Then, for each random field, the Markov process corresponding to the non-local type stochastic quantization is constructed. As far as we know, there exists no consider- ations on the non-local type stochastic quantizations for such random fields through the arguments by the Dirichlet forms, that are non-local (cf., [A 2003], [A 2016], [A,Ma,R 2015], [A,DeV,Gu1,2], [A,Di Persio, Mastrogiacomo, Smii 2016], [A,H-K 76], [A,H-K 77], [A,Kusuoka-sei 2017], [A,R 89], [A,R 90], [A,R 91], [A,R¨udiger 2003], [Cat,Chouk 2018], [Da Prato, Debussche 03], [Gu,Ho 2019], [Hairer 2014], [Hairer,Mattingly 2016], [Mourrat,Weber 2017], and also for a historical aper¸cu on the stochastic quantizations of several random fields cf. [A,Kagawa,Yahagi,Y 2020] and references therein). In this section, we first recall the abstract results on the non-local Dirichlet forms defined on the Fr´echet spaces provided in [A,Kagawa,Yahagi,Y 2020], and its application to the stochastic quantization of the Euclidean free quantum field which also has been considered in [A,Kagawa,Yahagi,Y 2020]. By these preparations, in the next section we proceed to construct the solutions of stochastic quantizations corresponding to the space cut-off P (φ)2 Euclidean quantum field, the 2-dimensional Euclidean fields with exponential and trigono- metric potentials, and a field of classical (infinite) particle systems. Here, we limit ourselves to recalling the results in [A,Kagawa,Yahagi,Y 2020] that will be applied to the stochastic quantizations mentioned above. Precisely, for the applications, we restrict our selves to the formulations on the weighted l2 spaces and the non-local Dirichlet forms with the index 0 <α 1, the index characterizing the order of the non-locality which has a corresponcence to the≤ index of the α stable processes. The abstract state spaces S, on which we define the Markovian symmetric forms, are the 2 2 weighted l spaces, denoted by l , with a given weight (βi)i∈N, βi 0, i N, such that (βi) ≥ ∈ ∞ 2 N 2 1 R 2 2 S = l(βi) x =(x1, x2,... ) : x l ( βi xi ) < .

For each i N, let µ( σic ) be the conditional probability, a one-dimensional probability distribution∈ (i.e., a probabilit· y distribution for the i-th component xi) valued σic measurable function, that is characterized by (cf.

  • On Two Dimensional Markov Processes with Branching Property^)
    ON TWO DIMENSIONAL MARKOV PROCESSES WITH BRANCHING PROPERTY^) BY SHINZO WATANABE Introduction. A continuous state branching Markov process (C.B.P.) was introduced by Jirina [8] and recently Lamperti [10] determined all such processes on the half line. (A quite similar result was obtained independently by the author.) This class of Markov processes contains as a special case the diffusion processes (which we shall call Feller's diffusions) studied by Feller [2]. The main objective of the present paper is to extend Lamperti's result to multi-dimensional case. For simplicity we shall consider the case of 2-dimensions though many arguments can be carried over to the case of higher dimensions(2). In Theorem 2 below we shall characterize all C.B.P.'s in the first quadrant of a plane and construct them. Our construction is in an analytic way, by a similar construction given in Ikeda, Nagasawa and Watanabe [5], through backward equations (or in the terminology of [5] through S-equations) for a simpler case and then in the general case by a limiting procedure. A special attention will be paid to the case of diffusions. We shall show that these diffusions can be obtained as a unique solution of a stochastic equation of Ito (Theorem 3). This fact may be of some interest since the solutions of a stochastic equation with coefficients Holder continuous of exponent 1/2 (which is our case) are not known to be unique in general. Next we shall examine the behavior of sample functions near the boundaries (xj-axis or x2-axis).

  • Long Term Risk: a Martingale Approach
    Long Term Risk: A Martingale Approach Likuan Qin∗ and Vadim Linetskyy Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Northwestern University Abstract This paper extends the long-term factorization of the pricing kernel due to Alvarez and Jermann (2005) in discrete time ergodic environments and Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) in continuous ergodic Markovian environments to general semimartingale environments, with- out assuming the Markov property. An explicit and easy to verify sufficient condition is given that guarantees convergence in Emery's semimartingale topology of the trading strate- gies that invest in T -maturity zero-coupon bonds to the long bond and convergence in total variation of T -maturity forward measures to the long forward measure. As applications, we explicitly construct long-term factorizations in generally non-Markovian Heath-Jarrow- Morton (1992) models evolving the forward curve in a suitable Hilbert space and in the non-Markovian model of social discount of rates of Brody and Hughston (2013). As a fur- ther application, we extend Hansen and Jagannathan (1991), Alvarez and Jermann (2005) and Bakshi and Chabi-Yo (2012) bounds to general semimartingale environments. When Markovian and ergodicity assumptions are added to our framework, we recover the long- term factorization of Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) and explicitly identify their distorted probability measure with the long forward measure. Finally, we give an economic interpre- tation of the recovery theorem of Ross (2013) in non-Markovian economies as a structural restriction on the pricing kernel leading to the growth optimality of the long bond and iden- tification of the physical measure with the long forward measure.

