In a one-factor market whose filtration is the usual augmentation of the natural Brownian filtration, with nonzero spot volatility and local martingale deflator $Y$, the Brownian martingale representation theorem constructs a nonnegative replicating strategy for a bounded nonnegative contingent claim. The minimal initial cost among nonnegative self-financing portfolios is $\mathbb{E}[Y_T{\xi }_T]$.

In a one-factor diffusion market, the market price of risk is the excess drift per unit spot volatility. It is the coefficient in the Brownian motion part of a local martingale deflator, $d{Y}_t=-Y_t(r_{t}dt+{\lambda }_{t}d{W}_t)$.

Assume the usual positive initial stock price and strike, so the logarithm is defined, and interpret $U$ as a classical solution of the displayed partial differential equation. For a fixed complex $z$, put $F_t(z)=S_t^{z}U(t,{\sigma }_t,z)$, defining $S_t^z=\exp (z\log S_t)$. The Itô formula for the two Brownian motions with correlation coefficient $\rho$ givesThe partial differential equation cancels the entire drift. By the permission to treat the resulting local martingales as true martingales, and the terminal condition, $F_t(z)=\mathbb{E}[S_T^z\mid {\mathcal{F}}_t]$.

The bounded spot volatility ensures $\mathbb{E}{S}_T^{x_0}<\infty$: the Itô formula for a real power and localization bound its moment by $S_0^{x_0}\exp (x_0(x_0-1)\Vert \sigma {\Vert }_{\infty }^{2}T/2)$. Rewrite the proposed integrand asNow $|F_t(x_0+iy)|\le \mathbb{E}[S_T^{x_0}\mid {\mathcal{F}}_t]$, an integrable bound independent of $y$. Conditional Fubini's theorem and part (b) therefore implyThis route justifies the contour exchange without assuming bounds on $U$ uniform in all complex $z$. Cash is constant, $S$ is a true martingale under the stated allowance, and the displayed $C$ is a true martingale. The original measure is thus an equivalent martingale measure for all three assets. The fundamental theorem of asset pricing gives the market has no arbitrage under the usual admissible trading convention.
