  • 适用于金融风险监控、量化交易与复杂系统研究。

羊群效应——即代理人行为趋同并集体行动——是市场脆弱性和系统性风险的核心驱动因素。现有量化方法依赖价格相关性统计,存在观测滞后,只能在实际收益变动后才检测到协同行为。本文提出GeomHerd,一种基于里奇流几何的前瞻性框架,通过直接分析上游代理交互图来规避这一延迟。我们使用异构大语言模型驱动的多智能体模拟器(每个金融交易员由角色条件化的LLM实例化)构建可预测世界,并以Cividino–Sornette连续自旋代理模型作为主要测试平台。通过追踪动作图的离散Ollivier–Ricci曲率,GeomHerd捕获了新兴协同结构的拓扑特征。理论上,我们建立了图论指标与经典宏观羊群指数CSAD之间的均场桥接关系,使该方法能链接至下游价格离散度测量。实证上,GeomHerd在连续自旋模型中提前272步预警羊群行为;传染性检测器(β₋)提前318步召回65%的关键轨迹;在共激活路径中,代理图信号比价格相关图基线早40步显现。此外,危机期间代理行为的有效词汇量收缩。几何信号可跨域迁移至Vicsek自驱动粒子模型,且曲率条件预测头在级联窗口对数回报的MAE优于检测器条件和仅价格基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Herding -- where agents align their behaviors and act collectively -- is a central driver of market fragility and systemic risk. Existing approaches to quantify herding rely on price-correlation statistics, which inherently lag because they only detect coordination after it has already moved realised returns. We propose GeomHerd, a forward-looking geometric framework that bypasses this observability lag by quantifying coordination directly on upstream agent-interaction graphs. To generate these graphs, we treat a heterogeneous LLM-driven multi-agent simulator -- each financial trader instantiated by a persona-conditioned LLM call -- as a forecastable world, and evaluate the geometric pipeline on the Cividino--Sornette continuous-spin agent-based substrate as our headline financial testbed. By tracking the discrete Ollivier--Ricci curvature of these action graphs, GeomHerd captures the structural topology of emerging coordination. Theoretically, we establish a mean-field bridge mapping our graph-theoretic metric to CSAD, the classical macroscopic herding statistic, linking GeomHerd to downstream price-dispersion measurement. Empirically, GeomHerd anticipates herding long before aggregate market baselines: on the continuous-spin substrate, our primary detector fires a median of 272 steps before order-parameter onset; a contagion detector ($β_{-}$) recalls 65% of critical trajectories 318 steps early; and on co-firing trajectories the agent-graph signal precedes price-correlation-graph baselines by 40 steps. As a complementary indicator, the effective vocabulary of agent actions contracts during cascades. The geometric signature transfers out-of-domain to the Vicsek self-driven-particle model, and a curvature-conditioned forecasting head reduces cascade-window log-return MAE over detector-conditioned and price-only baselines.
