Arbitrage Opportunities in Diverse Markets via a Non-equivalent Measure Change

We study arbitrage opportunities in diverse markets as introduced by Fernholz (J Math Econ 31:393-417, 1999). By a change of measure technique we are able to generate a variety of diverse markets. The construction is based on an absolutely continuous but non-equivalent measure change which implies the existence of instantaneous arbitrage opportunities in diverse markets. For this technique to work, we single out a crucial non-degeneracy condition. Moreover, we discuss the dynamics of the price process under the new measure as well as further applications.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
