12 8 Martingale Problem Theorem [Krylov( 71), Stroock & Varadhan( 79), Bass & Pardoux( 87)] Suppose that the coefficients G( ) and a( ) := SS ( ) are bounded and measurable, and that a( ) is uniformly positive-definite and piecewise constant in each wedge. For each y 0 R n there is a unique one probability measure P on C([0, ), R n ) such that P(Y 0 = y 0 ) = 1 and t f (Y t ) f (Y 0 ) L f (Y s ) d s ; 0 0 t < is a P local martingale for every f C 2 (R 2 ) where L f (x) = 1 n 2 i,j=1 a ij(x)d ij f (x) + n i=1 G i(x)d i f (x) ; x R n. This implies that the hybrid Atlas model is well-defined.

Assume σ k > 0, (g k, 1 k n), (γ i, 1 i n) and γ are real constants with stability conditions n n g k + γ i = 0, k=1 i=1 k (g l +γ p(l) ) < 0, k = 1,..., n 1, p Σ n. l=1 γ i = 0, 1 i n, g 1 = = g n 1 = g < 0, g n = (n 1)g > 0. γ i = 1 (2i)/(n + 1), 1 i n, g k = 1, k = 1,..., n 1, g n = n 1.

17 Model Summary The log-capitalization Y = log X follows d Y i (t) = ( γ + + n k=1 n k=1 g k 1 (i) Q (Y (t)) + γ i )d t k σ k 1 (i) Q (Y (t))d W i (t) ; 0 t < k where σ k > 0, (g k, 1 k n), (γ i, 1 i n) and γ are real constants with stability conditions n n g k + γ i = 0, k=1 i=1 k (g l +γ p(l) ) < 0, k = 1,..., n 1, p Σ n. l=1

Proposition Under the assumptions the deviations Ỹ ( ) := (Y 1 ( ) Y ( ),..., Y n ( ) Y ( )) from the average are stable in distribution, i.e., there is a unique invariant probability measure µ( ) such that for every bounded, measurable function f we have the Strong Law of Large Numbers 1 T lim f (Ỹ T T (t)) d t = f (y)µ(d y), 0 Π where Π := {y R n : y y n = 0}. a.s.

20 13 Average occupation times Especially taking f ( ) = 1 Rp ( ) or 1 (i) Q ( ), we define from µ k the average occupation time of X in R p or Q (i) k : 1 T θ p := µ(r p ) = lim 1 Rp (X(t))d t T T θ k,i := µ(q (i) k ) = lim T 1 T 0 T 0 1 (i) Q (X(t))d t, 1 k, i n, k since 1 Rp (Ỹ ( )) = 1 R p (X( )) and 1 (i) Q (X( )) = 1 (i) k Q (Ỹ ( )). By k definition 0 θ k,i = {p Σ n:p(k)=i} θ p 1 for 1 k, i n, n l=1 θ l,i = n j=1 θ k,j = 1 for 1 k, i n. What is the invariant distribution µ?

21 Attainability One-dimensional Brownian motion attains the origin infinitely often. Two-dimensional Brownian motion does not attain the origin. Does the process X( ) attain the origin? t t X(t) = X(0) + b(x(s)) d s + σ(x(s))d W (s) 0 0 where b and σ are bounded measurable functions. Friedman( 74), Bass & Pardoux( 87).

22 15 Effective Dimension Let us define effective dimension ED( ) by ED(x) = trace(a(x)) x 2 x A(x)x where A( ) = σ( )σ( ). ; x R n \ {0}, Proposition Suppose X(0) 0. If inf x R n \{0} ED(x) 2, then X( ) does not attain the origin. If sup x R n \{0} ED(x) < 2 and if there is no drift, i.e., b( ) 0, then X( ) attains the origin. Exterior Dirichlet Problem by Meyers and Serrin( 60). Removal of drift by Girsanov s theorem. If there is drift, take [trace(a(x))+x b(x)] x 2 x A(x)x.

