The proving of Fundamental Lemma: from Math to Money, and probably Misery

stochastics


Proving of Fundamental Lemma by Fields Medalist Professor Ngo Bao Chau, or more generally, a breakthrough B in Mathematics theory does have direct impact on everyday life:



  1. Research B’, B”, Bn ‘ will spawn

  2. Academic components will be composed en masse basing on B, B’…

  3. (2) generates billions of revenue for education service providers

  4. (2) generates revenue for book composers, sellers and distributors

  5. Non-B research will likely cease and research budget will be saved

  6. Scientists from other disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Anthropology…) will benefit from B

  7. Quants will use B to build new financial models, instruments, institutional models… which will lead to new cycles of fund flows, transfer of wealth, job creation, excessive expansions… All will feed up bubbles which test limits of economic systems. When the limits are smashed, markets will crash and economies will collapse (Ho 2010). A few extraordinary quants (Doan 2010) equipped with mathematics beyond normal human comprehension and possess real understanding of behavioral economics will make fortune; hundreds of thousands will lose their jobs and assets; billions will suffer crises.

  8. Perhaps the most well-known example of (7) in Finance world is Ito’s lemma and Wiener process, used for Derivatives valuation (i) (Ho 2010). Derivatives market beyond control is one reason which had lead to 2007-present global financial crisis (ii) (Friedman & Friedman 2009).


B might be rooting it all. At this very present.
