Preface
This volume contains 31 papers, based on the invited talks given at the 2003 AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference in the Mathematical Sciences: Mathematics of Finance, held in Snowbird, Utah, June 22-26, 2003. This was the first ever conference on mathematics of finance jointly sponsored by AMS, IMS, and SIAM.
Financial mathematics is a rapidly expanding field. It involves a wide spectrum of techniques that go far beyond the traditional applied mathematics. Research in mathematics of finance has witnessed tremendous progress in recent years. The Black-Scholes model and its various extensions for pricing of options have had an influential impact on financial practice and led to a revolution in the financial in-dustry. The introduction of stochastic analysis and stochastic control techniques has resulted in a number of important advances. To name just a few, they include the studies of valuation of contingent claims in complete and incomplete markets, consumption-investment models with or without constraints, portfolio management for institutional investors such as pension funds and banks, and risk assessment and management using financial derivatives. These applications, on the other hand, re-quire and stimulate many new and exciting theoretical discoveries. As a major impetus to the development of financial management and economics, research in mathematics of finance has had a major impact on the global economy. Moreover, the development of mathematics of finance has created a large demand for mathe-matics graduates at both Master and Ph.D. levels in the financial industry, resulting in the introduction of this topic in the curriculum of mathematical sciences depart-ments of many universities. The rapid progress has necessitated communication and networking among researchers in different disciplines. This summer research conference provided us with an excellent and timely opportunity. It brought to-gether researchers from mathematical sciences, finance, economics, and engineering, and financial industry to review and to update the recent advances, and to identify future directions of mathematics of finance.
The scientific program of the conference consisted of 42 invited talks, a poster session, and a panel discussion on research and education. While recent progress has been surveyed, reviewed, and substantially updated, new ideas, models, methods, and techniques have been explored. The invited speakers presented a broad spec-trum of problems, models, and results involving modeling, estimation, optimiza-tion, control, risk assessment and management, contingent claim pricing, dynamic hedging, and financial derivative design. Valuation of contingent claims remains the centerpiece of modern financial theory. Its key components include financial market modeling and dynamic hedging. While the Black-Scholes models have been widely

X PREFACE
used in characterizing movements of financial markets for decades, it has been recog-nized that their utility is limited because they assume deterministic rates of return and volatility, and because they ignore many aspects of the markets. In the past few years, various attempts (including stochastic volatility, jump diffusions, and hybrid market models) have emerged to modify and generalize the Black-Scholes models. Optimal portfolio management uses a stochastic control approach. Orig-inating from Merton's pioneering work, it continues to have an important role in finance theory. The objective is to allocate financial assets dynamically among risky and fixed-income investments with the goal of maximizing expected overall return of consumption measured by some utility function. A closed-form solution is possible only for the simplest models. Typically, optimal investment and con-sumption control policies must be found by solving a partial differential equation of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type. However, nonlinearities make numerical implemen-tations difficult, and efficient schemes are needed. Other difficult issues include, for example, mathematical model selections and choices of utility functions. Financial risk management has attracted growing attention in recent years. Such devastating events as the Long-Term Capital Management default and the Enron bankruptcy shook the financial world. It has become clear that there is an urgent need for fur-ther research on corporation credit risks as well as the possibility to hedging these risks using financial derivatives. As a result, one of the emerging research topics is the study of credit risk management.
As an archive, this volume presents some of the highlights of the conference. It collects papers covering a broad spectrum of topics in mathematical finance; all pa-pers have been refereed. The organizing committee consisted of Wendell H. Fleming (Brown University), Jean-Pierre Fouque (North Carolina State University), George Papanicolaou (Stanford University), Bozenna Pasik-Duncan (University of Kansas), Stanley R. Pliska (University of Illinois at Chicago), Ronnie Sircar (Princeton Uni-versity), George Yin (Wayne State University, Chair), and Qing Zhang (University of Georgia, Co-chair). It was supported in part by the National Science Foundation.
Without the encouragement, help, and assistance of many individuals, the con-ference could not have taken place. We thank the invited speakers, the panelists, the poster presenters, and all invitees for making the conference a successful event; we thank the members of the organizing committee for their help, advice, and sug-gestions. Our thanks go to the AMS-IMS-SIAM Committee on Summer Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences, in particular, Thomas DiCiccio, chair of the committee, and James Maxwell of the AMS, who helped us shape the confer-ence and provided us with valuable comments and suggestions in the preparation of the conference. We are especially grateful to Donna Salter and Wayne Drady for their constant and tireless help during the preparation of the conference as on-site management. The assistance from Sergei Gelfand, Christine Thivierge, and the AMS professionals during the preparation of this volume is also gratefully acknowl-edged. Finally, we are thankful to the National Science Foundation for supporting the Summer Research Conference.
