Christian ROBERT (Université Lyon 1) « How large is the jump discontinuity in the diffusion coefficient of an Itô diffusion?”
Time: 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Date: 04th of March 2019
Place: Room 3105Abstract : We consider high frequency observations from a one-dimensional diffusion process Y. We assume that the diffusion coefficient σ is continuously differentiable, but with a jump discontinuity at some levely. Such a diffusion has already been considered as a local volatility model for the underlying price of an asset, but raises several issues for pricing European options or for hedging such derivatives. We introduce kernel sign-constrained estimators of the left and right limits of σ at y, but up to constant factors. We present and discuss the asymptotic properties of these kernel estimators. We then propose a method to evaluate these constant factors by looking for bandwiths for which the kernel estimators are stable by iteration. We finally provide an estimator of the jump discontinuity size and discuss its convergence rate.

Got an email with this tantalizing offer of a five year postdoctoral position in mathematics at the University of Edinburgh:
Chancellor's Fellowship (five positions) [tenure-track posts at Lecturer or Reader level] Applications are invited for up to five Chancellor's Fellowship posts in Mathematics. Each Fellowship provides a research-focused reduced-teaching position for up to 5 years, followed immediately by a standard open-ended (ie "tenured") lectureship or readership post. Applicants should have research interests in any area of: Applied and Computational Mathematics Financial Mathematics Mathematical Physics Operational Research Pure Mathematics Statistics One of the positions will be specifically dedicated to algebra (Representation Theory, very broadly conceived). Applicants will have a research record of the highest calibre, exhibiting the potential to become an international leader. We welcome candidates whose interests may also reach out to other disciplines. Appointment will normally be made on the Lecturer scale, £37,382 - £44,607. Dependent on experience, and in exceptional circumstances, appointment may be to Senior Lecturer/Reader level for which the salary scale is £47,314 - £53,233. Interviews will be held during May 2013. Applications containing a detailed CV and an outline of a proposed research programme should be made online
