In ZF, let be nonempty. If injects into , then there is either an injection or a surjection from to .
Indeed, extend the inverse of the given injection to a surjection by sending points outside its range to one fixed pair . If the second coordinate of restricted to the -summand covers , it is the required surjection. Otherwise choose that it misses. Every then has its preimage in the -summand. Except possibly for the default pair, that preimage is unique, so these preimages inject into . In the exceptional case they inject into ; either their image is all of , yielding a surjection from , or an omitted point extends the map to an injection from .

The Belinfante-Rosenfeld construction adds the divergence of a spin-current superpotential to the canonical stress-energy tensor, producing a symmetric conserved tensor with the same integrated four-momentum under suitable boundary conditions.

For distinct accessible subset states, choose a state in their symmetric difference. A word taking it to the unique final state accepts from one subset; uniqueness of the starting state prevents acceptance from the other. Thus the accessible part of the subset automaton is irreducible.

Let be continuous with . Ifis a martingale for every real , then conditional expectations solveThus is independent of and distributed as , so is Brownian motion.
Each Gaussian-convolution operator is a rescaled Weierstrass transform; the semigroup combines all times.
For the Cameron-Martin space of Wiener measure path , the Cameron-Martin theorem says that translation of Brownian motion by this linear function changes its law through time by the density
If is Brownian motion, thenis also Brownian motion. Its covariance is , and continuity at zero follows from almost surely.
Gaussian-process characterization of Brownian motion by

A centered Gaussian process with almost surely continuous sample paths and covariance is standard Brownian motion. Here Gaussian process means that every finite-dimensional distribution is a multivariate normal distribution; having separate normal distributions at each time would not suffice. This characterization is stated in Pitman, Basic Properties of Brownian Motion, Definition 15.2.
To compute the Brownian covariance kernel directly, suppose . Since and the added Brownian increment is centered and independent of ,Symmetry gives for arbitrary nonnegative times. For instance, and their correlation is . Positions are therefore related even though disjoint Brownian increments are independent: both positions contain the displacement accumulated during the first unit of time. Conversely, taking differences of gives zero covariance for disjoint increments; their joint multivariate normal distribution turns this into independence.
For every real ,is a martingale. Conditional expectation factors at time because the Gaussian increment is independent of the past and has exponential moment .
A standard Brownian bridge is the centered Gaussian process on . Its covariance is and it satisfies .
For a domain , the Brownian exit time is . It is a stopping time, and it has finite expectation when is bounded.
