For independent coordinate Brownian motions, the stochastic area with the stated orientation is . Its bracket is . Reversing orientation changes its sign but not its law or quadratic variation.
The radial martingale and the planar Brownian stochastic area have common bracket and zero cross variation, because their integrand vectors and are orthogonal. The Itô formula also gives .
Jointly time-change the radial and area martingales by the inverse of . The bracket matrix becomes , so the Lévy characterization of multidimensional Brownian motion gives two independent Brownian coordinates. The clock is strictly increasing; if it were finite at infinity, the radial martingale would converge and would force its integral to diverge. Thus and with independent.