  • A Short History of Stochastic Integration and Mathematical Finance
    A Festschrift for Herman Rubin Institute of Mathematical Statistics Lecture Notes – Monograph Series Vol. 45 (2004) 75–91 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2004 A short history of stochastic integration and mathematical finance: The early years, 1880–1970 Robert Jarrow1 and Philip Protter∗1 Cornell University Abstract: We present a history of the development of the theory of Stochastic Integration, starting from its roots with Brownian motion, up to the introduc- tion of semimartingales and the independence of the theory from an underlying Markov process framework. We show how the development has influenced and in turn been influenced by the development of Mathematical Finance Theory. The calendar period is from 1880 to 1970. The history of stochastic integration and the modelling of risky asset prices both begin with Brownian motion, so let us begin there too. The earliest attempts to model Brownian motion mathematically can be traced to three sources, each of which knew nothing about the others: the first was that of T. N. Thiele of Copen- hagen, who effectively created a model of Brownian motion while studying time series in 1880 [81].2; the second was that of L. Bachelier of Paris, who created a model of Brownian motion while deriving the dynamic behavior of the Paris stock market, in 1900 (see, [1, 2, 11]); and the third was that of A. Einstein, who proposed a model of the motion of small particles suspended in a liquid, in an attempt to convince other physicists of the molecular nature of matter, in 1905 [21](See [64] for a discussion of Einstein’s model and his motivations.) Of these three models, those of Thiele and Bachelier had little impact for a long time, while that of Einstein was immediately influential.

  • Final Report (PDF)
    Foundation of Stochastic Analysis Krzysztof Burdzy (University of Washington) Zhen-Qing Chen (University of Washington) Takashi Kumagai (Kyoto University) September 18-23, 2011 1 Scientific agenda of the conference Over the years, the foundations of stochastic analysis included various specific topics, such as the general theory of Markov processes, the general theory of stochastic integration, the theory of martingales, Malli- avin calculus, the martingale-problem approach to Markov processes, and the Dirichlet form approach to Markov processes. To create some focus for the very broad topic of the conference, we chose a few areas of concentration, including • Dirichlet forms • Analysis on fractals and percolation clusters • Jump type processes • Stochastic partial differential equations and measure-valued processes Dirichlet form theory provides a powerful tool that connects the probabilistic potential theory and ana- lytic potential theory. Recently Dirichlet forms found its use in effective study of fine properties of Markov processes on spaces with minimal smoothness, such as reflecting Brownian motion on non-smooth domains, Brownian motion and jump type processes on Euclidean spaces and fractals, and Markov processes on trees and graphs. It has been shown that Dirichlet form theory is an important tool in study of various invariance principles, such as the invariance principle for reflected Brownian motion on domains with non necessarily smooth boundaries and the invariance principle for Metropolis algorithm. Dirichlet form theory can also be used to study a certain type of SPDEs. Fractals are used as an approximation of disordered media. The analysis on fractals is motivated by the desire to understand properties of natural phenomena such as polymers, and growth of molds and crystals.

    Quenched Invariance Principles for Random Walks and Elliptic Diffusions in Random Media with Boundary Zhen-Qing Chen,∗ David A. Croydon and Takashi Kumagai† June 4, 2013 Abstract Via a Dirichlet form extension theorem and making full use of two-sided heat kernel estimates, we establish quenched invariance principles for random walks in random environments with a boundary. In particular, we prove that the random walk on a supercritical percolation cluster or amongst random conductances bounded uniformly from below in a half-space, quarter-space, etc., converges when rescaled diffusively to a reflecting Brownian motion, which has been one of the important open problems in this area. We establish a similar result for the random conductance model in a box, which allows us to improve existing asymptotic estimates for the relevant mixing time. Furthermore, in the uniformly elliptic case, we present quenched invariance principles for domains with more general boundaries.

Let f be an absolute probability function, that is, a function from (0, co) x I into [0, 1], satisfying (1.2) If(t, j) = 1, f(s + t, j) = If(s, i)p(t, i, j). j i Let L be an arbitrary set containing I as a subset. There is then a Markov process fx(t), t > 0} with state space L having the specified transition and absolute probability functions. The notation x(t) will always refer to the tth random variable of such a process, and the process will be called "smooth" if L is topological and if almost every sample function is right continuous with left limits on (0, cc). Note that this condition does not require the existence of a right limit at 0. For each t > 0 the random variable x(t) almost surely has its values in I, but it has been known since Ray's work [11] in 1959 that L and the process can be chosen to make the process and properly chosen extensions of the transition function have desirable smoothness properties. One can always choose L to be an entrance space in the sense of [4]; that is.
