Published / Preprint: Self-Organized Criticality as Witten-type Topological Field Theory e78 with Spontaneously Broken Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin Symmetry

Posted: 09 May 2012 08:07 PM PDT

Here, a scenario is proposed, according to which a generic self-organized critical (SOC) system can be looked upon as a Witten-type topological field theory (W-TFT) with spontaneously broken Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) symmetry. One of the conditions for the SOC is the slow driving noise, which unambiguously suggests Stratonovich interpretation of the corresponding stochastic differential...

Blog Post: Falkenblog: Convincing Arguments

Posted: 09 May 2012 07:26 PM PDT

I remember learning Chomskian arguments for universal grammar and finding them baffling, other than the big idea that there's something hard-wired about acquiring language in humans versus any other species.  Who knew that EO Wilson had the same interpretation at that time.  Further, it is interesting that Wilson thinks this complexity helped Chomsky intimidate critics, something most...

Published / Preprint: Hierarchical structure and time-lag correlation in Worldwide Financial Markets. (arXiv:1205.1861v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 09 May 2012 05:38 PM PDT

Recently, many studies indicated that the minimum spanning tree (MST) network whose metric distance is de?ned by using correlation coe?cients have strong implications on extracting infor- mation from return time series. However in many cases researchers may hope to investigate the strength of interactions but not the directions of them. In order to study the strength of interaction and connection...

Published / Preprint: Optimal multiple stopping with random waiting times. (arXiv:1205.1966v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 09 May 2012 05:38 PM PDT

In the standard models for optimal multiple stopping problems it is assumed that between two exercises there is always a time period of deterministic length $\delta$, the so called refraction period. This prevents the optimal exercise times from bunching up together on top of the optimal stopping time for the one-exercise case. In this article we generalize the standard model by considering...

Published / Preprint: Bilateral Credit Valuation Adjustment of an Optional Early Termination Clause. (arXiv:1205.2013v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 09 May 2012 05:38 PM PDT

Is an option to early terminate a swap at its market value worth zero? At first sight it is, but in presence of counterparty risk it depends on the criteria used to determine such market value. In case of a single uncollateralised swap transaction under ISDA between two defaultable counterparties, the additional unilateral option to early terminate the swap at predefined dates requires a Bermudan...

Published / Preprint: Statistical ensembles for money and debt. (arXiv:1109.0891v2 [q-fin.GN] UPDATED)

Posted: 09 May 2012 05:38 PM PDT

We build a statistical ensemble representation of two economic models describing respectively, in simplified terms, a payment system and a credit market. To this purpose we adopt the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution where the role of the Hamiltonian is taken by the total money supply (i.e. including money created from debt) of a set of interacting economic agents. As a result, we can read the main...
