Optional projection under equivalent local martingale measures

Abstract

Motivation for this paper is to understand the impact of information on asset price bubbles and perceived arbitrage opportunities. This boils down to study optional projections of $\mathbb{G}$-adapted strict local martingales into a smaller filtration $\mathbb{F}$ under equivalent martingale measures. We give some general results as well as analyze in details two specific examples given by the inverse three dimensional Bessel process and a class of stochastic volatility models.
