medium · Quantitative Finance stochastic

In the derivation of the Black-Scholes PDE using the Feynman-Kac connection, how does the transition from a real-world measure P to a risk-neutral measure Q specifically affect the spatial operators in the PDE?

  1. It eliminates the time-dependency term (partial V)/(partial t) as the process becomes a martingale.
  2. It modifies only the coefficient of the first-order spatial derivative from μ S to rS.
  3. It introduces a non-linear term to the PDE to account for investor risk aversion.
  4. It rescales the second-order spatial derivative coefficient to account for the risk premium.
