We introduce some of the basic ideas involving enlargements of filtration. Here, we focus mainly on initial enlargements, where a given filtration is enlarged with knowledge of an additional random variable. This has applications to the modelling of insider trading in mathematical finance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-13T14:07:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G99" ], "keywords": [ "filtration", "stochastic analysis", "basic ideas", "initial enlargements", "information" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
