Exit times for semimartingales under nonlinear expectation

Abstract

Let Eˆ be the upper expectation of a weakly compact but possibly non-dominated family P of probability measures. Assume that Y is a d-dimensional P-semimartingale under Eˆ. Given an open set Q⊂Rd, the exit time of Y from Q is defined by τQ≔inf{t≥0:Yt∈Qc}.The main objective of this paper is to study the quasi-continuity properties of τQ under the nonlinear expectation Eˆ. Under some additional assumptions on the growth and regularity of Y, we prove that τQ∧t is quasi-continuous if Q satisfies the exterior ball condition. We also give the characterization of quasi-continuous processes and related properties on stopped processes. In particular, we obtain the quasi-continuity of exit times for multi-dimensional G-martingales, which nontrivially generalizes the previous one-dimensional result of Song (2011).
