A Microeconomic Finance Model with a Multi-Asset Market and a Multi-Investor Heterogeneous Groups

Abstract

We present a mathematical model of a market with $m$ shares traded across $n$ investor groups, each one with similar motivations and trading strategies. The market of each asset consists of a fixed amount of cash and shares (no additions are allowed over time, so the system is closed), and the trading groups are influenced by trend and valuation motivations when buying or selling each asset, but follow a strategy where the purchase of one asset depends on the price of another, while the sale does not. Using these assumptions and basic microeconomic principles, the mathematical model is derived using a dynamic systems approach. We analyze the stability of the model's equilibrium points and determine the parameter conditions for such stability. First, we show that all equilibria are stable in the absence of a clear emphasis on trend-based valuation for each share. Secondly, for systems where the trading group prioritizes the valuation of each stock and the trend of the other for trading purposes, we establish stability conditions and demonstrate with numerical examples that when instability occurs, it manifests as price oscillations in the stocks. Furthermore, we argue for the existence of periodic solutions via a Hopf bifurcation, taking the momentum coefficient as the bifurcation parameter. Finally, we present examples and numerical simulations to support and expand upon the analytical results. One finding in economics and finance is the existence of cyclical behavior in the absence of exogenous factors, as determined by the momentum coefficient. In particular, a stable equilibrium price becomes unstable as trend-based trading increases.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
