Abstract

The framework of this paper is that of risk measuring under uncertainty, which is when no reference probability measure is given. To every regular convex risk measure on Cb(Ω){\cal C}_b(\Omega), we associate a unique equivalence class of probability measures on Borel sets, characterizing the riskless non positive elements of Cb(Ω){\cal C}_b(\Omega). We prove that the convex risk measure has a dual representation with a countable set of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to a certain probability measure in this class. To get these results we study the topological properties of the dual of the Banach space L1(c)L^1(c) associated to a capacity cc. As application we obtain that every GG-expectation \E\E has a representation with a countable set of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to a probability measure PP such that P(f)=0P(|f|)=0 iff \E(f)=0\E(|f|)=0. We also apply our results to the case of uncertain volatility.
