• Abstract: Arbitrage can arise from the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to profit from a difference in its price. This work systematically reviews arbitrage opportunities between Automated Market Makers (AMMs) on Ethereum ZK rollups, and Centralised Exchanges (CEXs). First, we propose a theoretical framework to measure such arbitrage opportunities and derive a formula for the related Maximal Arbitrage Value (MAV) that accounts for both price divergences and liquidity available in the trading venues. Then, we empirically measure the historical MAV available between SyncSwap, an AMM on zkSync Era, and Binance, and investigate how quickly misalignments in price are corrected against explicit and implicit market costs. Overall, the cumulative MAV from July to September 2023 on the USDC-ETH SyncSwap pool amounts to $104.96k (0.24% of trading volume).

• Layer-2 Arbitrage: An Empirical Analysis of Swap Dynamics and Price Disparities on Rollups [6.892626226074608]
  This paper explores the dynamics of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) within the Layer-2 ecosystem. By examining the price differences between AMMs and centralized exchanges, we discover over 0.5 million unexploited arbitrage opportunities on rollups. Our results show that arbitrage in Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism pools ranges from 0.03% to 0.05% of trading volume, while in zkSync Era it oscillates around 0.25%, with the LVR metric overestimating arbitrage by a factor of five.

  We present the first empirical characterization of the costs of trading on a decentralized exchange (DEX) Using quoted prices from the Uniswap Labs interface, we evaluate the efficiency of trading on DEXs. Our results provide preliminary evidence that DEXs offer a compelling trust-less alternative to centralized exchanges for trading digital assets.

  Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility. Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions. We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction. Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.

  Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) are new types of marketplaces leveraging technology. One such DEX, Uniswap v3, allows liquidity providers to allocate funds more efficiently by specifying an active price interval for their funds. This introduces the problem of finding an optimal strategy for choosing price intervals. We formalize this problem as an online learning problem with non-stochastic rewards.

We demonstrate that MR-ISVM contributes to overcome the burden of complex adaption to jumps in higher order characteristics of option pricing models.
