By Brownian scaling,
where has the standard three-dimensional multivariate normal distribution. The right-hand side tends to zero in probability, since has no atom at the origin. Part (d) gives almost-sure convergence to , which also implies convergence in probability to . Uniqueness of a limit in probability therefore gives almost surely. Hence almost surely, proving the transience of Brownian motion in dimension at least three in dimension three.

Transience of Brownian motion in dimension at least three Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Brownian motion in is transient for : its distance from the origin tends to infinity almost surely. In dimension three, the positive local martingale and Brownian scaling give a short proof.
