Contractivity results in ordered spaces. Applications to relative operator bounds and projections with norm one

This paper provides various “contractivity” results for linear operators of the form where C are positive contractions on real ordered Banach spaces X . If A generates a positive contraction semigroup in Lebesgue spaces , we show (M. Pierre's result) that is a “contraction on the positive cone ”, i.e. for all provided that .  We show also that this result is not true for 1 ⩽ . We give an extension of M. Pierre's result to general ordered Banach spaces X under a suitable uniform monotony assumption on the duality map on the positive cone . We deduce from this result that, in such spaces, is a contraction on for any positive projection C with norm 1. We give also a direct proof (by E. Ricard) of this last result if additionally the norm is smooth on the positive cone. For any positive contraction C on base‐norm spaces X (e.g. in real spaces or in preduals of hermitian part of von Neumann algebras), we show that for all where N is the canonical half‐norm in X . For any positive contraction C on order‐unit spaces X (e.g. on the hermitian part of a algebra), we show that is a contraction on . Applications to relative operator bounds, ergodic projections and conditional expectations are given.

Conditional tail risk measures for the skewed generalised hyperbolic family

This paper deals with the estimation of loss severity distributions arising from historical data on univariate and multivariate losses. We present an innovative theoretical framework where a closed-form expression for the tail conditional expectation (TCE) is derived for the skewed generalised hyperbolic (GH) family of distributions. The skewed GH family is especially suitable for equity losses because it allows to capture the asymmetry in the distribution of losses that tends to have a heavy right tail. As opposed to the widely used Value-at-Risk, TCE is a coherent risk measure, which takes into account the expected loss in the tail of the distribution. Our theoretical TCE results are verified for different distributions from the skewed GH family including its special cases: Student-t, variance gamma, normal inverse gaussian and hyperbolic distributions. The GH family and its special cases turn out to provide excellent fit to univariate and multivariate data on equity losses. The TCE risk measure computed for the skewed family of GH distributions provides a conservative estimator of risk, addressing the main challenge faced by financial companies on how to reliably quantify the risk arising from the loss distribution. We extend our analysis to the multivariate framework when modelling portfolios of losses, allowing the multivariate GH distribution to capture the combination of correlated risks and demonstrate how the TCE of the portfolio can be decomposed into individual components, representing individual risks in the aggregate (portfolio) loss.

Characterization of set‐valued conditional expectation

For an essentially bounded closed‐convex‐nonempty set‐valued random variable, it is shown that the conditional expectation is characterized by its integrals over the sets of the associated σ ‐field. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Boundedness of Sublinear Operators in Herz Spaces on Vilenkin Groups and its Application

The authors establish the boundedness of some sublinear operators in weighted Herz spaces on Vilenkin groups under certain weak local hypotheses on the size of these operators at the identity. This class of operators includes most of the important operators in harmonic analysis on Vilenkin groups. The main theorems are best possible under the conditions of the theorems. As applications, the authors establish the Littlewood-Paley function characterization of some Herz spaces and the relations between Herz spaces and Herz-type Hardy spaces.     

Finitely Additive Supermartingales

The concept of finitely additive supermartingales, originally due to Bochner, is revived and developed. We exploit it to study measure decompositions over filtered probability spaces and the properties of the associated Doléans-Dade measure. We obtain versions of the Doob–Meyer decomposition and, as an application, we establish a version of the Bichteler and Dellacherie theorem with no exogenous probability measure. I am indebted to an anonymous referee for several helping suggestions.
