For a large class of ℝ+ valued, continuous local martingales (Mtt ≥ 0), with M0 = 1 and M∞ = 0, the put quantity: ΠM (K,t) = E ((K - Mt)+) turns out to be the distribution function in both variables K and t, for K ≤ 1 and t ≥ 0, of a probability γM on [0,1] × [0, ∞[. In this...

We prove that the law of the euclidean norm of an n-dimensional Brownian bridge is, in general, only equivalent and not equal to the law of a n-dimensional Bessel bridge and we compute explicitly the mutual density. Relations with Bessel processes with drifts are also discussed.
