We analyze wealth condensation for a wide class of stochastic economy models on the basis of the economic analog of thermodynamic potentials, termed transfer potentials. The economy model is based on three common transfers modes of wealth: random transfer, profit proportional to wealth and motivation of poor agents to …
New proof shows local wealth condensation in economic models with biases.
The addition of wealth-attained advantage (WAA) to the Yard-Sale Model (YSM) of asset exchange has been demonstrated to induce wealth condensation. In a model of WAA for which the bias is a continuous function of the wealth difference of the transacting agents, the condensation was shown to arise from a second-order ph…
Short proof shows wealth condensation in trading model.
We discuss a Pareto macro-economy (a) in a closed system with fixed total wealth and (b) in an open system with average mean wealth and compare our results to a similar analysis in a super-open system (c) with unbounded wealth. Wealth condensation takes place in the social phase for closed and open economies, while it …
The conservative wealth-exchange process derived from trade interactions is modeled as a multiplicative stochastic transference of value, where each interaction multiplies the wealth of the poorest of the two intervening agents by a random gain eta=(1+kappa), with kappa a random return. Analyzing the kinetic equation f…
We look at how asset exchange models can be mapped to random iterated function systems (IFS) giving new insights into the dynamics of wealth accumulation in such models. In particular, we focus on the "yard-sale" (winner gets a random fraction of the poorer players wealth) and the "theft-and-fraud" (winner gets a rando…
Study shows wealth distribution tails near criticality are not universal.
Yard-Sale (YS) is a stochastic multiplicative wealth-exchange model with two phases: a stable one where wealth is shared, and an unstable one where wealth condenses onto one agent. YS is here studied numerically on 1d rings, 2d square lattices, and random graphs with variable average coordination, comparing its propert…
A thermodynamic theory explains EU election vote distributions.
Many models of market dynamics make use of the idea of wealth exchanges among economic agents. A simple analogy compares the wealth in a society with the energy in a physical system, and the trade between agents to the energy exchange between molecules during collisions. However, while in physical systems the equiparti…
Inequality persists as wealth concentrates in a few agents.
We study two kinds of economic exchange, additive and multiplicative, in a system of N agents. The work is divided in two parts, in the first one, the agents are free to interact with each other. The system evolves to a Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution with additive exchange and condenses with a multiplicative one. If bank…
Study chaotic dynamics in social stratification models leading to thermalization and turbulence.
We studied the Bouchaud-Mézard(BM) model, which was introduced to explain Pareto's law in a real economy, on a random network. Using "adiabatic and independent" assumptions, we analytically obtained the stationary probability distribution function of wealth. The results shows that wealth-condensation, indicated by the …
The study applies wealth thermalization hypothesis to social networks and explains inequality.
Multi-agent models have been used in many contexts to study generic collective behavior. Similarly, complex networks have become very popular because of the diversity of growth rules giving rise to scale-free behavior. Here we study adaptive networks where the agents trade ``wealth'' when they are linked together while…
It is known that asset exchange models with symmetric interaction between agents show either a Gibbs/log-normal distribution of assets among the agents or condensation of the entire wealth in the hands of a single agent, depending upon the rules of exchange. Here we explore the effects of introducing asymmetry in the i…
We present a simplified model for the exploitation of finite resources by interacting agents, where each agent receives a random fraction of the available resources. An extremal dynamics ensures that the poorest agent has a chance to change its economic welfare. After a long transient, the system self-organizes into a …
The world GDP distribution is described using thermodynamics principles.
