The talk is devoted to the Heath-Jarrow-Morton modeling of the
bond market with stochastic factors of the Levy type. It concentrates on
properties of the forward rate process like positivity and mean reversion.
The process satisfies a stochastic partial differential equation and
sufficient conditions are given under which the equation has a positive
global solution. In the special case, when the volatility is a linear
functional of the forward curve, the sufficient conditions are close to the
necessary ones.
