Subject: Full faculty position in math finance
Oxford University has just announced a Lectureship in Mathematical Finance,
based in the Mathematical Institute, and I am writing to ask for your help
in bringing it to the attention of any strong potential candidates. The post
arises out of the success of our part-time Masters course in Mathematical
Finance, and the …
[View More]teaching duties will be largely on that programme. The
lecturer will also be a Fellow of St Catherine's College and will do a small
amount of tutorial teaching there.
Finance is an area in which Oxford is increasingly significant, and our aim
is to be one of the leading centres for the subject in Europe. We have a
strong and diverse group of faculty working in the area, in Mathematics and
elsewhere, and we attract excellent graduate students.
Details of the post are on <http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/notices/vacancies/>
http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/notices/vacancies/ . Note that in addition to the
advertised university salary, the college will pay a housing allowance; a
substantial supervision fee is paid for supervising part-time masters
students, and there is the opportunity to undertake up to 30 days of
consultancy per year without loss of salary.
Either Sam or Terry will be happy to try to answer any other questions you
may have.
Best regards
Jeff Dewynne
Sam Howison

STOCHASTIC CONTROL AND ITS APPLICATIONS (2nd announcement)
Mathematical Research and Conference Center in Bedlewo, June 3-8, 2002
The organizers: L. Stettner and J. Zabczyk
The following invited speakers have already confirmed their participation:
N.V. Ahmed, A. Bagchi, A. Budhiraja, T. Bielecki, V.S. Borkar,
E. Cadenillas, B. Goldys, K. Helmes, O. …

U. Rieder, W. Runggaldier, M. Schal, A.Swiech, N. Touzi, G. Yin,
J. Yong, X.Y. Zhou, Q. Zhang.
As we have declared in the first announcement the conference will be
devoted to various aspects of stochastic control and stochastic analysis.
In the last two days of the workshop we shall concentrate on applications
in mathematics of finance. The Workshop will start on Monday, June 3rd at
9 a.m. and will close on Saturday June 8th in the afternoon. The
accomodation will be available starting from June 2nd till Sunday June
9th. The conference will take place in the Mathematical Conference Center
in Bedlewo, a small village located approximately 30 km to the south of
Poznan in a nice forest area. You can come to Poznan by train (from
Warsaw or Berlin it takes 3 hours), or by plane (there is an airport in
Poznan). To reach Mathematical Conference Center from Poznan take a local
train to Mosina (Wroclaw direction) and then a taxi to Bedlewo. If you
send us the details about your arrival we shall try to pick you up from
the airport or Poznan railway station. We also plan to locate one of our
students with a poster of the conference on Sunday (June 2nd) in the
afternoon in the Poznan railway station, who may help you to reach
Bedlewo.
We shall need the title and an abstract of your talk by May 10, 2002.

Extremal Behavior of Multidimensional Risk Processes
In the classical ruin problem of …
[View More]collective risk theory,
an insurance company gains capital from premiums income and loses
capital as a result of claims; one then studies the probability that
the company's total capital ever falls below zero, i.e.,
P{S(t) < -m, for some t}, where S(t) is a positive-drift Levy process
and m is the company's initial capital.
In this talk I will discuss various generalizations of this
problem to higher dimensional settings. The first of these can be
described as follows: Let S(1),S(2),... be a sequence of random
vectors, corresponding e.g. to several capital factors, and consider
the probability that this sequence ever reaches some "forbidden
region" in d-dimensional Euclidean space. It will be shown that,
under quite general assumptions,
(*) (1/m) log P{S(n) ever hits mA} ~ -I(A)
for an appropriate "rate function" I(A). Some refinements,
describing e.g. the asymptotic distribution of the first passage
time, will also be given.
A second generalization which will be discussed is the case where
the increments of S(1),S(2),... are governed by a system of random
recurrence equations. Such recurrence equations are of considerable
applied interest and arise, among other places, in the study of GARCH
financial time series models and insurance models with stochastic
returns on the surplus capital. It will be shown that an asymptotic
estimate very similar to (*) can also be developed in this setting.

Stochastische Steuerung in der Versicherungsmathematik
Das Problem der Bestimmung optimaler Dividendenaus-
schüttungs- und Rückversicherungsstrategien, das in Teilen
schon auf de Finetti (1957) zurückgeht, wurde in letzter
Zeit wieder intensiv untersucht. Da die ursprüngliche
Formulierung auf die optimale Steuerung eines stückweise
deterministischen Markov Prozesses führt - was sehr
schwierig ist - standen in letzter Zeit Diffusionsmodelle
im Vordergrund. In dem Vortrag wird auf beide
Formulierungen eingegangen und ein Zusammenhang
zwischen den Optimierungsproblemen hergestellt.
