Ciclo Seminari Probabilita` e Statistica - PASCAL - 4 marzo 2015
by Valentina Cammarota 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Mercoledì 4 Marzo - ore 15.00 Aula D'Antoni 1101 Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Speaker: Claudio Durastanti - Università di Tor Vergata Title: Spherical wavelets: an overview and some applications. Abstract: Our aim is to describe the construction of wavelets over the q-dimensional sphere featuring strong concentration properties in the spatial domain, introduced in literature as needlets by Narcowich, Petrushev, Ward (2006 a,b). We will also discuss some of their statistical applications: the study of quantitative central limit theorems for some linear and nonlinear statistics built from wavelet coefficients evaluated on spherical Poisson processes of arbitrary dimension. This purpose is attained by merging the Stein-Malliavin approach (introduced in the seminal paper by Peccati, Sanz-Solè, Taqqu and Utzet (2011)) and the properties of the needlets. We will also discuss some examples: the thresholding and the study of variance in nonparametric density estimation framework and the so-called Sobolev tests for uniformity. This is a joint work with Solesne Bourguin, Domenico Marinucci and Giovanni Peccati. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

25 Feb '15

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:58:43 +0000 From: Angelica Gianfreda <agianfreda(a)london.edu> Subject: post-doc fellowship in Cork *************************************************************************** ***************************************** Looking to hire a (Post-Doc) Research Fellow with research experience and ideally knows about climate change. One of the conditions of the funding is that the Fellow is based in Cork. The position is for 18 months with an annual salary of Euro 51,760. Project Overview The goal of the project is to identify and critique international best practice on the use of financial incentives to attract capital to targeted sectors. Specifically, a proposal for a funding instrument to attract capital to the resource efficient economy in Ireland will be developed. This will incorporate international best practice on financial incentives for financing the transition to the resource efficient economy as well as examining the effectiveness of existing financial incentives. The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS and formerly the Business Expansion Scheme (BES)) have been successful in attracting funding for the development of wind farms in Ireland IWEA /Deloitte (2009). The success of the EIS/BES scheme in pricing these harmful externalities can equally be applied to other resource efficient sectors where investment might not otherwise be forthcoming. Also the proposed funding instrument will be socially-inclusive as it will be fiscally-incentivised and targeted at ordinary individuals so that investment is ?citizen led? rather than ?developer led?. Job Description College Business and Law School/Research Centre Department of Accounting, Finance and Information Systems Post Title Research Fellow Project Title Financial Incentives to Promote a Resource Efficient Irish Economy Name of Principal Investigator Dr. Celine McInerney Position Summary A position is available for a Research Fellow to work in the Department of Accounting, Finance and Information Systems at University College Cork. The successful applicant will manage a project under the direction of the Principal Investigator to design a socially-inclusive financial instrument to attract investment capital to resource efficient assets. The project is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency. The Research Fellow will be responsible for: ? Researching and preparing a synthesis report on the use of financial incentives to attract capital in targeted sectors with a view to making a recommendation on the type of proposal that could be most effective within the context of Irish financial and taxation systems. ?

(5) Examine shortcomings of UK Solar support scheme vis-?-vis value for money for tax payers. ? Examine the effectiveness of crowdfunding in attracting capital for resource efficient asset investments. ? Examine and measure the effectiveness of existing Irish financial incentives in the resource efficient economy, including but not limited to the Business Expansion Scheme, Employment Incentive and Investment Scheme, various building retrofitting initiatives. ? Develop a database of resource efficient projects which have received support under various policy initiatives in consultation with various stakeholders / policy makers. ? Present a proposal for socially inclusive financial investment which may be a specific tax-based investment framework for individuals using evidence-based international best practice. ? The role will involve meeting and engaging with various stakeholders as well as meeting and reporting to a Steering group and EPA committee. ? Engage in dissemination activities in relation to socially inclusive tax-based investment incentives in the resource efficient economy. ? The post is a fixed term contract and will involve some travel to meetings and conferences. Expected Skill Set ? A PhD qualification and significant relevant research experiences. ?

2 Seminari a Pavia: Jorge Bolanos e Tomasz Tylec
by Carbone Raffaella 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Cari colleghi, vi annuncio che mercoledì 4 marzo, alle ore 14 precise, nell'aula Beltrami del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' di Pavia, vi saranno due seminari (entrambi nell'ambito del progetto FIRB 2010 "*Quantum Markov Semigroups and their empirical estimation*"), tenuti da Jorge Bolanos-Servin e Tomasz Tylec Seguono titoli e sunti. Distinti saluti, Raffaella Carbone ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Primo Seminario, ore 14:00 precise: Jorge Bolanos-Servin (Università UAM, Città del Messico) "Some spectral properties of Circulant Quantum Markov Semigroups" Abstract. Many symetries of $\mathbb Z_p$ are inherited by Circulant matrices , therefore widely used in many areas of mathematics. The class of Circulant QMS although described in a simple way provide examples to better understand more general ideas. In this talk i will review the relationship between the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a Circulant matrix and a Circulant QMS GKSL generator. This will lead to prove that the spectral gap is strictly positive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secondo Seminario, ore 15 precise: Tomasz Tylec (Istituto di Fisica Teorica, Varsavia) "Generalised probability, quantum logics and non-signalling theories" Abstract: Since 1990s some physicist working on quantum information theory become interested in the so-called no-signalling theories. These are very intuitive, in some sense minimal, models of compound systems. It seemed that such theories are more general than quantum mechanics. Unfortunately, they suffer from the lack of precise mathematical framework within its properties can be rigorously studied. Our aim was to find such framework and study the basic properties of most widely discussed example of non-signalling system. The most natural choice led us to the so called quantum logics. The idea stems from the works of Birkhoff and von Neumann and after many years of development it evolved into sophisticated theory of partially ordered sets. What is important such structures can be interpreted as models of a generalised probability. This allows rigorous review of previously obtained results about non-signalling theories. -- Raffaella Carbone, PhD Ricercatore di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
