A new method for clearing liability networks using sheaves on directed hypergraphs.

problem Clearing in liability networks using a novel mathematical approach.

In this article we prove upper bounds for the Laplace eigenvalues λkλ_k below the essential spectrum for strictly negatively curved Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. Our bound is given in terms of k2k^2 and specific geometric data of the manifold. This applies also to the particular case of non-compact manifolds whose section…

In the previous article we derived a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities. In this article we investigate how the terms in the expansion reflect the geometry of the manifold. Since the general expansion contains a logarithmi…

result Radner equilibria uniquely exist and provide solutions for market equilibria.

A clearing member of a Central Counterparty (CCP) is exposed to losses on their default fund and initial margin contributions. Such losses can be incurred whenever the CCP has insufficient funds to unwind the portfolio of a defaulting clearing member. This does not necessarily require the default of the CCP itself. In …
