I'm looking for good papers and books covering extreme stock price movements and mathematical theories of stock market crashs.

    $\begingroup$ A good start is the book by Taleb, "Black Swan". The guy has a fund that literally makes money out of those extreme events. $\endgroup$

There is a large literature on extreme value theory (EVT) and a sizable subset that concerns its applications in Finance and economics.

A well known reference in the literature is: Modelling extremal events (Read Taleb's review here)

I would suggest you start there to see if you find what you are looking for.

A good reference for 'pure' EVT is Resnick's Heavy Tail Phenomena.

Hope this helps.

I would suggest having a look at the books and papers of Didier Sonette from ETH Zürich.

A good starting point is the research page of his institute.
