Use the PDF's starred image hull and write . For , this map is analytic across a real neighborhood of the driver. Set
Let . The classical conformal change of half-plane capacity gives , and the image driver, indexed by original time, is . Differentiating the conjugacy relation gives
These are precisely the standard classical identities allowed in this question. The singularities cancel at . To calculate the remaining derivative, put and expand at fixed :
Therefore
where each keeps the spatial variable fixed before evaluation. Applying the Itô formula to gives the boundary derivative diffusion under conformal Loewner conjugacy
At , the third-derivative drift cancels. A second application of the Itô formula to gives
Choosing cancels the remaining drift. Hence the SLE eight-thirds restriction martingale is
Localizing away from and from vanishing derivatives makes the displayed stochastic integral a martingale on each localized interval, so it defines a continuous local martingale up to .
