Can every discrete martingale be embedded in a continuous martingale?
Let $(X_k)_{k=0,1,..., n}$ be a discrete martingale defined on some probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$. I would like to know whether there exists a (continuous) martingale $(\tilde{X}...

A curious martingale
Does there exist an almost surely continuous martingale $X$ with $X_t \to +\infty$ almost surely?
Remark: Note that such a martingale exists in discrete time, or equivalently in continuous time if the ...

Bounded density for diffusions with diffusion coefficients bounded away from $0$
Consider a diffusion given by
$$X_t=\int_0^t a(s,X_s)\,dW_s$$
for $t\ge 0$, where $W_\cdot$ is a standard Wiener process/Brownian motion and $a$ is a smooth enough positive function bounded away from $...

The min of the mean of iid exponential variables
Let $X_1, \ldots, X_n, \ldots$ be iid exponential random variables with mean 1. It is well-known that $\min_{1\le j < \infty} \frac{X_1 + \cdots + X_j}{j}$ follows the uniform distribution U(0,1). ...

Can we construct close martingales if their terminal marginal laws are close?
Let $M=(M_t)_{0\le t\le 1}$ be a real-valued continuous martingale. Let $\mu := {\rm Law}(M_1)$ and $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$. For any $\nu$ satisfying $W_2(\mu,\nu)\le \varepsilon$, can we construct ...

$L^p$-convergence of submartingale
Let $p\geq1.$ Consider a $\mathcal{F}_k$-submartingale $(X_k)_k$ in $L^p.$ We can prove easily that $(X_k)_k$ converges in $L^p$ if and only if $(|X_k|^p)_k$ is uniformly integrable.
If $(X_k)_k$ was ...

When is every Levy martingale of a process a continuous martingale?
Let $X_t$ be a real valued stochastic process, and $\mathcal H_t$ the the natural filtration of $X_t$.
Under what conditions on $X$ does the following statement hold?
For every $\mathcal H_\infty$-...
