Empirical universality and non-universality of local dynamics in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model

This paper empirically demonstrates that while the runtime of local greedy search for optimizing Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass Hamiltonians is universal across various coupling distributions, the performance of Parisi's local reluctant search is surprisingly non-universal and sensitive to the specific entry distribution, particularly when couplings have discrete support.

Rough differential equations for volatility

This paper introduces a canonical framework for jointly lifting Brownian motion and low-regularity stochastic rough paths to model rough volatility via a single rough differential equation, thereby extending existing partial rough path theories, providing a numerical approximation scheme for correlated settings, and demonstrating successful calibration to market data.

Optimal Consumption and Portfolio Choice with No-Borrowing Constraint in the Kim-Omberg Model

This paper solves an intertemporal utility maximization problem with a no-borrowing constraint and stochastic excess returns in the Kim-Omberg framework by employing Lagrange duality to transform the primal problem into a dual singular control problem, which is then characterized via an auxiliary two-dimensional optimal stopping problem to derive optimal consumption and portfolio strategies.

Asymptotics of randomly weighted sums without moment conditions of random weights

This paper investigates the asymptotic behaviors of randomly weighted sums with upper tail asymptotically independent increments under new conditions without requiring moment assumptions on the weights, deriving uniform asymptotics and applying them to estimate finite-time ruin probabilities in discrete-time risk models.

Hematopoiesis as a continuum: from stochastic compartmental model to hydrodynamic limit

This paper establishes a hydrodynamic limit for a multiscale stochastic compartmental model of hematopoiesis, proving that the dynamics of stem, immature, and mature cells converge to a deterministic system of partial differential equations with boundary conditions as the number of immature compartments approaches infinity.

Stochastic Reaction Networks Within Interacting Compartments with Content-Dependent Fragmentation

This paper establishes new sufficient conditions for the non-explosivity and positive recurrence of stochastic reaction networks within compartments whose fragmentation rates depend on their internal species content, demonstrating that previous theoretical results for content-independent dynamics fail in this more general, biologically relevant setting.
