Invariance properties of maximal extractable value
We develop a formalism for reasoning about trading on decentralized exchanges on blockchains and a formulation of a particular form of maximal extractable value (MEV) that represents the total arbitrage opportunity extractable from on-chain liquidity. We use this formalism to prove that for blockchains with deterministic block times whose liquidity pools satisfy some natural properties that are satisfied by pools in practice, this form of MEV is invariant under changes to the ordering mechanism of the blockchain and distribution of block times. We do this by characterizing the MEV as the profit of a particularly simple arbitrage strategy when left uncontested. These results can inform design of blockchain protocols by ruling out designs aiming to increase trading opportunity by changing the ordering mechanism or shortening block times.

Quantifying MEV On Layer 2 Networks
This paper addresses the lack of research on quantifying Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) on Ethereum Layer 2 networks (L2s). Our findings reveal a substantial amount of MEV to be extracted on L2s, particularly on Polygon…
Decision MakingSpectral invariance and maximality properties of the frequency spectrum of quantum neural networks
Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) are a popular approach in Quantum Machine Learning. We analyze this frequency spectrum using the Minkowski sum for sets and the set of differences, which makes it particularly easy to expre…
Quantum Machine LearningMultiblock MEV opportunities & protections in dynamic AMMs
Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) in Constant Function Market Making is fairly well understood. Does having dynamic weights, as found in liquidity boostrap pools (LBPs), Temporal-function market makers (TFMMs), and Replica…
Blockchains, MEV and the knapsack problem: a primer
In this paper, we take a close look at a problem labeled maximal extractable value (MEV), which arises in a blockchain due to the ability of a block producer to manipulate the order of transactions within a block. Indeed…
Symmetry reduction and exact solutions of the non-linear Black--Scholes equation
In this paper, we investigate the non-linear Black--Scholes equation: $$u_t+ax^2u_{xx}+bx^3u_{xx}^2+c(xu_x-u)=0,\quad a,b>0,\ c\geq0.$$ and show that the one can be reduced to the equation $$u_t+(u_{xx}+u_x)^2=0$$ by an …
