A SPRING DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS
by Francesca Romana Nardi 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Carissimi, stiamo cercando di organizzare in Italia, sulla falsariga del M. Kac Seminar in Olanda, una serie di incontri di probabilita` e delle sue applicazioni alla Fisica, Biologia e Scienze sociali, per stimolare lo scambio di idee e offrire ai piu` giovani l'opportunita` di venire a contatto con un ampio panorama di temi di ricerca. E` con grande gioia che vi comunico che il primo di questi eventi si terra` venerdì 26 Maggio 2017 a Firenze, in un'aula universitaria vicino alla stazione di S. Maria Novella. Sara` un'occasione per goderci una giornata scientifica insieme e per esplorare le possibilita` e le modalita` piu` opportune per ripetere questo tipo di incontri. Di seguito trovate i dettagli della giornata del 26 Maggio, che vedra` come oratori R. Fernandez (University of Utrecht, Olanda) e R. Morris (IMPA Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). A SPRING DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS University of Florence Friday 26 May 2017 Lecturers: R. Fernandez (Utrecht) and R. Morris (IMPA). Location: Aula Magna di Via S. Gallo 10, Firenze Prof. Roberto Fernandez Title: Signal description: process or Gibbs? Abstract: The distribution of signals such as spike trains is naturally modeled through stochastic processes where the probability of future states depend on the pattern of past spikes. Mathematically, this corresponds to distributions *conditioned on the past*. From a signal-theoretic point of view, however, one could wonder whether a more efficient description could be obtained through the simultaneous conditioning of past *and* future. Furthermore, such a formalism could be appropriate when discussing string without a particular "time" order, such as the distribution of DNA nucleotides, or even issues related to anticipation and prediction in neuroscience. On the mathematical level this double conditioning would correspond to a Gibbsian description analogous to the one adopted in statistical mechanics. In this talk I will introduce and contrast both approaches ---process and Gibbsian based--- reviewing existing results on scope and limitations of them. Prof. Robert Morris Title: Monotone cellular automata Abstract: Cellular automata are interacting particle systems whose update rules are local and homogeneous. Since their introduction by von Neumann almost 50 years ago, many particular such systems have been investigated, but no general theory has been developed for their study, and for many simple examples surprisingly little is known. Understanding their (typical) global behaviour is an important and challenging problem in statistical physics, probability theory and combinatorics. In this talk I will outline some recent progress in understanding the behaviour of a particular (large) family of monotone cellular automata -- those which can naturally be embedded in d-dimensional space -- with random initial conditions. For example, in the case where a site updates (from inactive to active) if at least r of its neighbours are already active, these models are known as bootstrap percolation, and have been extensively studied for various specific underlying graphs. Apart from their inherent mathematical interest, the study of these processes is motivated by their close connection to models in statistical physics, and I will discuss some applications to a family of models of the liquid-glass transition known as kinetically constrained spin models. Program: 11.00-11.45 Introductory lecture: R. Fernandez 11.45-12.00 Break 12.00-12.45 Seminar: R. Fernandez 13.00-14.30 Lunch 14.30-15.15 Introductory lecture: R.

Seminario BERESTYCKI
by Matteo Ruggiero 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 6 Ottobre 2017, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terra' il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Julien BERESTYCKI (University of Oxford) BRANCHING BROWNIAN MOTION WITH ABSORPTION What does the genealogy of a population under selection look like? This question is crucial for ecology and evolutionary biology and yet it is not fully understood. Recently, Brunet and Derrida have conjectured that for a whole class of models of such populations, we can expect the genealogy to be described by a universal scaling limit: the Bollthausen-Sznitman coalescent. The purpose of this talk is to present several recent results which put this prediction on a rigorous footing. The model we chose is that of a one-dimensional branching Brownian motion in which particles are absorbed at the origin. A particle's position is interpreted as the fitness of an individual and the killing at zero correspond to the removal from the population of individuals whose fitness is too low. We assume that when a particle branches, the offspring distribution is supercritical, but the particles are given a drift μ towards the origin. Depending on the value of μ the process can be (sub/super)-critical. I will particularly focus on the critical case, for which I will present results concerning the extinction time and Yaglom-type limits for the behavior of the process conditioned to survive for an unusually long time, which both improve upon results of Kesten (1978). An important tool in the proofs of these results is the convergence of branching Brownian motion with absorption to a continuous state branching process. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Seminario di Probabilità - Padova - Rettifica orario
by Paolo Dai Pra 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

