Modelación de la dinámica del mercado cambiario a través del sistema electrodinámico de Maxwell
Analizamos la dinámica del mercado de divisas (FOREX) dentro del marco de la teoría gauge, proporcionando un punto de vista interdisciplinario que tiende puentes entre la física, las matemáticas y la economía. Modelamos las transacciones reales de cambio de euro-dólar-peso mexicano durante el período de enero a junio de 2023 mediante un sistema electrodinámico unidimensional derivado de las ecuaciones de Maxwell. Los hallazgos de este estudio revelan que es posible describir características fuera de equilibrio y condiciones de arbitraje consistentes con la dinámica del FOREX. Un resultado natural apunta a la extensión del modelo para incluir más divisas y fluctuaciones en tiempo real, a fin de obtener una descripción más amplia del mercado. El marco desarrollado aquí proporciona una perspectiva estructural para entender fenómenos financieros complejos a partir de argumentos de física teórica. Una característica original del presente estudio es traducir los principios de la electrodinámica al análisis financiero y, por lo tanto, ofrece una base sólida para explorar
