the interviewer told me that int_0^T |W_t|dW_t is not a martingale.
I am really confused. by the martingale representation theorem, it should be
a martingale.
where is wrong?
Thanks for any explanation in advance.

well, first of all, I do not think all of the people on this board know the
answer,
maybe at least 50% of them do not know, just like me.
second, your reply just shows how arrogant you are, nothing else.

If they reject you only because you couldn't figure out the problems, just
let it be. I'm pretty sure you would have a hard time getting adapted to the
atmosphere even if you were hired.
A lot of ppl were asking how to solve xxx after the interviews. Someone gave
you the answer, probably after a 1/2/5/10/30 min consideration. So what?
You are expecting the same questions or the ones you were fully prepared for
in the next interview? From my experience, that really has a low
probability. And if you couldn't figure out a single question within the
first minute, you have already left an impression to the interviewer that
you are not solid on that part. And based on the various background of the
interviewers, it's just so simple to get you into troubles.
I'm not saying you shouldn't ask questions, but I really don't like some ppl
who are always listing a bunch of questions on the board saying "oh, here
are the real interview questions. I can't do this this and this, you guys
please help me". Just think about it. You believe you would pass the
interviews just by being able to solve all these problems? If you could, you
probably wouldn't stay here just asking questions but going to a top-tier
bank to launch your career.
So my point is pretty straightforward: do whatever you can and drop whatever
you can't. Be cool!

|W_t|是adapted process
也能找到一个simple process无限逼近|W_t|: 取|W(jT/n)|
所以这个Ito积分是有定义的
而且E{int_0^T |W_t|^2 dt} finite,所以应该是martingale
不知道这个interviewer是怎么想的。
//别被那些很negative的人和话影响,直接ignore.当然,实力才是硬道理。加油!

I think that it is your interviewer should go home to go over the definition
of the stochastic integral. Remember that, at the very beginning, we define
the stochastic integral M_T=int_0^T V_t dW_t for the processes V which are
square integrable: E(int_0^T V^2 dt)<\infty. And then it can be shown that
the process (M_t)_{0<=t<=T} is a square integrable martingale. This is just
your case since E(int_0^T |W_t|^2 dt)=int_0^T E(W_t)^2 dt=T^2/2<\infty.

write |w| as sqrt(w^2)
so w^2 = (sqrt(w^2))^2
so d(w^2)/dw = 2(sqrt(w^2))=2|w|
d|w|/dw= 2w/|w|
use ito on (|w|)^2
we can get
int_0^T |W_t|dW_t = 0.5* W^2 - 0.5 * int_0^T (W_t / |W_t|) dt
note in the case of
int_0^T W_t dW_t = 0.5* W^2 - 0.5 * t (expectation 0)
since W_t / |W_t| <= W_t / W_t = 1
E(int_0^T |W_t|dW_t ) > 0
so this is not a martingale

First of all, |W(t)| is F(t)-measurable, where F(t) is generated by W(t).
Secondly, E[\int_0^T|W_t|^2 dt] =\int_0^T E[|W_t|^2] dt=\int_0^T t dt=T^2/2
<\infty. This proves that it sufficiently satisfy ITO itegration
definition. Therefore it is a martingale. Here you can use standard machine and
L^P space definition for more rigorous proof on how to construct a general integrand from simple integrand.
Thirdly, E[[\int_0^T|W_t| dw(t)]^2]=E[\int_0^T|W_t|^2 dt] =\int_0^T E[|W_t|^
2] dt=\int_0^T t dt=T^2/2 <\infty. This proves that it is a square
integrable martingale.
Fourthly, to generalize, if E\int_0^T[a(t)]^s dt <\infty, then M(t), 0 is a square integral martingale. If \int_0^T[a(t)]^s dt <\infty, P a.s.,
then M(t), 0

if you speak out what I just wrte, I doubt that the interviewer will say you
are wrong. That is why I said that you should go back to review books and
then start to send your CV. You obviously failed to convince that you are
solid enough to let people believe you are right.
