Strict Local Martingales via Filtration Enlargement

A strict local martingale is a local martingale that is not a martingale. We investigate how such a process might arise from a true martingale as a result of an enlargement of the filtration. We study and implement a particular type of enlargement, initial expansion of filtration, for various stochastic differential equations and provide sufficient conditions in each of these cases such that initial expansion can create a strict local martingale under an equivalent probability measure. Such situations arise in the theory of Mathematical Finance.
