Optimal Novikov-type criteria for local martingales with jumps

Probability 2014-10-28 v4

Abstract

We consider local martingales MM with jumps larger than aa for some aa larger than or equal to -1, and prove Novikov-type criteria for the corresponding exponential local martingale to be a uniformly integrable martingale. We obtain criteria using both the quadratic variation and the predictable quadratic variation. We prove optimality of the coefficients in the criteria. As a corollary, we obtain a verbatim extension of the classical Novikov criterion for continuous local martingales to the case of local martingales with nonnegative jumps.
