This paper studies the concept of instantaneous arbitrage in continuous time and its relation to the instantaneous CAPM …. Absence of instantaneous arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a trading strategy which satisfies the CAPM beta pricing … relation in place of the market. Thus the difference between the arbitrage argument and the CAPM argument in Black and Scholes …
