Banach geometry of financial market models

Abstract

Banach geometric objects imitating a phenomenon of the type of the absence of arbitrage in financial markets models are analyzed. The role played in this field by reflexive subspaces (which replace classically considered finite-dimensional subspaces) and by plasterable cones is revealed. A series of new geometric criteria for the absence of arbitrage are proved. An alternative description of the existence of a martingale measure is given, which does not use dual objects.
