Abstracts

Alfred Müller, Stochastic orders and lattices of probability measures
We study various partially ordered spaces of probability measures and we determine which of them are lattices. This has important consequences for optimization problems with stochastic dominance constraints. In particular we show that the space of probability measures on the real line is a lattice under most of the known partial orders, whereas the space of multivariate probability measures typically is not.
