Start Brownian motions at arbitrary . Use the successive meeting times from part b, but after coordinate meets, drive that coordinate of the second process with the first process's increments forever. The Strong Markov property shows that each marginal remains a -dimensional Brownian motion. By part b every coordinate is eventually locked, so the resulting coordinatewise coalescing coupling of Brownian motions has an almost surely finite coalescence time .
Because is bounded and harmonic, Dynkin formula for Brownian motion shows that and are bounded martingales. ThereforeSince almost surely, the right side tends to zero. Thus for all , proving the Brownian coupling proof of the harmonic Liouville theorem.
