QGMS framework detects market endpoints using geometric patterns.

problem Identifying market endpoints in large-scale movements.
method Hybrid of geometric pattern recognition and quantitative modeling.
result Consistently identifies market endpoints before major reversals.

This summarizes the study of the financial and economic crisis in Europe. The starting questions were: 1) Why do we have a crisis? Unde venis? 2) What will be the outcome? Quo vadis? Here is the reasoning which touches many areas, ranging from financial to politics and from psychology and economy.

We present a class of Lévy processes for modelling financial market fluctuations: Bilateral Gamma processes. Our starting point is to explore the properties of bilateral Gamma distributions, and then we turn to their associated Lévy processes. We treat exponential Lévy stock models with an underlying bilateral Gamma pr…

EDINET-Bench evaluates LLMs on complex financial tasks using Japanese financial statements.

problem Challenges in evaluating LLMs on financial tasks due to specialized expertise and scarce benchmarks.
method Developed EDINET-Bench, an open-source Japanese financial benchmark for LLMs on tasks like fraud detection and earnings forecasting.
result State-of-the-art LLMs perform only marginally better than logistic regression in financial tasks, highlighting the need for more realistic benchmarks.

Value-at-Risk is a flawed substitute for non-ruin capital, leading to misleading financial standards.

problem Misuse of Value-at-Risk as a risk measure, replacing non-ruin capital, leads to flawed financial standards.
method Mathematical analysis of risk measures and their implications on financial standards.
result Non-ruin capital is a more accurate risk measure than Value-at-Risk, necessitating its adoption over the former.

Survey and new results link hydrodynamics, molecular physics, and financial engineering.

problem Understanding financial engineering topics like Asian options and volatility swaps.
method Linking Kevin waves, Klein-Kramers, and Kolmogorov equations to financial models.
result Corrected the original solution of the Kolmogorov equation.

New techniques identify shifts in financial market sectors.

problem Identifying shifts in financial market structure and composition.
method Developed new mathematical techniques to identify nonlinear shifts in market sectors.
result Identified meaningful sector-to-sector mappings and optimal portfolio styles.

There is a large body of work, built on tools developed in mathematics and physics, demonstrating that financial market prices exhibit self-similarity at different scales. In this paper, we explore the use of analytical topology to characterize financial price series. While wavelet and Fourier transforms decompose a si…
