Competition between DEXs through Dynamic Fees

This paper characterizes the approximate Nash equilibrium of competing decentralized exchanges setting dynamic fees, revealing that while the two-regime fee structure persists, competition shifts the fee-switching boundary to a weighted average of oracle and competitor rates, ultimately reducing slippage for strategic traders while having activity-dependent effects on noise traders.

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.

Choice of Collateral Currency in Differential Swaps

This paper extends existing valuation frameworks for differential swaps by deriving explicit pricing and hedging strategies for contracts with collateral denominated in a currency different from the cash flows, demonstrating that such foreign-currency collateral introduces significant non-trivial valuation adjustments and risk exposures that must be incorporated into modern multi-currency models.
