Three little arbitrage theorems
Abstract
We prove three theorems about the exact solutions of a generalized or interacting Black-Scholes equation that explicitly includes arbitrage bubbles. These arbitrage bubbles can be characterized by an arbitrage number . The first theorem states that if , then the solution at the maturity of the interacting equation is identical to the solution of the free Black-Scholes equation with the same initial interest rate . The second theorem states that if , the solution can be expressed in terms of all higher derivatives of solutions to the free Black-Scholes equation with the initial interest rate . The third theorem states that whatever the arbitrage number is, the solution is a solution to the free Black-Scholes equation with a variable interest rate . Also, we show, by using the Feynman-Kac theorem, that for the special case of a Call contract, the exact solution for a Call with strike price is equivalent to the usual Call solution to the Black-Scholes equation with strike price .
