Subject: 13th European Summer School in Financial Mathematics, Vienna,
Aug. 31- Sept. 4, 2020
Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to announce the
13th European Summer School in Financial Mathematics on
"Machine Learning in Finance" and
"McKean-Vlasov Equations & Mean Field Games in Finance"
which will be held at the University of Vienna, from August 31 to September
4, 2020.
Mini-courses will be given by
Lyudmila Grigoryevya
Xin Guo
Lukasz Szpruch
Josef Teichmann
Detailed information on the summer school and instructions for applications
can be found at:
https://www.univie.ac.at/summer_school_MathFinance/index.html
The application deadline is April 30, 2020. Successful applicants will be
sponsored for accommodation and (partly) travel expenses.
Please bring the announcement to the attention of PhD-students and other
researchers who may be interested to attend.
Kind regards,

PhD Course held by Paolo Pigato (10 hours)
Title: Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling
Schedule:
March 03, 2020; h. 14-16. Room: Aula D'Antoni
March 05, 2020; h. 14-17. Room: Aula D'Antoni
March 10, 2020; h. 14-16. Room: Aula De Blasi
March 12, 2020; h. 14-17. Room: Aula D'Antoni
Abstract.
In several applications of stochastic analysis (financial engineering,
telecommunication networks, ...), it is desirable to model real-world
quantities which are non-Markovian, for example because the noise
process exhibits slowly decaying auto-correlations and long memory. In
this course we will focus on fractional Brownian motion, a prototypical
example of non-Markovian process. Such process is a generalisation of
Brownian motion with Holder regularity possibly different than 1/2 and
it is not a martingale. We will consider large deviations problems,
simulation methods and some examples of application.

Dear all,
as you may already be aware, there is a recent coronavirus epidemic going
around in China, which may have raised concerns in attending the
BAYSM 2020 meeting in China late June https://baysm2020.uconn.edu/ . As a
satellite meeting of the 2020 ISBA
World Meeting (Kunming, China, June 29-July 03), we would like to cite the
email that ISBA Program Council just sent to ISBA members to
address the coronavirus concerns and ISBA World Meeting in China:
"We are keeping a close eye on the development. While at this point we are
cautiously optimistic that the epidemic will not last till June,
both as a result of the extraordinary measure that China is taking to
contain the spread, and as cold-like coronaviruses generally don't
spread effectively as temperature rises in spring. However, we want to stay
cautious and keep options open, and will take the necessary
actions to ensure the health and safety of our community."
We are holding the same position as the ISBA Program Council and will keep
you all updated of any changes in the plan of the meeting.
Particularly, if the epidemic is not contained in the next couple of
months, and thus the community participating in the meeting will be
subject to health risk, we will consider alternatives such as postponing
the BaYSM Meeting.
For now, we have decided to extend the early registration deadline as
follows.
Deadline for submissions: May 1 2020 23:59 CST
End of review process: May 23 2020
Early registration: June 01 2020
Late registration: June 15 2020
Thank you for your support of our BaYSM Meeting. We hope that the epidemic
will be over soon and we will see you all in Kunming at the
BaYSM this June.
Best Regards,
On behalf of the organizing committee

Quadratic Hedging and Optimization of Option Exercise Policies in
Incomplete Markets and Discrete Time
Abstract: This paper extends quadratic hedging from European to Bermudan
options in discrete time when markets are incomplete and investigates its
use for supporting exercise policy optimization. The key idea is to
construct date specific approximate replicating portfolios. Hedging any
given exercise policy can be done by solving a collection of stochastic
dynamic programs. Optimizing the exercise policy based on the resulting
martingale measure requires care. If this measure is risk neutral (RN),
the value of an optimal such policy, which can be obtained by augmenting
the hedging model with an exercise policy optimization step, is a no
arbitrage one. Otherwise this approach must be refined by imposing time
consistency on exercise policies, although the value of the resulting
exercise policy may not be arbitrage free. Following the common pragmatic
strategy of specifying quadratic hedging under an RN measure, e.g., one
calibrated to market prices, avoids these issues. In particular, it
provides a simple hedging policy with immediate practical applicability
and is equivalent to exercise policy optimization under RN valuation, thus
complementing it with a consistent hedging policy. A simple numerical
example shows that this procedure generates effective hedging policies.
