The present paper considers a class of financial market with transaction costs and constructs a geometric no-arbitrage analysis frame. Then, this paper arrives at the fact that this financial market is of no-arbitrage if and only if the curvature 2-form of a specific connection is zero. Furthermore, this paper derives the fact that the no-arbitrage condition for the one-period financial market is equivalent to the geometric no-arbitrage condition. Finally, an example states the equivalence between the geometric no-arbitrage condition and the existence of the solutions for a maximization problem of expected utility.

Assuming that the forward rates ftu are semimartingales, we give conditions on their components under which the discounted bond prices are martingales. To achieve this, we give sufficient conditions for the integrated processes ftu=∫0uftvdv to be semimartingales, and identify their various components. We recover the no-arbitrage conditions in models well known in the literature and, finally, we formulate a new random field model for interest rates and give its equivalent martingale measure (no-arbitrage) condition.

Barton L. Lipman of Boston University reviews “Theory of Decision under Uncertainty” by Itzhak Gilboa,. The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins “Textbook for a graduate-level class in decision under uncertainty examines the classical axiomatic theories of decision under uncertainty and considers critiques and alternative theories. Discusses motivating examples; free will and determinism; the principle of indifference; relative frequencies; subjective probabilities; a case study; the role of theories; von Neumann-Morgenstern’s theorem; De Finetti’s theorem; Savage’s theorem; the definition of states; a critique of Savage; objectivity and rationality; Anscombe-Aumann’s theory; Choquet expected utility; prospect theory; maxmin expected utility; case-based qualitative beliefs; and frequentism revisited. Gilboa is Professor in the Berglas School of Economics at Tel-Aviv University and Professor in the Department of Economics and Decision Science at HEC Paris. Index.”

Assuming that the forward rates f t u are semimartingales, we give conditions on their components under which the discounted bond prices are martingales. To achieve this, we give sufficient conditions for the integrated processes f t u =∫0 uf t v dv to be semimartingales, and identify their various components. We recover the no-arbitrage conditions in models well known in the literature and, finally, we formulate a new random field model for interest rates and give its equivalent martingale measure (no-arbitrage) condition.
