Uniform-arrival residual mass martingale

ID: uniform-arrival-residual-mass-martingale

For finitely many independent uniform arrival times on , and fixed positive weights, normalize the unarrived mass by the remaining time. Conditional on not having arrived by , each arrival remains uniform on , giving the martingale identity. The process is càdlàg, nonnegative, and has constant mean equal to the total weight. It vanishes eventually before time one on each typical path, so it is not uniformly integrable when the total weight is positive.
