The stochastic exponential of isItô's formula gives , so it is a positive continuous local martingale starting from one. For ,Every nonnegative local martingale is a supermartingale. Hence, under ,The bound applies also to stopped versions. Localize the exponential to true martingales. Their uniform bound permits passage to the limit, proving that the unstopped exponential is a true martingale of mean one. The same bound makes its entire time-indexed family uniformly integrable. This proves the bounded-bracket criterion for a stochastic exponential, without needing an additional exponential-moment assumption.
