Lagrangian space consistency relation for large scale structure
Consistency relations, which relate the squeezed limit of an (N+1)-point
correlation function to an N-point function, are non-perturbative symmetry
statements that hold even if the associated high momentum modes are deep in the
nonlinear regime and astrophysically complex. Recently, Kehagias & Riotto and
Peloso & Pietroni discovered a consistency relation applicable to large scale
structure. We show that this can be recast into a simple physical statement in
Lagrangian space: that the squeezed correlation function (suitably normalized)
vanishes. This holds regardless of whether the correlation observables are at
the same time or not, and regardless of whether multiple-streaming is present.
The simplicity of this statement suggests that an analytic understanding of
large scale structure in the nonlinear regime may be particularly promising in
Lagrangian space.Comment: 19 pages, no figure
Intraday pattern in bid-ask spreads and its power-law relaxation for Chinese A-share stocks
We use high-frequency data of 1364 Chinese A-share stocks traded on the
Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange to investigate the intraday
patterns in the bid-ask spreads. The daily periodicity in the spread time
series is confirmed by Lomb analysis and the intraday bid-ask spreads are found
to exhibit -shaped pattern with idiosyncratic fine structure. The intraday
spread of individual stocks relaxes as a power law within the first hour of the
continuous double auction from 9:30AM to 10:30AM with exponents
for the Shanghai market and
for the Shenzhen market. The power-law
relaxation exponent of individual stocks is roughly normally
distributed. There is evidence showing that the accumulation of information
widening the spread is an endogenous process.Comment: 12 Elsart pages including 7 eps figure
An unconditionally energy stable finite difference scheme for a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation
In this work, the MMC-TDGL equation, a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation is
solved numerically by using the finite difference method in combination with a
convex splitting technique of the energy functional. For the non-stochastic
case, we develop an unconditionally energy stable difference scheme which is
proved to be uniquely solvable. For the stochastic case, by adopting the same
splitting of the energy functional, we construct a similar and uniquely
solvable difference scheme with the discretized stochastic term. The resulted
schemes are nonlinear and solved by Newton iteration. For the long time
simulation, an adaptive time stepping strategy is developed based on both
first- and second-order derivatives of the energy. Numerical experiments are
carried out to verify the energy stability, the efficiency of the adaptive time
stepping and the effect of the stochastic term.Comment: This paper has been accepted for publication in SCIENCE CHINA
