Black-Scholes Theory and Diffusion Processes on the Cotangent Bundle of the Affine Group

Abstract: The Black-Scholes partial differential equation (PDE) from mathematical finance has been analysed extensively and it is well known that the equation can be reduced to a heat equation on Euclidean space by a logarithmic transformation of variables. However, an alternative interpretation is proposed in this paper by reframing the PDE as evolving on a Lie group. This equation can be transformed into a diffusion process and solved using mean and covariance propagation techniques developed previously in the context… Show more

“…From the above, and the definition of conjugate momenta, , Therefore, the two phase spaces have volume elements that are related as: The determinant of the upper-triangular block matrix in the above equation is equal to 1, illustrating the invariance: The key to this result is how transforms in ( 40 ). A similar result holds in the Lie group setting wherein the cotangent bundle of a Lie group can be endowed with an operation making it unimodular even when the underlying group is not [ 45 ]. This is analogous to why ( 4 ) requires the metric tensor weighting and is coordinate dependent and ( 41 ) is not.…”
