Martingales

by Ata Keskin

In the scope of this project, we present a formalization of martingales
in arbitrary Banach spaces.

The current formalization of conditional expectation in the Isabelle
library is limited to real-valued functions. To overcome this
limitation, we extend the construction of conditional expectation to
general Banach spaces, employing an approach similar to the one
described in "Analysis in Banach Spaces Volume I" by Hytönen et al. We
use measure theoretic arguments to construct the conditional expectation
using suitable limits of simple functions.

Subsequently, we define stochastic processes and introduce the concepts
of adapted, progressively measurable and predictable processes using
suitable locale definitions. […] Furthermore, we show that progressive
measurability and adaptedness are equivalent when the indexing set is
discrete. We pay special attention to predictable processes in
discrete-time, showing that is predictable if and only if is adapted.

Moving forward, we rigorously define martingales, submartingales, and
supermartingales, presenting their first consequences and corollaries.
Discrete-time martingales are given special attention in the
formalization. In every step of our formalization, we make extensive use
of the powerful locale system of Isabelle.

The formalization further contributes by generalizing concepts in
Bochner integration by extending their application from the real numbers
to arbitrary Banach spaces equipped with a second-countable topology.
Induction schemes for integrable simple functions on Banach spaces are
introduced, accommodating various scenarios with or without a real
vector ordering. Specifically, we formalize a powerful result called the
"Averaging Theorem" (Real and Functional Analysis, Serge Lang) which
allows us to show that densities are unique in Banach spaces.

In depth information on the formalization and the proofs of the
individual theorems can be found in the thesis linked below.
