Abstract:
In this thesis some essential aspects of an infinite derivative theory of gravity are studied. Namely, we considered the Hamiltonian formalism, where the true physical degrees of freedom for infinite derivative scalar models and infinite derivative gravity are obtained. Furthermore, the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term for the infinite derivative theory of gravity was obtained. Finally, we considered the thermodynamical aspects of the infinite derivative theory of gravity over different backgrounds. Throughout the thesis, our methodology is applied to other modified theories of gravity as a

In this thesis, higher derivative theories are investigated. Ostrogradskian instability of higher derivative theories is examined both at the classical and quantum levels. It is shown that avoiding the instability in nondegenerate higher derivative theories is impossible. Moreover, the degenerate model of relativistic particle with a curvature term is studied as a viable higher derivative theory. Most of the work we present here is not original. We give a review of the literature and compile various detached works that already exist.

We consider the problem of pricing and hedging general path dependent derivatives on a single asset, supposing that we already know the prices of the vanilla options. If we are to avoid introducing arbitrage possibilities, then this is the same as finding a model under which the discounted asset price is a martingale and for which every vanilla option has its price equal to the expected value of its discounted payout. It has been shown by Dupire ([1], [2]) that if we restrict ourselves to diffusions, then the local volatility surface can be determined by a simple equation which involves differ

The enactment of derivative action was expected to be actively used by shareholders to protect their interests. In fact, it turned out that this reform effort seemed futile as the right to engage in such actions was rarely exercised. This raises a question about the role of derivative actions in China; namely, should a derivative action system play a key role in protecting shareholder interests? If the answer is positive, the next question is how such a system could be improved in order to effectively discipline management. The essence of this thesis is to try to address these issues.

Abstract:
The occurrence of higher-derivative terms both in classical and in quantum theories can be problematic. In case of impossibility of eliminating them by performing an integration by parts they give rise, in fact, to multiple problems, like extra unphysical degrees of freedom, negative unbounded energies and pathological negative norm states called ghosts. The possibility of curing them comes from a procedure developed by Jaén, Llosa and Molina in a classical Hamiltonian framework. It is applied when these terms are introduced as perturbative corrections to a healthy leading order theory multipl

From the amplitude expression, the Newtonian potential energies are calculated for various cases. Also, from this amplitude and the propagator structure, a three dimensional unitary theory is identified. In the second part of the thes
