Geometric fractional Brownian motion (gfBm) e B is not a
semimartingale, and hence there are arbitrage opportunities by the
FTAP of Delbaen and Schachermayer. The known examples of
arbitrage are based on continuous trading [Dasgupta, Shiryaev,
Salopek], or more and more dense discontinuous trading [Rogers,
Cheridito]; but all these arbitrage strategies are apparently difficult
to realize in practice.
One can show that if one uses Skorohod integrals to define
self-financing strategies, the arbitrage disappears [Hu-Øksendal,
Elliot-van den Hook], but this kind of integrals are difficult to
interpret economically [Sottinen-Valkeila, Björk-Hult].
In pricing model with transaction costs the arbitrage opportunities
with gfBm again disappear [Guasoni,
Guasoni-Rásonyi-Schachermayer].

But our assumption imply that [M m , M m ]t → 0, as m → ∞.
P
With the Doob inequality we obtain that sup s≤t |Msm | → 0, and
fBm is the limit of a sequence of continuous processes with
bounded variation.

The Poisson probabilities pj (λ) are defined by pj (λ) = λj! e −λ for
λ > 0. One can include the value λ = 0 by defining p j (0) = δj0 ,

Let WT be a functional of the price process path S t , 0 ≤ t ≤ T . If
the price process S has a state sk (T ), then the value functional
WT has a state wk (T ). Recall that a market model is complete, if
we can find a self-financing strategy π such that

From (2) we obtain that αm → 0, γ m → 0, and if K > S0 , then
j0 → ∞, and if K < S0 , then j0 → −∞. Put this in (5) and we
obtain that the limiting price is (S 0 − K )+ .
