Majorizing-measure bounds in the realized square-function metric

Witold M. Bednorz, Rafał M. Łochowski

The predictable square function measures the size of a martingale. Applied to parameter differences, it also defines a random pseudometric. We explain how to perform a majorizing-m…

Soohak: A Mathematician-Curated Benchmark for Evaluating Research-level Math Capabilities of LLMs

Guijin Son, Seungone Kim, Catherine Arnett +73

Following the recent achievement of gold-medal performance on the IMO by frontier LLMs, the community is searching for the next meaningful and challenging target for measuring LLM…

Concentration of the truncated variation of fractional Brownian motions of any Hurst index, their -variations and local times

Witold M. Bednorz, Rafał M. Łochowski

We obtain bounds for probabilities of deviations of the truncated variation functional of fractional Brownian motions (fBm) of any Hurst index from their expected val…

The It{ô}-Föllmer formula -- nonstandard cases

W. M. Bednorz, R. M. Łochowski, P. L. Zondi +2

The purpose of this note is to prove the It{ô}-Föllmer formula for the càdlàg paths possessing quadratic variation in a possibly ``weakest'' sense along some sequence of partitions…

Quadratic variation and local times of the horizontal component of the Peano curve (square filling curve)

Phumlani L. Zondi, Darlington Hove, Rafał M. Łochowski +1

We show that the horizontal component of the Peano curve has quadratic variation equal the limit of quadratic variations along the Lebesgue partitions for grids of the form $3^{-n}…

Local times of deterministic paths with finite variation

Darlington Hove, Farai J. Mhlanga, Rafał M. Łochowski +1

In this note, we define the numbers of level crossings by a c{à}dl{à}g (RCLL) real function and, in analogy to the work of Bertoin and Yor [BY14] we…

Local times of deterministic paths and self-similar processes with stationary increments as normalized numbers of interval crossings

Witold Bednorz, Purba Das, Rafał Łochowski

We prove a general result on a relationship between a limit of normalized numbers of interval crossings by a càdlàg path and an occupation measure associated with this path. Using…

Level crossings of fractional Brownian motion

Purba Das, Rafał Łochowski, Toyomu Matsuda +1

Since the classical work of Lévy, it is known that the local time of Brownian motion can be characterized through the limit of level crossings. While subsequent extensions of this…

Moments and tails of hitting times of Bessel processes and convolutions of elementary mixtures of exponential distributions

W. M. Bednorz, R. M. Łochowski

We present explicit estimates of right and left tails and exact (up to universal, multiplicative constants) estimates of tails and moments of hitting times of Bessel processes. The…

One-dimensional game-theoretic differential equations

Rafał M. Łochowski, Nicolas Perkowski, David J. Prömel

We provide a very brief introduction to typical paths and the corresponding Itô type integration. Relying on this robust Itô integration, we prove an existence and uniqueness resul…

On tails of exit times of multidimensional Lévy processes

Rafał Marcin Łochowski

Using a very simple argument based on the indepenence of increments and the fact that in a finite dimensional space there are not too many directions, we derive a theorem s…

Lesiba Ch. Galane, Rafał M. Łochowski, Farai J. Mhlanga

We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of SDEs with Lipschitz coefficients, driven by continuous, model-free martingales. The main tool in our reasoning is Picard's ite…

On tails of symmetric and totally asymmetric -stable distributions

Witold M. Bednorz, Rafał M. Łochowski, Rafał Martynek

We estimate up to universal constants tails of symmetric and totally asymmetric 1-dimensional -stable distributions in terms of functions of the parameters of these distribution…

Quadratic variation of càdlàg semimartingales as a.s. limit of the normalized truncated variations

Rafał M. Łochowski

For a real càdlàg path we define sequence of semi-explicit quantities, which do not depend on any partitions and such that whenever is a path of a càdlàg semimartingale the…

Moments approach to the concentration properties of truncated variation

Witold Bednorz, Rafal Lochowski

In this paper we show an alternative approach to the concentration of truncated variation for stochastic processes on a real line. Our method is based on the moments control and ca…

Integration with respect to model-free price paths with jumps

Rafał M. Łochowski

For every adapted, càglàd process (strategy) and typical càdlàg price paths whose jumps satisfy some mild growth condition we define integral as a limit of simple in…

Using truncated variation techniques we obtain an improved version of the Loeve-Young inequality for the Riemann-Stieltjes integrals driven by rough paths. This allowed us to stren…
