Abstract

The paper develops multiplicative compensation for complex-valued semimartingales and studies some of its consequences. It is shown that the stochastic exponential of any complex-valued semimartingale with independent increments becomes a true martingale after multiplicative compensation, where such compensation is meaningful. This generalization of the L\'evy-Khintchin formula fills an existing gap in the literature. We further report Girsanov-type results based on non-negative multiplicatively compensated semimartingales. In particular, we obtain a simplified expression for the multiplicative compensator under the new measure.
