Measurability of optimal transportation and strong coupling of martingale measures

Joaquin Fontbona, Helene Guerin, Sylvie Meleard

英文摘要：

We consider the optimal mass transportation problem in $\RR^d$ with measurably parameterized marginals, for general cost functions and under conditions ensuring the existence of a unique optimal transport map. We prove a joint measurability result for this map, with respect to the space variable and to the parameter. The proof needs to establish the measurability of some set-valued mappings, related to the support of the optimal transference plans, which we use to perform a suitable discrete approximation procedure. A motivation is the construction of a strong coupling between orthogonal martingale measures. By this we mean that, given a martingale measure, we construct in the same probability space a second one with specified covariance measure. This is done by pushing forward one martingale measure through a predictable version of the optimal transport map between the covariance measures. This coupling allows us to obtain quantitative estimates in terms of the Wasserstein distance between those covariance measures.

Measurability of optimal transportation and convergence rate for Landau type interacting particle systems

In this paper, we consider nonlinear diffusion processes driven by space-time white noises, which have an interpretation in terms of partial differential equations. For a specific choice of coefficients, they correspond to the Landau equation arising in kinetic theory. A particular feature is that the diffusion matrix of this process is a linear function the law of the process, and not a quadratic one, as in the McKean-Vlasov model. The main goal of the paper is to construct an easily simulable diffusive interacting particle system, converging towards this nonlinear process and to obtain an ex…

Irreducible convex paving for decomposition of multi-dimensional martingale transport plans

Martingale transport plans on the line are known from Beiglbock & Juillet to have an irreducible decomposition on a (at most) countable union of intervals. We provide an extension of this decomposition for martingale transport plans in R^d, d larger than one. Our decomposition is a partition of R^d consisting of a possibly uncountable family of relatively open convex components, with the required measurability so that the disintegration is well-defined. We justify the relevance of our decomposition by proving the existence of a martingale transport plan filling these components. We also deduce…

Extremal doubly stochastic measures and optimal transportation

This article connects the theory of extremal doubly stochastic measures to the geometry and topology of optimal transportation. We begin by reviewing an old question (# 111) of Birkhoff in probability and statistics [4], which is to give a necessary and sufficient condition on the support of a joint probability to guarantee extremality among all measures which share its marginals. Following work of Douglas, Lindenstrauss, and Beneš and Štěpán, Hestir and Williams [15] found a necessary condition which is nearly sufficient; we relax their subtle measurability hypotheses separating necessity fro…

Optimal transportation, topology and uniqueness

The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing the goods to be transported possess (non-trivial) topology. This question turns out to be closely linked to a delicate problem (# 111) of Birkhoff [14]: give a necessary and sufficient condition on the support of a joint probability to guarantee extremality among all measures which share its marginals. Fifty years of progress on Birkhoff's question culminate …

Transportation Cost Inequalities for Neutral Functional Stochastic Equations

By using Girsanov transformation and martingale representation, Talagrand-type transportation cost inequalities, with respect to both the uniform and the $L^2$ distances on the global free path space, are established for the segment process associated to a class of neutral functional stochastic differential equations. Neutral functional stochastic partial differential equations are also investigated.

On intermediate Marginals in Martingale Optimal Transportation

We study the influence of additional intermediate marginal distributions on the value of the martingale optimal transport problem. From a financial point of view, this corresponds to taking into account call option prices not only, as usual, for those call options where the respective future maturities coincide with the maturities of some exotic derivative but also additional maturities and then to study the effect on model-independent price bounds for the exotic derivative. We characterize market settings, i.e., combinations of the payoff of exotic derivatives, call option prices and marginal…

The CLT in high dimensions: quantitative bounds via martingale embedding

We introduce a new method for obtaining quantitative convergence rates for the central limit theorem (CLT) in a high dimensional setting. Using our method, we obtain several new bounds for convergence in transportation distance and entropy, and in particular: (a) We improve the best known bound, obtained by the third named author, for convergence in quadratic Wasserstein transportation distance for bounded random vectors; (b) We derive the first non-asymptotic convergence rate for the entropic CLT in arbitrary dimension, for general log-concave random vectors; (c) We give an improved bound for…

Maximization of Functionals Depending on the Terminal Value and the Running Maximum of a Martingale: A Mass Transport Approach

It is known that the Azema-Yor solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem maximizes the law of the running maximum of an uniformly integrable martingale with given terminal value distribution. Recently this optimality property has been generalized to expectations of certain bivariate cost functions depending on the terminal value and the running maximum. In this paper we give an extension of this result to another class of functions. In particular, we study a class of cost functions with the property that the corresponding optimal embeddings are not Azema-Yor. The suggested approach is quite …

Regularity of Schrödinger's functional equation in the weak topology and moment measures

We study the continuity and the measurability of the solution to Schrödinger's functional equation, with respect to space, kernel and marginals, provided the space of all Borel probability measures is endowed with the weak topology. This is a continuation of our previous result where the space of all Borel probability measures was endowed with the strong topology. As an application, we construct a convex function of which the moment measure is a given probability measure, by the zero noise limit of a class of stochastic optimal transportation problems.

On the Robust superhedging of measurable claims

The problem of robust hedging requires to solve the problem of superhedging under a nondominated family of singular measures. Recent progress was achieved by [9,11]. We show that the dual formulation of this problem is valid in a context suitable for martingale optimal transportation or, more generally, for optimal transportation under controlled stochastic dynamics.

Concentration of measure without independence: a unified approach via the martingale method

The concentration of measure phenomenon may be summarized as follows: a function of many weakly dependent random variables that is not too sensitive to any of its individual arguments will tend to take values very close to its expectation. This phenomenon is most completely understood when the arguments are mutually independent random variables, and there exist several powerful complementary methods for proving concentration inequalities, such as the martingale method, the entropy method, and the method of transportation inequalities. The setting of dependent arguments is much less well unders…

On a problem of optimal transport under marginal martingale constraints

The basic problem of optimal transportation consists in minimizing the expected costs $\mathbb {E}[c(X_1,X_2)]$ by varying the joint distribution $(X_1,X_2)$ where the marginal distributions of the random variables $X_1$ and $X_2$ are fixed. Inspired by recent applications in mathematical finance and connections with the peacock problem, we study this problem under the additional condition that $(X_i)_{i=1,2}$ is a martingale, that is, $\mathbb {E}[X_2|X_1]=X_1$. We establish a variational principle for this problem which enables us to determine optimal martingale transport plans for specific …

Concentration of Measure Inequalities and Their Communication and Information-Theoretic Applications

During the last two decades, concentration of measure has been a subject of various exciting developments in convex geometry, functional analysis, statistical physics, high-dimensional statistics, probability theory, information theory, communications and coding theory, computer science, and learning theory. One common theme which emerges in these fields is probabilistic stability: complicated, nonlinear functions of a large number of independent or weakly dependent random variables often tend to concentrate sharply around their expected values. Information theory plays a key role in the deriv…
