$$Z(t)=(\frac{S(t)}{H})^p$$where $S$ has a standard Black-scholes Dynamics for a stock, $H$ is a postive constant and $p =1 - \frac{2r}{\sigma^2}$. How can I show that $Z(t)/Z(0)$ is a postive Q-martingale with mean 1?

The questions doesn't specify anything about the filtration beside that we are in the standard Black-SCholes model. My concern here is how to treat $S_0$. Will $S_0$ be a process or simply a constant?

Show a process is Martingale

$$Z(t)=(\frac{S(t)}{H})^p$$where $S$ has a standard Black-scholes Dynamics for a stock, $H$ is a postive constant and $p =1 - \frac{2r}{\sigma^2}$. How can I show that $Z(t)/Z(0)$ is a postive Q-martingale with mean 1?
