In mathematics and information theory of probability, a sigma-martingale is a semimartingale with an integral representation. Sigma-martingales were introduced by C.S. Chou and M. Emery in 1977 and 1978. In financial mathematics, sigma-martingales appear in the fundamental theorem of asset pricing as an equivalent condition to no free lunch with vanishing risk (a no-arbitrage condition).

Mathematical definition

An R d {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{d}} -valued stochastic process X = ( X t ) t = 0 T {\displaystyle X=(X_{t})_{t=0}^{T}} is a sigma-martingale if it is a semimartingale and there exists an R d {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{d}} -valued martingale M and an M-integrable predictable process ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } with values in R + {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} _{+}} such that

X = ϕ M . {\displaystyle X=\phi \cdot M.}
