A quantum statistical approach to simplified stock markets

General Finance 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

We use standard perturbation techniques originally formulated in quantum (statistical) mechanics in the analysis of a toy model of a stock market which is given in terms of bosonic operators. In particular we discuss the probability of transition from a given value of the {\em portfolio} of a certain trader to a different one. This computation can also be carried out using some kind of {\em Feynman graphs} adapted to the present context.
