Kelvin Waves, Klein-Kramers and Kolmogorov Equations, Path-Dependent Financial Instruments: Survey and New Results

no code implementations8 Sep 2023 Alexander Lipton

We have identified connections in these seemingly disparate areas as we link together small wave-like perturbations of linear flows in ideal and viscous fluids described in hydrodynamics by Kevin waves to motions of free and harmonically bound particles described in molecular physics by Klein-Kramers and Kolmogorov equations to Gaussian and non-Gaussian affine processes, e. g., Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and Feller, arising in financial engineering.

SPX, VIX and scale-invariant LSV\footnote{Local Stochastic Volatility}

no code implementations17 Feb 2023 Alexander Lipton, Adil Reghai

Local Stochastic Volatility (LSV) models have been used for pricing and hedging derivatives positions for over twenty years.

Toward an efficient hybrid method for pricing barrier options on assets with stochastic volatility

no code implementations16 Feb 2022 Alexander Lipton, Artur Sepp

We combine the one-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation and the semi-analytical one-dimensional heat potential method to design an efficient technique for pricing barrier options on assets with correlated stochastic volatility.

Multilayer heat equations and their solutions via oscillating integral transforms

no code implementations2 Dec 2021 Andrey Itkin, Alexander Lipton, Dmitry Muravey

By expanding the Dirac delta function in terms of the eigenfunctions of the corresponding Sturm-Liouville problem, we construct some new (oscillating) integral transforms.

Cryptocurrencies and the Future of Money

no code implementations21 Sep 2021 Matheus R. Grasselli, Alexander Lipton

We review different classes of cryptocurrencies with emphasis on their economic properties.

A closed-form solution for optimal mean-reverting trading strategies

no code implementations23 Mar 2020 Alexander Lipton, Marcos Lopez de Prado

They enter a long position when a security is priced below its estimated equilibrium level, and they enter a short position when a security is priced above its estimated equilibrium level.

Answers to interview questions sent to a selected group of former physicists working in finance.

Towards a Design Philosophy for Interoperable Blockchain Systems

no code implementations15 May 2018 Thomas Hardjono, Alexander Lipton, Alex Pentland

In this paper we discuss a design philosophy for interoperable blockchain systems, using the design philosophy of the Internet architecture as the basis to identify key design principles.

Numerical analysis of an extended structural default model with mutual liabilities and jump risk

no code implementations30 Dec 2016 Vadim Kaushansky, Alexander Lipton, Christoph Reisinger

We consider a structural default model in an interconnected banking network as in Lipton [International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance, 19(6), 2016], with mutual obligations between each pair of banks.
