The abstract warns against flawed empirical research in machine learning.

problem Flawed empirical research in machine learning leading to unreliable results.
method Call for more awareness of experimental knowledge plurality and epistemic limitations.
result Current empirical machine learning research should be exploratory, not confirmatory.

Study optimizes portfolio to minimize relative drawdown duration, penalizing unfavorable performance states.

problem Minimizing relative drawdown duration in portfolio optimization relative to a benchmark.
method Introduces a benchmark-relative drawdown-duration criterion penalizing unfavorable performance states. Uses a one-dimensional Markovian representation and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.

The paper improves generative models to avoid replicating observed examples.

problem Improving generative models to avoid replicating observed examples.
method Theoretical insights into the Wasserstein GAN, constrained to left-invertible push-forward maps, generating distributions that avoid replication and significantly deviate from the empirical distribution.
result Left-invertibility achieves this without compromising statistical optimality.

In this paper we ask whether, given a stock market and an illiquid derivative, there exists arbitrage-free prices at which an utility-maximizing agent would always want to buy the derivative, irrespectively of his own initial endowment of derivatives and cash. We prove that this is false for any given investor if one c…

Study utility maximization with random endowment and costs, proving duality and constructing shadow market.

problem Maximizing utility from terminal wealth with random endowment and transaction costs.
method Duality between primal and dual problems, using finitely additive measures, considering negative wealth.
result Proved duality results for utility functions supporting negative values, constructed shadow market.

In this paper, we study the problem of expected utility maximization of an agent who, in addition to an initial capital, receives random endowments at maturity. Contrary to previous studies, we treat as the variables of the optimization problem not only the initial capital but also the number of units of the random end…

problem Dynamic valuation in markets with random endowments.
method Developed new FBSDE systems and established optimality conditions.
result Established necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality.

We prove that the group D^r(R) of C^r diffeomorphisms of the real line, endowed with the compact-open and Whitney C^r topologies, is bihomeomorphic to the group H(R) of homeomorphisms of the real line endowed with the compact-open and Whitney topologies. This implies that the diffeomorphism group D^r(R) endowed with th…

The paper presents formulas for valuing debt and equity in interconnected firms with comonotonic endowments.

problem Valuation of debt and equity in interconnected firms with comonotonic endowments.
method Formulas derived under comonotonic setting, demonstrating lower and upper bounds using Jensen's inequality.
result The comonotonic setting provides a lower bound and Jensen's inequality an upper bound to the price of debt.

We consider a problem of optimal investment with intermediate consumption and random endowment in an incomplete semimartingale model of a financial market. We establish the key assertions of the utility maximization theory assuming that both primal and dual value functions are finite in the interiors of their domains a…

Investor optimizes wealth in a market with non-traded endowment, deriving expansions up to second order.

problem Optimizing wealth in an incomplete financial market with a non-traded endowment.
method Duality techniques and Kunita-Watanabe projections for deriving expansions up to second order.
result Derives expansions of the primal value function and optimal wealth process up to second order with respect to the non-traded endowment units.

Investor optimizes worst case exponential utility in uncertain markets with unbounded endowments.

problem Maximizing worst case exponential utility in uncertain financial markets with unbounded endowments.
method Dynamic investment strategy and static option investment, using martingale measures and dual representation.
result Optimal strategy exists and convergence to robust superhedging price as risk aversion increases.

We study the J-invariant and J-anti-invariant cohomological subgroups of the de Rham cohomology of a compact manifold M endowed with an almost-Kähler structure (J, ω, g). In particular, almost-Kähler manifolds satisfying a Lefschetz type property, and solvmanifolds endowed with left-invariant almost-complex structures …

Given the Euclidean space R2n+2\R^{2n+2} endowed with a constant symplectic structure and the standard flat connection, and given a polynomial of degree 2 on that space, Baguis and Cahen have defined a reduction procedure which yields a symplectic manifold endowed with a Ricci-type connection. We observe that any symplect…

In recent years, a market for mortality derivatives began developing as a way to handle systematic mortality risk, which is inherent in life insurance and annuity contracts. Systematic mortality risk is due to the uncertain development of future mortality intensities, or {\it hazard rates}. In this paper, we develop a …

Since their introduction by Thurston, geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces occur in many contexts. In this paper, we propose a generalization of geodesic laminations on locally CAT(0), complete, geodesic metric spaces, whose boundary at infinity of the universal cover is endowed with a invariant total cyclic ord…

We study the geometry of a family of Lie groups, which contained the classical affine Lie groups, endowed with an exact left invariant symplectic form.

This is a survey on bi-Lagrangian manifolds, which are symplectic manifolds endowed with two transversal Lagrangian foliations. We also study the non-integrable case (i.e., a symplectic manifold endowed with two transversal Lagrangian distributions). We show that many different geometric structures can be attached to t…

Symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are strictly related to Hermitian metrics having the fundamental form ˉ\partial \bar \partial -closed, i.e. to strong Kähler with torsion (SKT{\rm SKT}) metrics. It is still an open problem to exhibit a compact example of a complex manifold having a tamed …
