On the distance between ⟨X⟩ and L in the space of continuous BMO-martingales

Litan Yan, Norihiko Kazamaki (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let X = (Xₜ,ℱₜ) be a continuous BMO-martingale, that is, | | X | | B M O s u p T | | E [ | X - X T | | T ] | | < , where the supremum is taken over all stopping times T. Define the critical exponent b(X) by b ( X ) = b > 0 : s u p T | | E [ e x p ( b ² ( X - X T ) ) | T ] | | < , where the supremum is taken over all stopping times T. Consider the continuous martingale q(X) defined by q ( X ) = E [ X | ] - E [ X | ] . We use q(X) to characterize the distance between ⟨X⟩ and the class L of all bounded martingales in the space of continuous BMO-martingales, and we show that the inequalities 1 / 4 d ( q ( X ) , L ) b ( X ) 4 / d ( q ( X ) , L ) hold for every continuous BMO-martingale X.

On the equivalence of some eternal additive coalescents

Anne-Laure Basdevant (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In this paper, we study additive coalescents. Using their representation as fragmentation processes, we prove that the law of a large class of eternal additive coalescents is absolutely continuous with respect to the law of the standard additive coalescent on any bounded time interval.

On the exponential Orlicz norms of stopped Brownian motion

Goran Peškir (1996)

Studia Mathematica

Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the exponential Orlicz norm (generated by ψ p ( x ) = e x p ( | x | p ) - 1 with 0 < p ≤ 2) of m a x 0 t τ | B t | or | B τ | to be finite, where B = ( B t ) t 0 is a standard Brownian motion and τ is a stopping time for B. The conditions are in terms of the moments of the stopping time τ. For instance, we find that m a x 0 t τ | B t | ψ 1 < as soon as E ( τ k ) = O ( C k k k ) for some constant C > 0 as k → ∞ (or equivalently τ ψ 1 < ). In particular, if τ ∼ Exp(λ) or | N ( 0 , σ 2 ) | then the last condition is satisfied, and we obtain m a x 0 t τ | B t | ψ 1 K E ( τ ) with some universal constant K > 0....
