Financial definitions.
Stochastic models.

Two connected lines of research: a language for defining financial products through time, and Markovian models connecting market dynamics with derivatives pricing and hedging.

The research

From contractual meaning
to numerical interpretation.

A product definition establishes its rights and obligations. A model supplies a way to value them. Keeping that relationship explicit makes both easier to examine.

Financial language

SHTAR שטר

Symbolic Hierarchical Terms And Rules

A financial product is a chronological system of records and payments. SHTAR defines what was observed, what became payable, what was delivered, and which rights remain.

Stochastic models

Markovian rough diffusion

Market dynamics for derivatives pricing and hedging

Volatility fluctuations, skew and return–volatility relationships motivate the model design. Stochastic clocks and tractable Markov states connect that research to calibration, conditional valuation and hedging.
