For a start Z0​=r0​eiα0​ in the punctured unit disc, the logarithmic lift −ilogZ starts at α0​−ilogr0​ in the upper half-plane. Local conformal invariance of planar Brownian motion changes its clock by ∫∣Zs​∣−2ds. That clock is finite at the disc exit because the stopped path is compact and avoids zero. Its terminal real coordinate is therefore the usual upper-half-plane Cauchy exit law from a Brownian half-plane. Subtracting α0​ gives the displayed winding law. Its first absolute moment diverges logarithmically, even though the final point modulo angle lies on a compact circle.
