d'Evry Val d'Essone "Initial times, enlargement of filtration and credit
risk"
Abstract:
We study progressive enlargement with initial times, i.e., times which
satisfy $H^\prime$ hypothesis of Jacod for initial enlargement. We give the
semi-martingale representation in the enlarged filtration for martingales in
the reference filtration. We present some examples, and we apply this tool
for credit risk models.

Synthesis and alumnus of IIT's Math Dept.  
Abstract:
I will start with a brief account of my positions and how I was earning a
living while I was doing basic mathematical research on my own that was
eventually supported by the US Navy. In about 20 "slides" I will also go
over my mathematical work and its applications.
