Started as A.A. Kirillov's student in rerpresentation theory in Moscow State University. Got PhD in 1999. Worked in ITEP Moscow for 10 years somewhere in between representation theory, integrable systems and algebraic geometry, in particular geometric Lanlgands and its connection to Hitchin-Gaudin integrable systems.
Currently in industry: quantitative finance, previously in wireless telecommunication doing applied math.: information theory, error-correcting codes, statistical estimation theory, numerical algorithms.
Deeply worried about the ITEP very unfortunate situation: http://saveitep.org

Leading Russian research center is in danger. More than 850 scientists signed letter to president and prime-minister asking for help. Fields medalists M. Atiyah, L. Lafforgue, E. Witten, Nobel Prize winner D. Gross, mathematicians A. Beilinson, I. Cherednik, B. Dubrovin, P. Etingof, B. Feigin, A. Kirillov, I. Krichever, N. Reshetikhin, E. Vinberg, physicists J. Cardy (Oxford), M. Douglas, J. Froehlich, J. Maldacen (IAS), N. Nekrasov(IHES, ITEP), B. de Wit, are among them.

I worked in ITEP more than 10 years, I learned a lot from these people and it is really one the best institutes in Russia and world. Like many colleagues I am really afraid that current situation is step by step programm of killing ITEP. Last year newly instead director made from research institute "GULAG-light" as said Prof. Stan Brodsky from Stanford said after seeing all this.

"Thus, the decision maker can concentrate only on the decision maximizing her single period profit. " This is somehow not very much obvious to me.... May be I just need to get accustomed to it.

comment How much one can earn on a white noise ?
Hm, but why are you sure it is optimal strategy - naively I may think that I want: not just positive increment, but increment > threshold, i.e. I do not want to earn small money, but will wait for some "good" money.

Waldemar, I am sorry, you are right. It seems you gave the answer I hoped, let me think for some time.

Thank you, nevertheles I guess in this particular case the answer can be obtained without general theories.

comment How much one can earn on a white noise ?
In this question I am intentionally consider NOT the increments to be N(0,1), but the price itself. Let us forget about - is it relevant to real world or not (I think it is relevant in "trend case"). The question is mathematically well-defined on its own. About the increments there is another question - "One can earn nothing on the Brownian motion, true ?" mathoverflow.net/questions/132581/…

in the example Strategy 1 is exactly - keep until it is +1. But since I stop at fixed Time n=N. We may never get +1.

Steven trend plus noise model is approximation can be used to catch trends. There is no model which can be used universally.

comment Role of applications in modern mathematics
Thank you for the answer. My question is about applications of math outside math. I do not see the sense of specifying the "application" very precisely - hope everybody understands vague meaning and that is enough. I "assume a good will" - if some one thinks it is worth to write an in the answer about what he thinks deserves to be shared with the community - go on...
