4 A peacock is a stochastic process (X t, t 0), if (i) it is integrable, i.e. E[ X t ] <, t 0 ; (ii) it increases in convex ordering, i.e. for every convex function φ : R R, the map t E[φ(X t )] is increasing. Kellerer s theorem : Every peacock has the same one-dimensional marginals as a martingale (M t, t 0), i.e E[M t M r, 0 r s] = M s and X t M t in law for every t 0. Remarks : PCOC : Processus Croissant pour l Ordre Convexe. A peacock is determined by the family of one-dimensional marginal distributions. Martingale Transport, Skorokhod Embedding and

13 Martingale version of Brenier s theorem Brenier s theorem (Fréchet-Hoeffding coupling) in the one-dimensional case : when xy c > 0, the solution is given by the monotone transference plan T := F 1 1 F 0. Martingale version (Beiglbock-Juillet, Henry-Labordère -Touzi) : When xyy c > 0, the optimal solution is given by the left-monotone martingale transference plan (which is a binomial model). The transition kernel of the binomial model is, with T d (x) x T u (x), q(x) := x T d (x) T u(x) T d (x), T (x, dy) := q(x)δ Tu(x)(dy) + (1 q(x))δ Td (x)(dy). Martingale Transport, Skorokhod Embedding and

14 Martingale version of Brenier s theorem Determinate T u and T d : assume that δf := F 1 F 0 has only one local maximizer m. Coupled ODE, on [m, ), d(δf T d ) = (1 q)df 0, d(f 1 T u ) = qdf 0. Resolution of ODE : denote g(x, y) := F1 1 ( F0 (x) + δf (y) ), x [ F 1 1 (F 0 (ξ)) ξ ] df 0 (ξ) + Td (x) (g(x, ξ) ξ)dδf (ξ) = 0, T u (x) = g ( x, T d (x) ).

The static strategy (λ 0, λ 1 ) : λ 1 = c y (T 1, ) h T 1, T 1 = Tu 1 1 [m, ) + T 1 d λ 0 = q ( c(, T u ) λ 1 (T u ) ) + (1 q) ( c(, T d ) λ 1 (T d ) ). 1 (,m).

17 The multi-marginals case An easy extension to the multi-marginals case sup P M(µ 0,,µ n) E P[ n k=1 ] c(x k 1, X k ). The extremal model is a Markov chain (martingale), and the optimal dual strategies are all explicit. What happens if n? Do they converge? the criteria function, the Markov chain, the super hedging strategy. Does the limit keep the optimality? Martingale Transport, Skorokhod Embedding and
