A real Lévy process with continuous paths is Brownian motion with deterministic linear drift: Xt​=bt+σWt​. Continuity forces the jump measure in the Lévy–Khintchine formula to vanish, leaving characteristic function exp(t(ibu−σ2u2/2)). If its law is also invariant under Xt​↦λ−1Xλ2t​ for every λ>0, then b=0. The zero-variance case is included.
