51 Motivation 2: revisited Theorem Assume that the terminal condition is of the form g(w T ), g takes value in M 0, where M 0 = φ 1 ((, 0]) for some convex function. Moreover, (covariant) Hessian of φ is strictly positive on M 0. Then there exists a Γ-martingale, it takes values in M / 23
52 Motivation 2: revisited Theorem Assume that the terminal condition is of the form g(w T ), g takes value in M 0, where M 0 = φ 1 ((, 0]) for some convex function. Moreover, (covariant) Hessian of φ is strictly positive on M 0. Then there exists a Γ-martingale, it takes values in M 0. Remark: (covariant) Hassian positive definite is called geodesically convex. Existence of φ is ensured by geometric argument [Kendall 90]: manifold with negative sectional curvature, or small ball on manifold with positive curvature. Partial positive answer to Conjecture 7.2 in [Darling 95]: doubly convex geometry is not needed. Smallness assumption is needed for manifold with positive curvature [Chang-Ding-Ye 92] 19 / 23
