We present fast-vollib, an open-source Python library that provides high-performance European option pricing, implied volatility (IV) computation, and Greeks under the Black-76, Black-Scholes, and Black-Scholes-Merton models. The library is…
We employ single-qubit quantum circuit learning (QCL) to model the dynamics of volatility time series. To assess its effectiveness, we generate synthetic data using the Rational GARCH model, which is specifically designed to capture…
Agent-based models provide a constructive approach to studying emergent dynamics in life-like systems composed of interacting, adaptive agents. Financial markets serve as a canonical example of such systems, where collective price dynamics…
Financial bond yield forecasting is challenging due to data scarcity, nonlinear macroeconomic dependencies, and evolving market conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that leverages Causal Generative Adversarial Networks…
This paper investigates the valuation of variable annuity contracts with an early surrender option under non-Markovian models. Moreover, policyholders are provided with guaranteed minimum maturity and death benefits to protect against the…
The Nelson-Siegel-Svensson (NSS) interest rate curve model yields a separable nonlinear least-squares problem whose inner linear block is often ill-conditioned because the basis functions become nearly collinear. We analyze this instability…
This paper develops a computational framework for Multi-Period Martingale Optimal Transport (MMOT), addressing convergence rates, algorithmic efficiency, and financial calibration. Our contributions include: (1) Theoretical analysis: We…
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries have emerged as a prominent subclass of real-world assets (RWAs), offering cryptographically secured, yield-bearing instruments issued across multi-chain Web3 infrastructures, with growing significance for…
The exponential growth of financial research has rendered traditional systematic literature reviews (SLRs) increasingly impractical, as manual screening and narrative synthesis struggle to keep pace with the scale and complexity of modern…
Predicting real-world events from live market signals demands systems that fuse qualitative news with quantitative order-book dynamics under strict temporal discipline -- a challenge existing benchmarks fail to capture. We present…
In this study, we introduce an analytics framework, the Bank Risk Interlinkage with Dynamic Graph and Event Simulations (BRIDGES), to capture the systemic risks associated with the growing economic influence of the BRICS nations. This…
Factor models characterize the joint behavior of large sets of financial assets through a smaller number of underlying drivers. We develop a network-based framework in which factors emerge naturally from the structure of interactions among…
We examine whether news can improve realised volatility forecasting using a modern yet operationally simple NLP framework. News text is transformed into embedding-based representations, and forecasts are evaluated both as a standalone,…
We propose a multilevel stochastic approximation (MLSA) scheme for the computation of the value-at-risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES) of a financial loss, which can only be computed via simulations conditionally on the realisation of…
Quantum computing is becoming strategically relevant to finance because several core financial bottlenecks are already defined by combinatorial search, expectation estimation, rare-event analysis, representation learning, and long-horizon…
We present a differential machine learning method for zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options under a stochastic-volatility jump-diffusion model. To handle the ultra-short-maturity regime, we express the option price in Black-Scholes form with a…
This paper proposes PyFi, a novel framework for pyramid-like financial image understanding that enables vision language models (VLMs) to reason through question chains in a progressive, simple-to-complex manner. At the core of PyFi is…
Despite the empirical success of the rough Bergomi (rBergomi) model in modeling volatility dynamics, its practical use remains challenging due to high computational complexity in both pricing and calibration arising from its non-Markovian…
This research addresses accurate option pricing by employing models beyond the traditional Black-Scholes framework. While Black-Scholes provides a closed-form solution, it is limited by assumptions of constant volatility, no dividends, and…
We develop a unified model in which AI adoption in financial markets generates systemic risk through three mutually reinforcing channels: performative prediction, algorithmic herding, and cognitive dependency. Within an extended rational…
