The Exponential martingale for Brownian motion is a true martingale: independent increments and the normal distribution identity for give . Its second moment is
The uniform integrability from bounded second moments criterion now applies: for ,
Thus has uniform integrability. In fact, all values stopped at stopping times bounded by have uniform integrability, since and uniform integrability of conditional expectations applies. This is a finite-horizon assertion, not an assertion of uniform integrability over all .
