Yaroslav Lyulko | Hyperplane separation theorem for Fundamental theorem of Asset Pricing.

Hyperplane separation theorem plays an importnant role in proof of Fundamental theorem of Asset Pricing (FTAP). The proof of FTAP is given at Mathematics of Finance and Valuation course however only formulation of hyperplane separation theorem is given as a reference to the fact from Linear Algebra. Due to the number of questions from students it was decided to present a complete proof of hyperplane separation theorem and link it with other fundamental results.
