But seriously:
Candidate A and B will face off. There is a guaranteed winner. The market maker takes a five percent cut. For initial simplicity, 1 dollar will be bet by market participants. The market maker's equations are really simple.

P(A) + P(B) = 1 (the probability of A plus the probability of B is the total market funding)

The market maker knows he needs a 5% cut, so the payout is .95 to the correct predictors. Easy! 5% is nothing, right? We can ignore it and do. Who cares if markets are slightly off? They always are.

But what about taxes? The predictor's profits are taxed at 25% (let's pretend taxes are lower).

The market does not add up now. The market exists, but it seems irrational. The people betting on A and the people betting on B have to have radically different views on the election (information sets).

These markets exist now and are filled with relatively smart traders. These markets continuously fund agreements where expected value is not agreed upon, where the traders of each outcome possibility have to have radically different information sets.

Now consider a different type of prediction market: https://steemit.com/sports/@roosterred/a-new-type-of-prediction-market-roosterred-s-prediction-is-payoff-pip-markets

This problem, let's call it Outcome Payout Disequilibrium, is easier to study in these types of prediction markets.

Any market with persistent and severe Outcome Payout Disequilibrium does not fit any version of the efficient market hypothesis.

Because...

Consider a Yes/No PIP market on a stock's price--will the stock's price be higher tomorrow or not?--and the stock's price itself. Arbitrage is quickly eaten up. But if there is severe and persistent Outcome Payout Disequilibrium in the Yes/No PIP market, then we know the stock's price is being determine by discordant information sets.

Regardless, the right way to go about things is to troll, because if you just email professors and professionals about your ideas, they will fucking steal them!

Yes, well, how many IMO champs actually achieve something with their careers?

Worth is measured with achievements. Normal mathematicians are just cannon fodder.

The only important part in this analogy is a matter of skill and its overall importance and impact, I don't want to imply we're being actually commanded or something (though it could be argued, since the great minds usually pave the way for many future endeavors).

You are polluting the purity of our glorious Fields Medal. Fuck off. But...

Whatever gets to you to formal "Put Call Parity" using stochastic differential equations. This will take years and almost surely isn't worth it. You don't need TEH CALCULUS to do enough valuation exercises for a CFA. Fabozzi doesn't need it. If you don't know what the CFA is then Google it. The FRM is equally non-/sci/ but you might have to consider Naive Probability Theory (as in no Measure Theory rather than an assessment of your intelligence).

Lots of Indian and Chinese engineers through elite domestic undergraduate programs and then cheat their way through Masters degrees in the West to start work. If they go past the Hull texts then it's only to cheat on the Shreve texts whose answers are online as an over 9000 page pdf file.

Unless you are working in high frequency trading or wide-ranging arbitrage strategies, Big Finance stopped applying novel math around 2000-2005. Regulators don't want to see it, veteran employees can't understand it, you need a new programming library/language to implement it, and the new results confuse non-technical decision makers who now have to read N+1 sets of simultaneous output.

It, of course, is a broad statement but doing Comp Sci is probably better for Wall Street. Low latency C++ makes you attractive for trading. ML classification makes you a Change Point Detection god. NLP lets you chase trends. If you can implement penalized optimization with a compiler you will get paid. If you can prove things about matrices or stochastic processes very nicely in Latex you will get laughed at.

The professor he was under said when Peter said he read that, it basically means he absorbed the entire content flawless. Some people like him read through stem books like romans and understand ideas like second nature.

Why do they give me the first term of the series, and what does it even mean that the roots are part of an arithmetic series?
I did some bullshit and I think that [math]\mid m - n \mid[/math] must be less than one, is that correct?

as you must know, that polynomial has at most 4 (real) roots. The question says that there exists some arithmetic series 1/4, 1/4 + d, 1/4 + 2d, 1/4 + 3d, ..., and the roots all belong to this series, that is, you can find 4 numbers in this series that are also the roots of the polynomial

At least, that's what i got with how you worded the question. Perhaps you translated it wrong and the roots are just the first four terms i wrote earlier, but yeah

This. I don't understand why there's such a prominent meme of determinants being impossible to understand as a concept.
Their development follows as nice a structure as you could possibly ask for (start with natural, intuitive geometric property, work it out algebraically and then generalize away the geometry) and doing computations with them is so straightforward they teach it to high school students.

