The Poisson Boundary of Polycyclic Groups
We prove that in order to describe the Poisson boundary of rational affinities, it is necessary and sufficient to consider the action on real and all -adic fileds.
We define spatial CPD-semigroups and construct their Powers sum. We construct the Powers sum for general spatial CP-semigroups. In both cases, we show that the product system of that Powers sum is the product of the spatial product systems of its factors. We show that on the domain of intersection, pointwise bounded CPD-semigroups on the one side and Schur CP-semigroups on the other, the constructions coincide. This summarizes all known results about Powers sums and generalizes them considerably....
In this paper, we study the pricing of credit risky securities under a three-firms contagion model. The interacting default intensities not only depend on the defaults of other firms in the system, but also depend on the default-free interest rate which follows jump diffusion stochastic differential equation, which extends the previous three-firms models (see R. A. Jarrow and F. Yu (2001), S. Y. Leung and Y. K. Kwok (2005), A. Wang and Z. Ye (2011)). By using the method of change of measure and...
We study the Dirichlet problem for degenerate elliptic equations, and show that the probabilistic solution is a unique viscosity solution.
