In this workshop, participants begin by reflecting on their various commitments and values before engaging in a discussion of the shared reading.

Participants assess citations in a recent project to determine the extent to which they have used citations to build the kind of \u201cdwelling\u201d they want to occupy and explore options for further renovating. Alternatively, participants may bring a project they have not yet researched fully in order to map a citation policy for that project.\n\nQualifiers: This is a workshop especially designed for those in the humanities, social and applied sciences.

The launch began the spacecraft\u2019s 2.2 billion mile journey to the asteroid 16 Psyche in the outer part of the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The Psyche asteroid, composed of over 50% metal by weight is possibly the metal core of a planetesimal whose formation was interrupted early in the solar system by collisions with other bodies that created the asteroid belt. The Psyche spacecraft is a hybrid. Maxar\/Intuitive-Machines, now known for taking photographs from space over Ukraine, fabricated the spacecraft bus based on heritage hardware, and JPL installed scientific payload, avionics and autonomous flight software for deep space operation. This $900M NASA mission is the first spacecraft to use Hall thrusters in deep space to rendezvous and orbit the asteroid, and recently completed a Mars Gravity Assist on the way to rendezvous in 2029. A 2-year science program will determine the asteroid\u2019s composition and remnant magnetic field to determine if this unique object really is a planetary core\u2026and what that actually looks like. The talk will describe the Psyche mission and provides updates on electric propulsion at JPL.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Dan M. Goebel received a B.S. in physics in 1977, an M.S. in EE in 1978, and a Ph.D. in applied plasma physics in 1981 from UCLA. He is a Fellow and Senior Research Scientist at JPL and an Adjunct Professor of Aerospace Engineering at UCLA. At JPL he is the Chief Engineer of the Psyche Mission and responsible for the development of advanced spacecraft technologies. Dr. Goebel is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Inventors, and Fellow of the AIAA, IEEE, and APS. He is the author of over 300 technical and conference papers, two textbooks on Electric Propulsion, and holds 60 patents.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person, with livestream on Zoom.

The existing literature typically focuses on constructing equilibria with a PDE approach, which requires certain Markovian structures. We characterize all equilibria through a coupled system of forward-backward SDEs. In particular, when the time duration is small, we show that the FBSDE is well-posed, and therefore the game has a unique equilibrium. Moreover, this unique equilibrium may be non-Markovian and thus not attainable via the PDE approach. We next study the set value of the game, which roughly speaking is the set of insider's values over all equilibria and thus is by nature unique. Finally, we characterize the set value through a level set of a certain standard HJB equation.\nIn the second part of the talk, we apply the new approach to the Kyle-Back model with dynamic legal risk and large numbers of noise traders. In this setting, the insider chooses a strategy that conceals his identity within a large volume of surrounding trades and concentrates on medium-sized trades. We establish an intensity-based mathematical framework for explaining the interconnections between insider trading and stealth trading. When the number of noise traders becomes large, the price impact of the insider asymptotically vanishes, and consequently the stochastic game becomes deterministic optimizations, which also carry implications for regulatory investigations and sanctions.\n\nThe results above include the joint work with Weixuan Xia and with Jianfeng Zhang.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149579-21906721@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149579", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"1360", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Financial\/Actuarial Mathematics Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4890", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21906721 } }
