acquires local time of a semimartingale at zero.
