This paper contains several useful results on optional stochastic integrals of local martingales and semimartingales, as well as the first occurence of the well-known formula \[ \mathcal{E}(X)\,\mathcal{E}(Y)=\mathcal{E}(X+Y+[X,Y]) \] where \( \mathcal{E} \) denotes the usual exponential of semimartingales. Also, the s.d.e. \[ Z_t=1+\int_0^t Z_s\,dX_s \] is solved, where \( X \) is a suitable semimartingale, and the integral is an optional one. The Lévy measure of a local martingale is studied, and used to rewrite the Ito formula in a form that involves optional integrals. Finally, a whole family of “exponentials” is introduced, interpolating between the standard one and an exponential involving the Lévy measure, which was used by Kunita–Watanabe in a Markovian set-up.

We study the Gibbs probability measures attached to a Markov process, using methods of statistical mechanics. Such a study has already been undertaken, by F. Spitzer and H. Kesten, for Markov chains with discrete state space. Our purpose is to extend their results to general Markov processes.

Some theorems obtained by Ph. Courrège, P. Renouard and G. Royer, on quasi-invariant measures on \( C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}) \) associated to one dimensional quantum fields are also generalized. In particular, we solve some problems raised by Ph. Courrège and P. Renouard on the connection between Markov processes and Markov fields in the sense of E. Nelson.

We show the uniqueness of Gibbs measures in the compact state space case (generalizing a result of R. L. Dobrushin), the uniqueness of invariant Gibbs measures with Markov property for positive recurrent semi-groups (generalizing results of F. Spitzer, H. Kesten and G. Royer) and the absence of Gibbs states for convolution semi-groups (generalizing a result of F. Spitzer).

Given a filtration \( (\mathcal{F}_t) \) and a positive random variable \( L \), the so-called progressively enlarged filtration is the smallest one \( (\mathcal{G}_t) \) containing \( (\mathcal{F}_t) \), and for which \( L \) is a stopping time. The enlargement problem consists in describing the semimartingales \( X \) of \( \mathcal{F} \) which remain semimartingales in \( \mathcal{G} \), and in computing their semimartingale characteristics. In this paper, it is proved that \( X_t\,I_{\{t\lt L\}} \) is a semimartingale in full generality, and that \( X_t\,I_{\{t\geq L\}} \) is a semimartingale whenever \( L \) is honest for \( \mathcal{F} \), i.e., is the end of an \( \mathcal{F} \)-optional set.

MR 520008 Zbl 0391.60046 incollection

This paper was a considerable step in the study of the general martingale problem, i.e., of the set \( \mathcal{P} \) of all laws on a filtered measurable space under which a given set \( \mathcal{N} \) of (adapted, right continuous) processes are local martingales. The starting point is a theorem from measure theory due to R. G. Douglas (Michigan Math. J. 11, 1964), and the main technical difference with preceding papers is the systematic use of stochastic integration in \( H^1 \). The main result can be stated as follows: given a law \( \mathbb{P}\in\mathcal{P} \), the set \( \mathcal{N} \) has the previsible representation property, i.e., \( \mathcal{F}_0 \) is trivial and stochastic integrals with respect to elements of \( \mathcal{N} \) are dense in \( H^1 \), if and only if \( \mathbb{P} \) is an extreme point of \( \mathcal{P} \). Many examples and applications are given.

The main purpose of this paper is to warn against “obvious” statements which are in fact false. Let \( (\mathcal{G}_t) \) be an enlargement of \( (\mathcal{F}_t) \). Assume that \( \mathcal{F} \) has the previsible representation property with respect to a martingale \( X \) which is a \( \mathcal{G} \)-semimartingale. Then it does not follow that every \( \mathcal{F} \)-martingale \( Y \) is a \( \mathcal{G} \)-semimartingale. Also, even if \( Y \) is a \( \mathcal{G} \)-semimartingale, its \( \mathcal{G} \)-compensator may have bad absolute continuity properties. The counterexample to the first statement involves a detailed study of the initial enlargement of the filtration of Brownian motion \( (B_t)_{t\leq 1} \) by the random variable \( B_1 \), which transforms it into the Brownian bridge, a semimartingale. Then the stochastic integrals with respect to \( B \) which are \( \mathcal{G} \)-semimartingales are completely described, and this is the place where the classical Hardy inequality appears.

The problem is to study the filtration generated by real valued stochastic integrals \[ Y=\int_0^t(AX_s, dX_s) ,\] where \( X \) is a \( n \)-dimensional Brownian motion, \( A \) is a \( n{\times}n \)-matrix, and \( (\,\cdot,\cdot\,) \) is the scalar product. If \( A \) is the identity matrix we thus get (squares of) Bessel processes. If \( A \) is symmetric, we can reduce it to diagonal form, and the filtration is generated by a Brownian motion, the dimension of which is the number of different non-zero eigenvalues of \( A \). In particular, this dimension is 1 if and only if the matrix is equivalent to \( cI_r \), a diagonal with \( r \) ones and \( n{-}r \) zeros. This is also (even if the symmetry assumption is omitted) the only case where \( Y \) has the previsible representation property.

The balayage formula is extended to processes \( Z \) which are not locally bounded, and the local time of the semimartingale \( Y \) is computed. The class of continuous semimartingales \( X \) with canonical decomposition \( X=M+V \) such that \( dV \) is carried by \[ H=\{X=0\} \] is introduced and studied. It turns out to be an important class, closely related to “relative martingales” [Azéma et al. 1992]. A number of results are given, too technical to be stated here. Stopping previsible, optional and progressive processes at the last exit time \( L \) from \( H \) leads to three \( \sigma \)-fields, \( \mathcal{F}_L^p \), \( \mathcal{F}_L^o \), \( \mathcal{F}_L^{\pi} \), and it was considered surprising that the last two could be different (see [Dellacherie 1978]). Here it is shown that if \( X \) is a continuous uniformly integrable martingale with \( X_0=0 \), \[ \mathbb{E}[X_{\infty}|\mathcal{F}_L^o]=0\neq \mathbb{E}[X_{\infty}|\mathcal{F}_L^{\pi}] .\]

This paper consists of two notes on Gilat’s theorem (Ann. Prob. 5, 1977, see also [Maisonneuve 1979]). The problem consists in constructing, given a continuous positive submartingale \( Y \), a continuous martingale \( X \) (possibly on a different space) such that \( |X| \) has the same law as \( Y \). Let \( A \) be the increasing process associated with \( Y \); it is necessary for the existence of \( X \) that \( dA \) should be carried by \( \{Y=0\} \). This is shown by the first note (Yor’s) to be also sufficient — more precisely, in this case the solutions of Gilat’s problem are all continuous. The second note (Barlow’s) shows how to construct a Gilat martingale by “putting a random \( \pm \) sign in front of each excursion of \( Y \)”, a simple intuitive idea and a delicate proof.

This paper starts from the existence of increasing left-continuous processes \( (A_t) \) which generate the previsible \( \sigma \)-field, i.e., every previsible process can be represented as \( f(X_t) \) for some Borel function \( f \) (see [Dellacherie and Stricker 1982]), to prove the existence (discovered by the first named author) of “rich” stopping times \( T \), i.e., previsible stopping times which encode the whole past up to time \[ T: \sigma(T)=\mathcal{F}_{T-} \] (a few details are omitted here). This result leads to counterexamples: a non-reversible semimartingale (see the preceding paper [Walsh 1982]) and a stopping time \( T \) for Brownian motion such that \( L^a_T \) is not a semimartingale in its space variable \( a \).

The domination relation [Lenglart 1977] between a positive, right-continuous process \( X \) and a previsible increasing process \( A \) holds whenever \[ \mathbb{E}[X_T]\leq \mathbb{E}[A_T] \] at stopping times. It plays an important role in the paper [1980] of Lenglart–Lepingle–Pratelli on martingale inequalities. Here it is shown to imply a general inequality involving \( X^*_{\infty} \) and \( 1/A_{\infty} \), from which follow a number of inequalities for a continuous local martingale \( M \). Among them, estimates on the ratios of the three quantities \( M^*_{\infty} \), \( \langle M\rangle_{\infty} \), \( \sup_{a,t} L^a_t \). One can recover also the stronger version of Doob’s inequality, proved by Pitman [1981].

Theorem 1 below is a by-product of the continuous martingale inequalities obtained in [Yor 1985], using the technique of enlargment of filtrations. The main purpose of this paper is to give an entirely new proof and some extensions of Theorem 1; some global stability properties of classes of processes which satisfy Kolmogorov’s criterion (\( K^{\phi} \)) play a crucial role in our proof.

Let \( k\in (0,\infty) \), and \( p\in (1,\infty) \). There exists a constant \( C_{k,p} \) such that for any positive, finite variable \( L \), and any continuous local martingale \( (X_t)_{t\geq 0} \), with \( X(0) = 0 \), we have

\( E[(X^*(L))^k]\leq C_{k,p} \bigl\| \langle X\rangle_L^{k/2} \bigr\|_p \),
\( E\bigl[ \langle X\rangle_L^{k/2} \bigr] \leq C_{k,p} \bigl\| (X^*(L))^k \bigr\|_p \), where \( X*(t)\equiv \sup_{s\leq t} |X(s)| \),
and \( (\langle X\rangle_t) \) is the increasing process of \( X \).

Duplantier [1989] has computed the characteristic function of the stochastic area of planar Brownian motion taken with respect to its centre of gravity. In this paper it is shown that this result can be deduced from Lévy’s stochastic area formula. Moreover, Duplantier’s stochastic area is shown to have the same law as the stochastic area of the restriction to the time interval \( [0,1] \) of the Brownian ring defined on the time interval \( [0,4/3] \).

The same method also applies to the stochastic area formulae, obtained by Biane and Yor [1986], which are relative to certain planar processes associated with the orthogonal decomposition of Brownian motion along the \( L^2[0,1] \) basis of Legendre polynomials.

Thanks mainly to the relationship between the heat equation, newtonian potential theory and Brownian motion, the laws of a large number of Brownian functionals have been obtained during the last fifty years, at least via explicit expressions of their Laplace and Fourier transforms. Much pioneering work in this area was done by Paul Lévy.

