5.10 Theorem (Wald's identities. Wald 1944). Let (B, F)o be a BM and assume that Ex. 5.6 T is an F, stopping time. If ET s, ifts, for all s > 0. Therefore, the optional stopping theorem (Theorem A.18) applies and shows that (BTA) is a martingale. In particular, E. Brt = E. Bo = 0. Using Lemma 5.3 for p = 2 we see that E[B]E[supB] 4E[B]=4t, i.e. B+ L(P). Again by optional stopping we conclude with Example 5.2.c) that (MBA-TAL, FA) is a martingale, hence E[M]=E[M]=0 or E[B] = E(TA). By the martingale property we see E [BABTAS] =E[B] for all s
