Suppose an arbitrage existed. Its discounted terminal wealth would satisfy -almost surely and . Equivalence of and gives the same two statements under , so
But part (c), after the usual admissibility or localization needed for integrability, gives
a contradiction. Hence the existence of the stated martingale measure rules out arbitrage.