Gradually, with the development of Itô’s stochastic calculus, excursion theory, path decompositions and the technique of enlargement of nitrations, these studies of individual distributions on \( \mathbb{R} \), sometimes exhibiting identities between two laws, which looked a priori to be mere “coincidences”, have been understood in a deeper way, in fact often by showing that two processes are identical in law; see [Biane 1990] for a recent survey in that spirit.

The most elementary examples of Brownian functionals are linear functionals: if \[ f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}_+,dt) ,\] and \( (B_t \), \( t\geq 0) \) is a real-valued BM, the Wiener integral \[ \int_0^{\infty} f(t)\,dB_t \] is a centered Gaussian variable, with variance \[ \int_0^{\infty}f^2(t)\,dt .\] Quadratic functionals of BM represent the next level of complexity; those functionals are of great interest as, somewhat surprisingly, they occur in a number of very different studies of Brownian motion, such as the Ray–Knight theorems for Brownian local times, the Ciesielski–Taylor identities, some limiting laws of planar BM, and principal values of Brownian local times.

We shall take here, as a prototype of a quadratic Brownian functional, the stochastic area of planar BM, and it will be shown how Paul Lévy’s formula for this stochastic area appears again and again in most of the above mentioned studies of Brownian motion.

Motivated by Tsirel’son’s equation in continuous time, a similar stochastic equation indexed by discrete negative time is discussed in full generality, in terms of the law of a discrete time noise. When uniqueness in law holds, the unique solution (in law) is not strong; moreover, when there exists a strong solution, there are several strong solutions. In general, for any time \( n \), the \( \sigma \)-field generated by the past of a solution up to time \( n \) is shown to be equal, up to negligible sets, to the \( \sigma \)-field generated by the 3 following components: the infinitely remote past of the solution, the past of the noise up to time \( n \), together with an adequate independent complement.

Some general formulae are obtained for size-biased sampling from a Poisson point process in an abstract space where the size of a point is defined by an arbitrary strictly positive function. These formulae explain why in certain cases (gamma and stable) the size-biased permutation of the normalized jumps of a subordinator can be represented by a stickbreaking (residual allocation) scheme defined by independent beta random variables. An application is made to length biased sampling of excursions of a Markov process away from a recurrent point of its statespace, with emphasis on the Brownian and Bessel cases when the associated inverse local time is a stable subordinator. Results in this case are linked to generalizations of the arcsine law for the fraction of time spent positive by Brownian motion.

Lévy discovered that the fraction of time a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion \( B \) spends positive before time \( t \) has arcsine distribution, both for \( t \) a fixed time when \( B_t \neq 0 \) almost surely, and for \( t \) an inverse local time, when \( B_t = 0 \) almost surely. This identity in distribution is extended from the fraction of time spent positive to a large collection of functionals derived from the lengths and signs of excursions of \( B \) away from 0. Similar identities in distribution are associated with any process whose zero set is the range of a stable subordinator, for instance a Bessel process of dimension \( d \) for \( 0 \lt d \lt 2 \).

In this paper, distributional questions which arise in certain mathematical finance models are studied: the distribution of the integral over a fixed time interval \( [0,T] \) of the exponential of Brownian motion with drift is computed explicitly, with the help of computations previously made by the author for Bessel processes. The moments of this integral are obtained independently and take a particularly simple form. A subordination result involving this integral and previously obtained by Bougerol is recovered and related to an important identity for Bessel functions. When the fixed time \( T \) is replaced by an independent exponential time, the distribution of the integral is shown to be related to last-exit time distributions and the fixed time case is recovered by inverting Laplace transforms.

The paper suggests an abstract model of the game of soccer (football) on an infinite field, where the path of the ball is the planar Wiener trajectory. The asymptotical distribution of the soccer score is obtained for large time \( T \). It shows that the variance of the score is proportional to \( (K^{\prime}/K)\log T \), where \( K \) and \( K^{\prime} \) are the periods of an elliptic integral with singularities at the locations of the goal posts. In particular this relation shows how the score in this game depends on the width of the goals. It is interesting to note that today FIFA is considering a possible increase of the goal’s width in connection with the fall of attendance at soccer matches even during the world championships. Of course, the suggested model is one among many possible models taking more and more soccer rules into account. For instance, the slow logarithmic growth of the variance in the given model is a result of the unboundedness of the soccer field. A more realistic model of the same game would be on a rectangular field where the Wiener motion is reflected from the boundary along the normal; one may obtain the central limit theorem for the score in this model by analogy with [Kozlov 1985] since this is actually Wiener soccer on a torus due to the symmetry. In such a model the variance of the score increases as fast as \( T \) and the limiting distribution turns out to be Gaussian. However there is no such explicit formula for the limiting variance as we have in the suggested model of planar Wiener soccer.

During the last few years, several variants of P. Lévy’s formula for the stochastic area of complex Brownian motion have been obtained. These are of interest in various domains of applied probability, particularly in relation to polymer studies. The method used by most authors is the diagonalization procedure of Paul Lévy.

Here we derive one such variant of Lévy’s formula, due to Chan, Dean, Jansons and Rogers, via a change of probability method, which reduces the computation of Laplace transforms of Brownian quadratic functionals to the computations of the means and variances of some adequate Gaussian variables.

We then show that with the help of linear algebra and invariance properties of the distribution of Brownian motion, we are able to derive simply three other variants of Lévy’s formula.

Using Bessel processes, one can solve several open problems involving the integral of an exponential of Brownian motion. This point will be illustrated with three examples. The first one is a formula for the Laplace transform of an Asian option which is “out of the money.” The second example concerns volatility misspecification in portfolio insurance strategies, when the stochastic volatility is represented by the Hull and White model. The third one is the valuation of perpetuities or annuities under stochastic interest rates within the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross framework. Moreover, without using time changes or Bessel processes, but only simple probabilistic methods, we obtain further results about Asian options: the computation of the moments of all orders of an arithmetic average of geometric Brownian motion; the property that, in contrast with most of what has been written so far, the Asian option may be more expensive than the standard option (e.g., options on currencies or oil spreads); and a simple, closed-form expression of the Asian option price when the option is “in the money,” thereby illuminating the impact on the Asian option price of the revealed underlying asset price as time goes by. This formula has an interesting resemblance with the Black–Scholes formula, even though the comparison cannot be carried too far.

Consider \( (X_t \), \( t\geq 0) \) a one-dimensional, or \( d \)-dimensional Brownian motion, or \( d \)-dimensional Bessel process, starting from 0, and let \( a \) and \( b \) be two random times with \( a \lt b \), almost surely. One finds, in the literature, a number of examples of such random couples \( (a,b) \) such that the law of the process \[ X_t^{[a,b]}\equiv \frac{1}{\sqrt{b-a}}X_{a+t(b-a)},\qquad t\leq 1, \] which is the transform of \( X \) by random Brownian scaling on the interval \( [a,b] \), is absolutely continuous with respect to the law of \( (X_t \), \( t\leq 1) \), or the law of another interesting process \( (Y_t \), \( t\leq 1) \), with a particularly simple density. In the following notes, I shall

present a list of such results; this is done in Section 1;

show how these absolute continuity results may be applied to give a deep insight into P. Lévy’s arc sine law for Brownian motion; this is done in Section 3;

A model is proposed for a decreasing sequence of random variables \( (V_1 \), \( V_2 \), \( \dots) \) with \( \sum_n V_n = 1 \), which generalizes the Poisson–Dirichlet distribution and the distribution of ranked lengths of excursions of a Brownian motion or recurrent Bessel process. Let \( V_n \) be the length of the \( n \)th longest component interval of \( [0,1]\backslash Z \), where \( Z \) is an a.s. non-empty random closed of \( (0,\infty) \) of Lebesgue measure 0, and \( Z \) is self-similar, i.e., \( cZ \) has the same distribution as \( Z \) for every \( c \geq 0 \). Then for \( 0 \leq a \lt b \leq 1 \) the expected number of \( n \)’s such that \( V_n \in (a,b) \) equals \[ \int_a^b v^{-1} F(dv) \] where the structural distribution \( F \) is identical to the distribution of \[ 1-\sup(Z\cap [0,1]) .\] Then \( F(dv) = f(v)\,dv \) where \( (1-v)f(v) \) is a decreasing function of \( v \), and every such probability distribution \( F \) on \( [0,1] \) can arise from this construction.

In his fundamental paper [1971], Itô showed how to construct a Poisson point process of excursions of a strong Markov process \( X \) over time intervals when \( X \) is away from a recurrent point a of its statespace. The point process is parameterized by the local time process of \( X \) at \( a \). Each point of the excursion process is a path in a suitable space of possible excursions of \( X \), starting at \( a \) at time 0, and returning to \( a \) for the first time at some strictly positive time \( \zeta \), called the lifetime of the excursion. The intensity measure of the Poisson process of excursions is a \( \sigma \)-finite measure on the space of excursions, known as Itô’s excursion law. Accounts of Itô’s theory of excursions can now be found in several textbooks [Rogers and Williams 1987; Revuz and Yor 1994; Blumenthal 1992]. His theory has also been generalized to excursions of Markov processes away from a set of states [Maisonneuve 1975; Getoor and Sharpe 1982; Blumenthal 1992] and to excursions of stationary, not necessarily Markovian processes [Pitman 1986].

Barrier options have become increasingly popular over the last few years. Less expensive than standard options, they may provide the appropriate hedge in a number of risk management strategies. In the case of a single-barrier option, the valuation problem is not very difficult (see [Merton 1973] and [Goldman et al. 1979]). the situation where the option gets knocked out when the underlying instrument hits either of two well-defined boundaries is less straightforward. Kunitomo and Ikeda [1992] provide a pricing formula expressed as the sum of an infinite series whose convergence is studied through numerical procedures and suggested to be rapid. We follow a methodology which proved quite successful in the case of Asian options (see Geman and Yor [1992, 1993]) and which has its roots in some fundamental properties of Brownian motion. This methodology permits the derivation of a simple expression of the Laplace transform of the double-barrir price with respect to its maturity date. the inversion of the Laplace transform using techniques developed by Geman and Eydeland [1995], is then fairly easy to perform.

In this paper we study a new kind of option, called hereinafter a Parisian barrier option. This option is the following variant of the so-called barrier option: a down-and-out barrier option becomes worthless as soon as a barrier is reached, whereas a down-and-out Parisian barrier option is lost by the owner if the underlying asset reaches a prespecified level and remains constantly below this level for a time interval longer than a fixed number, called the window. Properties of durations of Brownian excursions play an essential role. We also study another kind of option, called here a cumulative Parisian option, which becomes worthless if the total time spent below a certain level is too long.

