Martingale-Consistent Self-Supervised Learning
Self-supervised learning (SSL) is often deployed under changing information, such as shorter histories, missing features, or partially observed images. In these settings, predictions from coarse and refined views should be coherent: before refinement, the coarse-view prediction should match the average prediction expected after refinement. Martingales formalize this coherence principle, but standard SSL objectives do not enforce it. Unlike invariance objectives that pull views together, martingale consistency constrains only the expected refined prediction, allowing predictions to update as information is revealed while preventing systematic drift. We introduce a martingale-consistent SSL framework that closes this gap, with practical prediction- and latent-space variants and an unbiased two-sample Monte Carlo estimator based on stochastic refinement. We evaluate the approach on synthetic and real time-series, tabular, and image benchmarks under partial-observation regimes, in both semi-self-supervised and fully label-free settings. Across these experiments, our framework improves robustness and calibration under partial observation, yielding more stable representations as information is revealed.

On the martingale-fair index of return for investment funds
A concept of martingale-fair index of return, consistent with Arbitrage Free Pricing Theory, is introduced. An explicit formula for the average rate of return of a group of investment/pension funds in a discrete time sto…
No arbitrage and multiplicative special semimartingales
Consider a financial market with nonnegative semimartingales which does not need to have a num\'{e}raire. We are interested in the absence of arbitrage in the sense that no self-financing portfolio gives rise to arbitrag…
Semimartingale price systems in models with transaction costs beyond efficient friction
A standing assumption in the literature on proportional transaction costs is efficient friction. Together with robust no free lunch with vanishing risk, it rules out strategies of infinite variation, as they usually appe…
FrictionPositive Semidefinite Matrix Supermartingales
We explore the asymptotic convergence and nonasymptotic maximal inequalities of supermartingales and backward submartingales in the space of positive semidefinite matrices. These are natural matrix analogs of scalar nonn…

The Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) and its joint-independence extension $d\mathrm{HSIC}$ are degenerate $V$-statistics whose data-dependent weighted-$χ^2$ null limits force a permutation calibration that m…
