Abstract
Publisher: VTeX - Solutions for Science Publishing, Journal: Modern Stochastics - Theory and Applications, Title: Single jump filtrations and local martingales, Authors: Alexander A. Gushchin , A single jump filtration ${({\mathcal{F}_{t}})_{t\in {\mathbb{R}_{+}}}}$ generated by a random variable γ with values in ${\overline{\mathbb{R}}_{+}}$ on a probability space $(\Omega ,\mathcal{F},\mathsf{P})$ is defined as follows: a set $A\in \mathcal{F}$ belongs to ${\mathcal{F}_{t}}$ if $A\cap \{\gamma >t\}$ is either ∅ or $\{\gamma >t\}$. A process M is proved to be a local martingale with respect to this filtration if and only if it has a representation ${M_{t}}=F(t){\mathbb{1}_{\{t<\gamma \}}}+L{\mathbb{1}_{\{t\geqslant \gamma \}}}$, where F is a deterministic function and L is a random variable such that $\mathsf{E}|{M_{t}}|<\infty $ and $\mathsf{E}({M_{t}})=\mathsf{E}({M_{0}})$ for every $t\in \{t\in {\mathbb{R}_{+}}:\mathsf{P}(\gamma \geqslant t)>0\}$. This result seems to be new even in a special case that has been studied in the literature, namely, where $\mathcal{F}$ is the smallest σ-field with respect to which γ is measurable (and then the filtration is the smallest one with respect to which γ is a stopping time). As a consequence, a full description of all local martingales is given and they are classified according to their global behaviour.