The two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution, denoted \( \textrm{PD}(\alpha,\theta) \) is a probability distribution on the set of decreasing positive sequences with sum 1. The usual Poisson–Dirichlet distribution with a single parameter \( \theta \), introduced by Kingman, is \( \textrm{PD}(0,\theta) \). Known properties of \( \textrm{PD}(0,\theta) \), including the Markov chain description due to Vershik, Shmidt and Ignatov, are generalized to the two-parameter case. The size-biased random permutation of \( \textrm{PD}(\alpha,\theta) \) is a simple residual allocation model proposed by Engen in the context of species diversity, and rediscovered by Perman and the authors in the study of excursions of Brownian motion and Bessel processes. For \( 0\lt \alpha\lt 1 \), \( \textrm{PD}(\alpha,0) \) is the asymptotic distribution of ranked lengths of excursions of a Markov chain away from a state whose recurrence time distribution is in the domain of attraction of a stable law of index \( \alpha \). Formulae in this case trace back to work of Darling, Lamperti and Wendel in the 1950s and 1960s. The distribution of ranked lengths of excursions of a one-dimensional Brownian motion is \( \textrm{PD}(1/2,0) \), and the corresponding distribution for a Brownian bredge is \( \textrm{PD}(1/2,1/2) \). The \( \textrm{PD}(\alpha,0) \) and \( \textrm{PD}(\alpha,\alpha) \) distributions admit a similar interpretation in terms of the ranked lengths of excursions of a semistable Markov process whose zero set is the range of a stable subordinator of index \( \alpha \).

We study the extraordinarily large and small values of the local time of iterated Brownian motion. It is known that the local time has exponential moments for deterministic times. We prove that, taken at appropriate random times, the local time has finite \( \alpha \)-th moment if and only if \( \alpha \lt 2/3 \). We also investigate the almost sure lower asymptotics of both the local time at a fixed level and the maximum local time. The critical rate functions for these two processes are obtained, which improves previous results of Csáki et al. [1996]. Our approach essentially relies on Ray–Knight theorems and the general theory of stochastic calculus, notably some refined martingale inequalities.

Results are obtained regarding the distribution of the ranked lengths of component intervals in the complement of the random set of times when a recurrent Markov process returns to its starting point. Various martingales are described in terms of the Lévy measure of the Poisson point process of interval lengths on the local time scale. The martingales derived from the zero set of a one-dimensional diffusion are related to martingales studied by Azéma and Rainer. Formulae are obtained which show how the distribution of interval lengths is affected when the underlying process is subjected to a Girsanov transoformation. In particular, results for the zero set of an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process or a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross process are derived from results for a Brownian motion or recurrent Bessel process, when the zero set is the range of a stable subordinator.

Catastrophe insurance derivatives (Futures and options) were introduced in December 1992 by the Chicago Board of Trade in order to offer insurers new ways of hedging their underwriting risk. Only CAT options and combinations of options such as call spreads are traded today, and the ISO index has been replaced by the PCS index. Otherwise, the economic goal of these instruments continues to be for insurers an alternative to reinsurance and for portfolio managers a new class of assets to invest in.

The pricing methodology of these derivatives relies on some crucial elements:

the choice of the stochastic modelling of the aggregate reported claim index dynamics (since the terminal value of this index defines the pay-off of the CAT options);
the decision of a financial versus actuarial approach to the valuation;
the number of sources of randomness in the model and the determination of a “martingale measure” for insurance and reinsurance instruments.

We represent in this paper the dynamics of the aggregate claim index by the sum of a geometric Brownian motion which accounts for the randomness in the reporting of the claims and a Poisson process which accounts for the occurrence of catastrophes (only catastrophic claims are incorporated in the index). Geman [1994] and Cummins and Geman [1995] took this modelling for the instantaneous claim process. Our choice here is closer to the classical actuarial representation while preserving the quasi-completeness of insurance derivative markets obtained by applying the Delbaen and Haezendonck [1989] methodology to the class of layers of reinsurance replicating the call spreads. Moreover, we obtain semi-analytical solutions for the CAT options and call spreads by extending to the jump-diffusion case the method of the Laplace transform and stochastic time changes introduced in Geman and Yor [1993, 1996] in order to price financial path-dependent options through the properties of excursion theory.

The aim of this note is to study the distribution and the asymptotic behavior of the exponential functional \[ A_t := \int_0^t e^{\xi_s}\,ds ,\] where \( (\xi_s \), \( s\geq 0) \) denotes a Lévy process. When \( A_{\infty} \lt \infty \), we show that in most cases, the law of \( A_{\infty} \) is a solution of an integro-differential equation; moreover, this law is characterized by its integral moments. When the process \( \xi \) is asymptotically \( \alpha \)-stable, we prove that \( t^{-1/\alpha}\log A_t \) converges in law, as \( t\to\infty \), to the supremum of an \( \alpha \)-stable Lévy process; in particular, if \( \mathbb{E}[\xi_1] \gt 0 \), then \( \alpha = 1 \) and \( (1/t)\log A_t \) converges almost surely to \( \mathbb{E}[\xi_1] \). Eventually, we use Girsanov’s transform to give the explicit behavior of \[ \mathbb{E}[(a + A_t(\xi))^{-1}] \] as \( t\to\infty \), where \( a \) is a constant, and deduce from this the rate of decay of the tail of the distribution of the maximum of a diffusion process in a random Lévy environment.

There has been some interest in the literature in Brownian motion perturbed at its maximum; that is a process \( (X_t \); \( t\geq 0) \) satisfying \[ X_t = B_t + \alpha M_t^X, \] where \[ M_t^X = \sup_{0\leq s\leq t} X_s ,\] and \( (B_t \); \( t\geq 0) \) is Brownian motion issuing from zero. The parameter \( \alpha \) must satisfy \( \alpha \lt 1 \). For example arc-sine laws and Ray–Knight theorems have been obtained for this process; see [Carmona et al. 1994; Werner 1995; Doney 1998]. Our initial aim was to identify a process which could be considered as the process \( X \) conditioned to stay positive. This new process behaves like the Bessel process of dimension three except when at its maximum and we call it a perturbed three-dimensional Bessel process. We establish Ray–Knight theorems for the local times of this process, up to a first passage time and up to infinity, and observe that these descriptions coincide with those of the local times of two processes that have been considered in [Yor 1992]. We give an explanation for this coincidence by showing that these processes are linked to the perturbed three dimensional Bessel process by space-time transformations and time-reversal.

An identity in distribution due to Knight for Brownian motion is extended in two different ways: first by replacing the supremum of a reflecting Brownian motion by the range of an unreflected Brownian motion and second by replacing the reflecting Brownian motion by a recurrent Bessel process. Both extensions are explained in terms of random Brownian scaling transformations and Brownian excursions. The first extension is related to two different constructions of Itô’s law of Brownian excursions, due to Williams and Bismut, each involving back-to-back splicing of fragments of two independent three-dimensional Bessel processes. Generalizations of both splicing constructions are described, which involve Bessel processes and Bessel bridges of arbitrary positive real dimension.

N. Tsilevich, A. Vershik, and M. Yor: Quasi-invariance of the gamma process and multiplicative properties of the Poisson–Dirichlet measures. Preprint, 1999. techreport

In this paper we describe new fundamental properties of the law \( P_{\Gamma} \) of the classical gamma process and related properties of the Poisson–Dirichlet measures \( PD(\theta) \). We prove the quasi-invariance of the measure \( P_{\Gamma} \) with respect to an infinite-dimensional multiplicative group and the Markov–Krein identity as corollaries of the formula for the Laplace transform of \( P_{\Gamma} \). The quasi-invariance of the measure \( P_{\Gamma} \) allows us to obtain new quasi-invariance properties of the measure \( PD(\theta) \). The corresponding invariance properties hold for \( \sigma \)-finite analogues of \( P_{\Gamma} \) and \( PD(\theta) \). We also show that the measure \( P_{\Gamma} \) can be considered as a limit of measures corresponding to the \( \alpha \)-stable Lévy processes when parameter \( \alpha \) tends to zero. Our approach is based on simultaneous considering the gamma process (especially its Laplace transform) and its simplicial part–the Poisson–Dirichlet measures.

We study fundamental properties of the gamma process and their relation to various topics such as Poisson–Dirichlet measures and stable processes. We prove the quasi-invariance of the gamma process with respect to a large group of linear transformations. We also show that it is a renormalized limit of the stable processes and has an equivalent sigma-finite measure (quasi-Lebesgue) with important invariance properties. New properties of the gamma process can be applied to the Poisson–Dirichlet measures. We also emphasize the deep similarity between the gamma process and the Brownian motion. The connection of the above topics makes more transparent some old and new facts about stable and gamma processes, and the Poisson–Dirichlet measures.

The distribution of the sequence of ranked maximum and minimum values attained during excursions of a standard Brownian bridge \( (B^{\mathrm{br}}_t \), \( 0\leq t\leq 1) \) is described. The height \( M^{\mathrm{br}+}_j \) of the \( j \)-th highest maximum over a positive excursion of the bridge has the same distribution as \( M^{\mathrm{br}+1}_1/j \), where the distribution of \[ M^{\mathrm{br}+1}_1=\sup_{0\lt t\lt 1}B^{\mathrm{br}}_t \] is given by Lévy’s formula \[ P(M^{\mathrm{br}+}_1 \gt x) = e^{-2x^2} .\] The probability density of the height \( M^{\mathrm{br}}_j \) of the \( j \)th highest maximum of excursions of the reflecting Brownian bridge \( (|B^{\mathrm{br}}_t| \), \( 0\leq t\leq 1) \) is given by a modification of the known \( \theta \)-function series for the density of \[ M^{\mathrm{br}}_1 = \sup_{0\leq t\leq 1}|B^{\mathrm{br}}_t| .\] These results are obtained from a more general description of the distribution of ranked values of a homogeneous functional of excursions of the standardized bridge of a self-similar recurrent Markov process.

