Title: Levy Processes, Polynomials and Martingales
Abstract: It has long been known that there is a close relationship between
Brownian motion {W(t),t>=0} and the Hermite polynomials {Hm(y),m=0,1,..}.
More specifically E{H_m(W(t)/Sqrt{2t})| W(s)}= (s/t)^(m/2)
H_m(W(s)/Sqrt{2s}).
We show that a similar property holds for a large variety of pairs of Levy
processes and polynomials associated with them. Particular attention is
given to orthogonal polynomials. Apart from the well-known case of Brownian
motion, the Poisson process (with the Charlier poly-nomials) and the
Bernoulli process (with the Krawtchouck poly-nomials) provide two other
explicit examples.
This work is joint with Wim Schoutens of the K.U. Leuven (Belgium).

Subject: Professor position in Asset Pricing at University of Gothenburg
Dear Colleague,
Please find atached the announcement [see plain text copy below] for a
professor position in Asset Pricing at University of Gothenburg. The
position is at a senior level but good not-so-senior researchers are
incourage to apply. The Center for Finance is actively trying to build
up its areas of competence and young, enthusiastic people are of an
utmost interest to us. Note that, even though the deadline is rather
close, there is a certain amount of flexibility in the application
process. We would be happy to get some strong signal of interest
rather soon (even if the full application dossier takes a little
longer to complete).
For more info on the Center for Finance please go to
http://www.hgu.gu.se/item.aspx?id=1023
I would be very greatful if you could forward this mail to anyone you
might think could be interested.
Sincerely,
Catalin Starica
PS: The Center is also looking for someone in Corporate Finance. See

The basic idea behind these lectures is: the whole finance can be built
based on coherent risks.
I will speak about applications of coherent risks to:
- pricing;
- optimization;
- optimality pricing;
- equilibrium.
Moreover, several topics in the "pure" theory of coherent risks will be
discussed. These include:
- coherent risk contribution;
- capital allocation;
- factor risks.
I will also describe two new classes of coherent risks: Alpha V@R and
Beta V@R that are better than Tail V@R.
These lectures will be based on a series of papers available at:
http://mech.math.msu.su/~cherny/ (papers 24-30).
