One continuous Girsanov theorem formulation is as follows. Let be a zero-starting continuous local martingale such that is a strictly positive uniformly integrable martingale, and define . For every continuous -local martingale ,On a finite horizon the same assertion holds with terminal density , provided is a true martingale through . In particular, if , thenis a Brownian motion under , on the specified horizon. Its quadratic variation remains under this absolutely continuous measure (equivalent on every finite-horizon sigma-algebra), and the Lévy characterization of Brownian motion identifies it as Brownian. The density sign and drift subtraction are paired: choosing the exponential of instead produces .
