Dear all, it is a pleasure to announce the forthcoming PhD course "Fourier-Laplace transform and Wiener-Hopf factorization in Finance, Economics and Insurance" given by Prof. Sergei Levendorskii for PhD students in Padova, starting from next week, online via Zoom. Here is a tentative program: - Lecture 1. Lévy models - Lecture 2. Evaluation of probability distributions and pricing European options in Lévy models - Lecture 3. Simplified trapezoid rule, Fast Fourier Transform and its variations - Lecture 4. Conformal acceleration techniques - Lecture 5. Barrier options with discrete monitoring and Bermudan options. Calculations in the state space - Lecture 6. Barrier options with discrete monitoring and Bermudan options. Calculations in the dual space - Lecture 7. Wiener-Hopf factorization - Lecture 8. Contingent claims with continuous monitoring, boundary value problems and Wiener-Hopf factorization - Lecture 9. Options with continuous monitoring, cont-d - Lecture 10. Affine models - Lecture 11. American options with infinite time horizon - Lecture 12. American options with finite time horizon and here is the schedule (Italian time): 1) 19th October 16.30-18 2) 21st October 16.30-18 3) 23rd October 16.30-18 4) 26th October 16.30-18 5) 28th October 16.30-18 6) 30th October 16.30-18 If interested and to obtain the link Zoom and attend the lectures, please send an e-mail to (me!): gcallega@math.unipd.it Thanks and have a nice afternoon, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega@math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home
