Seminario di G. Giacomin a Milano-Bicocca (21.05.2014)
by Francesco Caravenna 13 May '14

13 May '14

Mercoledì 21 maggio 2014 alle ore 11:00, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Giambattista Giacomin (Université Paris Diderot) terrà un seminario dal titolo NOISE INDUCED RHYTHMIC PHENOMENA Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Sommario: Large families of noisy interacting units (cells, individuals, components in a circuit, ...) exhibiting synchronization often exhibit oscillatory behaviors too. This is a well established empirical observation that has attracted a remarkable amount of attention, notably in life sciences, because of the central role played by internally generated rhythmic behaviors. This modeling effort has produced a number of elementary models that seem to capture the essence, or at least some essential features, of this phenomenon, but the mathematical analysis turns out to be very challenging. The talk will focus on the mathematical results that can be established for a class of elementary models and this will be the mean to discuss open problems and to approach the intriguing issue of why noise appears to be a crucial ingredient. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

Firenze, 21 Maggio: Seminario su Risk Aggregation and Model Uncertainty
by mariaelvira.mancino＠unifi.it 12 May '14

12 May '14

Il 21 Maggio alle ore 10.30 presso l'aula 003 dell'edificio D4 del Polo delle Scienze Sociali in Via delle Pandette a Firenze Giovanni Puccetti - Università degli Studi di Firenze - terrà un talk su Risk Aggregation and Model Uncertainty: some messages from the methodological front Abstract: We review and discuss some of the most recent mathematical achievements in the field of Risk Aggregation and Model Uncertainty and we discuss their implications on the current Basel regulatory framework, with particular emphasis on VaR/ES risk measurement. Specific issues that will be handled: - How much superadditive can VaR be? - What are the likely constraints with moving from VaR to ES? - Which kind of dependence is implied by a worst-VaR scenario? - What are the available tools to capture the model uncertainty associated with a joint risk position? Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

avviso di seminario
by Marco Fuhrman 08 May '14

08 May '14

Il giorno martedi' 20 maggio 2014, alle ore 12:00, il professor Jean Jacod Universite' Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris terra' un seminario dal titolo Is a discretely observed semimartingale of Ito type? presso il Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano (aula seminari "Fausto Saleri", sesto piano). Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati. Marco Fuhrman Abstract. In high-frequency statistics, and among various hypotheses, the fact that the underlying observed process is an Ito semimartingale is always assumed. However, for financial data for example, prices should be semimartingales (because of the "fundamental asset pricing theorem"), but there is no reason why it should be an Ito semimartingale. So it is important to derive tests for checking whether this assumption is enforced, or not. The problem cannot be solved in full generality, but we will see that under some restrictive structural assumptions, plus the fact that the process is continuous, some tests can be constructed. This is joint work with Yacine Ait-Sahalia.
