Uniform continuity implies finite number of downcrossings of Brownian Motion almost surely?

27 Views Asked by At

As mentioned in this textbook by Morters and Peres on page 147:

Note that $D(a, b, t)$ is almost surely finite by the uniform continuity of Brownian motion on the compact interval $[0, t]$.

where $D(a, b, t)$ denotes the number of downcrossings of the interval $[a, b]$ before time $t$.

How do I prove that this is true?
