Use and its inverse as above. Strict increase and continuity make continuous, with and . Thus is continuous and adapted to , with .
The essential remaining point is independence of increments, which does not follow merely from the Gaussian marginal in part (a). Fix and . The complex exponentialis bounded by in modulus, hence is a uniformly integrable martingale. The optional sampling theorem at the finite, possibly unbounded, times givesDivide by the nonzero right-hand exponential. ThenThis deterministic conditional characteristic function says that is and independent of . Successively conditioning proves independence of every finite family of increments. Together with continuity and the zero initial value, this proves that is Brownian motion. The inverse-clock identity gives , completing the requested special-case proof of the Dubins-Schwarz theorem.
