Gaussian characteristic-function martingale from covariance loss

ID: gaussian-characteristic-function-martingale-from-covariance-loss

If a continuous mean martingale and a nonnegative finite-variation process satisfy , then the Itô formula shows is a bounded complex martingale. Its terminal expectation establishes an entire Gaussian distribution with the initial mean and variance. This is stronger than matching only the first two moments in a random-domain field construction.
