Risk Management for Distributed Arbitrage Systems: Integrating Artificial Intelligence

Effective risk management solutions become absolutely crucial when financial markets embrace distributed technology and decentralized financing (DeFi). This study offers a thorough survey and comparative analysis of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in risk management for distributed arbitrage systems. We examine several modern caching techniques namely in memory caching, distributed caching, and proxy caching and their functions in enhancing performance in decentralized settings. Through literature review we examine the utilization of AI techniques for alleviating risks related to market volatility, liquidity challenges, operational failures, regulatory compliance, and security threats. This comparison research evaluates various case studies from prominent DeFi technologies, emphasizing critical performance metrics like latency reduction, load balancing, and system resilience. Additionally, we examine the problems and trade offs associated with these technologies, emphasizing their effects on consistency, scalability, and fault tolerance. By meticulously analyzing real world applications, specifically centering on the Aave platform as our principal case study, we illustrate how the purposeful amalgamation of AI with contemporary caching methodologies has revolutionized risk management in distributed arbitrage systems.

Anomalies in the electronic structure of a 5$d$ transition metal oxide, IrO$_2$

Ir-based materials have drawn much attention due to the observation of insulating phase believed to be driven by spin-orbit coupling while Ir 5$d$ states are expected to be weakly correlated due to their large orbital extensions. IrO$_2$, a simple binary material, shows metallic ground state which seems to deviate from the behavior of most other Ir-based materials and varied predictions in these material class. We studied the electronic structure of IrO$_2$ at different temperatures employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy with photon energies spanning from ultraviolet to hard $x$-ray range. Experimental spectra exhibit a signature of enhancement of Ir-O covalency in the bulk compared to the surface electronic structure. The branching ratio of the spin-orbit split Ir core level peaks is found to be larger than its atomic values and it enhances further in the bulk electronic structure. Such deviation from the atomic description of the core level spectroscopy manifests the enhancement of the orbital moment due to the solid state effects. The valence band spectra could be captured well within the density functional theory. The photon energy dependence of the features in the valence band spectra and their comparison with the calculated results show dominant Ir 5$d$ character of the features near the Fermi level; O 2$p$ peaks appear at higher binding energies. Interestingly, the O 2$p$ contributions of the feature at the Fermi level is significant and it enhances at low temperatures. This reveals an orbital selective enhancement of the covalency with cooling which is an evidence against purely spin-orbit coupling based scenario proposed for these systems.

Pressure induced Superconductivity and location of Fermi energy at Dirac point in BiSbTe3

We have grown single-crystal BiSbTe3 3D TI sample and studied structural, TE as well as pressure dependent magneto-transport properties. Large positive Seebeck coefficient confirmed the p-type nature of BiSbTe3, which is consistent with Hall measurement. We have also studied the electronic band structure using Laser-based ARPES, which revealed the existence of a Dirac-cone like metallic surface state in BiSbTe3 with a Dirac Point situated exactly at the Fermi level. Additionally, superconductivity emerges under pressure of 8 GPa with a critical temperature of ~2.5 K. With further increase of pressure, the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) increases and at 14 GPa it shows the maximum Tc (~3.3 K).

Anomalous and Topological Hall effect in Cu doped Sb2Te3 Topological Insulator

The magneto-transport and magnetization measurements of Sb1.90Cu0.10Te3 were performed at different temperatures and different fields. Magneto-transport measurement at high field indicates the coexistence of both bulk and surface states. The magnetization shows the induced antiferromagnetic ordering with Cu doping and the observed quantum oscillation in it indicates that magnetization in Sb1.90Cu0.10Te3 is the bulk property. The non linearity in Hall data suggests the existence of anomalous and topological Hall effect. The anomalous and topological Hall effect (THE) from measured hall data of Cu doped Sb2Te3 topological insulator have been evaluated.

Local excitons in silicon induced by SiGe quantum huts

Conversion of Si to a direct bandgap semiconductor for optoelectronic application is a great challenge for many decades. It is proposed that embedment of suitable sized quantum dots into silicon matrix may be exploited to convert silicon to a direct bandgap semiconductor. The other bottleneck to this outstanding issue is the identification of local excitons, a signature of direct bandgap property and their comportment within the dots that can be utilized in engineering optoelectronic devices, quantum communications, etc. We studied the core level spectra of Si/Ge quantum huts embedded Si employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. Inverted quantum huts (IQHs) of Ge (13.3nm x 6.6nm) were grown on a Si buffer layer deposited on Si(001) surface using molecular beam epitaxy method and the photoemission experiments were carried out at different locations of the IQH structures exposed via controlled sputtering and annealing processes. We discover distinct features in the Ge 3$d$ core level spectra at the lower binging energy side of the bulk 3$d$ peak in contrast to the scenario of core level satellites often observed due to photoemission final state effects. The energy of these features are found to be sensitive to the location of the IQH structure probed revealing different core hole screening by the excitons located at different parts of IQHs. These results reveal local character of the excitons in the IQHs necessary for type I photoluminescence and establish core level spectroscopy as a direct probe of local excitons. These finding are expected to help amalgamation of microelectronics and solid state photonics important for optoelectronic applications.

