From Alpha to Execution: Trading Horizons, Regimes, and Schedules under Concave Impact and Hurst Scaling

Classical execution models assume linear impact, diffusive prices, and an exogenous horizon. We study execution under concave power-law impact and Hurst-scaled price fluctuations, and make two contributions. First, we choose the execution horizon by maximizing the Sharpe ratio of the trade’s realize

Topological Risk Parity

We develop \emph{Topological Risk Parity} (TRP), a tree-based portfolio construction approach intended for long/short, market neutral, factor-aware portfolios. The method is motivated by the dominance of passive/factor flows that naturally create a tree-like structure in markets. We introduce two im

Endogenous Crashes as Phase Transitions

This paper explores the mechanisms behind extreme financial events, specifically market crashes, by employing the theoretical framework of phase transitions. We focus on endogenous crashes, driven by internal market dynamics, and model these events as first-order phase transitions critical, stochast
