Financial mathematics concerns mathematical models and problems arising in financial markets and applies tools from probability, optimization, stochastic analysis and statistics. Specific areas of research include risk management, pricing and hedging in incomplete markets, stochastic volatility models, markets with transaction costs, energy markets, credit risk, portfolio optimization, utility indifference valuation, and stochastic differential games.
