Martingales and Stochastic Analysis James Yeh Th 8.13

141 Views Asked by At

Can someone check if the proof of theorem 8.13 of the book Martingales and Stochastic Analysis by James Yeh is correct (link here: https://goo.gl/ivxJnv, the Google Book version).

Note line 11, page 135 - "On the set $\{S \leq t \}$, we have $X_{S\wedge t} = X_t$ ...". Isn't that clearly wrong? I think the author confused $\{S\leq t\}$ with $\{S> t\}$ and the argument is wrong from line 3. Line 7 also claims $A \cap \{S > t \} \in \mathcal{F}_t$ since $A \in \mathcal{F}_S$, isn't this also wrong? $A \in \mathcal{F}_S$ implies $A \cap \{S\leq t\} \in \mathcal{F}_t$ but not necessarily $A \cap \{S>t\}$ as well right? I think the argument can be fixed by replacing $\{S > t\}$ with $\{S\leq t\}$ and vice versa (with the appropriate change in the argument that follows the switch). Can anyone confirm please?
