Abstract

We describe financial systems as condensates, similar to Bose-Einstein condensates, and calculate statistical distributions following from the model. The calculated distributions of investments into speculated financial assets are found equivalent to a Pareto distribution, and the calculated distributions of the price moves are found equivalent to exponentially truncated Levy distributions.
