How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Lp maximal moment bound for Brownian Itô integrals

Statement

Assume AC and the usual filtered Brownian conventions of Continuous Brownian Ito processes. Let G be a predictable d×m matrix process on [0,T] with E(∫0T∥Gs∥F2 ds)p/2<∞ for some real p≥2, and let Mt=∫0tGs dWs be its continuous vector Itô integral. There is a finite constant Cp,d, independent of G and T, such that Esup⁡0≤t≤T∣Mt∣p≤Cp,d E(∫0T∥Gs∥F2 ds)p/2.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, finite d,m, a usual filtered Brownian space, a predictable matrix integrand G, and the finite p/2 moment of its quadratic energy.

[F1]

The multidimensional Itô formula applies to each stopped real coordinate Mi, driven by the m-dimensional Brownian motion. For f(x)=∣x∣p, p≥2, one has f∈C2(R) and f′′(x)=p(p−1)∣x∣p−2, with the continuous value f′′(0)=2 when p=2 and f′′(0)=0 when p>2. Multidimensional Ito formula for Brownian-driven processes

[F2]

For a martingale M, ∣M∣ is a submartingale; for a nonnegative submartingale Z with ZN∈Lp, Doob's finite time inequality gives ∥max⁡k≤NZk∥p≤pp−1∥ZN∥p. Absolute value and powers of a martingale are submartingales Doob Lp maximal inequality

[F3]

Stopping a finite-energy Brownian Itô integral at a stopping time gives the integral of the stopped predictable integrand; a stopping time satisfies {τ≤t}∈Ft. Stopping an Ito integral Continuous-time stopping times and stopped sigma-algebras

[F4]

A continuous Brownian Itô process has an adapted continuous version and its finite-energy stochastic integral is a martingale. Continuous Brownian Ito processes

[F5]

Hölder's inequality with conjugate exponents p/(p−2) and p/2 (for p>2), and its p=2 endpoint, gives E[Sp−2Q]≤(ESp)(p−2)/p(EQp/2)2/p for nonnegative S,Q. Holder's inequality for integrals, including the endpoint cases

[F6]

On nested dyadic grids that include T, continuity makes the grid maxima increase to the path supremum; monotone convergence passes the expectations to that supremum. Monotone convergence for the integral

[F7]

Fatou's lemma passes a uniform bound on nonnegative stopped path suprema to their almost-sure limit. Fatou's lemma

AC is inherited from the Brownian and Itô-integral interfaces; no choice is made in this estimate. The Axiom of Choice

For each coordinate i, set Mti=∑j=1m∫0tGsij dWsj, Qi(t)=∫0t∑j∣Gsij∣2ds, and Mi∗(t)=sup⁡u≤t∣Mui∣. Stop at ρR=inf⁡{t:Qi(t)∨Mi∗(t)≥R}∧T, for R>0. These processes are continuous and adapted, and {ρR≤t}={Qi(t)∨Mi∗(t)≥R} for t<T, so ρR is a stopping time Continuous-time stopping times and stopped sigma-algebras. The stopped process is a continuous square-integrable martingale by [F3]–[F4], its quadratic energy is bounded by R, and its path supremum is bounded by R. Apply [F2] to ∣Mi∣ sampled on nested dyadic grids including T. By [F6], the grid maxima increase to the path supremum and monotone convergence passes the discrete bounds to Si(R):=Esup⁡t≤T∣Mt∧ρRi∣p≤qpE∣MT∧ρRi∣p, where q=p/(p−1).

2.1F1F5step 1.1algebra

Apply [F1] to the stopped coordinate process. The stochastic term has mean zero because its integrand is bounded by the stopping level and has finite energy. Put Ui(R)=sup⁡t≤T∣Mt∧ρRi∣. The Hessian term is bounded by p(p−1)2Ui(R)p−2Qi(R), where Qi(R)=∫0T∧ρR∑j∣Gsij∣2ds. Therefore Si(R)≤qpp(p−1)2 E[Ui(R)p−2Qi(R)]. For p=2, interpret Ui(R)0=1, giving Si(R)≤C2EQi(R). For p>2, [F5] gives Si(R)≤CpSi(R)(p−2)/p(EQi(R)p/2)2/p.

3.1step 2.1givenalgebra

For p=2, step 2.1 gives the coordinate estimate. For p>2, if Si(R)=0 it is immediate; otherwise divide the bound in step 2.1 by Si(R)(p−2)/p and raise to the power p/2. In both cases Si(R)≤CpEQi(R)p/2≤CpE(∫0T∥Gs∥F2ds)p/2. Since ∣Mt∣≤dmax⁡i∣Mti∣, summing the coordinate estimates gives the required bound for the stopped vector integral with constant Cp,d.

4.1A1F3F7step 3.1given∎

As R→∞, finite pathwise energy and continuity make ρR=T eventually almost surely. By [F7], Fatou's lemma passes the uniform bound of step 3.1 to Esup⁡t≤T∣Mt∣p. The constant depends only on p,d. AC is exactly the inherited assumption [A1].
