Root to Kellerer

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We revisit Kellerer's Theorem, that is, we show that for a family of real probability distributions (mut)tin[0,1] which increases in convex order there exists a Markov martingale (St)tin[0,1] s.t. Stsimmut. To establish the result, we observe that the set of martingale measures with given marginals carries a natural compact Polish topology. Based on a particular property of the martingale coupling associated to Root's embedding this allows for a relatively concise proof of Kellerer's theorem. We emphasize that many of our arguments are borrowed from Kellerer cite{Ke72}, Lowther cite{Lo07}, and Hirsch-Roynette-Profeta-Yor cite{HiPr11,HiRo12}.
