Interest and exchange rate risk and stock returns : a multivariate GARCH-M modelling approach by Beirne, John, Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Spagnolo, Nicola

“…The econometric framework is a four-variate GARCH-in-mean model, which incorporates long-and short-term interest rates in turn. We find in most cases a positive effect of stock market returns on mean returns in each sector; by contrast, interest rates and exchange rates have a significant effect only in a few cases, respectively negative and without a clear sign pattern. …”

Geometric and homological methods in group theory: constructing small group resolutions by Gill, Olivia Jo

“…Our aim is to construct a free crossed resolution, A* --> G, by way of induction on the degree n, for any semidirect product G = K x H. First we show how to find a set Z1 of generators for the free group A1 and the corresponding unique epimorphism from the free group on those generators to the semidirect product. …”
