Incorporating default risk into the Black-Scholes model using stochastic barrier option pricing theory
… solution is obtained by generalizing the reflection principle to k-space to determine the appropriate transition density function. The European analytical valuation formula has a straightforward economic interpretation and preserves much of the intuitive appeal of the traditional …

The search for new axioms
… set theory (stage theory, G6del's approach, and reflection principles) and argue that the approach via reflection principles is the most successful. In Chapter 2 I analyse the limitations of ZF and use this analysis to set up a mathematically precise minimal hurdle which any set of new axioms …
