i
For a partition of [a,b], every Riemann sum Sn​=∑j​Btj​​Δtj​ is a centered Gaussian random variable, with
VarSn​=∑i,j​min(ti​,tj​)Δti​Δtj​.
(1)
Path continuity gives Sn​→∫ab​Bs​ds almost surely, and the covariance bound E∣Bs​−Bt​∣2=∣s−t∣ also gives convergence in L2. Hence the limit is Gaussian, centered, and passage to the limit in the displayed sums gives variance
∫ab​∫ab​min(s,t)dsdt.