A causa di un mio errore il seguente seminario era stato annunciato ad un orario errato, quello corretto è 10:30. Ecco l’annuncio corretto: Ho il piacere di invitarvi al seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì 26 Settembre, alle 10:30, in aula 2AB45 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Padova. SPEAKER: Paolo Pigato AFFILIATION: WIAS, Berlino TITLE: The Oscillating Brownian motion: estimation and application to volatility modeling ABSTRACT: We consider a continuous time stochastic process which exhibits a regime-switch in the dynamics accordingly to a certain threshold. This process is solution to a stochastic differential equation with piecewise constant coefficients. We introduce and analyze estimators for the diffusion coefficient, the drift coefficient, and the threshold level. We use this process as a local volatility model for financial indices, that we test on time series of daily prices of several assets, finding evidence of leverage effect (negative correlation between prices and volatilies) and of mean-reversion effects in the dynamics of the prices.

Seminar announcement of the probability seminar at the University of Pisa DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, september 26, 09:15h - 11:00h LOCATION: Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Pisa SPEAKER: Nicolas Perkowski TITLE: A weak universality result for the parabolic Anderson model ABSTRACT: We consider a class of nonlinear population models on a two-dimensional lattice which are influenced by a small random potential, and we show that on large temporal and spatial scales the population density is well described by the continuous parabolic Anderson model, a linear but singular stochastic PDE. The proof is based on a discrete formulation of paracontrolled distributions on unbounded lattices which is of independent interest because it can be applied to prove the convergence of a wide range of lattice models. This is joint work with Jörg Martin. Everyone is invited to participate. For more information, please contact carina.geldhauser(a)dm.unipi.it

Albeverio, P. Sundar, appeared on Journal Stat. Physics, January 2017 (No1)) The existence of a weak solution to a McKean-Vlasov type stochastic differential system corresponding to the Enskog equation of the kinetic theory of gases is established under suitable hypotheses. The distribution of any solution to the system at each fixed time is shown to be unique. The existence of a probability density for the time-marginals of the velocity is verified in the case where the initial condition is Gaussian, and is shown to be the density of an invariant measure. *Contact person: *Stefano Bonaccorsi *Staff Dipartimento di Matematica* *Università degli Studi Trento*Via Sommarive, 14 38123 Povo (TN) Tel +39 0461/281625-1701-3786

Seminar at Luiss - Marcel Nutz
by Sara 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Dear all, On Tuesday 26, at 2pm in room 106 - Luiss viale Romania 32, Roma, prof Nutz will give the following seminar: Supply and Shorting in Speculative Markets Abstract: We propose a continuous-time model of trading among risk-neutral agents with heterogeneous beliefs. Agents face quadratic costs-of-carry on their positions and as a consequence, their marginal valuation of the asset decreases when the magnitude of their position increases, as it would be the case for risk-averse agents. In the equilibrium models of investors with heterogeneous beliefs that followed the original work by Harrison and Kreps, investors are risk-neutral, short-selling is prohibited and agents face a constant marginal cost of carrying positions. The resulting resale option guarantees that the equilibrium price exceeds the price of the asset in a static buy-and-hold model where speculation is ruled out. Our model features three main novelties. First, increasing marginal costs entail that the price depends on the exogenous supply. Second, in addition to the resale option, agents may also value an option to delay, and this may cause the market to equilibrate below the static buy-and-hold price. Third, we introduce the possibility of short-selling; then the resale option for agents with short positions partly compensates the resale option for long agents. (Joint work with Jose Scheinkman) Best, Sara -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/
