Part (c), iterated over disjoint nested annuli, gives independent increments, and the law gives stationary increments. Every finite vector is jointly Gaussian by the definition of the Zero-boundary Gaussian free field, and a continuous version was assumed. Moreover , because the field has zero boundary values.
Thus is a continuous centered Gaussian process with stationary increments and independent increments. Its variance is a continuous additive function on the nonnegative real numbers, so for some . The Gaussian-process characterization of Brownian motion now givesfor standard Brownian motion . This is the Circle-average process of the Gaussian free field is Brownian motion.
