The variance at zero is zero, so almost surely. For , the increment is Gaussian with mean zero and varianceFor every ,The increment and any finite vector of past values are jointly Gaussian. Zero cross-covariances imply their independence, by the factorization of the joint Gaussian characteristic function. The Monotone class theorem extends this independence to the sigma-field generated by all past values, .
Together with the assumed continuity, these proveThis is the Gaussian-process characterization of Brownian motion. Completion of the natural filtration preserves the independence assertion.
