The standard symmetric Cauchy process is the Lévy process with Lévy characteristic exponent . Its time- distribution for is the Cauchy distribution of location zero and scale . It can be constructed by subordination of a Lévy process: evaluate an independent standard Brownian motion at the Brownian first-passage subordinator, whose Laplace exponent is .
For a standard Cauchy process, the increment characteristic function is . Scaling space by and time by leaves this expression unchanged and preserves independent increments, proving equality of all finite-dimensional distributions. Equivalently, has the original process law. Scaling both space and time by instead changes the exponent by and is not an invariance unless .
