de Finetti risk seminar - January 2016
by Emanuela Rosazza 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture TITLE: Optimal arbitrage and portfolio optimization for market models satisfying NUPBR but not NFLVR WOLFGANG RUNGGALDIER University of Padova ABSTRACT: The classical no-arbitrage condition of NFLVR is often too strong and can be weakened thereby still allowing to solve meaningfully standard problems in mathematical finance. A weaker condition to this effect is NUPBR (NA1). For market models satisfying NUPBR, but where NFLVR does not hold, classical arbitrage is thus possible and the interest arises to construct such models and and to obtain for them optimal arbitrage. In particular, we consider models with insider information and for such models we discuss, besides optimal arbitrage, also the possibility of solving portfolio optimization problems by analogy to classical duality even under absence of an ELMM. (Joint work with N.H.Chau and P.Tankov) LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, January 20, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Frédéric Brunet

Si avvisa che in data 15-01-2016, alle ore 16:00, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Frédéric Brunet Institut de Génomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon Titolo: 1-2-3-4: a story about whole genome duplications in fish and other vertebrates Abstract: Gene and genome duplications, which increase gene copy number at different scales, are considered to be important contributors to the evolution of organisms. During the evolution of vertebrates, two successive rounds of whole genome duplication, called 1R and 2R have highly influenced the organization of gene content of genomes. After WGDs, genomes returned progressively to a diploid state, but a certain amount of genes were kept as duplicates, which led to the formation and extension of many gene families. A fish-specific genome duplication called 3R occurred at the base of the teleost fish lineage. A fourth round of WGD has also been characterized Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Marzia Cremona Marzia A. Cremona MOX - Modeling and Scientific Computing Dipartimento di Matematica "F.
