Let $D=d\mathbb{Q}/d\mathbb{P}$ on $\mathcal{F}$. The Radon-Nikodym derivative is nonnegative and ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathbb{P}}D=1$. For $A\in {\mathcal{F}}_t$,Uniqueness of the restricted Radon-Nikodym derivative therefore identifiesFor $s\le t$, the tower property of conditional expectation gives ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathbb{P}}(Z_t\mid {\mathcal{F}}_s)=Z_s$, and ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathbb{P}}{Z}_t=1$. Thus $Z$ is a nonnegative true martingale, indeed a uniformly integrable martingale, since it consists of conditional expectations of one integrable random variable. This is the Radon-Nikodym density martingale. Under the usual conditions for a filtration, it has the standard càdlàg version; continuity is the additional assumption in part (c), not a consequence of absolute continuity alone.

On a fixed finite horizon, equivalent probability measures have the same semimartingales. For a strictly positive continuous Radon-Nikodym density martingale $Z$ and a continuous local martingale $L$ under the original measure, $L-\int Z^{-1}d[L,Z]$ is a local martingale under the new one, by the Girsanov theorem. Thus the finite-variation part of a continuous semimartingale decomposition changes by the opposite covariation correction.
