Key Concepts

Martingales

Martingales are a class of stochastic processes characterized by the property that their conditional expectation at a future time, given present and past information, equals their current value. This concept is fundamental in stochastic analysis as many stochastic integrals (like those defined by Itô integrals) inherit the martingale property, provided the integrands are appropriately adapted, which in turn facilitates many important theoretical results and applications.

Square-Integrability

Square-integrability is a property indicating that the expected value of the square of a process is finite over a given interval. In the context of stochastic processes and spaces like M_T^2, this property is crucial as it ensures that the processes have finite variance and belong to a Hilbert space, permitting the use of orthogonal projections and convergence theorems.

Itô Isometry

Itô isometry is a fundamental property in stochastic calculus that equates the L2 norm (or second moment) of a stochastic integral with the L2 norm of its integrand. Specifically, it states that the expected square of the Itô integral is equal to the integral over time of the expected square of the integrand. This result ensures that if the integrand is square-integrable, then the stochastic integral is also square-integrable.

Stochastic Integral

A stochastic integral is an integral where the integrator is a stochastic process, such as Brownian motion. Its definition involves constructing the integral as the limit in probability (often in an L2 sense) of sums where the integrand is evaluated at discrete time points. This concept is key in defining processes driven by randomness and is the basis of many models in financial mathematics and other applications.
