Abstract

Considering the stupendous gain in importance, in the banking and insurance industries since the early 1990's, of mathematical methodology, especially probabilistic methodology, it was a very natural idea for the French "Académie des Sciences" to propose a series of public lectures, accessible to an educated audience, to promote a wider understanding for some of the fundamental ideas, techniques and new tools of the financial industries. These lectures were given at the "Académie des Sciences" in Paris by internationally renowned experts in mathematical finance, and later written up for this volume which develops, in simple yet rigorous terms, some challenging topics such as risk measures, the notion of arbitrage, dynamic models involving fundamental stochastic processes like Brownian motion and Lévy processes. The Ariadne's thread leads the reader from Louis Bachelier's thesis 1900 to the famous Black-Scholes formula of 1973 and to most recent work close to Malliavin's stochastic calculus of variations. The book also features a description of the trainings of French financial analysts which will help them to become experts in these fast evolving mathematical techniques. The authors are: P. Barrieu, N. El Karoui, H. Föllmer, H. Geman, E. Gobet, G. Pagès, W. Schachermayer and M. Yor.

Abstract

The Black-Scholes formula plays a central role in Mathematical Finance; it gives the right price at which buyer and seller can agree with, in the geometric Brownian framework, when strike K and maturity T are given. This yields an explicit well-known formula, obtained by Black and Scholes in 1973. The present volume gives another representation of this formula in terms of Brownian last passages times, which, to our knowledge, has never been made in this sense. The volume is devoted to various extensions and discussions of features and quantities stemming from the last passages times representation in the Brownian case such as: past-future martingales, last passage times up to a finite horizon, pseudo-inverses of processes... They are developed in eight chapters, with complements, appendices and exercises.
