A structural characterization of numeraires of convex sets of nonnegative random variables

Functional Analysis 2011-03-22 v3 Probability

Abstract

We introduce the concept of numeraires of convex sets in the nonnegative orthant of the topological vector space of all random variables built over a probability space. A necessary and sufficient condition for an element of a convex set to be its numeraire is given, inspired from ideas in financial mathematics.
