Under Wiener measure, dXt​=dWt​ and
[M]t​=∫0t​Xs2​ds​(t≤τ).
(1)
The definition of the stochastic exponential gives
dlogZt​=Xt​dXt​​−2Xt2​dt​.
(2)
On the other hand, the Itô formula applied to the logarithm gives precisely
dlogXt​=Xt​dXt​​−2Xt2​dt​.
(3)
Their initial values differ by logx, so
logZt​=logXt​−logx,Zt​=Xt​/x(t≤τ),​
(4)
almost surely under Wiener measure. In particular,
Zτ​=xM​1{TM​<Tε​}​+xε​1{Tε​<TM​}​.