23 16 Triple collision Now consider triple collision: { Xi (t) = X j (t) = X k (t) for some t > 0, 1 i < j < k n }. What is the probability of triple collision? Fix i = 1, j = 2, k = 3. Let us define the sum of squared distances: s 2 (x) := (x 1 x 2 ) 2 +(x 2 x 3 ) 2 +(x 3 x 1 ) 2 = x DD x ; x R n, where (n 3) matrix D is defined by D := (d 1, d 2, d 3 ) with d 1 := (1, 1, 0,..., 0), d 2 := (0, 1, 1, 0,..., 0), d 3 := ( 1, 0, 1,..., 0). Z := {x R n : s(x) = 0 }.

24 Define the local effective dimension: R(x) := trace(d A(x)D) x DD x x DD A(x)DD x ; x R n \ Z. Proposition Suppose s(x(0)) 0. If inf x R n \Z R(x) 2, then P(X 1 (t) = X 2 (t) = X 3 (t) for some t 0) = 0. If sup x R n \Z R(x) < 2 and if there is no drift, i.e., b( ) 0, then P(X 1 (t) = X 2 (t) = X 3 (t) for some t 0) = 1. R( ) 2 for n dim. BM, i.e., A( ) I. If there is drift, take [trace(d A(x)D)+x DD b(x)] x DD x x DD A(x)DD x. Idea of Proof: a comparison with Bessel process with dimension two. 17

R( ) 2 for n dim. BM, i.e., A( ) I. If there is drift, take [trace(d A(x)D)+x DD b(x)] x DD x x DD A(x)DD x. Idea of Proof: a comparison with Bessel process with dimension two. 17

R( ) 2 for n dim. BM, i.e., A( ) I. If there is drift, take [trace(d A(x)D)+x DD b(x)] x DD x x DD A(x)DD x. Idea of Proof: a comparison with Bessel process with dimension two. 17

Let us denote by Λ k,j (t) the local time accumulated at the origin by the nonnegative semimartingale Y (k) ( ) Y (j) ( ) up to time t for 1 k < j n. Theorem[Banner & Ghomrasni ( 07)] For a general class of semimartingale Y ( ), the rankings satisfy d Y (k) (t) = n i=1 1 (i) Q (Y (t))d Y i (t) k + (N k (t)) 1[ n l=k+1 k 1 ] d Λ k,l (t) d Λ l,k (t) l=1 where N k (t) is the cardinality {i : Y i (t) = Y (k) (t)}.

Let us denote by Λ k,j (t) the local time accumulated at the origin by the nonnegative semimartingale Y (k) ( ) Y (j) ( ) up to time t for 1 k < j n. Lemma Under the non-degeneracy condition σ k > 0 for k = 1,..., n, dy (k) (t) = ( γ + g k n i=1 for k = 1,..., n, 0 t T. ) γ i 1 (i) Q (Y (t)) d t + σ k d B k (t) k ] [ d Λ k,k+1 (t) d Λ k 1,k (t) Idea of Proof: a comparison with a Bessel process with dimension one to show Λ k,l ( ) 0, k l 2..

Lemma Under the non-degeneracy condition σ k > 0 for k = 1,..., n, dy (k) (t) = ( γ + g k n i=1 for k = 1,..., n, 0 t T. ) γ i 1 (i) Q (Y (t)) d t + σ k d B k (t) k ] [ d Λ k,k+1 (t) d Λ k 1,k (t) Idea of Proof: a comparison with a Bessel process with dimension one to show Λ k,l ( ) 0, k l 2..

