Local martingale deflators for asset processes stopped at a default time $S^\tau$ or right before $S^{\tau-}$
Abstract
Let be two filtrations and be a semimartingale possessing a local martingale deflator. Consider a stopping time. We study the problem whether or can have local martingale deflators. A suitable theoretical framework is set up in this paper, within which necessary/sufficient conditions for the problem to be solved have been proved. Under these conditions, we will construct local martingale deflators for or for . Among others, it is proved that local martingale deflators are multiples of local martingale deflators, with a multiplicator coming from the multiplicative decomposition of the Az\'ema supermartingale of . The proofs of the necessary/sufficient conditions require various results to be established about Az\'ema supermartingale, about local martingale deflator, about filtration enlargement, which are interesting in themselves. Our study is based on a filtration enlargement setting. For applications, it is important to have a method to infer the existence of such setting from the knowledge of the market information. This question is discussed at the end of the paper.
