Common-clock time change of orthogonal local martingales
ID: common-clock-time-change-of-orthogonal-local-martingales
If a continuous vector local martingale has bracket matrix with , inverse-clock time change gives bracket matrix . The Lévy characterization of multidimensional Brownian motion then gives Brownian motion in the common time-changed filtration. A continuous local martingale is constant on flat intervals of its bracket, so inverses using and give the same martingale values. The filtration at the earlier inverse is smaller; adaptation and independence from the larger past transfer the Brownian property to it. Nonzero initial values are retained by adding the initial vector back.
