Proof of the "Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing" in its general form by Delbaen and Schachermayer was a milestone in the history of modern mathematical finance and now forms the cornerstone of this book.

Puts into book format a series of major results due mostly to the authors of this book.

Embeds highest-level research results into a treatment amenable to graduate students, with introductory, explanatory background.

Awaited in the quantitative finance community.

Problems of stochastic optimization and various mathematical aspects of risk are the main themes of this contributed volume. The readers learn about the recent results and techniques of optimal investment, risk measures and derivative pricing. There are also papers touching upon credit risk, martingale theory and limit theorems.

Forefront researchers in probability and financial mathematics have contributed to this volume paying tribute to Yuri Kabanov, an eminent researcher in probability and mathematical finance, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The volume gives a fair overview of these topics and the current approaches.
