Brownian scaling gives , where has Rayleigh distribution with density , . For every ,Near zero this is bounded by , which is finite; near infinity the Gaussian tail dominates any logarithmic power. The inequality , valid also for , now yieldsLet , a finite constant. The same scaling identity givesAn integrable martingale has constant expectation, so the logarithm of planar Brownian radius is a strict local martingale on . Fixed-time integrability, even of every positive power, does not imply the stopping-time uniform integrability required in part a.
