Kakutani’s walk on spheres and efficient methods for solving Laplace and Poisson equation in domains with complex geometry
Financial Mathematics SeminarTime: 3:05
Location: LOV 0231
Kakutani’s walk on spheres (WoS) has proven to improve the efficiency of Feynman-Kac formula in solving linear elliptic equations with constant coefficients in bounded domains where the geometry is ... More

Short-maturity Asian options in local-stochastic volatility models
Financial Mathematics SeminarTime: 3:05
Location: LOV 0231
We derive the short-maturity asymptotics for Asian option prices in local-stochastic volatility (LSV) models. Both out-of-the-money (OTM) and at-the-money (ATM) asymptotics are considered. Using large... More

Mean-field multi-agent control
Financial Mathematics SeminarTime: 3:05
Location: LOV 0231
I will start by introducing a general model for multi-agent stochastic control systems. We will observe the modeling power of these systems, as well as the optimality challenges that arise from asymme... More

Scaling law of neural operators and distributed learning algorithms
Financial Mathematics SeminarTime: 3:05
Location: LOV 0231
In this talk, we will focus on operator learning, starting with a fundamental challenge of neural operators: how to mathematically approximate an operator. Mathematical insights provide a foundation f... More

Before the Storm: Firm Policies and Varying Recession Risk
Financial Math SeminarTime: 3:05
Location: LOV
Recession risk fluctuates ``before the storm'' of a recession. Incorporating this into a model of liquidity and investment allows firms to endogenously delay actions until recession risk increases. Wh... More

Rough Paths above Weierstrass Functions
Financial Mathematics SeminarTime: 3:05
Location: LOV0231
Although rough paths theory is typically applied to differential equations driven by stochastic processes, it is not inherently a random theory. Weierstrass functions are examples of Hölder continuo... More
