Motivated by the Kyle-Back model of 'insider trading', we consider certain classes of linear transformations of two independent Brownian motions and study their canonical decomposition as semimartingales in their own filtration. In particular we characterize those transformations which generate...

We show the existence, for any k E N, of processes which have the same k-marginals as Brownian motion, although they are not Brownian motions. For k = 4, this proves a conjecture of Stoyanov. The law P' of such a weak Brownian motion of order k can be constructed to be equivalent to Wiener...

Robust utility functionals arise as numerical representations of investor preferences, when the investor is uncertain about the underlying probabilistic model and averse against both risk and model uncertainty. In this paper, we study the duality theory for the problem of maximizing the robust...

We show the existence, for any k E N, of processes which have the same k-marginals as Brownian motion, although they are not Brownian motions. For k = 4, this proves a conjecture of Stoyanov. The law P' of such a "weak Brownian motion of order k" can be constructed to be equivalent to Wiener...

Motivated by the Kyle-Back model of "insider trading", we consider certain classes of linear transformations of two independent Brownian motions and study their canonical decomposition, i.e., their Doob-Meyer decomposition as semimartingales in their own filtration. In particular we characterize...
