3 Monge Optimal Transport Given: Probabilities µ, ν on R. Reward (cost) function f : R R R. Objective: Find a map T : R R satisfying ν = T 1 µ such as to maximize the total reward, max f (x, T (x)) µ(dx). T Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 2 / 20
4 Monge Kantorovich Optimal Transport Relaxation: Find a probability P on R R with marginals µ, ν such as to maximize the reward: max E P [f (X, Y )], where Π(µ, ν) := {P : P 1 = µ, P 2 = ν} P Π(µ,ν) and (X, Y ) = Id R R. P Π(µ, ν) is a Monge transport if of the form P = µ δ T (x). Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 3 / 20
5 Example: Hoeffding Frechet Coupling Theorem: Let f (x, y) = g(y x) where g is strictly concave and sufficiently integrable. Then the optimal P is given by the Hoeffding Frechet Coupling: P is the law of ((F µ ) 1, (F ν ) 1 ) under the uniform measure on [0, 1]. If µ is diffuse, P is of Monge type with T = (F ν ) 1 F µ. P is characterized by monotonicity: if (x, y), (x, y ) supp(p) and if x < x, then y y. Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 4 / 20
6 Kantorovich Duality Buy ϕ(x ) at price µ(ϕ) := E µ [ϕ] and ψ(y ) at ν(ψ) to superhedge, f (X, Y ) ϕ(x ) + ψ(y ). Then for all P Π(µ, ν), E P [f (X, Y )] E P [ϕ(x ) + ψ(y )] = µ(ϕ) + ν(ψ). Theorem (Kantorovich, Kellerer): For any measurable f 0, sup E P [f (X, Y )] = inf µ(ϕ) + ν(ψ) P Π(µ,ν) ϕ,ψ and dual optimizers ˆϕ, ˆψ exist.

23 Duality for Martingale Optimal Transport In analogy to Monge Kantorovich duality we want: (1) No duality gap: sup E P [f (X, Y )] = inf µ(ϕ) + ν(ψ). P M(µ,ν) ϕ,ψ,h (2) Dual existence: ˆϕ, ˆψ, ĥ. Theorem (Beiglböck, Henry-Labordère, Penkner): For upper semicontinuous f 0, there is no duality gap. Dual existence fails in general, even if f is bounded, continuous and µ, ν are compactly supported. Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 11 / 20

25 An Example with Duality Gap Let f be the bounded, lower semicontinuous function { 0 on the diagonal, f (x, y) = 1 x y = 1 off the diagonal. Let µ = ν = Lebesgue measure on [0, 1]. There exists a unique martingale transport P, concentrated on the diagonal (T (x) = x). Primal value: sup P M(µ,ν) E P [f (X, Y )] = 0. Dual optimizers exist, ˆϕ = 1, ˆψ = 0, ĥ = 0 but there is a duality gap: dual value = 1 > 0. Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 12 / 20

27 Financial Intuition Earlier work considered model uncertainty over a set P of real-world models (with finitely many traded options). P-q.s. version of the FTAP: Theorem (Bouchard, N.): Let M = {calibrated martingale measures Q P}. Then No arbitrage NA(P) P and M have same polar sets and under this condition, quasi-sure duality holds with existence. Reverse-engineered: To avoid arbitrage, neglect events not seen by M.

29 Ordinary and Martingale OT: What is the Difference? In ordinary OT, all roads x y can be used. E.g., in the discrete case, µ ν already has full support. Theorem (Kellerer): A R R is Π(µ, ν)-polar if and only if A (N 1 R) (R N 2 ), where µ(n 1 ) = ν(n 2 ) = 0. Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 14 / 20

32 Potential Functions Potential u µ (x) := t x µ(dt) = E[ X x ] under any P M(µ, ν). µ c ν u µ u ν. If u µ (x) = u ν (x); i.e. E[ X x ] = E[ Y x ] ( ), then x is a barrier for any martingale transport: 1. Jensen: X x = E[Y X ] x = E[Y x X ] E[ Y x X ] 2. Under ( ), it follows that X x = E[ Y x X ] a.s. Hence, E[ Y x 1 X x ] = E[ X x 1 X x ] = E[(X x)1 X x ] = E[(Y x)1 X x ] so that Y x a.s. on {X x}. Partition R into intervals {u µ < u ν }.

35 Duality Result Theorem Let f 0 be measurable and consider the quasi-sure relaxation of the dual problem: f (X, Y ) ϕ(x ) + ψ(y ) + h(x )(Y X ) M(µ, ν)-q.s. Then, (1) there is no duality gap, (2) dual optimizers ˆϕ, ˆψ, ĥ exist. The superhedge is pointwise on each component (e.g., µ = δ x0 ). Dual existence in the pointwise formulation typically fails as soon as there is more than one component. Application as in the FTOT. Marcel Nutz (Columbia) Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Finance 18 / 20
36 Key Idea for the Proof Core step: make almost-optimal ϕ n, ψ n converge. Control ϕ n, ψ n by a single, convex function χ n. Suppose there is only one component; thus ν µ > c 0. After a normalization, χ n (0) = χ n(0) = 0 and 0 χ n d(ν µ) const. This bounds the convexity of χ n. Relative compactness of (χ n ). Relative compactness of (ϕ n, ψ n ); Komlos.

37 Conclusion The quasi-sure formulation ( model uncertainty ) seems to be a natural setup for the Martingale Optimal Transport problem. One may expect this to be true for a larger class of problems; in particular, if discontinuous reward functions are involved or attainment is desired. Thank you.