Hidden phase in parent Fe-pnictide superconductors

We investigate the origin of exoticity in Fe-based systems via studying the Fermiology of CaFe2As2 employing Angle Resolved Photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). While the Fermi surfaces (FSs) at 200 K and 31 K are observed to exhibit two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) topology, respectively, the FSs at intermediate temperatures reveal emergence of the 3D topology at much lower temperature than the structural & magnetic phase transition temperature (170 K, for the sample under scrutiny). This leads to the conclusion that the evolution of FS topology is not directly driven by the structural transition. In addition, we discover the existence in ambient conditions of energy bands related to the collapsed tetragonal (cT) phase. These bands are distinctly resolved in the high-photon energy spectra exhibiting strong Fe 3d character. They gradually move to higher binding energies due to thermal compression with cooling, leading to the emergence of 3D topology in the Fermi surface. These results reveal the so-far hidden existence of a cT phase in ambient conditions, which is argued to lead to quantum fluctuations responsible for the exotic electronic properties in Fe-pnictide superconductors.

Improvements in the contemporary photoemission spectroscopy implementation

In this short communication, we revise and refine our previous articles on this topic to simplify the modifications to the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) spectrometers required to finally implement our idea, with minimal hardware changes to the spectrometer, if any. Thus, we provide a less cumbersome, practically feasible strategy for verifying changes in the ARPES spectrum using the new photoelectron-detection method. A less cumbersome nature of it should also, in principle, allow us to be able to measure both the ARPES spectra (old as well as new) in one spectrometer for a direct and one-to-one comparison between both the spectra collected under identical (remainder of) experimental conditions. The modifications to the spectrometer are not expected to cause irreparable damage to it; on the contrary, either both could coexist in a single spectrometer, or one could easily revert to the old ARPES from the new one within it, upon choice. Thus, we hereby concretise our proposal.

Electronic structure of La(2)CoSi(3) - a non-Kondo analogue of a Kondo lattice, Ce(2)CoSi(3)

We study the electronic structure of a Pauli paramagnetic compound, La(2)CoSi(3) using photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio band structure calculations. Experimental valence band spectra exhibit signature of electron correlation induced feature around 2.5 eV - the correlation strength among Co 3d electrons is estimated to be close to 3 eV. The Co 2p core level spectra also exhibit correlation induced satellite features consistent with the scenario in the valence band spectra suggesting importance of conduction electron correlation in addition to the local moment in Kondo lattice systems. The La(2)CoSi(3) valence band spectra could be utilized to extract Ce 4f related spectral features and thus provide a good reference to study Kondo lattice systems in this class of materials. Temperature evolution of various core level spectra is found to be complex revealing deviations from a typical Fermi liquid behavior and emergence of distinct surface-bulk difference in the electronic structure at finite temperature.

Origin of non-Fermi liquid behavior in heavy fermion systems: A conceptual view

We critically examine the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior observed in heavy fermion systems located close to a magnetic instability and suggest a conceptual advance in physics in order to explain its origin. We argue that the treatment of electronic states responsible for magnetism near the Quantum Critical Point (QCP), should not be accomplished within the quantum mechanical formalism; instead they should be treated semi-classically. The observed NFL behavior can be explained within such a scenario. As a sequel we attempt to discuss its consequences for the explanation of high-TC superconductivity observed in Cuprates.

Evolution of the Kondo resonance feature and its relationship to spin-orbit coupling across the quantum critical point in Ce2Rh{1-x}CoxSi3

We investigate the evolution of the electronic structure of Ce2Rh{1-x}CoxSi3 as a function of x employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. Co substitution at the Rh sites in antiferromagnetic Ce2RhSi3 leads to a transition from an antiferromagnetic system to a Kondo system, Ce2CoSi3 via the Quantum Critical Point (QCP). High resolution photoemission spectra reveal distinct signature of the Kondo resonance feature (KRF) and its spin orbit split component (SOC) in the whole composition range indicating finite Kondo temperature scale at the quantum critical point. We observe that the intensity ratio of the Kondo resonance feature and its spin orbit split component, KRF/SOC gradually increases with the decrease in temperature in the strong hybridization limit. The scenario gets reversed if the Kondo temperature becomes lower than the magnetic ordering temperature. While finite Kondo temperature within the magnetically ordered phase indicates applicability of the spin density wave picture at the approach to QCP, the dominant temperature dependence of the spin-orbit coupled feature suggests importance of spin-orbit interactions in this regime.

