A well-known theorem of the author states that if \(\{M_ k\), \(k=1\),..., \(N\}\) \((N=0\), 1,...) is a set of continuous-path, orthogonal, square- integrable martingales with previsible, quadratic-variation processes \(\{<M_ k>\), \(k=1\),..., \(N\}\) such that \(<M_ k>_ t\to \infty\), then, defining \[ \tau_ k(t)=\inf \{s: <M_ k>_ s>t\},\quad B_ k(t)=M_ k(\tau_ k(t)) \] is an N-vector of independent Brownian motions and \(M_ k(t)=B_ k(<M_ k>_ t)\). The present paper considers the case \(<M_ 1>=...=<M_ N>\) and the question of when \(<M_ k>\) is a stopping time for the filtration generated by \(B_ 1\),... \(B_ N\). In such circumstances the time-transformation \(\tau =\tau_ 1=...=\tau_ N\) is called invertible; the original process is then in a strong sense a time change of an N-dimensional Brownian motion.
A necessary condition found is that every square integrable martingale of the original filtraccount”.
