Martingale drift of Langevin dynamics and classical canonical spin statistics

A martingale is a stochastic process that encodes a kind of fairness or unbiasedness, which is associated with a reference process. Here we show that, if the reference process xt evolves according to the Langevin equation with drift a(x) and if a(xt) is a martingale, then its amplitude is the Langevin function, which originally described the canonical response of a single classical Heisenberg spin under static field. Furthermore, the asymptotic limit of xt/t obeys the ensemble statistics of such a Heisenberg spin.
