Lévy characterization of Brownian motion says that a continuous local martingale with is standard Brownian motion with respect to its filtration if its quadratic variation is . Equivalently one may require to be a local martingale.
Any weak solution has the integral form . Its bounded integrand makes it a continuous local martingale starting at zero, and
The specified value of the sign at zero has square one as well. Lévy characterization of Brownian motion therefore proves that every such weak solution is Brownian motion. This is a statement about its law and filtration; it does not assert or provide a strong solution as a function of a specified driver.