Consider the radial projection onto the unit sphere of the path a \( d \)-dimensional Brownian motion \( W \), started at the center of the sphere and run for unit time. Given the occupation measure \( \mu \) of this projected path, what can be said about the terminal point \( W(1) \), or about the range of the original path? In any dimension, for each Borel set \( A \) in \( S^{d-1} \), the conditional probability that the projection of \( W(1) \) is in \( A \) given \( \mu(A) \) is just \( \mu(A) \). Nevertheless, in dimension \( d\geq 3 \), both the range and the terminal point of \( W \) can be recovered with probability 1 from \( \mu \). In particular, for \( d\geq 3 \) the conditional law of the projection of \( W(1) \) given \( \mu \) is not \( \mu \). In dimension 2 we conjecture that the projection of \( W(1) \) cannot be recovered almost surely from \( \mu \), and show that the conditional law of the projection of \( W(1) \) given \( \mu \) is not \( \mu \).

We define a one-parameter family \( \mathscr{L}_{\theta} \) of sigma-finite (finite on compact sets) measures in the space of distributions. These measures are equivalent to the laws of the classical gamma processes and invariant under an infinite-dimensional abelian group of certain positive multiplicators. This family of measures was first discovered by Gelfand–Graev–Vershik in the context of the representation theory of current groups; here we describe it in direct terms using some remarkable properties of the gamma processes. We show that the class of multiplicative measures coincides with the class of zero-stable measures which is introduced in the paper. We give also a new construction of the canonical representation of the current group \( \operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})^X \).

We present some absolute continuity relationships between the probability laws of a geometric Brownian motion \( e^{(\mu)} = (e_t^{(\mu)} \), \( t\geq 0 ) \) and its images by certain transforms \( T_a \) involving \( e^{(\mu)} \) and its quadratic variation. These results are derived from, and shown to be closely related to, our previous results about the generalized Dufresne’s identity and the exponential type extensions of Pitman’s \( M {-} X \) theorem for \( X \), a Brownian motion with constant drift \( \mu \), and its one-sided supremum \( M \). These absolute continuity results are then shown to be particular cases of those by Ramer–Kusuoka for non-linear transformations of the Wiener space and by Buckdahn–Föllmer for solutions of certain stochastic differential equations with anticipative drifts.

We discuss Brownian analogues of a celebrated theorem, due to Burke, which states that the output of a (stable, stationary) M/M/1 queue is Poisson, and the related notion of quasireversibility. A direct analogue of Burke’s theorem for the Brownian queue was stated and proved by Harrison (Brownian Motion and Stochastic Flow Systems, Wiley, New York, 1985). We present several different proofs of this and related results. We also present an analogous result for geometric functionals of Brownian motion. By considering series of queues in tandem, these theorems can be applied to a certain class of directed percolation and directed polymer models. It was recently discovered that there is a connection between this directed percolation model and the GUE random matrix ensemble. We extend and give a direct proof of this connection in the two-dimensional case. In all of the above, reversibility plays a key role.

Let \( \xi \) be a subordinator with Laplace exponent \( \Phi \), \[ I=\int_0^{\infty}\exp(-\xi_s)\,ds \] the so-called exponential functional, and \( X \) (respectively, \( \hat{X} \)) the self-similar Markov process obtained from \( \xi \) (respectively, from \( \hat{\xi} = -\xi \)) by Lamperti’s transformation. We establish the existence of a unique probability measure \( \rho \) on \( ]0,\infty[ \) with \( k \)-th moment given for every \( k\in\mathbb{N} \) by the product \( \Phi(1)\cdots\Phi(k) \), and which bears some remarkable connections with the preceding variables. In particular we show that if \( R \) is an independent random variable with law \( \rho \) then \( IR \) is a standard exponential variable, that the function \( t\to\mathbb{E}(1/X_t) \) coincides with the Laplace transform of \( \rho \), and that \( \rho \) is the 1-invariant distribution of the sub-markovian process \( \hat{X} \). A number of known factorizations of an exponential variable are shown to be of the preceding form \( IR \) for various subordinators \( \xi \).

In this paper, distributional questions which arise in certain mathematical finance models are studied: the distribution of the integral over a fixed time interval \( [0,T] \) of the exponential of Brownian motion with drift is computed explicitly, with the help of computations previously made by the author for Bessel processes. The moments of this integral are obtained independently and take a particularly simple form. A subordination result involving this integral and previously obtained by Bougerol is recovered and related to an important identity for Bessel functions. When the fixed time \( T \) is replaced by an independent exponential time, the distribution of the integral is shown to be related to last-exit time distributions and the fixed time case is recovered by inverting Laplace transforms.

Stochastic volatility and jumps are viewed as arising from Brownian subordination given here by an independent purely discontinuous process and we inquire into the relation between the realized variance or quadratic variation of the process and the time change. The class of models considered encompasses a wide range of models employed in practical financial modeling. It is shown that in general the time change cannot be recovered from the composite process and we obtain its conditional distribution in a variety of cases. The implications of our results for working with stochastic volatility models in general is also described. We solve the recovery problem, i.e., the identification the conditional law for a variety of cases, the simplest solution being for the gamma time change when this conditional law is that of the first hitting time process of Brownian motion with drift attaining the level of the variation of the time changed process. We also introduce and solve in certain cases the problem of stochastic scaling. A stochastic scalar is a subordinator that recovers the law of a given subordinator when evaluated at an independent and time scaled copy of the given subordinator. These results are of importance in comparing price quality delivered by alternate exchanges.

We define a sequence of mappings \[ \Gamma_k:D_0(\mathbb{R}_+)^k\to D_0(\mathbb{R}_+)^k \] and prove the following result: Let \( N_1,\dots \), \( N_n \) be the counting functions of independent Poisson processes on \( \mathbb{R}_+ \) with respective intensities \( \mu_1 \lt{} \) \( \mu_2 \lt \cdots \lt \mu_n \). The conditional law of \( N_1,\dots \), \( N_n \), given that \[ N_1(t)\leq \cdots \leq N_n(t)\quad\textrm{for all } t\geq 0, \] is the same as the unconditional law of \( \Gamma_n(N) \). From this, we deduce the corresponding results for independent Poisson processes of equal rates and for independent Brownian motions (in both of these cases the conditioning is in the sense of Doob). This extends a recent observation, independently due to Baryshnikov [2001] and Gravner, Tracy and Widom [2001], which relates the law of a certain functional of Brownian motion to that of the largest eigenvalue of a GUE random matrix.

Let \( (B_t \); \( t\geq 0) \), resp. \( ((X_t,Y_t) \); \( t\geq 0) \), be a one, resp. two, dimensional Brownian motion started at 0. Let \( T \) be a stopping time such that \( (B_{t\wedge T} \); \( t\geq 0) \), resp. \( (X_{t \wedge T} \); \( t\geq 0) \), \( (Y_{t\wedge T} \); \( t \geq 0)) \), is uniformly integrable. The main results obtained in the paper are:

if \( T \) and \( B_T \) are independent and \( T \) has all exponential moments, then \( T \) is constant.
If \( X_T \) and \( Y_T \) are independent and have all exponential moments, then \( X_T \) and \( Y_T \) are Gaussian.

We also give a number of examples of stopping times \( T \), with only some exponential moments, such that \( T \) and \( B_T \) are independent, and similarly for \( X_T \) and \( Y_T \). We also exhibit bounded non-constant stopping times \( T \) such that \( X_T \) and \( Y_T \) are independent and Gaussian.

We consider a two-dimensional random walk that moves in the horizontal direction on the half-plane \( \{y\gt x\} \) and in the vertical direction on the half-plane \( \{y\leq x\} \). The limit behavior (as the time interval between two steps and the size of each step tend to zero) of this “horizontal-vertical” random walk is investigated. In order to solve this problem, we prove an extension of the Donsker–Prokhorov invariance principle. The extension states that the discrete-time stochastic integrals with respect to the appropriately renormalized one-dimensional random walk converge in distribution to the corresponding stochastic integral with respect to a Brownian motion. This extension enables us to construct a discrete-time approximation of the local time of a Brownian motion. We also provide discrete-time approximations of skew Brownian motions.

The infinitely divisible distributions on \( \mathbb{R}^+ \) of random variables \( C_t \), \( S_t \) and \( T_t \), with Laplace transforms \[ \Bigl(\frac{1}{\cosh\sqrt{2\lambda}}\Bigr)^t, \quad \Bigl(\frac{\sqrt{2\lambda}}{\sinh\sqrt{2\lambda}}\Bigr)^t, \quad \textrm{and} \quad \Bigl(\frac{\tanh\sqrt{2\lambda}}{\sqrt{2\lambda}}\Bigr)^t \] respectively, are characterized for various \( t \gt 0 \) in a number of different ways: by simple relations between their moments and cumulants, by corresponding relations between the distributions and their Lévy measures, by recursions for their Mellin transforms, and by differential equations satisfied by their Laplace transforms. Some of these results are interpreted probabilistically via known appearances of these distributions for \( t=1 \) or 2 in the description of the laws of various functionals of Brownian motion and Bessel processes, such as the heights and lengths of excursions of a one-dimensional Brownian motion. The distributions of \( C_1 \) and \( S_2 \) are also known to appear in the Mellin representations of two important functions in analytic number theory, the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet \( L \)-function associated with the quadratic character modulo 4. Related families of infinitely divisible laws, including the gamma, logistic and generalized hyperbolic secant distributions, are derived from \( S_t \) and \( C_t \) by operations such as Brownian subordination, exponential tilting, and weak limits, and characterized in various ways.

Denote by \( \alpha_t^{(\mu)} \) the probability law of \[ A_t^{(\mu)} = \int_0^t\exp\bigl(2(B_s + \mu s)\bigr)ds \] for a Brownian motion \( \{B_s \), \( s\geq 0\} \). It is well known that \( \alpha_t^{(\mu)} \) is of interest in a number of domains, e.g., mathematical finance, diffusion processes in random environments, stochastic analysis on hyperbolic spaces and so on, but that it has complicated expressions. Recently, Dufresne obtained some remarkably simple expressions for \( \alpha_t^{(0)} \) and \( \alpha_t^{(1)} \), as well as an equally remarkable relationship between \( \alpha_t^{(\mu)} \) and \( \alpha_t^{(\nu)} \) for two different drifts \( \mu \) and \( \nu \). In this paper, hinging on previous results about \( \alpha_t^{(\mu)} \), we give different proofs of Dufresne’s results and present extensions of them for the processes \( \{A_t^{(\mu)} \), \( t\geq 0\} \).

