Abstract A common problem is to choose a “risk neutral ” measure in an incomplete market in asset pricing models. We show in this paper that in some circumstances it is possible to choose a unique “equivalent local martingale measure ” by completing the market with option prices. We do this by modeling the behavior of the stock price X, together with the behavior of the option prices for a relevant family of options which are (or can theoretically be) effectively traded. In doing so, we need to ensure a kind of ’‘compatibility ” between X and the prices of our options, and this poses some significant mathematical difficulties.

Abstract. It is well-known how to determine the price of perpetual American options if the underlying stock price is a time-homogeneous diffusion. In the present paper we consider the inverse problem, i.e. given prices of perpetual American options for different strikes we show how to construct a time-homogeneous model for the stock price which reproduces the given option prices. 1.

Abstract. A local martingale X is called arithmetically symmetric if the conditional dis-tribution of XT −Xt is symmetric given Ft, for all 0 ≤ t ≤ T. Letting FTt = Ft ∨ σ(〈X〉T), the main result of this note is that for a continuous local martingale X the following are equivalent (1) X is arithmetically symmetric. (2) The conditional distribution of XT given FTt is N(Xt, 〈X〉T − 〈X〉t) for all 0 ≤ t ≤ T. (3) X is a local martingale for the enlarged filtration (FTt)t≥0 for each T ≥ 0. The notion of a geometrically symmetric martingale is also defined and characterized as the Doléans-Dade exponential of an arithmetically symmetric local martingale. As an applica-tion of these results, we show that a market model of the implied volatility surface that is initially flat and that remains symmetric for all future times must be the Black–Scholes model. 1.

The difficult problem of the characterization of arbitrage free dynamic stochastic models for the equity markets was recently given a new life by the introduction of market models based on the dynamics of the local volatility. Typically, market models are based on Itô stochastic differential equations modeling the dynamics of a set of basic instruments including, but not limited to, the option underliers. These market models are usually recast in the framework of the HJM philosophy originally articulated for Treasury bond markets. In this paper we streamline some of the recent results on the local volatility dynamics by employing an infinite dimensional stochastic analysis approach as advocated by the pioneering work of L. Gross and his students.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of models for the time evolution of the prices of call options of all strikes and maturities. We capture the information contained in the option prices in the density of some time-inhomogeneous Lévy measure (an alternative to the implied volatility surface), and we set this static code-book in motion by means of stochastic dynamics of Itôs type in a function space, creating what we call a tangent Lévy model. We then provide the consistency conditions, namely, we show that the call prices produced by a given dynamic code-book (dynamic Lévy density) coincide with the conditional expectations of the respective payoffs if and only if certain restrictions on the dynamics of the code-book are satisfied (including a drift condition à la HJM). We then provide an existence result, which allows us to construct a large class of tangent Lévy models, and describe a specific example for the sake of illustration.

ABSTRACT. Motivated by the desire to integrate repeated calibration procedures into a single dynamic market model, we introduce the notion of tangent market model in an abstract set up, and we show that this new mathematical paradigm accommodates all the recent attempts to study consistency and absence of arbitrage in market models. For the sake of illustration, we concentrate on equity models and we assume that market quotes provide the prices of European call options for a specific set of strikes and maturities. While reviewing our recent results on dynamic local volatility and tangent L’evy models, we provide new results on the short time-to-maturity asymptotics which shed new light on the dichotomy between these two disjoint classes of models, with and without jumps, helping choose in practice, which class of models is most appropriate to the market characteristics at hand. 1.

With the recent developments of a liquid derivative market, as well as the demands for an improved risk management framework post the financial crisis, it is becoming increasingly important to consistently model the implied volatility dynamics of an asset. Many attempts have been made on this front, but few manage to exclude arbitrage opportunities with reasonable tractability. In this thesis, we present two approaches based on tangent Lévy models to achieve the task. One of the biggest advantages of tangent Lévy models is that, by using the tangent process ’ jump density as the codebook to describe the option price dynamics, it enables an explicit expression of the no-arbitrage conditions, hence allows for tractable implementation. Our first approach is based on the tangent Lévy model with tangent processes being derived from the double exponential process. This approach is easy to implement given the small number of parameters and the availability of an analytical pricing formula. In the second approach, the tangent process takes only finitely many jump sizes. With
