This is an exponential-moment criterion for the <stochastic exponential> to be a true <martingale>. In the infinite-horizon stopped-moment form, a zero-starting convergent <continuous local martingale> satisfying $\sup_T\mathbb Ee^{M_T/2}<\infty$ has a <uniformly integrable martingale> $\mathcal E(M)$. The <half-threshold for the exponential-martingale Hölder bound> first controls strict scalings. The <terminal scaling inequality for stochastic exponentials> and <terminal expectation criterion for a nonnegative local martingale> then include the endpoint scaling.
