Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Objective:
The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to the theory of rough paths, with a particular focus on their integration theory and associated rough differential equations and how the theory relates to and enhances the field of stochastic calculus.

Our first motivation will be to understand the limitations of classical notions of integration to handle paths of very low regularity, and to see how the rough integral succeeds where other notions fail.
We will construct rough integrals and establish solutions of differential equations driven by rough paths, as well as the continuity of these objects with respect to the paths involved, and their consistency with stochastic integration and SDEs. We will also consider the class of so called "branched rough paths" and study their rich analytic as well as algebraic foundations, which are essential for understanding more complex theories, such as Martin Haierer's regularity structures.
Various applications and extensions of the theory will then be discussed, such as pathwise stability of likelihood estimators and applications of the stochastic sewing lemma.

Aim:
Participants will be familiar with rough/Young integration of Hölder continuous processes/functions and able to solve simple differential equations with rough drivers, as well as being aware of the pro's and con's of the theory.
In addition to the probabilistic and analytic aspects, participants will have also gained an elementary knowledge of the algebraic setting related to Hopf-algebras.

Assessment and permitted materials

Oral exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Prerequisites:
The aim will be to make the course as self-contained as possible, but some knowledge of stochastic analysis and a basic understanding of stochastic integration is recommended. Knowledge about the construction of the Ito integral would be ideal, but is not strictly required.
