Formalizing the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein pricing of European derivatives in Isabelle/HOL

We formalize in the proof assistant Isabelle essential basic notions and results in financial mathematics. We provide generic formal definitions of concepts such as markets, portfolios, derivative products, arbitrages or fair prices, and we show that, under the usual no-arbitrage condition, the existence of a replicating portfolio for a derivative implies that the latter admits a unique fair price. Then, we provide a formalization of the Cox-Rubinstein model and we show that the market is complete in this model, i.e., that every derivative product admits a replicating portfolio. This entails that in this model, every derivative product admits a unique fair price.

Long-range exclusion processes, generator and invariant measures

We show that if $μ$ is an invariant measure for the long range exclusion process putting no mass on the full configuration, $L$ is the formal generator of that process and $f$ is a cylinder function, then $Lf\in\mathbf{L}^1(dμ)$ and $\int Lf dμ=0$. This result is then applied to determine (i) the set of invariant and translation-invariant measures of the long range exclusion process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ when the underlying random walk is irreducible; (ii) the set of invariant measures of the long range exclusion process on $\mathbb{Z}$ when the underlying random walk is irreducible and either has zero mean or allows jumps only to the nearest-neighbors.
