This paper develops a rigorous mathematical framework for analyzing Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers (CLMMs) in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) within a continuous-time setting. We model the evolution of liquidity profiles as measure-valued processes and characterize their dynamics under continuous trading. Our analysis encompasses two critical aspects of CLMMs: the mechanics of concentrated liquidity provision and the strategic behavior of arbitrageurs. We examine three distinct arbitrage models -- myopic, finite-horizon, and infinite-horizon with discounted and ergodic controls -- and derive closed-form solutions for optimal arbitrage strategies under each scenario. Importantly, we demonstrate that the presence of trading fees fundamentally constrains the admissible price processes, as the inclusion of fees precludes the existence of diffusion terms in the price process to avoid infinite fee generation. This finding has significant implications for CLMM design and market efficiency.