A classical result, due to Lamperti, establishes a one-to-one correspondence between a class of strictly positive Markov processes that are self-similar, and the class of one-dimensional Lévy processes. This correspondence is obtained by suitably time-changing the exponential of the Lévy process. In this paper we generalise Lamperti’s result to processes in \( n \) dimensions. For the representation we obtain, it is essential that the same time-change be applied to all coordinates of the processes involved. Also for the statement of the main result we need the proper concept of self-similarity in higher dimensions, referred to as multi-self-similarity in the paper.

The special case where the Lévy process \( \xi \) is standard Brownian motion in \( n \) dimensions is studied in detail. There are also specific comments on the case where \( \xi \) is an \( n \)-dimensional compound Poisson process with drift.

Finally, we present some results concerning moment sequences, obtained by studying the multi-self-similar processes that correspond to \( n \)-dimensional subordinators.

Three processes reflecting persistence of volatility are initially formulated by evaluating three Lévy processes at a time change given by the integral of a mean-reverting square root process. The model for the mean-reverting time change is then generalized to include non-Gaussian models that are solutions to Ornstein–Uhlenbeck equations driven by one-sided discontinuous Lévy processes permitting correlation with the stock. Positive stock price processes are obtained by exponentiating and mean correcting these processes, or alternatively by stochastically exponentiating these processes. The characteristic functions for the log price can be used to yield option prices via the fast Fourier transform. In general mean-corrected exponentiation performs better than employing the stochastic exponential. It is observed that the mean-corrected exponential model is not a martingale in the filtration in which it is originally defined. This leads us to formulate and investigate the important property of martingale marginals where we seek martingales in altered filtrations consistent with the one-dimensional marginal distributions of the level of the process at each future date.

Bessel processes play an important role in financial mathematics because of their strong relation to financial models such as geometric Brownian motion or Cox–Ingersoll–Ross processes. We are interested in the first time Bessel processes and, more generally, radial Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes hit a given barrier. We give explicit expressions of the Laplace transforms of first hitting times by (squared) radial Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes, that is, Cox–Ingersoll–Ross processes. As a natural extension we study squared Bessel processes and squared Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes with negative dimensions or negative starting points and derive their properties.

For functionals \( S=S(\omega) \) of the Brownian motion \( B \), we propose a method for finding stochastic integral representations based on the Itô formula for the stochastic integral associated with \( B \). As an illustration of the method, we consider functionals of the “maximal” type: \( S_T \), \( S_{T_{-a}} \), \( S_{g_T} \), and \( S_{\theta_T} \), where \[ S_T=\max_{t\leq T}B_t, \qquad S_{T_{-a}}=\max_{t\leq T_{-a}}B_t \] with \( T_{-a}=\inf\{t \gt 0\mid B_t=-a\} \), \( a\gt 0 \), and \[ S_{g_T}=\max_{t\leq g_T} B_t, \qquad S_{\theta_T}=\max_{t\leq \theta_T}B_t ,\] \( g_T \) and \( \theta_T \) are non-Markov times: \( g_T \) is the time of the last zero of Brownian motion on \( [0,T] \) and \( \theta_T \) is a time when the Brownian motion achieves its maximal value on \( [0,T] \).

Andreï N. Kolmogorov (1903–1987) fut l’un des plus brillants mathématiciens du XXe siècle. Esprit exceptionnellement profond et original, il savait poser un regard neuf sur chacun des sujets qu’il abordait, pour bien souvent en changer radicalement le paysage. À l’occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, une vingtaine de mathématiciens de renom ont voulu lui rendre hommage en revisitant son oeuvre des plus foisonnantes. Qu’on en juge: séries de Fourier, logique, probabilités, statistique, topologie, systèmes dynamiques, complexité, etc., sans oublier les résultats obtenus en écologie théorique ou en théorie algorithmique! Destiné aux étudiants comme aux chercheurs, cet ouvrage présente en outre diverses applications marquantes et très récentes des méthodes de Kolmogorov - parfois dans des domaines inattendus comme les réseaux de neurones ou le théorème de Godel–qui passionneront tous les amateurs d’idées mathématiques. Il fait suite à L’héritage de Kolmogorov en physique publié dans la même collection en 2003.

A general methodology allowing to solve the Skorokhod stopping problem for positive functionals of Brownian excursions, with the help of Brownian local time, is developed. The stopping times we consider have the following form: \[ T_{\mu} = \inf\{t\gt 0 \mid F_t\geq\phi_{\mu}^F(L_t)\} .\] As an application, the Skorokhod embedding problem for a number of functionals \( (F_t \), \( t\geq 0) \), including the age (length) and the maximum (height) of excursions, is solved. Explicit formulae for the corresponding stopping times \( T_{\mu} \), such that \( F_{T_{\mu}}\sim\mu \), are given. It is shown that the function \( \phi_{\mu}^F \) is the same for the maximum and for the age, \( \phi_{\mu} = \psi_{\mu}^{-1} \), where \[ \psi_{\mu}(x) = \int_{[0,x]}(y/\overline{\mu}(y)) \,d\mu(y) .\] The joint law of \( (g_{T_{\mu}} \), \( T_{\mu} \), \( L_{T_{\mu}}) \), in the case of the age functional, is characterized. Examples for specific measures \( \mu \) are discussed. Finally, a randomized solution to the embedding problem for Azéma martingale is deduced. Throughout the article, two possible approaches, using excursions and martingale theories, are presented in parallel.

D. Williams’ path decomposition and Pitman’s representation theorem for \( BES(3) \) are expressions of some deep relations between reflecting Brownian motion and the 3-dimensional Bessel process.

In [Ph. Carmona et al., Stochastic Process. Appl. 7 (1999) 323–333], we presented an attempt to relate better reflecting Brownian motion and the 2-dimensional Bessel process, using space and time changes related to the Ray–Knight theorems on local times, in the manner of Jeulin [Lect. Notes Math., vol. 1118, Springer, Berlin, 1985] and Biane–Yor [Bull. Sci. Math. 2ème Sér. 111 (1987) 23–101].

Here, we characterize the law of a triplet linked to the perturbed Brownian motion which naturally arises in [Ph. Carmona et al., Stochastic Proc. Appl. 7 (1999) 323–333], and we point out its relations with Bessel processes of several dimensions.

The results provide some new understanding of the generalizations of Lévy’s arc sine law for perturbed Brownian motions previously obtained by the second author.

the integral \[ \int_0^{\infty}\phi(\omega,s)g(s)\,ds \] is well defined and finite (at least, as a limit in probability) for every deterministic and square integrable function \( g \), and
\( \phi \) does not belong to \( L^2([0,\infty) \), \( ds) \) with probability one.

In particular, the second example is related to the existence of principal values of Brownian local times. Our key tools are Hardy’s inequality, some semimartingale representation results for Brownian local times due to Ray, Knight and Jeulin, and the reformulation of certain theorems of Jeulin–Yor [1979] and Cherny [2001] in terms of bounded \( L^2 \) operators. We also establish, in the last paragraph, several weak convergence results.

Let \( B(\mu) \) denote a Brownian motion with drift \( \mu \). In this paper we study two perpetual integral functionals of \( B(\mu) \). The first one, introduced and investigated by Dufresne in [1990], is \[ \int_0^{\infty}\exp(2B_s^{(\mu)})\,ds,\quad \mu\lt 0. \] It is known that this functional is identical in law with the first hitting time of 0 for a Bessel process with index \( \mu \). In particular, we analyze the following reflected (or one-sided) variants of Dufresne’s functional \[ \int_0^{\infty}\exp(2B_s^{(\mu)})\,\mathbf{1}_{\{B_s^{(\mu)}\gt 0\}}\,ds, \] and \[ \int_0^{\infty}\exp(2B_s^{(\mu)})\,\mathbf{1}_{\{B_s^{(\mu)}\lt 0\}}\,ds, \] We shall show in this paper how these functionals can also be connected to hitting times. Our second functional, which we call Dufresne’s translated functional, is \[ \hat{D}_c^{(\nu)} := \int_0^{\infty}\bigl(c+\exp(B_s^{(\nu)}) \bigr)^{-2}ds, \] where \( c \) and \( \mu \) are positive. This functional has all its moments finite, in contrast to Dufresne’s functional which has only some finite moments. We compute explicitly the Laplace transform of \( \hat{D}_c^{(\nu)} \) in the case \( \nu = 1/2 \) (other parameter values do not seem to allow explicit solutions) and connect this variable, as well as its reflected variants, to hitting times.

The rapidly growing hedge fund industry has provided individual and institutional investors with new investment vehicles and styles of management. It has also brought forward a new form of performance contract: hedge fund managers receive incentive fees which are typically a fraction of the fund net asset value (NAV) above its starting level–a rule known as high water mark. Options on hedge funds are becoming increasingly popular, in particular because they allow investors with limited capital to get exposure to this new asset class. The goal of the paper is to propose a valuation of plain-vanilla options on hedge funds which accounts for the high water market rule. Mathematically, this valuation leads to an interesting use of local times of Brownian motion. Option prices are numerically computed by inversion of their Laplace transforms.

Let \( X \) be a linear diffusion and \( f \) a non-negative, Borel measurable function. We are interested in finding conditions on \( X \) and \( f \) which imply that the perpetual integral functional \[ I^X_{\infty}(f) := \int_0^{\infty} f(X_t) \,dt \] is identical in law with the first hitting time of a point for some other diffusion. This phenomenon may often be explained using random time change. Because of some potential applications in mathematical finance, we are considering mainly the case when \( X \) is a Brownian motion with drift \( \mu \gt 0 \) denoted \( (B^{(\mu)}_t \); \( t\geq 0) \), but it is obvious that the method presented is more general. We also review the known examples and give new ones. In particular, results concerning one-sided functionals \[ \int_0^{\infty} f(B^{(\mu)}_t)\,\mathbf{1}_{\{B^{(\mu)}_t \lt 0\}} dt \qquad \mathrm{ and } \qquad \int_0^{\infty} f(B^{(\mu)}_t)\,\mathbf{1}_{\{B^{(\mu)}_t \gt 0\}} dt \] are presented. This approach generalizes the proof, based on the random time change techniques, of the fact that the Dufresne functional (this corresponds to \( f(x) = \exp(-2x) \)), playing quite an important role in the study of geometric Brownian motion, is identical in law with the first hitting time for a Bessel process. Another functional arising naturally in this context is \[ \int_0^{\infty} (a + \exp(B^{(\mu)}_t))^{-2} dt, \] which is seen, in the case \( \mu = 1/2 \), to be identical in law with the first hitting time for a Brownian motion with drift \( \mu = a/2 \). The paper is concluded by discussing how the Feynman–Kac formula can be used to find the distribution of a perpetual integral functional.

