Until the late 1980's, the only examples of CMC surfaces in
Euclidean space were the sphere, the Wente torus, and the surfaces of Delaunay. In 1990, Kapouleas developed a gluing construction for CMC surfaces that produced infinitely many new examples. We discuss a generalized gluing construction for CMC hypersurfaces that builds on and extends the ideas of Kapouleas. This work is joint with Kapouleas.

Online on WebEx

Let \(f:\mathbb P^1_K\to\mathbb P^1_K\) be a rational map defined over a number field \(K\). The Galois theory of the iterates \(f^n=f\circ\ldots\circ f\) has applications both in number theory and in arithmetic dynamics. In this talk, we will discuss the various Galois groups attached to the iterates of \(f\), namely arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups and Arboreal Galois representations. While providing a survey of recent results on the subject, we will also talk about joint work with I. Bouw and V. Karemaker on Dynamical Belyi maps.

Equilibrium Pricing of Longevity Bonds

We consider a partial equilibrium model for pricing longevity linked bonds in a model with stochastic mortality intensity that affects the income of economic agents. The agents trade in a risky financial security and a longevity linked bond as to maximize their utilities. Agent’s risk preferences are of monetary type and are described by BSDEs (backward stochastic differential equations). The endogenous equilibrium bond price is characterized by a BSDE. We prove that the longevity bond completes the market. In a realistic setting with two agents in a transaction, numerical experiments confirm the expected intuition of price dependence on model parameters. This is joint work with Petar Jevtic and Minsuk Kwak.
