We propose a model for the credit and liquidity risks faced by clearing members of Central Counterparty Clearing houses (CCPs). This model aims to capture the features of: gap risk; feedback between clearing member default, market volatility and margining requirements; the different risks faced by various types of mark…
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 …
This paper develops an XVA (costs) analysis of centrally cleared trading, parallel to the one that has been developed in the last years for bilateral transactions. We introduce a dynamic framework that incorporates the sequence of cash-flows involved in the waterfall of resources of a clearing house. The total cost of …
On July 26, 1995, at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a young Dutch mathematician by the name Aise Johan de Jong made a revolution in the study of the arithmetic, geometry and cohomology theory of varieties in positive or mixed characteristic. The talk he delivered, first in a series of three entitled "Dominat…
In the last years, increasing efforts have been put into the development of effective stress tests to quantify the resilience of financial institutions. Here we propose a stress test methodology for central counterparties based on a network characterization of clearing members, whose links correspond to direct credits …

We consider a Laplace eigenfunction φλ on a smooth closed Riemannian manifold, that is, satisfying −Δφλ=λφλ. We introduce several observations about the geometry of its vanishing (nodal) set and corresponding nodal domains. First, we give asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the volume of a tu…
We prove by Hilbert-Mumford criterion that a slope stable polarized weighted pointed nodal curve is Chow asymptotic stable. This generalizes the result of Caporaso on stability of polarized nodal curves, and of Hasset on weighted pointed stable curves polarized by the weighted dualizing sheaves. It also solved a questi…
We use tools from n-dimensional Brownian motion in conjunction with the Feynman-Kac formulation of heat diffusion to study nodal geometry on a compact Riemannian manifold M. On one hand we extend a theorem of Lieb and prove that any nodal domain Ωλ almost fully contains a ball of radius ∼λ1. …
We use layer potential to establish that the boundary biharmonic Steklov operators are elliptic pseudo-differential operators. Thus we are able to establish lower bounds on both the measure of boundary nodal sets and interior nodal sets for biharmonic Steklov eigenfunctions.
We prove that the nodal set (zero set) of a solution of a generalized Dirac equation on a Riemannian manifold has codimension 2 at least. If the underlying manifold is a surface, then the nodal set is discrete. We obtain a quick proof of the fact that the nodal set of an eigenfunction for the Laplace-Beltrami operator …
Given a Laplace eigenfunction on a surface, we study the distribution of its extrema on the nodal domains. It is classically known that the absolute value of the eigenfunction is asymptotically bounded by the 4-th root of the eigenvalue. It turns out that the number of nodal domains where the eigenfunction has an extre…
Globally irreducible nodes (i.e. nodes whose branches belong to the same irreducible component) have mild effects on the most common topological invariants of an algebraic curve. In other words, adding a globally irreducible node (simple nodal degeneration) to a curve should not change them a lot. In this paper we stud…
We give upper and lower bounds on the volume of a tubular neighborhood of the nodal set of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a real analytic closed Riemannian manifold M. As an application we consider the question of approximating points on M by nodal sets, and explore analogy with approximation by rational numbers.
Study on nodal components of random band-limited functions on surfaces, finding a universal law.
problem Distribution of tangencies of nodal components to a vector field on surfaces.
method Analysis of random band-limited functions on smooth compact Riemannian surfaces with vector fields.
result The distribution of tangencies to a vector field on nodal components of random band-limited functions on surfaces follows a universal deterministic law.
We show that on a compact Riemmanian manifold (M,g), nodal sets of linear combinations of any p+1 smooth functions form an admissible p−sweepout provided these linear combinations have uniformly bounded vanishing order. This applies in particular to finite linear combinations of Laplace eigenfunctions. As a resul…
We prove a natural inequality which implies the known lower bounds for the (n−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of nodal sets for smooth compact manifolds.
