    • A note on delta hedging in markets with jumps 

      [OWP-2011-23] Mijatović, Aleksandar; Urusov, Mikhail A. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011-05-21)
      Modelling stock prices via jump processes is common in financial markets. In practice, to hedge a contingent claim one typically uses the so-called delta-hedging strategy. This strategy stems from the Black–Merton–Scholes ...

      [OWP-2023-17] Beltran, David; Roos, Joris; Seeger, Andreas (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-11-27)
      We revisit an $\varepsilon$-removal argument of Tao to obtain sharp $L^p \to L^r(L^p)$ estimates for sums of Bochner-Riesz bumps which are conditional on non-endpoint bounds for single scale bumps. These can be used to ...
    • A note on k[z]-Automorphisms in Two Variables 

      [OWP-2008-17] Edo, Eric; Essen, Arno van den; Maubach, Stefan (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008)
      We prove that for a polynomial $f \in k[x, y, z]$ equivalent are: (1)$f$ is a $k[z]$-coordinate of $k[z][x,y]$, and (2) $k[x, y, z]/(f)\cong k^[2]$ and $f(x,y,a)$ is a coordinate in $k[x,y]$ for some $a \in k$. This solves ...

      [OWP-2014-10] Verriest, Erik I.; Ivanov, Anatoli F. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-05-13)
      This paper analyzes finite dimensional linear time-invariant systems with observation of a delay, where that delay satisfies a particular implicit relation with the state variables, rendering the entire problem nonlinear. ...

      [OWP-2013-12] Király, Franz J.; Theran, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013-06-10)
      We propose a general framework for reconstructing and denoising single entries of incomplete and noisy entries. We describe: effective algorithms for deciding if and entry can be reconstructed and, if so, for reconstructing ...

      [OWP-2020-21] Chapman, Adam (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-10-22)
      In this paper, we prove that given an octonion algebra $A$ over a field $F$, a subring $E \subseteq F$ and an octonion $E$-algebra $R$ inside $A$, the set $S$ of polynomials $f(x) \in A[x]$ satisfying $f(R) \subseteq R$ ...

      [OWP-2019-20] Biswas, Arindam (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-07-22) - (7 July - 7 October 2017)
      Let $G$ be a finite group. It was remarked by Breuillard-Green-Guralnick-Tao that if the Cayley graph $C(G,S)$ is an expander graph and is non-bipartite then the spectrum of the adjacency operator $T$ is bounded away from ...

      [OWP-2019-19] Biswas, Arindam; Saha, Jyoti Prakash (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-07-09)
      A pair of non-empty subsets $(W,W')$ in an abelian group $G$ is a complement pair if $W+W'=G$. $W'$ is said to be minimal to $W$ if $W+(W'\setminus \{w'\}) \neq G, \forall \,w'\in W'$. In general, given an arbitrary subset ...