We investigate the problem of wealth distribution from the viewpoint of asset exchange. Robust nature of Pareto's law across economies, ideologies and nations suggests that this could be an outcome of trading strategies. However, the simple asset exchange models fail to reproduce this feature. A yardsale(YS) model in w…
Many recent models of trade dynamics use the simple idea of wealth exchanges among economic agents in order to obtain a stable or equilibrium distribution of wealth among the agents. In particular, a plain analogy compares the wealth in a society with the energy in a physical system, and the trade between agents to the…
We report on results concerning a partially aggregated Stock Flow Consistent (SFC) macroeconomic model in the stationary state where the sectors of banks and firms are aggregated, the sector of households is dis-aggregated, and the probability density function (pdf) of the wealth of households is exogenous, constrained…
Punctuated Equilibrium (PE) states that after long periods of evolutionary quiescence, species evolution can take place in short time intervals, where sudden differentiation makes new species emerge and some species extinct. In this paper, we introduce and study the effect of punctuated equilibrium on two different ass…
Paper proposes HCDC to improve hyperparameter search efficiency.
We describe financial systems as condensates, similar to Bose-Einstein condensates, and calculate statistical distributions following from the model. The calculated distributions of investments into speculated financial assets are found equivalent to a Pareto distribution, and the calculated distributions of the price …
The paper analyzes diffusion condensation for data geometry and topology.
We present a linear agent based model on brand competition. Each agent belongs to one of the two brands and interacts with its nearest neighbors. In the process the agent can decide to change to the other brand if the move is beneficial. The numerical simulations show that the systems always condenses into a state when…
We give a direct proof that the Freed-Lott differential analytic index is well defined and a condensed proof of the differential Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem. As a byproduct we also obtain a direct proof that the R/Z analytic index is well defined and a condensed proof of the R/Z Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.
This paper presents a phase diagram for two-layer neural networks under different initialization scales.
We examine on the static and dynamical properties of quantum knots in a Bose-Einstein condensate. In particular, we consider the Gross-Pitaevskii model and revise a technique to construct ab initio the condensate wave-function of a generic torus knot. After analysing its excitation energy, we study its dynamics relatin…

Generative model for condensed matter using Riemannian flow matching.
Given any nondegenerate k-dimensional minimal submanifold K of codimension greater than 1, we prove the existence of families of constant mean curvature submanifolds, with mean curvature varying from one member of the family to another, which `condense' to K. In particular, our result proves the existence of constant m…
A new method reduces complexity and uncertainty in neural networks.
A theory of exceptional extreme events, characterized by their abnormal sizes compared with the rest of the distribution, is presented. Such outliers, called "dragon-kings", have been reported in the distribution of financial drawdowns, city-size distributions (e.g., Paris in France and London in the UK), in material f…
A sequence of constant mean curvature surfaces with mean curvature in a three-dimensional manifold condenses to a compact and connected graph consisting of a finite union of curves if is contained in a tubular neighbourhood of of size for every . Th…
We introduce an irreversible discrete multiplicative process that undergoes Bose-Einstein condensation as a generic model of competition. New players with different abilities successively join the game and compete for limited resources. A player's future gain is proportional to its ability and its current gain. The the…
The condensed nearest neighbor (CNN) algorithm is a heuristic for reducing the number of prototypical points stored by a nearest neighbor classifier, while keeping the classification rule given by the reduced prototypical set consistent with the full set. I present an upper bound on the number of prototypical points ac…

Model compares altruism and individualism in wealth dynamics.
This is a condensed exposition of the results of a future work, based on a talk of the second author at the Oberwolfach workshop "Poisson Geometry", April 30--4 May 2007.
We model a closed economic system with interactions that generates the features of empirical wealth distribution across all wealth brackets, namely a Gibbsian trend in the lower and middle wealth range and a Pareto trend in the higher range, by simply limiting the an agents' interaction to only agents with nearly the s…
Combines absolute and relative wealth in portfolio optimization with power utility functions.
Computing equilibrium states in condensed-matter many-body systems, such as solvated proteins, is a long-standing challenge. Lacking methods for generating statistically independent equilibrium samples in "one shot", vast computational effort is invested for simulating these system in small steps, e.g., using Molecular…
ICAL improves deep learning model accuracy and NLL with optimized batch labeling.
Reproductive success and survival are influenced by wealth in human populations. Wealth is transmitted to offsprings and strategies of transmission vary over time and among populations, the main variation being how equally wealth is transmitted to children. Here we propose a model where we simulate both the dynamics of…
