Dear all, this is to invite you to the PhD course which will be given next week by Costantinos Kardaras (LSE) at the Mathematics Department of the University of Padova. All the details follow:
*Title*: *Growth optimality and recent applications to probability*
*Timetable*:
- April 3rd, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 4th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 5th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 6th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30 - April 7th, 2017, 16:00 - 17:30 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30
*Course requirements*: Probability and Stochastic Calculus
*SSD*: MAT/06 and SECS-S/06
*Aim*: This course aims at providing an overview on recent developments in the Mathematical Finance research field, having as a central idea in mind the role of the growth optimal portfolio. Course contents: These lectures will touch upon recent developments in the applied probability, and more precisely mathematical finance. The vessel that is used to connect different topics is that of growth optimality, a notion that has proved extremely fruitful. A representative collection of what will be covered are applications in arbitrage theory, constrained optimisation, filtration enlargement, and semimartingale theory. Other areas of application, such as economics, robust optimisation, and even functional analysis, will be also discussed (if time permits).
Thanks and have a nice day, Giorgia Callegaro
