A quantum statistical approach to simplified stock markets
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 portfolio of a certain trader to a different one. This computation can also be carried out using some kind of Feynman graphs adapted to the present context.
