We start with the problem formulated in the paper of Cvitani\\'{c}-Schachermayer-Wang (2001) and prove the following statement: in the Brownian framework, the countably additive part $Q^r$ of the dual optimizer $Q\\in (L^\\infty)^*$ obtained in that paper can be represented by the terminal value of a supermartingale deflator $Y$ defined in the paper of Kramkov-Schachermayer (1999), which is a local martingale.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-28T14:40:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "90B28", "91B16" ], "keywords": [ "incomplete markets", "dual problem", "bounded random endowment", "local martingale", "brownian framework" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
