Definition of predictable process












5












$begingroup$


I am trying to understand the notion of predictable process. Let $(Ω,F_t,P)$ be a filtered measure space, satisfying the usual condition. Things starts with the predictable $sigma$-algebra ${mathcal P}$, which is generated by sets of the form $Atimes (a,b]$ with $Ain{mathcal F}_a$ and $Atimes {0}$ with $Ain{mathcal F}_0$.



My question: is it true that $Sin {mathcal P}$ if and only if $S$ is progressive and ${omega|(omega,t)in S}in{mathcal F}_{t−}$ for all $t$? In another word, is it true that $X$ is predictable if and only if $X$ is progressive and $X$ is adapted to the filtration ${mathcal F}_{t−}$?



The only if part is easy but I am not sure about the if part. I feel that $X$ being ${mathcal F}_{t−}$-measurable seems to be a more "reasonable" definition of "predictable", but maybe I am wrong.

          No, it's not true.



          First of all, recall that any adapted càdlàg process $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is progressively measurable. This means that for any such process $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ your assertion reads




          $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is predictable $iff$ $X_{t}$ is $mathcal{F}_{t-}$-measurable for any $t geq 0$.




          Now consider for instance a Poisson process $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$, and let $(mathcal{F}_t)_{t geq 0}$ be its completed canonical filtration. By the very definition of $mathcal{F}_{t-}$, we know that $X_{t-} = lim_{s uparrow t} X_s$ is $mathcal{F}_{t-}$-measurable. Since $X_t = X_{t-}$ almost surely we find that $X_t$ is $mathcal{F}_{t-}$-measurable for any $t geq 0$. However, $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is not predictable. Indeed: If $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ was predictable, then



          $$M_t := X_t -t mathbb{E}(X_1), qquad t geq 0,$$



          would be a predictable martingale which would imply that $(M_t)_{t geq 0}$ has continuous sample paths (see e.g. here) which is clearly not true; hence $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is not predictable.