To any positive measure \( c \) on \( \mathbb{R}_+ \), such that: \[ \int^{\infty}_0 (x \wedge x^2) \,c(dx) \lt \infty \] we associate an infinitely divisible Wald couple, i.e., a couple of random variables \( (X,H) \) such that \( X \) and \( H \) are infinitely divisible, \( H \geq 0 \), and for any \( \lambda \geq 0 \), \[ E\bigl(e^{\lambda X}\bigr) \cdot E\bigl(e^{-\frac{\lambda^2}{2} H}\bigr)=1 .\] More generally, to a positive measure \( c \) on \( \mathbb{R}_+ \) which satisfies \[ \int_0^{\infty}e^{-\alpha x} x^2 c(dx) \lt \infty \] for every \( \alpha \gt \alpha_0 \), we associate an “Esscher family” of infinitely divisible Wald couples. We give many examples of such Esscher families and we prove that the particular ones which are associated with the gamma and the zeta functions enjoy remarkable properties.

Motivated by asymptotic problems in the theory of empirical processes, and specifically by tests of independence, we study the law of quadratic functionals of the (weighted) Brownian sheet and of the bivariate Brownian bridge on \( [0,1]^2 \). In particular:

we use Fubini-type techniques to establish identities in law with quadratic functionals of other Gaussian processes,
we explicitly calculate the Laplace transform of such functionals by means of Karhunen–Loève expansions,
we prove central and non-central limit theorems in the spirit of Peccati and Yor [Four limit theorems involving quadratic functionals of Brownian motion and Brownian bridge, Asymptotic Methods in Stochastics, American Mathematical Society, Fields Institute Communication Series, 2004, pp. 75–87] and Nualart and Peccati [Central limit theorems for sequences of multiple stochastic integrals, Ann. Probab. 33(1) (2005) 177–193].

Our results extend some classical computations due to Lévy [Wiener’s random function and other Laplacian random functions, in: Second Berkeley Symposium in Probability and Statistics, 1950, pp. 171–186], as well as the formulae recently obtained by Deheuvels and Martynov [Karhunen–Loève expansions for weighted Wiener processes and Brownian bridges via Bessel functions, Progress in Probability, vol. 55, Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel, 2003, pp. 57–93].

A random composition of \( n \) appears when the points of a random closed set \( \tilde{\mathscr{R}}\subset [0,1] \) are used to separate into blocks \( n \) points sampled from the uniform distribution. We study the number of parts \( K_n \) of this composition and other related functionals under the assumption that \[ \tilde{\mathscr{R}} = \phi(S_{\bullet}) ,\] where \( (S_t \), \( t\geq 0) \) is a subordinator and \( \phi:[0,\infty]\to [0,1] \) is a diffeomorphism. We derive the asymptotics of \( K_n \) when the Lévy measure of the subordinator is regularly varying at 0 with positive index. Specializing to the case of exponential function \( \phi(x) = 1-e^{-x} \), we establish a connection between the asymptotics of \( K_n \) and the exponential functional of the subordinator.

For \( \tilde{\mathcal{R}} = 1 - \exp(-\mathcal{R}) \) a random closed set obtained by exponential transformation of the closed range \( \mathcal{R} \) of a subordinator, a regenerative composition of generic positive integer \( n \) is defined by recording the sizes of clusters of \( n \) uniform random points as they are separated by the points of \( \tilde{\mathcal{R}} \). We focus on the number of parts \( K_n \) of the composition when \( \tilde{\mathcal{R}} \) is derived from a gamma subordinator. We prove logarithmic asymptotics of the moments and central limit theorems for \( K_n \) and other functionals of the composition such as the number of singletons, doubletons, etc. This study complements our previous work on asymptotics of these functionals when the tail of the Lévy measure is regularly varying at \( 0+ \).

Let \( (R_t \), \( t\geq 0) \) denote a \( d \)-dimensional Bessel process (\( 0\lt d\lt 2 \)). For every \( t\geq 0 \), we consider the times \[ g_t = \sup\{s\leq t\mid R_s = 0\} \quad\text{and}\quad d_t = \inf\{s\gt t\mid R_s = 0\} ,\] as well as the three sequences: \( (V^n_{g_t} \), \( n\geq 1) \), \( (V^n_t \), \( n\geq 2) \), and \( (V^n_{d_t} \), \( n\geq 2) \), which consist of the lengths of excursions of \( R \) away from 0 before \( g_t \), before \( t \), and before \( d_t \), respectively, each one being ranked by decreasing order.

We obtain a limit theorem concerning each of the laws of these three sequences, as \( t\to\infty \). The result is expressed in terms of a positive, \( \sigma \)-finite measure \( \Pi \) on the set \( \mathscr{S}^{\downarrow} \) of decreasing sequences. \( Pi \) is closely related with the Poisson–Dirichlet laws on \( \mathscr{S}^{\downarrow} \).

In the theory of progressive enlargements of filtrations, the supermartingale \[ Z_t = \mathbf{P}(g\gt t \mid \mathcal{F}_t) \] associated with an honest time \( g \), and its additive (Doob–Meyer) decomposition, play an essential role. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach, using a multiplicative representation for the supermartingale \( Z_t \), based on Doob’s maximal identity. We thus give new examples of progressive enlargements. Moreover, we give, in our setting, a proof of the decomposition formula for martingales, using initial enlargement techniques, and use it to obtain some path decompositions given the maximum or minimum of some processes.

This is the second part of a series of papers on the construction of stochastic integrals of Wiener’s type for the centered \( \delta \)-dimensional Bessel processes (BES(\( \delta \))-processes in short) and their variants. The approach adopted in the present paper is via the Brascamp–Lieb inequality. This method works well for the BES(\( \delta \))-processes, BES(\( \delta \))-bridges with \( \delta \geq 3 \), the Brownian meander and their extensions described by a class of stochastic differential equations, but not for their powers. As we have seen in the first part, another approach via Hardy’s \( L^2 \) inequality is effective for BES(\( \delta \))-processes with \( \delta\geq 1 \) and their powers. The method used in this paper is powerful to establish a family of accurate bounds on the distributions of these Wiener integrals.

Let \( P_0 \) denote the Wiener measure defined on the canonical space \[ \bigl( \Omega = \mathcal{C}(\mathbb{R}_+,\mathbb{R}), \,(X_t)_{t\geq 0}, \,(\mathcal{F}_t)_{t\geq 0} \bigr) ,\] and \( (S_t) \), resp. \( (I_t) \), be the one sided-maximum, resp. minimum, \( (L_t^0) \) the local time at 0, and \( (D_t) \) the number of down-crossings from \( b \) to \( a \) (with \( b \gt a \)). Let \[ f:\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^d\to (0,+\infty) \] be a Borel function, and \( (A_t) \) be a process chosen within the set: \[ \bigl\{(S_t), \,(S_t,t), \,(L_t^0), \,(S_t,I_t,L_t^0), \,(D_t) \bigr\} ,\] which consists of 5 elements. We prove a penalization result: under some suitable assumptions on \( f \), there exists a positive \( ((\mathcal{F}_t) \), \( P_0) \)-martingale \( (M_t^f) \), starting at 1, such that: \begin{equation*}\tag{1} \lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{E_0[1_{\Gamma_s}f(X_t,A_t)]}{E_0[f(X_t,A_t)]} = Q_0^f(\Gamma_s) := E_0[1_{\Gamma_s}M_s^f],\quad \forall\,\Gamma_s\in\mathcal{F}_s,\,s\geq 0. \end{equation*} We determine the law of \( (X_t) \) under the p.m. \( Q_0^f \) defined on \( (\Omega \), \( \mathcal{F}_{\infty}) \) by (1). For the 1st, 3rd and 5th elements of the set, we prove first that \[ Q_0^f(A_{\infty} \lt \infty) = 1 ,\] and more generally \[ Q_0^f(0 \lt g \lt \infty) = 1 \] where \( g = \sup\{s \gt 0 \mid A_s = A_{\infty}\} \) (with the convention \( \sup\emptyset = 0 \)). Secondly, we split the trajectory of \( (X_t) \) in two parts: \( (X_t)_{0\leq t\leq g} \) and \( (X_{t+g})_{t\geq 0} \), and we describe their laws under \( Q_0^f \), conditionally on \( A_{\infty} \). For the 2nd and 4th elements, a similar result holds replacing \( A_{\infty} \) by resp. \( S_{\infty} \), \( S_{\infty} \vee I \).

In this paper, we study a class, depending on a parameter \( k\geq 0 \), of real valued Feller processes \[ X^{(k)} = (X_t^{(k)})_{t\gt 0} ,\] the so called Dunkl processes which are martingales satisfying the Brownian scaling property. These processes are the only martingales whose absolute value is a Bessel process. Moreover, the absolute continuity and intertwining relations valid for some pairs of Bessel processes may be generalized to Dunkl processes. The main result of the paper is a mixed chaotic representation property for the \( L^2 \) space of the martingale \( X^{(k)} \) in terms of its continuous part (which is a Brownian motion) and its purely discontinuous part, a martingale \( \gamma \) with bracket \( \langle\gamma\rangle_t = 2kt \).

In this paper, various conditions are stated, showing that such a construction is possible for a large class of processes indexed by two square integrable Brownian functionals. In particular, some of the results previously obtained for the Bessel processes are thus recovered, and in fact shown to extend to certain processes of the form \[ \sqrt{t}f\left(\frac{R_t}{\sqrt{t}}\right) .\]

The risk-neutral process is modeled by a four parameter self-similar process of independent increments with a self-decomposable law for its unit time distribution. Six different processes in this general class are theoretically formulated and empirically investigated. We show that all six models are capable of adequately synthesizing European option prices across the spectrum of strikes and maturities at a point of time. Considerations of parameter stability over time suggest a preference for two of these models. Currently, there are several option pricing models with 6–10 free parameters that deliver a comparable level of performance in synthesizing option prices. The dimension reduction attained here should prove useful in studying the variation over time of option prices.

