This is hardly surprising given the importance of the sector to the economy, and the role of mathematical modelling in the valuation of instruments and the assessment of risk. What is striking is that, with some notable exceptions, few mathematicians have been actively engaged in the design of financial markets. This is undoubtedly a serious challenge with parallels from other large-scale complex networks: to design a distributed system, linking self-interested and intelligent agents, so that the outcome is effective and efficient. How would an ideal market operate, to allow liquidity between long-term investors to be provided by short- term traders? In the second part of the talk I outline some preliminary work, joint with Elena Yudovina, on this question. I describe a simplified and analytically tractable model of a limit order book where the dynamics are driven by stochastic fluctuations between supply and demand. The model has a natural interpretation for a highly traded market on short time scales where there is a separation between the time scale of trading, represented in the model, and a longer time scale on which fundamentals change. There has been considerable discussion recently of the effects of competition between multiple high- frequency traders, and of proposals aimed to slow down markets.

  • Opening Ceremony
    Opening ceremony Sir John Ball, President of the International Mathematical Union Your Majesty, Señor Ruiz Gallardón, Señora Cabrera, Señora Aguirre, Professor Manuel de León, Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, ¡Bienvenidos al ICM dos mil seis! Welcome to ICM 2006, the 25th International Congress of Mathematicians, and the first ICM to be held in Spain. We offer our heartfelt thanks to the Spanish nation, so rich in history and culture, for its invitation to Madrid. We greatly appreciate that His Majesty King Juan Carlos is honouring mathematics by His presence here today. While celebrating this feast of mathematics, with the many talking-points that it will provide, it is worth reflecting on the ways in which our community functions. Mathematics is a profession of high standards and integrity. We freely discuss our work with others without fear of it being stolen, and research is communicated openly prior to formal publication. Editorial procedures are fair and proper, and work gains its reputation through merit and not by how it is promoted. These are the norms operated by the vast majority of mathematicians. The exceptions are rare, and they are noticed. Mathematics has a strong record of service, freely given. We see this in the time and care spent in the refereeing of papers and other forms of peer review. We see it in the running of mathematical societies and journals, in the provision of free mathematical software and teaching resources, and in the various projects world-wide to improve electronic access to the mathematical literature, old and new. We see it in the nurturing of students beyond the call of duty.

    LIMITING CONFIGURATIONS FOR SOLUTIONS OF HITCHIN’S EQUATION RAFE MAZZEO, JAN SWOBODA, HARTMUT WEISS, AND FREDERIK WITT Abstract. We review recent work on the compactification of the mod- uli space of Hitchin’s self-duality equation. We study the degeneration behavior near the ends of this moduli space in a set of generic directions by showing how limiting configurations can be desingularized. Following ideas of Hitchin, we can relate the top boundary stratum of this space of limiting configurations to a Prym variety. A key rˆole is played by the family of rotationally symmetric solutions to the self-duality equation on C, which we discuss in detail here. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

Introduction The moduli space of Higgs bundles, introduced by Hitchin [Hi87] and Simpson [Si88], is a well investigated object in algebraic geometry and topol- ogy.