Sorry for no latex.

The roots are of the form 1+-sqrt(4-4u)/2 where u = m or n. For the discriminant to stay positive and for there to be four real roots, u must be less than 1. Since both m n are less than one, their subtraction's absolute value must also be less than one, so you're correct on that one.

The arithmetic series is ak = a1 + d(k-1), where ak is assumed to be the root solution, a1 is the first term, d is the constant difference between each ak and k is the number of terms, running from 1 to 4. One solution for ak, when k = 1 is 1/4 because k-1=0. You can then solve for u when 1/4 = 1-sqrt(4-4u)/2 and I'm sure you can figure the rest of the chain. I will try solving it later after sleep.

>> No.9914381

>>9914305
Giving you the first term helps a lot because you know that one of the factors is zero at 1/4. If you assume it's a root of the first factor you can solve for m=7/16 and then figure out that 7/4 is also a root.

At this point there are two obvious guesses you could make. Hopefully you'd guess the other roots are 3/4,5/4 first, and that tells you n is 15/16.

By assumption, the polynomial has 4 real roots so we can factor it over [math]\mathbb R[/math]. We can write each root as [math]\frac14 + k_i d[/math] where [math]d[/math] is the difference of each term in the arithmetic series, and [math]k_i[/math] are four natural numbers for [math]i=1,2,3,4[/math]. Then [eqn]0=(x^2 - 2x + m)(x^2 -2x + n) = (x-\frac14-k_1d)(x-\frac14-k_2d)(x-\frac14-k_3d)(x-\frac14-k_4d)[/eqn]
Expanding two distinct pair of brackets, we get, say:
[eqn]0=(x^2 - 2x + m)(x^2 -2x + n) = \left(x^2-x\left(\frac12+dk_1+dk_2\right)+\frac1{16}+\frac14d\left(k_1+k_2\right)+k_1k_2d^2\right)\left(x^2-x\left(\frac12+dk_3+dk_4\right)+\frac1{16}+\frac14d\left(k_3+k_4\right)+k_3k_4d^2\right)[/eqn]
Equating coefficients, we get
[eqn]\frac32 = d(k_1+k_2)=d(k_3+k_4)\implies k_1+k_2=k_3+k_4[/eqn]
and [eqn]m=\frac1{16}+\frac14d(k_1+k_2)+k_1k_2d^2[/eqn]
and similarly for n.
Taking [math]|m-n|[/math] we get
[eqn]|m-n|=\left|\frac d4(k_1+k_2-k_3-k_4)+(k_1k_2-k_3k_4)d^2\right|=\left|(k_1k_2-k_3k_4)d^2\right|[/eqn]

Apart from that maybe you can get some extra relations by expanding the full polynomial and maybe using the fact that (m-n)(m+n)=(m+n)^2-2mn but i cba

Can anyone answer the second part of the question? If [math]\alpha[/math] is an infinite extension, the clearly it is an isomorphism [math]k(\alpha)\cong k(t)[/math] sending [math]\alpha[/math] to [math]t[/math]. So I have to assume that the extension is then finite to find some counterexample, but any element of [math]k(\alpha)[/math] is a rational expression with the top and bottom of the fraction being linear combinations of powers of [math]\alpha[/math]... how is it not going to be an onto function? ??

Maybe there is a typo and the question meant to have the arrow the other way around? Or they meant to say not injective?

I worked through the whole book in a little over 5 months (so about 1 chapter a month).

Honestly, I don't get what's so bizarre about being open minded about the limits of other people's capacity to learn. I can totally believe that Scholze worked through the whole book in just 2 weeks.
