EDITORIAL: SPECIAL ISSUE ON FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS AND QUANTITATIVE FINANCE [PDF]
The nexus between world financial markets and the discipline of quantitative finance, which is heavily based on mathematics and statistics, has become increasingly clearer as a result of enormously expanded global financial derivative markets over the ...

A quantitative and a dual version of the Halmos-Savage theorem with applications to mathematical finance [PDF]
The celebrated theorem of Halmos and Savage implies that if M is a set of ℙ-absolutely continuous probability measures Q on (Ω ℱ, ℙ) such that each A ∈ ℱ, ℙ(A) > 0 is charged by some Q ∈ M, that is, Q(A) > 0 (where the choice of Q depends on the set A), then - provided M is closed under countable convex combinations - we can find Q ∈ M with full ...

Money Mathematics: Examining Ethics Education in Quantitative Finance [PDF]
The field of quantitative analysis is often mistaken to be a discipline free from ethical burdens. The quantitative financial analyst or “quant” profession holds a position of significant responsibility as the keeper of mathematical models used in complex derivative security pricing and risk management. Despite this responsibility very few postgraduate

Sig-SDEs model for quantitative finance [PDF]
Mathematical models, calibrated to data, have become ubiquitous to make key decision processes in modern quantitative finance. In this work, we propose a novel framework for data-driven model selection by integrating a classical quantitative setup with a

Theoretically Motivated Data Augmentation and Regularization for Portfolio Construction [PDF]
The task we consider is portfolio construction in a speculative market, a fundamental problem in modern finance. While various empirical works now exist to explore deep learning in finance, the theory side is almost non-existent. In this work, we focus on developing a theoretical framework for understanding the use of data augmentation for deep ...

FinRL-Podracer: High Performance and Scalable Deep Reinforcement Learning for Quantitative Finance [PDF]
Machine learning techniques are playing more and more important roles in finance market investment. However, finance quantitative modeling with conventional supervised learning approaches has a number of limitations. The development of deep reinforcement learning techniques is partially addressing these issues.

Mathematical modeling in Quantitative Finance and Computational Economics
The first part of my PhD Thesis deals with different Machine Learning techniques mainly applied to solve financial engineering and risk management issues. After a short literary review, every chapter analyzes a particular topic linked to the implementation of these models, showing the most suitable methodologies able to solve it efficiently.
