The differential operator L=21​x2∂xx​+21​x∂x​−21​ has solution operator Pt​g(x)=e−t/2E[g(xeBt​)]. For x=0 its integral kernel with respect to Lebesgue measure is p(t,x,y)=e−t/2(∣y∣2πt​)−1exp[−log2(∣y/x∣)/(2t)] when xy>0, and zero otherwise. For x=0 the kernel is the measure e−t/2δ0​, not a density. The Itô formula applied to e−s/2u(t−s,Xs​) proves this Feynman-Kac formula.
