Problems of stochastic optimization and various mathematical aspects of risk are the main themes of this contributed volume. The readers learn about the recent results and techniques of optimal investment, risk measures and derivative pricing. There are also papers touching upon credit risk, martingale theory and limit theorems. Forefront researchers in probability and financial mathematics have contributed to this volume paying tribute to Yuri Kabanov, an eminent researcher in probability and mathematical finance, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The volume gives a fair overview of these topics and the current approaches.
Stochastic processes are as usual the main subject of the Séminaire, with contributions on Brownian motion (fractional or other), Lévy processes, martingales and probabilistic finance. Other probabilistic themes are also present: large random matrices, statistical mechanics. The contributions in this volume provide a sampling of recent results on these topics. All contributions with the exception of two are written in English language.
The 37th Séminaire de Probabilités contains A. Lejay's advanced course which is a pedagogical introduction to works by T. Lyons and others on stochastic integrals and SDEs driven by deterministic rough paths. The rest of the volume consists of various articles on topics familiar to regular readers of the Séminaires, including Brownian motion, random environment or scenery, PDEs and SDEs, random matrices and financial random processes.
The year 2000 is the centenary year of the publication of Bachelier's thesis which - together with Harry Markovitz Ph. D. dissertation on portfolio selection in 1952 and Fischer Black's and Myron Scholes' solution of an option pricing problem in 1973 - is considered as the starting point of modern finance as a mathematical discipline. On this remarkable anniversary the workshop on mathematical finance held at the University of Konstanz brought together practitioners, economists and mathematicians to discuss the state of the art. Apart from contributions to the known discrete, Brownian, and Lvy process models, first attempts to describe a market in a reasonable way by a fractional Brownian mo...
Dedicated to the Russian mathematician Albert Shiryaev on his 70th birthday, this is a collection of papers written by his former students, co-authors and colleagues. The book represents the modern state of art of a quickly maturing theory and will be an essential source and reading for researchers in this area. Diversity of topics and comprehensive style of the papers make the book attractive for PhD students and young researchers.
This book offers an introduction to rough paths. Coverage also includes the interface between analysis and probability to special processes, Lévy processes and Lévy systems, representation of Gaussian processes, filtrations and quantum probability.

In Hungarian Jews in the Age of Genocide, Ferenc Laczó offers a pioneering intellectual history of how a major European Jewish community responded to its exceptional drama during the age of persecution and the unprecedented tragedy in its immediate aftermath.
