Representation of Quasi-Monotone Functionals by Families of Separating Hyperplanes
We characterize when the level sets of a continuous quasi-monotone functional defined on a suitable convex subset of a normed space can be uniquely represented by a family of bounded continuous functionals. Furthermore, we investigate how regularly these functionals depend on the parameterizing level. Finally, we show how this question relates to the recent problem of property elicitation that simultaneously attracted interest in machine learning, statistical evaluation of forecasts, and finance.

Lower semicontinuity of monotone functionals in the mixed topology on $C_b$
The main result of this paper characterizes the continuity from below of monotone functionals on the space $C_b$ of bounded continuous functions on an arbitrary Polish space as lower semicontinuity in the mixed topology.…
Efficiency in Pure-Exchange Economies with Risk-Averse Monetary Utilities
We study Pareto efficiency in a pure-exchange economy where agents' preferences are represented by risk-averse monetary utilities. These coincide with law-invariant monetary utilities, and they can be shown to correspond…
Variational Representations of Annealing Paths: Bregman Information under Monotonic Embedding
Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for sampling from complex distributions and estimating normalization constants often simulate samples from a sequence of intermediate distributions along an annealing path, which bridges …
Law-invariant functionals on general spaces of random variables
We establish general versions of a variety of results for quasiconvex, lower-semicontinuous, and law-invariant functionals. Our results extend well-known results from the literature to a large class of spaces of random v…
Quasi-Logconvex Measures of Risk
This paper introduces and fully characterizes the novel class of quasi-logconvex measures of risk, to stand on equal footing with the rich class of quasi-convex measures of risk. Quasi-logconvex risk measures naturally g…
