Because is continuous, adapted, and strictly positive, is predictable and locally integrable against . DefineThe quadratic variation of a stochastic integral isThus starts at zero and is a continuous local martingale with bracket . The Lévy characterization of Brownian motion makes it a Brownian motion in the original filtration.
The process is continuous and adapted, and almost surely. The associativity of stochastic integration givesThis is the stochastic-integral representation from absolutely continuous quadratic variation.
