For , a three-dimensional Bessel process stopped at has the law of Brownian motion conditioned to hit before zero and stopped at . On , the Girsanov theorem and the Itô formula give terminal density . Its value is at the upper exit and at the lower exit. Letting in bounded stopped-path functionals gives density relative to the corresponding stopped Wiener measure. The exit probability is by the optional stopping theorem, so the density is normalized. On the unstopped full path space the same density defines the conditioned Brownian law; pushing it forward by the stopping map gives the stopped Bessel law. The already-stopped law is not absolutely continuous relative to unstopped Wiener measure, since eventually constant paths have Wiener probability zero.