The existence and best \( L^2 \)-bounds for the Wiener type integrals \[ \int_0^1 f(s)\,dX_s ,\] where \( X \) ranges through a wide class of Bessel-like centered processes, and \( f \) belongs to \( L^2([0,1]) \), are discussed in terms of Fourier transforms associated with some characteristics of \( X \), thus providing some unification of previous results on this topic obtained by the authors [T.

We present a number of important identities related to the excursion theory of linear diffusions. In particular, excursions straddling an independent exponential time are studied in detail. Letting the parameter of the exponential time tend to zero it is seen that these results connect to the corresponding results for excursions of stationary diffusions (in stationary state). We characterize also the laws of the diffusion prior and posterior to the last zero before the exponential time. It is proved using Krein’s representations that, e.g., the law of the length of the excursion straddling an exponential time is infinitely divisible. As an illustration of the results we discuss the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes.

To prove their formulae for the moments of the characteristic polynomial of the generic matrix of \( U(N) \), Keating and Snaith [2000] (see also Keating [2004]) use Selberg’s integrals as a ‘black box’. In this note, we point out some identities in law which are equivalent to the expressions of Selberg’s integrals and which involve beta, gamma, and normal variables. However, this is a mere probabilistic translation of Selberg’s results, and does not provide an independent proof of them. An outcome of some of these translations is that certain logarithms of (Vandermonde) random discriminants are self-decomposable, which hinges on the self-decomposability of the logarithms of the beta \( (a,b) \) (\( 2a + b \geq 1 \)) and gamma (\( a \gt 0 \)) variables. Such selfdecomposability properties have been of interest in some joint papers with D. Madan.

We present a methodology for extracting information from option prices when the market is viewed as knowledgeable. By expanding the information filtration judiciously and determining conditional characteristic functions for the log of the stock price, we obtain option pricing formulae which when fit to market data may reveal this information. In particular, we consider probing option prices for knowledge of the future stock price, instantaneous volatility, and the asymptotic dividend stream. Additionally the bridge laws developed are also useful for simulation based on stratified sampling that conditions on the terminal values of paths.

Given a pricing kernel we investigate the class of risks that are not priced by this kernel. Risks are random payoffs written on underlying uncertainties that may themselves either be random variables, processes, events or information filtrations. A risk is said to be not priced by a kernel if all derivatives on this risk always earn a zero excess return, or equivalently the derivatives may be priced without a change of measure. We say that such risks are not kernel priced. It is shown that reliance on direct correlation between the risk and the pricing kernel as an indicator for the kernel pricing of a risk can be misleading. Examples are given of risks that are uncorrelated with the pricing kernel but are kernel priced. These examples lead to new definitions for risks that are not kernel priced in correlation terms. Additionally we show that the pricing kernel itself viewed as a random variable is strongly negatively kernel priced implying in particular that all monotone increasing functions of the kernel receive a negative risk premium. Moreover the equivalence class of the kernel under increasing monotone transformations is unique in possessing this property.

We derive \( P(M,t_m) \), the joint probability density of the maximum \( M \) and the time \( t_m \) at which this maximum is achieved, for a class of constrained Brownian motions. In particular, we provide explicit results for excursions, meanders and reflected bridges associated with Brownian motion. By subsequently integrating over \( M \), the marginal density \( P(t_m) \) is obtained in each case in the form of a doubly infinite series. For the excursion and meander, we analyse the moments and asymptotic limits of \( P(t_m) \) in some detail and show that the theoretical results are in excellent accord with numerical simulations. Our primary method of derivation is based on a path-integral technique; however, an alternative approach is also outlined which is founded on certain ‘agreement formulae’ that are encountered more generally in probabilistic studies of Brownian motion processes.

In this article, we propose a probabilistic approach to the study of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix. We recover the Mellin–Fourier transform of such a random polynomial, first obtained by Keating and Snaith in [2000] using a simple recursion formula, and from there we are able to obtain the joint law of its radial and angular parts in the complex plane. In particular, we show that the real and imaginary parts of the logarithm of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix can be represented in law as the sum of independent random variables. From such representations, the celebrated limit theorem obtained by Keating and Snaith in [2000] is now obtained from the classical central limit theorems of probability theory, as well as some new estimates for the rate of convergence and law of the iterated logarithm-type results.

In Section 1, we present a number of classical results concerning the Generalized Gamma Convolution (GGC) variables, their Wiener–Gamma representations, and relation with the Dirichlet processes.

To a GGC variable, one may associate a unique Thorin measure. Let \( G \) a positive r.v. and \( \Gamma_t(G) \) (resp. \( \Gamma_t(1/G) \) the Generalized Gamma Convolution with Thorin measure \( t \)-times the law of \( G \) (resp. the law of \( 1/G \)). In Section 2, we compare the laws of \( \Gamma_t(G) \) and \( \Gamma_t(1/G) \).

In Section 3, we present some old and some new examples of GGC variables, among which the lengths of excursions of Bessel processes straddling an independent exponential time.

Four distribution functions are associated with call and put prices seen as functions of their strike and maturity. The random variables associated with these distributions are identified when the process for moneyness defined as the stock price relative to the forward price is a positive local martingale with no positive jumps that tends to zero at infinity. Results on calls require moneyness to be a continuous martingale as well. It is shown that for puts the distributions in the strike are those for the remaining supremum while for calls, they relate to the remaining infimum. In maturity we see the distribution functions for the last passage times of moneyness to strike.

As in preceding papers in which we studied the limits of penalized 1-dimensional Wiener measures with certain functionals \( \Gamma_t \), we obtain here the existence of the limit, as \( t\to\infty \), of \( d \)-dimensional Wiener measures penalized by a function of the maximum up to time \( t \) of the Brownian winding process (for \( d = 2 \)), or in \( d\geq 2 \) dimensions for Brownian motion prevented to exit a cone before time \( t \). Various extensions of these multidimensional penalisations are studied, and the limit laws are described. Throughout this paper, the skew-product decomposition of \( d \)-dimensional Brownian motion plays an important role.

We give a probabilistic interpretation for the Barnes \( G \)-function which appears in random matrix theory and in analytic number theory in the important moments conjecture due to Keating–Snaith for the Riemann zeta function, via the analogy with the characteristic polynomial of random unitary matrices. We show that the Mellin transform of the characteristic polynomial of random unitary matrices and the Barnes \( G \)-function are intimately related with products and sums of gamma, beta and log-gamma variables. In particular, we show that the law of the modulus of the characteristic polynomial of random unitary matrices can be expressed with the help of products of gamma or beta variables. This leads us to prove some non standard type of limit theorems for the logarithmic mean of the so called generalized gamma convolutions.

To the best of our knowledge this book discusses in a unique way last passage times. The Black–Scholes formula plays a central role in Mathematical Finance; it gives the right price at which buyer and seller can agree with, in the geometric Brownian framework, when strike \( K \) and maturity \( T \) are given. This yields an explicit well-known formula, obtained by Black and Scholes in 1973. The present volume gives another representation of this formula in terms of Brownian last passages times, which, to our knowledge, has never been made in this sense. The volume is devoted to various extensions and discussions of features and quantities stemming from the last passages times representation in the Brownian case such as: past-future martingales, last passage times up to a finite horizon, pseudo-inverses of processes.. They are developed in eight chapters, with complements, appendices and exercises.

We give a representation of the solution for a stochastic linear equation of the form \[ X_t = Y_t + \int_{(0,t]}X_{s^-} \,dZ_s \] where \( Z \) is a càdlàg semimartingale and \( Y \) is a càdlàg adapted process with bounded variation on finite intervals. As an application we study the case where \( Y \) and \( -Z \) are nondecreasing, jointly have stationary increments and the jumps of \( -Z \) are bounded by 1. Special cases of this process are shot-noise processes, growth collapse (additive increase, multiplicative decrease) processes and clearing processes. When \( Y \) and \( Z \) are, in addition, independent Lévy processes, the resulting \( X \) is called a generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process.

Dedicated to Endre Csáki and Pál Révész on the occasion of their 75th birthdays. MR 2772384 Zbl 1274.60251 ArXiv 1012.2038 article

Firstly, we compute the distribution function for the hitting time of a linear time-dependent boundary \( t\mapsto a + bt \), \( a\geq 0 \), \( b\in\mathbb{R} \), by a reflecting Brownian motion. The main tool hereby is Doob’s formula which gives the probability that Brownian motion started inside a wedge does not hit this wedge. Other key ingredients are the time inversion property of Brownian motion and the time reversal property of diffusion bridges. Secondly, this methodology can also be applied for the three-dimensional Bessel process. Thirdly, we consider Bessel bridges from 0 to 0 with dimension parameter \( \delta \gt 0 \) and show that the probability that such a Bessel bridge crosses an affine boundary is equal to the probability that this Bessel bridge stays below some fixed value.

We estimate the mean first time, called the mean rotation time (MRT), for a planar random polymer to wind around a point. This polymer is modeled as a collection of \( n \) rods, each of them being parameterized by a Brownian angle. We are led to study the sum of i.i.d. imaginary exponentials with one dimensional Brownian motions as arguments. We find that the free end of the polymer satisfies a novel stochastic equation with a nonlinear time function. Finally, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the MRT, whose leading order term depends on \( \sqrt{n} \) and, interestingly, depends weakly on the mean initial configuration. Our analytical results are confirmed by Brownian simulations.

The logarithm of SPX is modeled as a Sato process running at a speed proportional to the current level of the VIX. When the logarithm of the VIX is an exponential compound Poisson process with drift one may obtain exact expressions for the prices of equity options taken at an independent exponential maturity. The parameters for the Lévy process are calibrated from VIX options while the parameters for the Sato process driving the stock may be calibrated from market option prices taken at an independent exponential maturity. Results confirm that both the option surface and the VIX time changed Sato process volatilities, skews and term volatility spreads are responsive to the VIX level and the VIX option surface.

Realized variance option and options on quadratic variation normalized to unit expectation are analyzed for the property of monotonicity in maturity for call options at a fixed strike. When this condition holds the risk neutral densities are said to be increasing in the convex order. For Lévy processes such prices decrease with maturity. A time series analysis of squared log returns on the S&P 500 index also reveals such a decrease. If options are priced to a slightly increasing level of acceptability then the resulting risk neutral densities can be increasing in the convex order. Calibrated stochastic volatility models yield possibilities in both directions. Finally we consider modelling strategies guaranteeing an increase in convex order for the normalized quadratic variation. These strategies model instantaneous variance as a normalized exponential of a Lévy process. Simulation studies suggest that other transformations may also deliver an increase in the convex order.

