Abstract

In a model-independent discrete-time financial market, we discuss the richness of the family of martingale measures in relation to different notions of arbitrage, generated by a class S $\mathcal{S}$ of significant sets, which we call arbitrage de la classe S $\mathcal{S}$ . The choice of S $\mathcal{S}$ reflects the intrinsic properties of the class of polar sets of martingale measures. In particular, for S = { Ω } $\mathcal{S}=\{ \Omega\} $ , absence of model-independent arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a martingale measure; for S $\mathcal{S}$ being the open sets, absence of open arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of full support martingale measures. These results are obtained by adopting a technical filtration enlargement and by constructing a universal aggregator of all arbitrage opportunities. We further introduce the notion of market feasibility and provide its characterization via arbitrage conditions. We conclude providing a dual representation of open arbitrage in terms of weakly open sets of probability measures, which highlights the robust nature of this concept.
