For a continuous local martingale with , its stochastic exponential is
The Itô formula gives , so is a positive continuous local martingale. Every nonnegative local martingale is a supermartingale, because localization and the Conditional Fatou lemma turn the localized martingale equality into the supermartingale inequality.
