Abstract

top
In this paper, we consider ℝd-valued integrable processes which are increasing in the convex order, i.e. ℝd-valued peacocks in our terminology. After the presentation of some examples, we show that an ℝd-valued process is a peacock if and only if it has the same one-dimensional marginals as an ℝd-valued martingale. This extends former results, obtained notably by Strassen [Ann. Math. Stat. 36 (1965) 423–439], Doob [J. Funct. Anal. 2 (1968) 207–225] and Kellerer [Math. Ann. 198 (1972) 99–122].
