We have a bit of a scheduling conflict here -- a meeting on econophysics from Thursday until Saturday, and another meeting on dark energy and dark matter on Friday-Saturday at Tsing Hua University. I'm already committed to speak at the latter on Saturday.
Which talks sound more appealing to you? :-)
The Market Impact of Boundedly Rational Traders, Relationship between bid-ask spreads and fluctuations in market prices, How do skilled traders change the structure of the market? Optimal Diffusion in Evolutionary Designed Networks
Updated Dark Matter Search with Sub-keV Germanium Detector, SUSY Dark Matter in Light of CDMS-II/XENON Limits, Determining the Dark Energy Equation of State from Gravitational-Wave Observations of Binary Inspirals, Thermodynamics in Modified Gravity Theories
(Plenty more talks, some with slides or the actual papers, at the links above.)
"Econophysics" is a bad name. "The theory of speculation" is better. Whatever it's called it's another example of theoretical/mathematical science as mental masturbation.
ReplyDeleteSo I should attend the cosmo talks? :-)
ReplyDeleteMost of the cosmo stuff sounds so clean [except for the Thermodynaimics ...]. So, I vote for the econophysics [but I'd be interested to read the slides from the cosmo talks].
