Problem on the exponential martingale with the Brownian motion

Let $S$ be a stochastic process defined by $S_t$ = exp$(int_0^t$ $z_s$ $dW_s$ $- frac12int_0^t$$vert z_s vert^2$ $ds$), where $W$ is a standard brownian motion and $z$ is deterministic with $int_0^T vert z_s vert^2 ds$ $lt$ $infty$



I want to show that $S$ is a martingale:



I think the integrability follows from Hölder's inequality using $mathbbE$[exp($nu$)] = exp($fracsigma^22$), if $nu$ ~ $mathcalN$($0$, $sigma^2$).



Furthermore, I think adaptability is trivially given since the brownian motion is also a martingale.



However, I am unable to show the decisive martingale property $mathbbE$[$S_t+1$|$mathcalF_t$] = $S_t$. Is the independence of the increments $int_0^t z_t dW_t - int_0^s z_s dW_s$ needed?



I am grateful for any tip and piece of advice

  • No I unfortunately do not - is there a way to solve the problem without using the lemma?

Hint: Because $z$ is deterministic, the stochastic integral $int_t^t+u z_s,dW_s$ is independent of $mathcal F_t$, for each $t>0, u>0$. Now write $int_0^t+u z_s,dW_s$ as $int_0^t z_s,dW_s+int_t^t+u z_s,dW_s$.
