Om Arora

I work at the intersection of theoretical physics, mathematics, and quantitative finance. I am currently in high school.

The common thread in between is similar structures — the kind that underlies gauge fields, limit order books, and formal proof alike. Fields change. That patience does not.

Outside the work: Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Bach and Shostakovich, the history of empires, and the satisfaction of an elegant proof.

Work

Gauge-Invariant Mass Generation An extension of Yang–Mills theory via a group-valued Stueckelberg field. Full BRST quantisation, one-loop renormalisation in the MS scheme, and a first-principles approach to the mass gap. Asymptotic freedom is preserved throughout.

Defence Protocol Translation Middleware MIL-STD-1553B and STANAG 4586 do not speak to each other. Neither do the Tejas Mk.1A and the Rustom-2. I am building the translation layer — open, software-defined, and protocol-agnostic. The architecture reduces N×(N−1) point-to-point complexity to 2N. No dependency on Western proprietary hardware.

AI for Mathematics Olympiad The goal is formal proof generation — verified, symbolic reasoning at IMO level.

Quantitative Research Stochastic calculus applied to limit order book dynamics. Persistent homology as a lens on market microstructure. The constraint I hold: strategies must be mathematically rigorous before they are applied, even if they turn out to be successful.
