Are Three Matrices All You Need To Beat the Market? Observable Matrix Dynamics for Portfolio Optimization

Igor Halperin

We present a simple framework for dynamic portfolio management that uses nothing but daily prices, trading volumes, and market capitalizations. Its state is three fixed-size matric…

Observable Matrix Dynamics of Stocks

Igor Halperin

The Observable Matrix Dynamics (OMD) approach monitors the time development of complex non-linear systems through the trajectory of a fixed-size distance matrix and its spectrum. W…

Learning as Observable Matrix Dynamics: Diffusive Relaxations versus Phase Transitions

Igor Halperin

Observable Matrix Dynamics (OMD) is a diagnostic framework that probes the dynamics of high-dimensional internal representations of inputs by a neural network via a fixed-size $N \…

I-BBS: Coordinate-Free Inference of Latent Sub-Manifolds Using Random Distance Matrix Theory

Igor Halperin

Bogomolny, Bohigas and Schmit (BBS) found that the spectrum of the pairwise distance matrix on N points sampled from a smooth d-dimensional manifold encodes a signature of the unde…

Frustrated Dynamics of Distance Matrices

Igor Halperin

We introduce the Frustrated Distance Matrix (FDM) model, a dynamic extension of the static distance-matrix ensemble on S^2 analyzed by Bogomolny, Bohigas, and Schmit (BBS). Its ent…

Frustrated Fields: Statistical Field Theory for Frustrated Brownian Particles on 2D Manifolds

Igor Halperin

We develop a statistical field theory that describes the large-N limit of a system of Brownian particles with quenched random pairwise interactions on a compact two-dimensional Rie…

Order Out of Noise and Disorder: Fate of the Frustrated Manifold

Igor Halperin

We study Langevin dynamics of Brownian particles on two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, interacting through pairwise potentials linear in geodesic distance with quenched rand…

Physicists Are Still Joking

Igor Halperin

This volume, \textbf{Physicists Are Still Joking}, serves as a definitive almanac of scientific humor spanning sixty years. It traces the evolution of professional folklore across…

Non-Linear and Meta-Stable Dynamics in Financial Markets: Evidence from High Frequency Crypto Currency Market Makers

Igor Halperin

This work builds upon the long-standing conjecture that linear diffusion models are inadequate for complex market dynamics. Specifically, it provides experimental validation for th…

Marketron Through the Looking Glass: From Equity Dynamics to Option Pricing in Incomplete Markets

Igor Halperin, Andrey Itkin

The Marketron model, introduced by [Halperin, Itkin, 2025], describes price formation in inelastic markets as the nonlinear diffusion of a quasiparticle (the marketron) in a multid…

Marketron games: Self-propelling stocks vs dumb money and metastable dynamics of the Good, Bad and Ugly markets

I. Halperin, A. Itkin

We present a model of price formation in an inelastic market whose dynamics are partially driven by both money flows and their impact on asset prices. The money flow to the market…

SCOP: Schrodinger Control Optimal Planning for Goal-Based Wealth Management

Igor Halperin

We consider the problem of optimization of contributions of a financial planner such as a working individual towards a financial goal such as retirement. The objective of the plann…

Pricing Illiquid Options with Liquid Proxies Using Mixed Dynamic-Static Hedging

I. Halperin, A. Itkin

We study the problem of optimal pricing and hedging of a European option written on an illiquid asset using a set of proxies: a liquid asset , and liquid European option…

Inclusive B \to sg decay in QCD

I. Halperin, M. Lublinsky

The inclusive nonleptonic transition rate of B meson in gluonic penguin channel is calculated in QCD using the heavy quark mass expansion. We found the branching ratio to be approx…
