Installment Optionen
(2004)
-
Susanne Alke Griebsch
- Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich im Wesentlichen mit Installment Optionen und deren Bewertung und Hedgemöglichkeiten. Installment Optionen werden vor allem im internationalen Treasurymanagement eingesetzt und dienen der Absicherung von Wechselkursrisiken. Die Besonderheit besteht darin, daß ein Konzern die Optionsprämie über mehrere Zeitpunkte aufteilen kann, zu denen er jeweils entscheidet, ob die Absicherung überhaupt noch benötigt wird. Dies könnte unter Umständen nicht mehr der Fall sein, wenn das zugrunde liegende internationale Geschäft des Konzerns wider Erwarten nicht zustande gekommen ist. Der exakte Wert einer Installment Option im Black-Scholes Modell besteht aus einem Ausdruck von Mehrfachintegralen, wohingegen die Anwendung verschiedener Bewertungsmethoden auf diesen approximierte Werte liefert. Die Untersuchung des Verhaltens mehrerer bekannter Methoden und die Entwicklung einer neuen Bewertungsformel für Installment Option ist Inhalt dieser Arbeit. Weiterhin wird die kontinuierliche Version der Installment Option betrachtet und für diese ein neuer Hedge bewiesen.

Fast LLL-type lattice reduction
(2004)
-
Claus Peter Schnorr
- We modify the concept of LLL-reduction of lattice bases in the sense of Lenstra, Lenstra, Lovasz [LLL82] towards a faster reduction algorithm. We organize LLL-reduction in segments of the basis. Our SLLL-bases approximate the successive minima of the lattice in nearly the same way as LLL-bases. For integer lattices of dimension n given by a basis of length 2exp(O(n)), SLLL-reduction runs in O(n.exp(5+epsilon)) bit operations for every epsilon > 0, compared to O(exp(n7+epsilon)) for the original LLL and to O(exp(n6+epsilon)) for the LLL-algorithms of Schnorr (1988) and Storjohann (1996). We present an even faster algorithm for SLLL-reduction via iterated subsegments running in O(n*exp(3)*log n) arithmetic steps.

Conjugators of Fuchsian groups and quasiplatonic surfaces
(2004)
-

- Let G be a Fuchsian group containing two torsion free subgroups defining isomorphic Riemann surfaces. Then these surface subgroups K and alpha-Kalpha exp(-1) are conjugate in PSl(2,R), but in general the conjugating element alpha cannot be taken in G or a finite index Fuchsian extension of G. We will show that in the case of a normal inclusion in a triangle group G these alpha can be chosen in some triangle group extending G. It turns out that the method leading to this result allows also to answer the question how many different regular dessins of the same type can exist on a given quasiplatonic Riemann surface.

- We show that the number of isomorphism classes of quasiplatonic Riemann surfaces of genus <= g has o growth of typ g exp (log g). The number of non-isomorphic regular dessins of genus <= g has the same growth type.

ABC for polynomials, dessins d'enfants, and uniformization - a survey
(2004)
-
Jürgen Wolfart
- The main subject of this survey are Belyi functions and dessins d'enfants on Riemann surfaces. Dessins are certain bipartite graphs on 2-mainfolds defining there are conformal and even an algebraic structure. In principle, all deeper properties of the resulting Riemann surfaces or algebraic curves should be encoded in these dessins, but the decoding turns out to be difficult and leads to many open problems. We emphasize arithmetical aspects like Galois actions, the relation to the ABC theorem in function filds and arithemtic questions in uniformization theory of algebraic curves defined over number fields.

Daniel Henkel
- In dieser Arbeit geht es darum, für die Lösung eindimensionaler stochastischer Differentialgleichungen mit Markovschen Sprüngen gute Näherungen zu finden, genauer gesagt die erwartete quadratische Abweichung der Approximation von der Lösung soll möglichst klein sein.

Mathematics of the quantum Zeno effect
(2004)
-
Andreas U. Schmidt
- We present an overview of the mathematics underlying the quantum Zeno effect. Classical, functional analytic results are put into perspective and compared with more recent ones. This yields some new insights into mathematical preconditions entailing the Zeno paradox, in particular a simplified proof of Misra's and Sudarshan's theorem. We empahsise the complex-analytic structures associated to the issue of existence of the Zeno dynamics. On grounds of the assembled material, we reason about possible future mathematical developments pertaining to the Zeno paradox and its counterpart, the anti-Zeno paradox, both of which seem to be close to complete characterisations. PACS-Klassifikation: 03.65.Xp, 03.65Db, 05.30.-d, 02.30.T .

Zeno dynamics in quantum statistical mechanics
(2004)
-
Andreas U. Schmidt
- We study the quantum Zeno effect in quantum statistical mechanics within the operator algebraic framework. We formulate a condition for the appearance of the effect in W*-dynamical systems, in terms of the short-time behaviour of the dynamics. Examples of quantum spin systems show that this condition can be effectively applied to quantum statistical mechanical models. Furthermore, we derive an explicit form of the Zeno generator, and use it to construct Gibbs equilibrium states for the Zeno dynamics. As a concrete example, we consider the X-Y model, for which we show that a frequent measurement at a microscopic level, e.g. a single lattice site, can produce a macroscopic effect in changing the global equilibrium.

Kochen-Specker theorem for von Neumann algebras
(2004)
-
Andreas Döring
- The Kochen-Specker theorem has been discussed intensely ever since its original proof in 1967. It is one of the central no-go theorems of quantum theory, showing the non-existence of a certain kind of hidden states models. In this paper, we first offer a new, non-combinatorial proof for quantum systems with a type I_n factor as algebra of observables, including I_infinity. Afterwards, we give a proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem for an arbitrary von Neumann algebra R without summands of types I_1 and I_2, using a known result on two-valued measures on the projection lattice P(R). Some connections with presheaf formulations as proposed by Isham and Butterfield are made.
