Using Vovk's outer measure, which corresponds to a minimal superhedging price, the existence of quadratic variation is shown for "typical price paths" in the space of c\`adl\`ag functions possessing a mild restriction on the jumps directed…
We use a path integral approach for solving the stochastic equations underlying the financial markets, and we show the equivalence between the path integral and the usual SDE and PDE methods. We analyze both the one-dimensional and the…
We present two different approaches to stochastic integration in frictionless model free financial mathematics. The first one is in the spirit of It\^o's integral and based on a certain topology which is induced by the outer measure…
We develop a theory of Hilbert-space valued stochastic integration with respect to cylindrical martingale-valued measures. As part of our construction, we expand the concept of quadratic variation, introduced by Veraar and Yaroslavtsev…
The integral with respect to a multidimensional stochastic measure, for which we assume only $\sigma$-additivity in probability, is studied. The continuity and differentiability of its realizations are established.
We provide a model-free pricing-hedging duality in continuous time. For a frictionless market consisting of $d$ risky assets with continuous price trajectories, we show that the purely analytic problem of finding the minimal superhedging…
Path integrals are a ubiquitous tool in theoretical physics. However, their use is sometimes hindered by the lack of control on various manipulations -- such as performing a change of the integration path -- one would like to carry out in…
We propose a method to construct the stochastic integral simultaneously under a non-dominated family of probability measures. Path-by-path, and without referring to a probability measure, we construct a sequence of Lebesgue-Stieltjes…
Stochastic integrals are defined with respect to a collection $P = (P_i; \, i \in I)$ of continuous semimartingales, imposing no assumptions on the index set $I$ and the subspace of $\mathbb{R}^I$ where $P$ takes values. The integrals are…
In this paper we study the path-regularity and martingale properties of the set-valued stochastic integrals defined in our previous work Ararat et al. (2023). Such integrals have some fundamental differences from the well-known…
We study one-dimensional stochastic integral equations with non-smooth dispersion coefficients, and with drift components that are not restricted to be absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. In the spirit of Lamperti, Doss…
Consider the stochastic differential equation $\mathrm dX_t = -A X_t \,\mathrm dt + f(t, X_t) \,\mathrm dt + \mathrm dB_t$ in a (possibly infinite-dimensional) separable Hilbert space, where $B$ is a cylindrical Brownian motion and $f$ is a…
For any real-valued stochastic process $X$ with c\'rdl\'rg paths we define non-empty family of processes which have locally finite total variation, have jumps of the same order as the process $X$ and uniformly approximate its paths on…
The Black-Scholes formula for pricing options on stocks and other securities has been generalized by Merton and Garman to the case when stock volatility is stochastic. The derivation of the price of a security derivative with stochastic…
A stochastic differential equation with coefficients defined in a scale of Hilbert spaces is considered. The existence, uniqueness and path-continuity of infinite-time solutions is proved by an extension of the Ovsyannikov method. This…
We develop a general framework for pathwise stochastic integration that extends F\"ollmer's classical approach beyond gradient-type integrands and standard left-point Riemann sums and provides pathwise counterparts of It\^o, Stratonovich,…
Recently path integral methods have been developed for stochastic optimal control for a wide class of models with non-linear dynamics in continuous space-time. Path integral methods find the control that minimizes the expected cost-to-go.…
This article is the second one in a series on the use of scaling invariance in finance. In the first article (cond-mat/9906048), we introduced a new formalism for the pricing of derivative securities, which focusses on tradable objects…
An approach to analysis on path spaces of Riemannian manifolds is described. The spaces are furnished with `Brownian motion' measure which lies on continuous paths, though differentiation is restricted to directions given by tangent paths…
