Abstract

This article presents the development and validation of an artificial market for Brazilian Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), known as Fundos de Investimento Imobiliario (FIIs), using agent-based modeling methodology. The central contribution of this work is the integration, within a single multi-agent system, of the FII value chain, from the generation of real estate revenues subject to vacancy and operational costs, through dividend distribution, to the trading of shares by heterogeneous investors mediated by a double auction mechanism with an order book. The model incorporates endogenous macroeconomic variables, such as the Selic, the Brazilian benchmark interest rate, and inflation, and represents agent heterogeneity through a behavioral decomposition into fundamentalist, speculator, and noise trader components, modulated by individual financial literacy levels. The model was calibrated using the Method of Simulated Moments applied to the historical series of the IFIX index, the Brazilian REIT market index, between 2021 and 2025. The validation results, obtained using two distinct methods, demonstrate that the model reproduces the main stylized facts observed in the real market: (i) the coverage rate of calibrated moments exceeds 75 percent; (ii) 96 percent of simulated trajectories are structurally indistinguishable from real IFIX periods according to the nearest-neighbor criterion; and (iii) stylized facts such as the power law of autocorrelations of absolute returns and aggregational Gaussianity emerge spontaneously, without being incorporated into the calibration objective function. The results of the validation process indicate that the artificial market captures structural dynamics of the FII market, opening perspectives for its use as a computational laboratory for the analysis of regulatory policies and pricing mechanisms.

The Computational Complexity of Holant Problems on 4-regular Graphs from the Stable Subgroup Sequence of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$

The Holant framework provides a general setting for studying counting problems and includes graph homomorphisms (\#GH) and counting constraint satisfaction problems (\#CSP) as special cases. Over the past twenty years, a series of computational complexity dichotomies have been established for Holant problems, but the classification for complex-valued signatures is still open. The main obstacle is the case in which all signatures have even arity. In this paper, we establish a dichotomy for Holant problems with a complex-valued 4-ary signature, which is a key base case for the full classification of Holant problems. We present a new strategy by introducing Schur's theorem, the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and stable subgroup sequences into the proof. These new techniques are of independent interest.

Topology inside NC$^1$

We show that ACC$^0$ is precisely what can be computed with constant-width circuits of polynomial size and polylogarithmic genus. This extends a characterization given by Hansen, showing that planar constant-width circuits also characterize ACC$^0$. Thus polylogarithmic genus provides no additional computational power in this model. We consider other generalizations of planarity, including crossing number and thickness. We show that constant-width circuits of polynomial size and thickness two already suffice to capture all of NC$^1$.
