Under the risk-neutral measure, writeLet and . ThenThe time-reversed increment processhas the same finite-dimensional distributions as , because has stationary independent increments. Moreover,Choosingtherefore makes equal in distribution to . Their discounted expectations, and hence their time-zero Black--Scholes prices, are equal. This is Brownian time reversal for fixed-strike lookback extrema.
