Scaling Limits of Bivariate Nearly-Unstable Hawkes Processes and Applications to Rough Volatility

We prove a functional limit theorem for a pair of nearly unstable Hawkes processes coupled through a triangular cross-excitation mechanism, when the two kernels have distinct heavy-tail exponents. This heterogeneous regime produces two different degrees of roughness and, to the best of our knowledge

Market-implied time to transition to a low-carbon economy: a stochastic modelling and inference framework

This paper introduces a new market-implied object, Time to Transition (TtT), extracted from the difference between two selected nodes of the greenium term structure. TtT is defined as the latent waiting time until this cross-maturity greenium difference vanishes, meaning that the greenium becomes eq

Pareto frontier of portfolio investment under volatility uncertainty and short-sale constraints market

In this paper, we investigate a portfolio investment problem under volatility uncertainty and short-sale constraints market via sublinear expectation which is used to model volatility uncertainty. We assume the stocks admit volatility uncertainty. Thus the related portfolio has upper variance (maxim

Fast Monte-Carlo

This paper proposes an eigenvalue-based small-sample approximation of the celebrated Markov Chain Monte Carlo that delivers an invariant steady-state distribution that is consistent with traditional Monte Carlo methods. The proposed eigenvalue-based methodology reduces the number of paths required f

Martingale Cohomology, Holonomy, and Homological Arbitrage

We introduce a transport cohomological framework for categorical filtrations. Given a contravariant filtration $F:\mathcal T^{op}\to\mathbf{Prob}$ on a small category (\mathcal T), conditional expectation induces transport operators between local probabilistic states. Using the simplicial structur

Modeling Stochastic Multi-Agent Interaction in Intraday Battery Energy Storage Dispatch with Market Power

We develop a stochastic game-theoretic model for intraday dispatch of grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs). We assume that each BESS operator competitively manages her state-of-charge to maximize energy arbitrage revenues, driven by the endogenized electricity price that depends on the

A deep learning approach for pricing convertible bonds with path-dependent reset and call provisions

This paper develops a deep learning-based framework for pricing convertible bonds with path-dependent contractual features, namely downward conversion price reset and issuer call clauses under rolling-window trigger rules, which are widespread in the convertible bond market. We formulate the valuati

A Geometry-Aware Residual Correction of Hagan's SABR Implied Volatility Formula

This paper proposes a hybrid methodology to improve the approximation of SABR (Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho) implied volatility by combining analytical structure with machine learning. The approach augments the neural-network input representation with geometric features derived from the stochastic diff

A Market-Rule-Informed Neural Network for Efficient Imbalance Electricity Price Forecasting

Accurate and efficient imbalance electricity price forecasting is critical for industrial energy trading systems, especially as battery assets and automated bidding pipelines increasingly participate in balancing markets. However, real-time forecasting is complicated by nonlinear market-rule-based p

A Taxonomy of Event-Linked Perpetual Futures: Variant Designs Beyond the Single-Market Binary Case

Paper 1 of this research programme develops a resolution-aware risk-design framework for the simplest event-linked perpetual: a contract whose underlying tracks a single binary prediction-market probability through resolution. The instrument class is broader. Variants span conditional probabilities

A Validated Volatility-Volume-Gap Classifier for Regime Identification in MNQ Intraday Data

This paper constructs and validates a composite day-classification system for Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 futures (MNQ) using three pre-market observable conditions: first-30-minute return magnitude, overnight gap magnitude, and abnormal opening-bar volume relative to a rolling baseline. Using 947 regul

AgenticAITA: A Proof-Of-Concept About Deliberative Multi-Agent Reasoning for Autonomous Trading Systems

Conventional algorithmic trading systems are grounded in deterministic heuristics or offline-trained statistical models that cannot adapt to the semantic complexity of rapidly shifting market regimes.

American Options Pricing under Heston Model via Curriculum Learning in Coupled PINNs

In American options, the early exercise feature allows the option to be exercised at any time prior to expiration. However, this flexibility introduces a challenge: the pricing model must value the option while simultaneously determining an unknown, time-varying exercise boundary. The Heston model i

Analytic approximation for Bachelier option prices and applications

It is well-known that, in the Bachelier model, when asset prices and volatilities are uncorrelated, the implied volatility coincides with the fair value of the volatility swap. In this paper, via classical Itô calculus and Taylor expansions, we write the price for out-of-the-money (OTM) and in-the-m

Bayesian Dynamic Modeling of Realized Volatility in Financial Asset Price Forecasting

Beyond ESG Scores: Learning Dynamic Constraints for Sequential Portfolio Optimization

ESG-aware portfolio optimization is increasingly important for sustainable capital allocation, yet most learning-based methods still operationalize ESG by appending static scores to the policy observation or reward. This creates a mismatch for sequential control: ESG scores are noisy, provider-depen

Coordination as an Architectural Layer for LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems

Multi-agent LLM systems fail in production at rates between 41% and 87%, mostly due to coordination defects rather than base-model capability.

Decision-Induced Ranking Explains Prediction Inflation and Excessive Turnover in SPO-Based Portfolio Optimization

Decision-focused learning (DFL) is attractive for portfolio optimization because it trains predictors according to downstream decision quality rather than prediction accuracy alone. However, SPO(Smart, Predict then Optimize surrogate)-based DFL may produce inflated return signals and unstable portfo
