Given a degree sequence $d$, the realization graph $\mathcal{G_F}(d)$ is the graph whose vertices are all labeled realizations of $d$, where two realizations are adjacent if they differ by a single $2$-switch. We prove that $\mathcal{G_F}(d)$ admits a Hamilton path for every degree sequence $d$. The problem was initiated by Arikati...
We give a definition of coverings and branched coverings on general (non-locally connected) metric spaces and study their lifting properties. Instead of lifting curves the theory is developed by lifting continua. An alternative homotopy theory is depicted and versions generalizing the classical results are given. We study applications...
Dengue remains a major public health challenge in tropical regions, and recurring outbreaks suggest that current intervention strategies are not yet fully effective. Existing mathematical models typically assume unlimited hospital capacity and continuously applied fogging, neglecting practical constraints that strongly influence...
We use the tropical trigonal construction to describe the minimal toroidal resolution of the Prym period map $\overline{R}_4\dashrightarrow\overline{A}_3$.
Characterizing communication performance under the physical constraints imposed by radio frequency front-end circuits is essential for bridging communication-theoretic analysis and practical circuit design. In this work, we investigate the achievable-rate upper bound of a multiple-input single-output (MISO) system with a...
Market-neutral portfolios aim to generate consistent returns while offsetting systematic market risk. Traditional approaches based on factor models or convex optimization often underperform during market regime shifts or when structural assumptions break down. We propose AlphaZeroBeta, a deep reinforcement learning framework designed...
Prediction markets are attracting growing attention as trading volumes rise and their practical relevance increases. To ensure efficient price discovery, liquidity provision becomes ever more important. Due to the binary settlement structure in prediction markets, optimal market making leads to an optimization problem that is...
We study equilibrium price formation in an incomplete financial market with a large population of agents, where stock prices are subject to a single-default event. Agents are assumed to be heterogeneous in their risk aversion and terminal liabilities, and maximize exponential utility of terminal net wealth. We first characterize each...
Automated market makers (AMMs) for prediction markets descend from market scoring rules, where a mechanism operator subsidizes a market to aggregate beliefs about uncertain events. The existing literature has focused on bounding the total worst-case loss to the subsidizer, but has not addressed how that loss is distributed across...
Abliteration - deleting a model's refusal direction from its weights - is the standard recipe behind popular "uncensored" open-weight models. We show the surgery is not clean. As a disposition probe we use 21,600 decisions under uncertainty - weekly up/down calls on 60 Warsaw Stock Exchange equities over 18 weeks, replayed through a...
We develop a continuous-time structural dynamic model to determine the exact insolvency regions of banks arising from the non-linear interaction between liquidity and credit risk. While existing literature predominantly treats these risks in isolation or via reduced-form specifications, we explicitly model the feedback loop where...
In this paper, we study a general continuous-time Principal-Agent (PA) problem, where the agent privately makes effort and consumption decisions over time under a contract with payment schemes both in continuous time and in lump sums. In particular, we allow the continuous payment process to be a controlled diffusion, which is...
This paper develops a theory of monetary risk measures on metric state spaces. We propose the space of Lipschitz functions vanishing at a reference state as a natural domain for financial positions. The associated Lipschitz-free space provides its canonical predual, linking anchored Lipschitz payoffs to transport-based dual variables...
An order-book market whose liquidity provision is anchored to a fundamental value carries a restoring force: the price mean-reverts to value and the book refills after a shock. We show this restoring force is a robust intrinsic stabiliser and identify it causally-dialling the anchor down removes the mean-reversion, and a...
We consider a novel robust utility maximisation problem under bounded cumulative transition rate uncertainty within the class of non-Markovian marked point processes on a finite state-space. Utility is maximised over the class of admissible controls, while Nature chooses a worst-case biometric scenario from the class of admissible,...
Simulating dependent Bernoulli outcomes with prescribed means and pairwise Pearson correlations is a common task in risk modeling. A familiar approach is the Gaussian-threshold workflow for binary outcomes, often viewed as a Bernoulli analogue of the Gaussian copula construction. We show that setting latent Gaussian correlations equal...
In this paper, we develop an open-economy macroeconomic model of a Proof-of-Stake network to analyze nominal token-price dynamics and the systemic effects of speculative capital. We first consider a network populated solely by active utility users, who finance network activity through a steady exogenous inflow of fiat currency. We...
This paper investigates second-order asymptotic expansions for the conditional higher moment (CoHM) coherent risk measure under a Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) dependence structure, capturing a weak contagion between a primary loss risk and a reference risk. Assuming that the primary risk belongs to the Fréchet, Weibull, or Gumbel...
Taiwan's central role in global semiconductor manufacturing exposes Taiwan-related ETFs to technology concentration, geopolitical uncertainty, and supply-chain disruptions, resulting in return distributions characterized by heavy tails, volatility clustering, and asymmetric responses to negative shocks. This paper analyzes thirty...
This paper investigates a multi-layer reinsurance chain within a stochastic differential game framework involving m competing insurers and n reinsurers. Specifically, Stackelberg differential games are employed to characterize the strategic interactions between reinsurance buyers and sellers at each layer of the chain. In addition, a...
Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional Euclidean vector space, ,where $n\ge 4$, and $\ell = \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$. We prove the sharp pointwise estimate \[ q_2(E) \ge -\frac{2(\ell -1)}{3\ell} \mathrm{Scal}(E) \mathrm{Id}_{Λ^2V^*} \] for every algebraic curvature tensor $E$ on $V$ with nonnegative sectional curvature. Applying...
We develop a unified framework for metallic and superconducting phases obtained by doping a fractional Chern insulator (FCI) with $C=1/3$. Starting from the parton construction $c(\mathbf r)=f_1(\mathbf r)f_2(\mathbf r)f_3(\mathbf r)$, the low-energy theory has $SU(3)_{\mathrm{gauge}}\times SU(3)_{\mathrm{valley}}$ symmetry and nine...
Recent DESI results exhibit preference for a Null Energy Condition violating dynamical dark energy, with early phantom behaviour. We explore an alternative interpretation in which this preference arises from unconventional dark matter dynamics rather than from dynamical dark energy. We propose a dynamical dark matter (DDM) model, with...
Future interferometers may detect a gravitational-wave (GW) signal from a cosmological first-order phase transition. Reconstructing the underlying particle-physics model from such a signal requires theoretical control over the map from microphysics to the spectrum. For classically scale-invariant extensions of the Standard Model,...
Constraining local primordial non-Gaussianity through scale-dependent bias requires an accurate determination of the PNG bias parameter $b_φ$, which is completely degenerate with $f_\mathrm{NL}$ in the galaxy power spectrum. The standard universality relation predicts $b_φ$ from the linear bias, but breaks down for realistic galaxy...
