For each , the bounded local martingale is a true martingale. Taking expectations givesfor every . Thus equals its convolution with every heat kernel. The convolution is smooth, so the originally Borel function is smooth. Differentiating the heat semigroup identity at gives , so is a bounded harmonic function on the plane. The Harmonic Liouville theorem now implies that is constant.
