AbstractWe unify and establish equivalence between the pathwise and the quasi-sure approaches to robust modelling of financial markets in finite discrete time. In particular, we prove a fundamental theorem of asset pricing and a superhedging theorem which encompass the formulations of Bouchard and Nutz [12] and Burzoni et al. [13]. In bringing the two streams of literature together, we examine and compare their many different notions of arbitrage. We also clarify the relation between robust and classical ℙ-specific results. Furthermore, we prove when a superhedging property with respect to the set of martingale measures supported on a set $\Omega $ Ω of paths may be extended to a pathwise superhedging on $\Omega $ Ω without changing the superhedging price.

We examine the connection between discrete‐time models of financial markets and the celebrated Black–Scholes–Merton (BSM) continuous‐time model in which “markets are complete.” Suppose that (a) the probability law of a sequence of discrete‐time models converges to the law of the BSM model and (b) the largest possible one‐period step in the discrete‐time models converges to zero. We prove that, under these assumptions, every bounded and continuous contingent claim can be asymptotically synthesized, controlling for the risks taken in a manner that implies, for instance, that an expected‐utility‐maximizing consumer can asymptotically obtain as much utility in the (possibly incomplete) discrete‐time economies as she can at the continuous‐time limit. Hence, in economically significant ways, many discrete‐time models with frequent trading resemble the complete‐markets model of BSM.
