Put and . The Itô formula gives . The independence of the two Brownian motions gives , so the product formula yields
For , and . The drift terms cancel in the Itô formula:
Define the rotated stochastic integral
It is a continuous local martingale with
The Lévy characterization of Brownian motion makes a Brownian motion. Since and ,
This is the arctangent transform of a two-noise affine diffusion.