30 20 Long-term growth relations Proposition Under the assumptions we obtain the following long-term growth relations: Y i (T ) log X i (T ) lim = lim = γ T T T T Thus the model is coherent: = lim T log n i=1 X i(t ) T 1 lim T T log µ i(t ) = 0 a.s.; i = 1,..., n a.s. where µ i ( ) = X i ( )/(X 1 ( ) + + X n ( )). Moreover, n g k θ k,i + γ i = 0 ; i = 1,..., n. k=1

31 n g k θ k,i + γ i = 0 ; i = 1,..., n. k=1 The log-capitalization Y grows with rate γ and follows d Y i (t) = ( γ + + n k=1 n k=1 g k 1 (i) Q (Y (t)) + γ i )d t k σ k 1 (i) Q (Y (t))d W i (t) ; 0 t < k for i = 1,..., n. The ranking (Y (1) ( ),..., Y (n) ( )) follows dy (k) (t) = ( γ + g k n i=1 for k = 1,..., n, 0 t <. ) γ i 1 (i) Q (Y (t)) d t + σ k d B k (t) k ] [ d Λ k,k+1 (t) d Λ k 1,k (t).

32 Semimartingale reflected Brownian motions The adjacent differences (gaps) Ξ( ) := (Ξ 1 ( ),..., Ξ n ( )) where Ξ k ( ) := Y (k) ( ) Y (k+1) ( ) for k = 1,..., n 1 can be seen as a semimartingale reflected Brownian motion (SRBM): Ξ(t) = Ξ(0) + ζ(t) + (I n Q)Λ(t) where ζ( ) := (ζ 1 ( ),..., ζ n ( )), Λ( ) := (Λ 1,2 ( ),..., Λ n 1,n ( )), ζ k ( ) := n i=1 0 1 (i) Q (Y (s)) d Y (s) k n i=1 0 1 (i) Q (Y (s)) d Y (s) k+1 for k = 1,..., n 1, and Q is an (n 1) (n 1) matrix with elements

33 23 Q := 0 1/2 1/2 0 1/2 1/ /2 1/2 0 Thus the gaps Ξ k := Y (k) ( ) Y (k+1) ( ) follow. Ξ(t) = Ξ(0) + ζ(t) }{{} + (I n Q)Λ(t) }{{} semimartingale reflection part In order to study the invariant measure µ, we apply the theory of semimartingale reflected Brownian motions developed by M. Harrison, M. Reiman, R. Williams and others. In addition to the model assumptions, we assume linearly growing variances: σ 2 2 σ2 1 = σ2 3 σ2 2 = = σ2 n σ 2 n 1.

34 Invariant distribution of gaps and index Let us define the indicator map R n x p x Σ n such that x p x (1) x p x (2) x p(n), and the index process P t := p Y (t). Proposition Under the stability and the linearly growing variance conditions the invariant distribution ν( ) of (Ξ( ), P ) is ( ν(a B) = n 1 q Σ n k=1 ) 1 λ 1 q,k exp( λ p, z )d z p Σ A n for every measurable set A B where λ p := (λ p,1,..., λ p,n 1 ) is the vector of components λ p,k := 4( k l=1 g l + γ p(l) ) σk 2 + > 0 ; p Σ n, 1 k n 1. σ2 k+1 Proof: an extension from M. Harrison and R. Williams ( 87).

35 25 Average occupation time Corollary The average occupation times are ( θ p = n 1 q Σ n k=1 λ 1 q,k ) 1 n 1 j=1 λ 1 p,j and θ k,i = {p Σ n:p(k)=i} θ p for p Σ n and 1 k, i n. (1,10) (10,10) 0.15 If all γi = 0 and σ 2 1 = σ2 n, then θ k,i = n 1 for 1 k, i n. Heat map of θk,i when n = 10, σ 2 k = 1 + k, g k = 1 for k = 1,..., 9, g 10 = 9, and γ i = 1 (2i)/(n + 1) for i = 1,..., n (k,i) (1,1) (10,1)

36 26 Market weights come from Pareto type Corollary The joint invariant distribution of market shares µ (i) ( ) := X (i) ( )/(X 1 ( ) + + X n ( )) ; i = 1,..., n has the density (m 1,..., m n 1 ) = λ p,1 λ p,n 1 θ p p Π n m λ p,1+1 1 m λ p,2 λ p, m λ p,n 1 λ p,n 2 +1 n 1 0 < m n m n 1... m 1 < 1, m n = 1 m 1 m n 1. This is a distribution of ratios of Pareto type disribution. m λ p,n 1+1 n,
