Specifying time-dependent correlation matrices is a problem that occurs in several important areas of finance and risk management. The goal of this work is to tackle this problem by applying techniques of geometric integration in financial mathematics, i.e., to combine two fields of numerical mathematics that have not been studied yet jointly. Based on isospectral flows we create valid time-dependent correlation matrices, so called correlation flows, by solving a stochastic differential equation (SDE) that evolves in the special orthogonal group. Since the geometric structure of the special orthogonal group needs to be preserved we use stochastic Lie group integrators to solve this SDE. An application example is presented to illustrate this novel methodology.

In many areas of finance and of risk management it is interesting to know how to specify time-dependent correlation matrices. In this work we propose a new methodology to create valid time-dependent instantaneous correlation matrices, which we called correlation flows. In our methodology one needs only an initial correlation matrix to create these correlation flows based on isospectral flows. The tendency of the time-dependent matrices can be controlled by requirements. An application example is presented to illustrate our methodology.

Learning on differential manifolds may involve the optimization of a function of many parameters. In this letter, we deal with Riemannian-gradient-based optimization on a Lie group, namely, the group of unitary unimodular matrices SU(3). In this special case, subalgebras of the associated Lie algebra su(3) may be individuated by computing pair-wise Gell-Mann matrices commutators. Subalgebras generate subgroups of a Lie group, as well as manifold foliation. We show that the Riemannian gradient may be projected over tangent structures to foliation, giving rise to foliation gradients. Exponentiations of foliation gradients may be computed in closed forms, which closely resemble Rodriguez forms for the special orthogonal group SO(3). We thus compare optimization by Riemannian gradient and foliation gradients.
