- Title: Random times and RBSDEs
- Abstract:
In this talk, we will discuss three related topics. The first is the additive and multiplicative representation of the survival process of a finite honest time. We show that the survival process can be expressed as drawdown and relative drawdown of some optional supermartingale with continuous running supremum, and we recover the Madan-Roynette-Yor option pricing formula involving the last passage times of zero for optional semimartingales of class-sigma. The second is the construction of random time, where we extend using, multiplicative systems, the Madan-Roynette-Yor to all positive optional supermartingale and apply our results to construct random time with a given survival process. Finally motivated by the arbitrage-free pricing of European and American style contracts with the counterparty credit risk, we investigate the well-posedness of BSDE and RBSDE in the progressive enlargement of a reference filtration with a random time through the method of reduction.
