摘要

We investigate duality and existence of dual optimizers for several adapted optimal transport problems under minimal assumptions. This includes the causal and bicausal transport, the causal and bicausal barycenter problem, and a multimarginal problem incorporating causality constraints. Moreover, we characterize polar sets in the causal and bicausal setting and discuss applications of our results in robust finance. We consider a non-dominated model of several financial markets where stocks are traded dynamically, but the joint stock dynamics are unknown. We show that a no-arbitrage assumption naturally leads to sets of multicausal couplings. Consequently, computing the robust superhedging price is equivalent to solving an adapted transport problem, and finding a superhedging strategy means solving the corresponding dual.
