Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

* Fundametals of continuous times processes relevant to finance: martingales, Brownian motion, geometric Brownian motion, stochastic integration, Ito formula, Ito processes, Girsanov theorem, martingale representation,etc.

* Fundamental aspects of continuous time mathematical finance: trading, super/sub hedging, replication, pricing of options, martingale measures, no-arbitrage, the fundamental theorem of asset pricing, market completeness, Black-Scholes formula, hedging within the Black-Scholes model, exotic options, model calibration given option prices, etc.

We will start the lecture with a brief introduction to discrete time stochastic processes and discrete time mathematical finance. Then we introduce the necessary machinery from continuous time stochastic processes. We apply this machinery towards building a continuous time theory of mathematical finance.

Assessment and permitted materials

Reading list

For the elements of discrete time stochastic processes / mathematical finance, you may consult the Lecture Notes from Christa Cuchiero or Mathias Beiglböck (provided in the lecture) or the book 'Stochastic Finance' by Föllmer and Schied.

For continuous time processes / finance, good references are 'Introduction to stochastic calculus applied to finance' by Lamberton and Lapeyre, 'Stochastic calculus for finance II: continuous-time modelr' by Shreve, or 'Arbitrage theory in continuous time' by Björk.
