This paper is devoted to a construction of the stochastic It\^o integral with respect to infinite dimensional cylindrical Wiener process. The construction given is an alternative one to that introduced by DaPrato and Zabczyk [3]. The…
In this paper we provide a pricing-hedging duality for the model-independent superhedging price with respect to a prediction set $\Xi\subseteq C[0,T]$, where the superhedging property needs to hold pathwise, but only for paths lying in…
Starting from the canonical formalism of relativistic (timeless) quantum mechanics, the formulation of timeless path integral is rigorously derived. The transition amplitude is reformulated as the sum, or functional integral, over all…
We propose a Lagrangian path integral based on gauge symmetries generated by a symmetric higher-order $\Delta$-operator, and demonstrate that this path integral is independent of the chosen gauge-fixing function. No explicit change of…
The estimation of local characteristics of Ito semimartingales has received a great deal of attention in both academia and industry over the past decades. In various papers limit theorems were derived for functionals of increments and…
In the framework of Black-Scholes-Merton model of financial derivatives, a path integral approach to option pricing is presented. A general formula to price European path dependent options on multidimensional assets is obtained and…
The standard way to construct a path integral is to use a Legendre transformation to find the hamiltonian, to repeatedly insert complete sets of states into the time-evolution operator, and then to integrate over the momenta. This procedure…
We present a condition for a stochastic differential equation dX_{t}={\mu}(t,X_{t})dt+{\sigma}(t,X_{t})dB_{t} to have a unique functional solution of the form Z(t,B_{t}). The condition expresses a relation between {\mu} and {\sigma}. A…
We use probabilistic methods to study classical solutions for systems of interacting semilinear parabolic partial differential equations. In a modeling framework for a financial market with interacting Ito and point processes, such PDEs are…
In this note we define and study a Hilbert space-valued stochastic integral of operator-valued functions with respect to Hilbert space-valued measures. We show that this integral generalizes the classical Ito stochastic integral of adapted…
Following the renewed interest in the topic [1], we revisit the problem of assigning probabilities to classes of Feynman paths passing through specified space-time regions. We show that by assigning of probabilities to interfering…
The theta process is a stochastic process of number theoretical origin arising as a scaling limit of quadratic Weyl sums. It can be described in terms of the geodesic flow and an automorphic function on a homogeneous space. This process has…
Path integrals can be rigorously defined only in low dimensional systems where the small distance limit can be taken. Particularly non-trivial models in more than four dimensions can only be handled with considerable amount of speculation.…

We prove pathwise uniqueness for stochastic differential equations driven by non-degenerate symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes with values in $\R^d$ having a bounded and $\beta$-H\"older continuous drift term. We assume $\beta > 1 -…
The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, i.e., the idea that the evolution of a quantum system is determined as a sum over all the possible trajectories that would take the system from the initial to its final state of its…
We derive a closed-form solution for the price of an average price as well as an average strike geometric Asian option, by making use of the path integral formulation. Our results are compared to a numerical Monte Carlo simulation. We also…
We construct a series of stochastic differential equations of the form $dX_t = b(t, X_t) dt + dB_t$ which exhibit nonuniqueness in the path-by-path sense while having a unique adapted solution in the sense of stochastic processes, i.e.…
We derive a backward and forward nonlinear PDEs that govern the implied volatility of a contingent claim whenever the latter is well-defined. This would include at least any contingent claim written on a positive stock price whose payoff at…
Based on a dyadic approximation of It\^o integrals, we show the existence of It\^o c\`adl\`ag rough paths above general semimartingales, suitable Gaussian processes and non-negative typical price paths. Furthermore, Lyons-Victoir extension…
