The relationship between price volatilty and a market extremum is examined using a fundamental economics model of supply and demand. By examining randomness through a microeconomic setting, we obtain the implications of randomness in the supply and demand, rather than assuming that price has randomness on an empirical …

Stochastic bridges are commonly used to impute missing data with a lower sampling rate to generate data with a higher sampling rate, while preserving key properties of the dynamics involved in an unbiased way. While the generation of Brownian bridges and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridges is well understood, unbiased generatio…

In the theory of submanifolds, the following problem is fundamental: to establish simple relationships between the main intrinsic invariants and the main extrinsic invariants of the submanifolds.The basic relationships discovered until now [1, 2, 3, 4] are inequalities. To analyze these problems, we follow the idea of …

For Hamiltonian flows we establish the existence of periodic orbits on a sequence of level sets approaching a Bott-nondegenerate symplectic extremum of the Hamiltonian. As a consequence, we show that a charge on a compact manifold with a nondegenerate (i.e. symplectic) magnetic field has periodic orbits on a sequence o…

Imagine that measurements are made at times t0t_0 and t1t_1 of the trajectory of a physical system whose governing laws are given approximately by a class A{\cal A} of so-called {\em prior vector fields}. Because the physical laws are not known precisely, it might be that the measurements are not realised by the integ…

Given a Laplace eigenfunction on a surface, we study the distribution of its extrema on the nodal domains. It is classically known that the absolute value of the eigenfunction is asymptotically bounded by the 4-th root of the eigenvalue. It turns out that the number of nodal domains where the eigenfunction has an extre…

Have you ever felt miserable because of a sudden whipsaw in the price that triggered an unfortunate trade? In an attempt to remove this noise, technical analysts have used various types of moving averages (simple, exponential, adaptive one or using Nyquist criterion). These tools may have performed decently but we show…

Market impact has become a subject of increasing concern among academics and industry experts. We put forward a price impact model which considers the heteroscedasticity of price in the time dimension and dependency between permanent impact and temporary impact. We discuss and derive the extremum of the expectation of …

Much combinatorial optimisation problems constitute a non-polynomial (NP) hard optimisation problem, i.e., they can not be solved in polynomial time. One such problem is finding the shortest route between two nodes on a graph. Meta-heuristic algorithms such as AA^{*} along with mixed-integer programming (MIP) methods …

The curvature of the noncommutative torus Tθ2T^2_θ (θθ irrational) endowed with a noncommutative conformal metric has been the focus of attention of several recent works. Continuing the approach taken in the paper [A. Connes and H. Moscovici, http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.3500] we extend the study of the curvature to twist…
