Study on stock price formation on trees with multi-population and non-rational agents.
problem Equilibrium price formation for risky stock with multi-population and non-rational agents.
method Combining mean-field game theory with binomial tree framework, proving existence of unique equilibrium, deriving explicit formula for transition probabilities.
result Existence of unique mean-field market-clearing equilibrium with explicit analytic formula for stock price transition probabilities.
For linear actions of real reductive Lie groups we prove the Kempf-Ness Theorem about closed orbits and the Kirwan-Ness Stratification Theorem of the null cone. Since our completely self-contained proof focuses strongly on geometric and analytic methods, essentially avoiding any deep algebraic result, it applies also t…
Customer behavior is often assumed to follow weak rationality, which implies that adding a product to an assortment will not increase the choice probability of another product in that assortment. However, an increasing amount of research has revealed that customers are not necessarily rational when making decisions. In…
In this article we consider a generalization of manifolds and orbifolds which we call quasifolds; quasifolds of dimension k are locally isomorphic to the quotient of R^k by the action of a discrete group - tipically they are not Hausdorff topological spaces. The analogue of a torus in this geometry is a quasitorus. We …
Montgomery-Yang problem predicts that every pseudofree differentiable circle action on the 5-dimensional sphere has at most 3 non-free orbits. Using a certain one-to-one correspondence, Kollár formulated the algebraic version of the Montgomery-Yang problem: every projective surface S with the second Betti number $b_2…
We call complex quasifold of dimension k a space that is locally isomorphic to the quotient of an open subset of the space C^k by the holomorphic action of a discrete group; the analogue of a complex torus in this setting is called a complex quasitorus. We associate to each simple polytope, rational or not, a family of…
Associated with a smooth, d-closed (1,1)-form α of possibly non-rational De Rham cohomology class on a compact complex manifold X is a sequence of asymptotically holomorphic complex line bundles Lk on X equipped with (0,1)-connections ∂ˉk for which ∂ˉk2=0. Their study was…
We formulate and analyze a multi-agent model for the evolution of individual and systemic risk in which the local agents interact with each other through a central agent who, in turn, is influenced by the mean field of the local agents. The central agent is stabilized by a bistable potential, the only stabilizing force…
We present an effective technique for training deep learning agents capable of negotiating on a set of clauses in a contract agreement using a simple communication protocol. We use Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning to train both agents simultaneously as they negotiate with each other in the training environment. We al…
In mix-game which is an extension of minority game, there are two groups of agents; group1 plays the majority game, but the group2 plays the minority game. This paper studies the change of the average winnings of agents and volatilities vs. the change of mixture of agents in mix-game model. It finds that the correlatio…
We propose a method for modeling and learning turn-taking behaviors for accessing a shared resource. We model the individual behavior for each agent in an interaction and then use a multi-agent fusion model to generate a summary over the expected actions of the group to render the model independent of the number of age…
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms allow agents to learn skills and strategies to perform complex tasks without detailed instructions or expensive labelled training examples. That is, RL agents can learn, as we learn. Given the importance of learning in our intelligence, RL has been thought to be one of key compone…
Agents collaborate to reduce regret in a multi-agent linear bandit problem with side information.
problem Reducing regret in a multi-agent stochastic linear bandit with side information.
method A decentralized algorithm where agents communicate subspace indices and each plays a projected LinUCB on the corresponding low-dimensional subspace.
result Per-agent finite-time regret is much smaller when agents communicate compared to non-communicating case.
The ability of modeling the other agents, such as understanding their intentions and skills, is essential to an agent's interactions with other agents. Conventional agent modeling relies on passive observation from demonstrations. In this work, we propose an interactive agent modeling scheme enabled by encouraging an a…
The behavioral dynamics of multi-agent systems have a rich and orderly structure, which can be leveraged to understand these systems, and to improve how artificial agents learn to operate in them. Here we introduce Relational Forward Models (RFM) for multi-agent learning, networks that can learn to make accurate predic…
This paper presents an analytical treatment of economic systems with an arbitrary number of agents that keeps track of the systems' interactions and agents' complexity. This formalism does not seek to aggregate agents. It rather replaces the standard optimization approach by a probabilistic description of both the enti…
We propose a unified mechanism for achieving coordination and communication in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), through rewarding agents for having causal influence over other agents' actions. Causal influence is assessed using counterfactual reasoning. At each timestep, an agent simulates alternate actions t…
A simple learning agent learns to trade in an agent-based market model.

method Asynchronous trading through a matching engine, varying initial order sizes and state spaces, calibration of empirical stylized facts and price impact curves.
result Smaller state space agents converge faster in learning and can trade intuitively using spread and volume states.
