In this paper we prove a universal inequality describing the asymptotic behavior of support points for planar continuous curves. As corollaries we get an analogous result for tangent points of differentiable planar curves and some (partially known) assertions on the asymptotic of the mean value points for various class…

Qualitative behavior of Bach flow is established on compact four-dimensional locally homogeneous product manifolds. This is achieved by lifting to the homogeneous universal cover and, in most cases, capitalizing on the resultant group structure. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations is carefully analy…

We conclude from an analysis of high resolution NYSE data that the distribution of the traded value fif_i (or volume) has a finite variance σiσ_i for the very large majority of stocks ii, and the distribution itself is non-universal across stocks. The Hurst exponent of the same time series displays a crossover from we…

This study reveals statistical patterns in ERC20 token transactions on Ethereum blockchain.

problem Understanding transactional dynamics in decentralized systems.
method Examined over 44 million ERC20 token transfers, categorized by address type (EOA or SC), and analyzed using scaling laws.
result EOA-driven transactions exhibit consistent statistical behavior, while SC-driven activity displays sublinear scaling and bursty activity.

This note provides a neat and enjoyable expansion and application of the magnificent Ordentlich-Cover theory of "universal portfolios." I generalize Cover's benchmark of the best constant-rebalanced portfolio (or 1-linear trading strategy) in hindsight by considering the best bilinear trading strategy determined in hin…

We study homologically maximizing timelike geodesics in conformally flat tori. A causal geodesic γγ in such a torus is said to be homologically maximizing if one (hence every) lift of γγ to the universal cover is arclength maximizing. First we prove a compactness result for homologically maximizing timelike geodesics…

result Real-world datasets and Gaussian data with long-range correlations share the same RMT universality class.

We extend the notion of canonical measures to all (possibly non-compact) metric graphs. This will allow us to introduce a notion of "hyperbolic measures" on universal covers of metric graphs. Kazhdan's theorem for Riemann surfaces describes the limiting behavior of canonical (Arakelov) measures on finite covers in rela…

One of the principal statistical features characterizing the activity in financial markets is the distribution of fluctuations in market indicators such as the index.

Streets and Tian introduced a parabolic flow of pluriclosed metrics. We classify the long time behavior of homogeneous solutions of this flow on closed complex surfaces including minimal Hopf, Inoue, Kodaira, and non-Kahler, properly elliptic surfaces. We also construct expanding soliton solutions to the flow on the un…

The z-transform technique is used to investigate the model for distribution of high-tax payers, which is proposed by two of the authors (K. Y and S. M) and others. Our analysis shows an asymptotic power-law of this model with the exponent -5/2 when a total ``mass'' has a certain critical value. Below the critical value…
