Quantum Field Theory for Economics and Finance Belal Ehsan Baaquie Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42315-1 — Quantum Field Theory for Economics and Finance Belal Ehsan Baaquie Frontmatter More Information QUANTUM FIELD THEORY FOR ECONOMICS AND FINANCE An introduction to how the mathematical tools from quantum field theory can be applied to economics and finance, this book provides a wide range of quan- tum mathematical techniques for designing financial instruments. The ideas of Lagrangians, Hamiltonians, state spaces, operators and Feynman path integrals are demonstrated to be the mathematical underpinning of quantum field theory and are employed to formulate a comprehensive mathematical theory of asset pricing as well as of interest rates, which are validated by empirical evidence. Numerical algorithms and simulations are applied to the study of asset pricing models as well as of nonlinear interest rates. A range of economic and financial topics is shown to have quantum mechanical formulations, including options, coupon bonds, nonlinear interest rates, risky bonds and the microeconomic action functional. This is an invaluable resource for experts in quantitative finance and in mathematics who have no specialist knowledge of quantum field theory. belal ehsan baaquie is a professor at the International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance. He received his training in theoretical physics at Caltech and Cornell University, specializing in quantum field theory. He later developed an interest in finance and economics, and started applying quantum mathematics to these fields. He has written two books on quantum finance: Quantum Finance (Cambridge University Press, 2007) and Interest Rates and Coupon Bonds in Quantum Finance (Cambridge University Press, 2009), in addition to several other books focusing on topics from quantum mechanics and mathematics to books on leading ideas in science.

The pole structure of is derived c M using its factorizability property. It is shown that the monodromy matrix transforms non-trivially under the non-compact T-duality group, which leaves the effectivec action invariant and this can be used to construct the monodromy matrix for more complicated backgrounds starting from simpler ones. We construct, explicitly, for the exactly M solvable Nappi-Witten model, both when B =0andB= 0, where these ideas can be 6 c directly checked. 1. Introduction The field theories in two space-time dimensions have attracted considerable attention over the past few decades. They possess a variety of interesting features. Some of these field theories, capture several salient characteristics of four dimensional theories and, therefore, such two dimensional models are used as theoretical laboratories. Moreover, the nonper- turbative properties of field theories are much simpler to study in two dimensional models. There are classes of two dimensional theories which are endowed with a rich symmetry structure: integrable models [1] and conformal field theories [2, 3] belong to this special ∗Speaker.

A Theory: a View from the Outside
V -A theory: a view from the outside Ashok Das Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA and Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, 1/AF Bidhannagar, Calcutta 700064, INDIA Abstract In this talk I will review the V -A theory within the context of the prevalent experimental results at the time. It is a great pleasure for me to be able to participate in this celebration in honor of Professor George Sudarshan. Let me say right away that unlike the other speakers in this session, I haven’t had the opportunity to collaborate with George yet. On the other hand, George is still young and who knows! Much of what is being discussed in this session happened many, many years ago. I am, of course, not going to tell you how old I am. Let me simply say that all of this happened long before my time, which is the reason for the title of my talk. The only reason I agreed to speak in this session is because George is a dear friend, a former student of Rochester and I felt that I had access to all the resources of Rochester. This was before I knew who else were going to be speaking in this session and that the organizers had kindly deprived me of part of my resources, thank you very much! So, I had to work very hard, go back to the old papers and the archives and reconstruct events. What I learnt is that the story of V -A theory is a fascinating one.

We also derive the INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS one-parameter family of JV = 2 supersymmetric KdV equation without a bi-Hamiltonian structure in this approach. Following our earlier proposal, we interpret the zero curvature condition as a gauge anomaly equation which brings out the underlying current algebra for ZERO CURVATURE CONDITION OF OSp(2/2) AND THE ASSOCIATED SUPERGRAVTTY THEORY the corresponding 2D-supergravity theory. This current algebra is, then, used to obtain the operator product expansions of various fields of this theory.
