HSE Scholar Presents Research on Postcards in Brazil and South Korea
Timur Khusyainov, Deputy Dean of theFaculty of Humanities atHSE University–Nizhny Novgorod, took part in two international conferences—the XVI World Congress of Rural Sociology in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and the 36th Annual Conference of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (DH2026) in Daejeon, South Korea. On his way to the conferences, the researcher also visited several other places, where he presented the experience of the Pochtovoe educational project.

Physicists Discover What Happens Inside a Stable Vortex
Large vortices with characteristic spiral arms are often observed in the atmosphere and the ocean. Physicists from HSE University have explained how these structures form and why they retain their shape. The researchers found that velocities at points located along the same vortex arc remain correlated even over long distances. At the same time, this correlation weakens rapidly with increasing distance from the vortex centre. These differences help explain the formation of spiral arms and may improve models of atmospheric and oceanic currents. The findings have been published in Physical Review Fluids.

Comparing SSD-Efficient Portfolios with a Skewed Reference Distribution

Mathematics. 2023. Vol. 11. No. 1. Article 50.
Cesarone F., Cesetti R., Orlando G., Martino M. L., Ricci J. M.

Portfolio selection models based on second-order stochastic dominance (SSD) have the advantage of providing portfolios that reflect the behavior of risk-averse investors without the need to specify the utility function. Several scholars apply SSD conditions with respect to a reference distribution, typically that of the market index, to find its dominant SSD portfolio. However, since the reference distribution could strongly influence asset allocation, in this article, we compare two SSD-based portfolio selection strategies with a reshaping of the reference distribution in terms of its skewness and, consequently, its variance. Through an extensive empirical analysis based on multiasset investment universes, we empirically show that the SSD portfolios dominating the new skewed benchmark index generally perform better.

Which Model Families Pay? Econometric, Gradient Boosting and Recurrent Neural Network Volatility Forecasts in Active Trading Strategies on the Russian Stock Market
Lysenok N., International Journal of Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management Applications 2026 Vol. 18 No. 17s P. 533–549
This paper asks which families of volatility forecasting models create economic value in active trading, and through which integration channel that value is transmitted. Seven models drawn from four families — econometric (GJR-GARCH, HAR-J), gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM), recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU) and a hybrid combining HAR-J with boosting — are compared on the ...

A Pell–Abel equation is a functional equation of the form P^2-DQ^2=1 , with a given polynomial D free of squares and unknown polynomials P and Q. We show that the space of Pell–Abel equations with the degrees of D and of the primitive solution P fixed is a complex manifold. We describe its connected components ...

Generative geospatial modelling with geometric algebra
Yu Z., Wang J., Wang Z. et al., Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences 2026 Vol. 384 P. 1–16
The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

This paper examines total factor productivity (TFP) dynamics among Russian enterprises from 2018 to 2024, using translogarithmic production function estimates for 290 industries. To address endogeneity and functional dependence issues, we employ the Ackerberg—Caves—Frazer methodology with a control function approach. Our findings reveal distinct sectoral patterns. In mining, both simple average and value-added-weighted TFP rose ...

We show that, in terms of closure ordinals, many infinitary calculi for ‘first-order’ logics of probability (i.e., for languages similar to those in [Abadi & Halpern 1994]) are as hard as possible: the corresponding closure ordinals coincide with the least non-constructive ordinal, denoted by $\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}$. ...

Data-Efficient Unsupervised Recalibration of Calorimeter Sensor Arrays Using Wasserstein Adversarial Learning
Ali S., Bocharnikov V., Ratnikov F. et al., Sensors 2026 Vol. 26 No. 16 Article 5024
Large distributed sensor arrays require repeated recalibration as radiation damage, material aging, gain variation, and readout drift alter channel responses. We studied a high-granularity calorimeter as a large sensor array and addressed unsupervised recalibration from two unpaired datasets: a nominal reference response and an aged response with attenuated cell-wise signals. Aging was modeled by a ...

The cryptocurrency market has been considered until recently a market for private, non-portfolio investors, and the research focus has been on volatility. However, gradual institutionalization and creation of ETFs have highlighted new characteristics, including the asymmetry of trade behavior. Our research aims to analyze the relationships between asymmetric risk indicators and the returns of portfolios ...

The effect of induced flow on the water wave skewness
Slunyaev A., Kokorina A., Physics of Fluids 2025 Vol. 37 No. 8 Article 087192
Nonlinear wave-induced perturbations are discussed within the framework of the second-order theory. Due to the slow attenuation of the long perturbations with depth, they modulate motions beneath surface waves down to the bottom and can strongly affect the wave statistics. The disturbance which corresponds to the second harmonic, at a sufficient depth, inverses the phase, thereby ...

Uncertainty of Efficient Frontier in Portfolio Optimization

Portfolio optimization is a large area of investigation both in theoretical and practical setting since the seminal work by Markowitz where a mean-variance model was introduced. From optimization point of view, the problem of optimal portfolio in mean-variance setting can be formulated as convex quadratic optimization under uncertainty. In practice one needs to estimate parameters ...

Impact of error in parameter estimations on large scale portfolio optimization

Mathematical programming is often concerned with determining the optimum of some real-world objective. One of the main questions in this field is the way of addressing uncertainty. Whereas deterministic optimization models are formulated with known parameters, real life issues almost invariably include uncertain parameters which are unknown at the time when a decision should be ...

This paper, following (Ghalanos, 2012), uses the simple method of embedding skewness in asset allocation based on the Taylor expansion of the investor utility function up to the third term and maximizing it by portfolio weights. This approach also enables us to consider investor risk aversion. Time-dependent multivariate asset moments are obtained via the GO-GARCH ...