The notion of stochastic processes with proportional increments is introduced. This notion is of general interest as indicated by its relationship with several stochastic processes, as counting processes, Lévy processes, and others, as well as martingales related with these processes. The focus of this article is on the motivation to introduce processes with proportional increments, as instigated by certain characteristics of stopping problems under weak information. We also study some general properties of such processes. These lead to new insights into the mechanism and characterization of Pascal processes. This again will motivate the introduction of more general f-increment processes as well as the analysis of their link with martingales. As a major application we solve the no-information version of the last-arrival problem which was an open problem. Further applications deal with the impact of proportional increments on modelling investment problems, with a new proof of the \( 1/e \)-law of best choice, and with other optimal stopping problems.

Any negative moment of an increasing Lamperti process \( (Y_t \), \( t\geq 0) \) is a completely monotone function of \( t \). This property enticed us to study systematically, for a given Markov process \( (Y_t \), \( t\geq 0) \), the functions \( f \) such that the expectation of \( f(Y_t) \) is a completely monotone function of \( t \). We call these functions temporally completely monotone (for \( Y \)). Our description of these functions is deduced from the analysis made by Ben Saad and Janßen, in a general framework, of a dual notion, that of completely excessive measures. Finally, we illustrate our general description in the cases when \( Y \) is a Lévy process, a Bessel process, or an increasing Lamperti process.

A positive spot rate model driven by a gamma process and correlated with equity is introduced and calibrated via closed forms for the joint characteristic function for the rate \( r \), its integral \( y \) and the logarithm of the stock price \( s \) under the \( T \)-forward measure. The law of the triple \( (r,y,s) \) is expressed as a nonlinear transform of three independent processes, a gamma process, a variance gamma process and a Wiener integral with respect to the Dirichlet process. The generalized Stieltjes transform of the Wiener integral with respect to the Dirichlet process is derived in closed form. Inversion of this transform using Schwarz (2005, The generalized Stieltjes transform and its inverse, Journal of Mathematical Physics, 46(1), doi: 10.1063/1.1825077) makes large step simulations possible. Valuing functions are built and hedged using quantization and high dimensional interpolation methods. The hedging objective is taken to be capital minimization as described by Carr, Madan and Vicente Alvarez (2011, Markets, profits, capital, leverage and returns, Journal of Risk, 14(1), pp. 95–122).

Static and discrete time pricing operators for two price economies are reviewed and then generalized to the continuous time setting of an underlying Hunt process. The continuous time operators define nonlinear partial integro-differential equations that are solved numerically for the three valuations of bid, ask and expectation. The operators employ concave distortions by inducing a probability into the infinitesimal generator of a Hunt process. This probability is then distorted. Two nonlinear operators based on different approaches to truncating small jumps are developed and termed \( QV \) for quadratic variation and \( NL \) for normalized Lévy. Examples illustrate the resulting valuations. A sample book of derivatives on a single underlier is employed to display the gap between the bid and ask values for the book and the sum of comparable values for the components of the book.

Theor. Probab. 28 : 1 (March 2015), pp. 223–230. MR 3320966 Zbl 1327.60160 article

Projection properties of the future infimum of a transient Bessel process \( R_{(+)} \) with dimension \( d_{(+)} = 2(1+ \alpha) \) (\( \alpha \in (0,1) \)) as well as the definition of the local time \( (L_t) \) of a recurrent Bessel process \( R_{(+)} \) with dimension \( d_{(+)} = 2(1 - \alpha) \) as the compensator of \( (R_{(+)})^{2 \alpha} \) may be seen to play some hidden but quite efficient role to obtain several integral representation formulae for the excursion theory of the \( R_{(+)} \) process away from 0. The precise formulae, which involve simple universal constants, are quite useful when dealing with the whole family of Bessel processes for dimensions between 0 and 2 (i.e., the reflecting case) and between 2 and 4 (i.e., the transient case).

We extend the Rothschild and Stiglitz [1970] notion of increasing risk to families of random variables and in this way link their approach to the concept of stochastic processes which are increasing in the convex order. These processes have been introduced in seminal work by Strassen [1965], Doob [1968] and Kellerer [1972], who showed that such processes have the same marginals as a martingale. In fact, we demonstrate that their results include the results of Rothschild and Stiglitz as a special case. Further, we show that it makes sense to look at a larger class of processes, which we refer to as lyrebirds. We also show how these processes link up with the concept of second order stochastic dominance and are helpful in studying the dynamics of inequality and poverty measures. Further applications discussed include geometric and hyperbolic discounting, exotic derivatives and real options.

We show that simple explicit formulas can be obtained for several relevant quantities related to the laws of the uniformly sampled Brownian bridge, Brownian meander and three dimensional Bessel process. To prove such results, we use the distribution of a triplet of random variables associated to the pseudo-Brownian bridge given in [M. Rosenbaum and M. Yor, Séminaire de Probabilités XLVI (2014) 359–375], together with various relationships between the laws of these four processes. Finally, we consider the variable \[ B_{UT_1}/\sqrt{T_1} ,\] where \( B \) is a Brownian motion, \( T_1 \) its first hitting time of level one and \( U \) a uniform random variable independent of \( B \). This variable is shown to be centered in [R. Elie, M. Rosenbaum and M. Yor, Electron. J. Probab. 37 (2014) 1–23; M. Rosenbaum and M. Yor, Séminaire de Probabilités XLVI (2014) 359–375]. The results obtained here enable us to revisit this intriguing property through an enlargement of filtration formula.

In this note we present integral representations of the Itô excursion measure associated with a general one-dimensional diffusion \( X \). These representations and identities are natural extensions of the classical ones for reflected Brownian motion, RBM. As is well known, the three-dimensional Bessel process, \( \mathrm{BES}(3) \), plays a crucial rôle in the analysis of the Brownian excursions. Our main interest is in showing explicitly how certain excursion theoretical formulae associated with the pair \( (\mathrm{RBM} \), \( \mathrm{BES}(3)) \) generalize to pair \( (X,X^{\uparrow}) \), where \( X^{\uparrow} \) denotes the diffusion obtained from \( X \) by conditioning \( X \) not to hit 0. We illustrate the results for the pair \( (R_-,R_+) \) consisting of a recurrent Bessel process with dimension \( d_- = 2(1-\alpha) \), \( \alpha\in (0,1) \), and a transient Bessel process with dimension \( d_+ = 2(1 + \alpha) \). Pair \( (\mathrm{RBM} \), \( \mathrm{BES}(3)) \) is, clearly, obtained by choosing \( \alpha=1/2 \).

For longer horizons, assuming no dividend distributions, models for discounted stock prices in balanced markets are formulated as conditional expectations of nontrivial terminal random variables defined at infinity. Observing that extant models fail to have this property, new models are proposed. The new concept of a balanced market proposed here permits a distinction between such markets and unduly optimistic or pessimistic ones. A tractable example is developed and termed the discounted variance gamma model. Calibrations to market data provide empirical support. Additionally, procedures are presented for the valuation of path dependent stochastic perpetuities. Evidence is provided for long dated equity linked claims paying coupon for time spent by equity above a lower barrier, being underpriced by extant models relative to the new discounted ones. Given the popularity of such claims, the resulting mispricing could possibly take some corrections. Furthermore for these new discounted models, implied volatility curves do not flatten out at the larger maturities.

Depuis le tout début du XX\( {}^\textrm{e} \) siècle, l’étude des processus stochastiques est un domaine très actif de la recherche en mathématiques. Parmi ces processus, le mouvement brownien–dont l’étude mathématique a été initiée dès 1900, avec la thèse de Bachelier, entre autres travaux–a joué, et joue encore, un rôle primordial. Ceci peut s’expliquer par le fait que le mouvement brownien est l’objet limite quasi-universel qui apparaît dans le théorème central limite, lorsqu’on fait agir le temps. Depuis la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale et les travaux d’Itô, Meyer, Tanaka et bien d’autres, les temps locaux et les excursions sont devenus des outils essentiels pour étudier ce processus.

Les exercices de ce volume ont été élaborés, année après année, par le second auteur, soit à la suite de lectures d’articles présentant, parfois avec des méthodes très différentes, telle ou telle propriété brownienne, soit simplement pour illustrer le contenu de son cours de DEA (anciennement), de M2 aujourd’hui. Le premier auteur en a organisé la synthèse, de façon économique et néanmoins–espérons-le–très lisible. Les chapitres ont été conçus pour créer un aller-retour permanent entre les principaux résultats du cours et les exercices corrigés, afin que la compréhension des uns renforce celle des autres. C’est ainsi que de nombreuses solutions d’exercices données ici offrent un aperçu de la façon de prouver certains des théorèmes rappelés plus haut.

We establish a local martingale \( M \) associate with \( f(X,Y) \) under some restrictions on \( f \), where \( Y \) is a process of bounded variation (on compact intervals) and either \( X \) is a jump diffusion (a special case being a Lévy process) or \( X \) is some general (càdlàg metric-space valued) Markov process. In the latter case, \( f \) is restricted to the form \[ f(x,y) = \sum_{k=1}^K \xi_k(x)\eta_k(y) .\] This local martingale unifies both Dynkin’s formula for Markov processes and the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integration (change of variable) formula for (right-continuous) functions of bounded variation. For the jump diffusion case, when further relatively easily verifiable conditions are assumed, then this local martingale becomes an \( L^2 \)-martingale. Convergence of the product of this Martingale with some deterministic function (of time) to 0 both in \( L^2 \) and almost sure is also considered and sufficient conditions for functions for which this happens are identified.

J. Pitman and M. Yor: A guide to Brownian motion stochastic processes. Preprint, February 2018. ArXiv 1802.09679 techreport

This is a guide to the mathematical theory of Brownian motion and related stochastic processes, with indications of how this theory is related to other branches of mathematics, most notably the classical theory of partial differential equations associated with the Laplace and heat operators, and various generalizations thereof. As a typical reader, we have in mind a student, familiar with the basic concepts of probability based on measure theory, at the level of the graduate texts of Billingsley and Durrett , and who wants a broader perspective on the theory of Brownian motion and related stochastic processes than can be found in these texts.
