Fix . Part (b)(i) makes a probability measure on , equivalent to since . Its density process on is . The Girsanov theorem, applied to the stochastic exponential with integrand , says thatis standard Brownian motion under . The required local square-integrability follows from path continuity, and the true martingale property was proved in part (b)(i).
By part (b)(ii), under the process is therefore the zero-started Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process:This identifies its full law on continuous path space, rather than just its one-time marginal. It is a centered Gaussian process, since it consists of deterministic Itô integrals against Brownian motion. For , the Itô isometry gives its covariance function:In particular, its Ornstein-Uhlenbeck transition distribution at the terminal time is
