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.

Brownian scaling

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice. If B=(Bt)t0 is standard Brownian motion and c>0, then Yt=c1/2Bct,t0, is standard Brownian motion. After redefining Y to be the zero path off a common probability-one continuity event, the resulting path-space random element has Wiener measure as its law.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, a standard Brownian motion B, and a real c>0.

[F1]

Brownian motion has a centered Gaussian finite-dimensional law with covariance min(s,t) and has one probability-one continuity event; conversely those Gaussian laws give the required independent normal increments. Brownian motion Gaussian process Brownian covariance is equivalent to independent stationary normal increments

[F2]

Every positive real has a unique positive square root, and nonzero reals have multiplicative inverses. Square roots exist: a unique a0 with (a)2=a; the positives are {x2:x0} The reals form a field

[F3]

The Borel sigma-algebra of continuous path space is generated by its coordinate maps. A measurable path-space random element has a probability law, and Wiener measure is the unique Borel probability whose coordinates are centered Gaussian with covariance min(s,t). Borel sigma-algebra of continuous path space is generated by coordinates The law of a random element is a probability measure Wiener measure on continuous path space Uniqueness of Wiener measure

[F4]

AC supplies the normal-law and Brownian interfaces used in [F1] and [F3]. The Axiom of Choice

1.1

By [F2], a=1/c is a well-defined positive real and a2c=1. For any finite times t1,,tn and coefficients u1,,un, j=1nujYtj=aj=1nujBctj. The right side is normal by the Gaussian characterization in [F1], including when coefficients vanish or times repeat. Hence Y is Gaussian and centered.

2.1

For s,t0, Cov(Ys,Yt)=a2Cov(Bcs,Bct)=a2min(cs,ct)=min(s,t). Also Y0=aB0=0 almost surely. By [F1], Y therefore has mutually independent increments YtjYtj1N(0,tjtj1) along every finite strictly increasing list.

3.1

Let A be the single probability-one event on which tBt(ω) is continuous. For ωA, the map taBct(ω) is continuous as a composition of continuous scalar and time maps. Thus the same event A is a common continuity event for Y. Together with steps 1.1 and 2.1, this proves that Y is standard Brownian motion.

4.1

Define Y^t=Yt on A and Y^t=0 on Ac. Every path of Y^ is continuous. For each fixed t, the random variable Y^t is measurable because A is measurable and Yt is measurable. Since the Borel sigma-algebra of continuous path space is generated by the coordinates, [F3] makes ω(tY^t(ω)) a Borel random element, and its law is a probability. Its coordinate process has the same finite-dimensional laws as Y, because the two processes agree on A; hence it is centered Gaussian with covariance min(s,t) by steps 1.1 and 2.1. Uniqueness in [F3] identifies that probability with Wiener measure. When c=1, a=1 and the process is unchanged; c=0 is excluded because neither c1/2 nor the claimed covariance normalization is defined. AC is used only through [F1] and [F3].

Source notes

Sousi and Yoshida state Brownian scaling. The proof records both the process claim and the measurable path-law conclusion, rather than inferring continuity from finite-dimensional distributions.
