Expectation of Gamma times S2 in Black-Scholes model


Can somebody prove that:



E[S2t×Γ(t,St)]=S20×Γ(0,S0)


where St follows a lognormal process as in the Black-Scholes model, and Gamma is the second derivative 2C/S2 of the option price with respect to S.


I can see it is true using simulation, but I can't prove it. It seems to be true for the Vega as well.
