"Probabilistic Aspects of Portfolio Analysis"
Abstract
We formulate and discuss notions such as growth rate, diversity, and
arbitrage, that arise naturally in the study and analysis of portfolios.
Relations among these notions are discussed, including examples of diverse
markets that lead to arbitrage opportunities; some optimization problems are
posed and solved; and a couple of open questions are suggested. (Joint work
with Robert Fernholz.)
