Daniel Schwarz Carnegie Mellon University Title: FBSDEs --- A Short Review and Applications in Financial Mathematics Abstract: Forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) have recently gained a lot of traction in financial mathematics. In this talk, we discuss a framework recently proposed by Ma, Wu, Zhang and Zhang to prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a large class of FBSDEs. We present an extension of their result to accommodate the case of a discontinuous terminal condition, which occurs naturally, for example, in the modelling of carbon emission trading systems and, using formal asymptotic arguments, we draw a connection to scalar valued conservation law partial differential equations.