Transport and magnetic behavior under pressure and high-resolution photoemission studies of Ce2Rh(o.7)Co(0.3)Si3, an alloy on the verge of quantum critical point

We report the influence of external pressure on the temperature dependence of magnetization and electrical resistivity as well as high-resolution photoemission studies for an alloy, Ce2Rh(0.7)Co(0.3)Si3, ordering magnetically below 3 K. It is found that the external pressure has the same effect as that induced by (further) Co substitution for Rh in the series, Ce2Rh(1-x)Co(x)Si3, resulting in qualitative changes in the features in the magnetic and transport data, with a suppression of magnetic ordering followed by quantum critical point effect. The high-resolution spectra reveal signature of Kondo feature at ambient feature. These findings support the validity of spin-density-wave picture in this series.

Importance of conduction electron correlation in a Kondo lattice, Ce2CoSi3

Kondo systems are usually described by the interaction of strong correlation induced local moment with the highly itinerant conduction electrons. Here, we study the role of electron correlations among conduction electrons in the electronic structure of a Kondo lattice compound, Ce$_2$CoSi$_3$, using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and {\it ab initio} band structure calculations, where Co 3$d$ electrons contribute in the conduction band. High energy resolution employed in the measurements helped to reveal signature of Ce 4$f$ states derived Kondo resonance feature at the Fermi level and dominance of Co 3$d$ contributions at higher binding energies in the conduction band. The line shape of the experimental Co 3$d$ band is found to be significantly different from that obtained from the band structure calculations within the local density approximations, LDA. Consideration of electron-electron Coulomb repulsion, $U$ among Co 3$d$ electrons within the LDA+$U$ method leads to a better representation of experimental results. Signature of electron correlation induced satellite feature is also observed in the Co 2$p$ core level spectrum. These results clearly demonstrate the importance of the electron correlation among conduction electrons in deriving the microscopic description of such Kondo systems.

The behavior of magnetic ordering and the KOndo effect in the alloys, Ce2Rh(1-x)Co(x)Si3: Evidence from bulk studies for Fermi-surface change during magnetic ordering - QCP transformation and applicability of SDW pictur

The results of magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity (rho), and heat capacity measurements as a function of temperature are reported for the alloys, Ce2Rh(1-x)Co(x)Si3, crystallizing in an AlB2-derived hexagonal strcture. Ce2RhSi3 exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering at 7 K. The Neel temperature decreases gradually with the increase in Co concentration. For x greater than 0.6, no magnetic ordering is observed down to 0.5 K. Interestingly, the x= 0.6 alloy exhibits signatutes of non-Fermi liquid behavior, while the Co end member is a Fermi liquid. Thus, a transformation of magnetic ordering state to non-magnetism via non-Fermiliquid state by isoelectronic chemical doping is evident in this solid solution. The electrical resistivity data for x= 0.2 and 0.3 alloys show an upturn at respective Neel temperatures, establishing the formation of a magnetism-induced pseudo-gap for these intermediate compositions alone as though there is a gradual Fermi surface transformation as the quantum critical point is approached.

Electronic structure of PrCoO_3 and its temperature evolution

We investigate the detailed electronic structure of PrCoO$_3$ and its temperature evolution using state-of-the-art photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio band structure calculations. We observe that in addition to the correlation effect, spin-orbit interaction plays an important role in determining the electronic properties of this system. Pr 4$f$ states are found to be strongly hybridized with the O 2$p$ and Co 3$d$ valence electronic states, and thus influences the electronic properties significantly. The calculated results corresponding to the intermediate spin state of Co provide a good description of the experimental spectra at 300 K. The decrease in temperature from 300 K leads to a gradual enhancement of the low spin state contributions in the electronic structure. The temperature evolution of the band gap is found to be consistent with the transport data.

Revelation of the role of impurities and conduction electron density in the high resolution photoemission study of ferromagnetic hexaborides

We investigate the temperature evolution of the electronic structure of ferromagnetic CaB$_6$ using ultra-high resolution photoemission spectroscopy; electronic structure of paramagnetic LaB$_6$ is used as a reference. High resolution spectra of CaB$_6$ reveal finite density of states at the Fermi level, $ε_F$ at all the temperatures and evidence of impurity induced localized features in the vicinity of $ε_F$, which are absent in the spectra of LaB$_6$. Analysis of the high resolution spectra suggests that disorder in B-sublattice inducing partial localization in the mobile electrons and low electron density at $ε_F$ is important to achieve ferromagnetism in these systems.
