Towards the higher point holographic momentum space amplitudes
In this paper, we calculate higher point tree level vector amplitudes
propagating in AdS. We use bulk perturbation theory to compute tree level
Witten diagrams. We show that when these amplitudes are written in momentum
space, they reduce to relatively simple expressions. We explicitly compute four
and five point correlators and also sketch a general strategy to compute the
full six-point correlators.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures, minor typos corrected, journal versio
Martingale Optimal Transport and Robust Hedging in Continuous Time
The duality between the robust (or equivalently, model independent) hedging
of path dependent European options and a martingale optimal transport problem
is proved. The financial market is modeled through a risky asset whose price is
only assumed to be a continuous function of time. The hedging problem is to
construct a minimal super-hedging portfolio that consists of dynamically
trading the underlying risky asset and a static position of vanilla options
which can be exercised at the given, fixed maturity. The dual is a
Monge-Kantorovich type martingale transport problem of maximizing the expected
value of the option over all martingale measures that has the given marginal at
maturity. In addition to duality, a family of simple, piecewise constant
super-replication portfolios that asymptotically achieve the minimal
super-replication cost is constructed
