Sebastian Herrmann, University of Michigan, Inventory Management for High-Frequency Trading with Imperfect Competition
We study Nash equilibria for inventory-averse high-frequency traders (HFTs), who trade to exploit information about future price changes. For discrete trading rounds, the HFTs' optimal trading strategies and their equilibrium price impact are described by a system of nonlinear equations;…

Spectral sequences are an algebraic tool for computing (co)homology of differential graded algebras (DGAs) developed by by Leray in the 1940's and have since found applications in various fields which utilize DGAs to compute useful invariants (e.g. Algebraic Topology, Knot…

We consider the problem of maximizing expected utility from terminal wealth for a power investor who can allocate his wealth in a stock, a defaultable security, and a money market account. The dynamics of these security prices are governed by…

In this talk I will introduce the ideas of singularities of a polynomial and resolution of those singularities, and then develop the blowup process algorithm. For a polynomial f, a point is singular if f and all its first partials…

In their celebrated 1993 paper, Brink and Howlett proved that all finitely generated Coxeter groups are automatic. In particular, they constructed a finite state automaton recognising the language of reduced words in a Coxeter group. This automaton is not minimal…
