For every positive real , a centered normal variable of variance has absolute th moment , where . Fix and choose large enough that . ThenThe Kolmogorov continuity theorem gives a modification with Hölder continuity of every exponent less than , in particular exponent , on each compact interval. This modification and the given continuous Brownian motion agree almost surely at all rational times; continuity makes them agree everywhere simultaneously. Thus the property holds for the given trajectories, not just for another version.
Take a countable increasing sequence of positive exponents approaching , and intersect their probability-one events for every integer time horizon. Hölder continuity of a larger exponent implies that of every smaller positive exponent on a compact interval, after adjusting the constant. We have therefore proved the simultaneous assertionThe compact-interval qualification matters: a single uniform Hölder constant on the entire half-line is not being asserted.
