Carissimi, Siamo felici di annunciarvi la ottava giornata di seminari: A ``LATE-SUMMER'' DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS University of Florence Friday 27 September 2019 Lecturers: Pierre Picco (Marseille) and Rui Pires da Silva Castro (Eindhoven) Location: Aula Tricerri Viale Morgagni 67, Firenze Informazioni su come arrivare alla pagina: https://www.dimai.unifi.it/vp-285-come-arrivare-how-to-get.html Note pratiche: Stiamo prenotando un catering con cibi vegerariani e non, percio` abbiamo bisogno del numero di persone che vogliono mangiare insieme. A coloro che fossero interessati (per una migliore organizzazione) chiedo di mandare un email a francescaromana.nardi(a)unifi.it <mailto:francescaromana.nardi@unifi.it> ; gianmarco.bet(a)unifi.it <mailto:gianmarco.bet@unifi.it> ; angela.caporicci(a)unifi.it <mailto:angela.caporicci@unifi.it> , con l'intenzione di partecipare al seminario, al coffe break e al pranzo. PROGRAMMA Prof. Pierre Picco (CNRS Marseille) Title: One-dimentional Ising model with long range interactions. A review of results Abstract: Introductory lecture In the first talk I will make an quick historical survey of the rigorous results on the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions. A first part will be dedicated to uniqueness of the Gibbs states (Ruelle (1968); Dobrushin (1968); Bricmont, Lebowitz & Pfister (1986)) and the regularity of the free energy when the decay of the potential is fast enough (Dobrushin (1973) Cassandro & Olivieri (1981) and its extensions in particular Capocaccia, Campanino & Olivieri (1983). A second part will be dedicated to the existence of phase transition starting from the Kac-Thompson conjecture (1968) the Dyson results (1969), the Frohlich \& Spencer result (1982), the Imbrie result (1982) the Aizenmann, Chayes, Chayes & Newman result on the Thouless effect (1988), Imbrie & Newman result on the Berezinsky, Kosterlitz & Thouless transition (1988). A third part will be dedicated to present results in the phase transition regime that started with Frohlich & Spencer (1981), Cassandro, Ferrari, Merola & Presutti (2001) and its extensions in particular by Cassandro, Merola, Picco & Rosikov (2014) on the definition of an interface and its fluctuations, and on a Minlos & Sinai theorem on the phase separation problem by Cassandro, Merola & Picco (2017). Seminar In the second talk I will review heuristic arguments that were invoked to conjecture the existence of a phase transition at low temperature in particular the Landau argument. I will present toy models where the fluctuation of interfaces and localisation of the droplet in the Minlos & Sinai theory will be explained. I will give an algorithmic definition of one-dimensional contours of Cassandro, Ferrari, Merola & Presutti. Prof. Rui Pires da Silva Castro (Eindhoven University of Technology) Title: Testing for the presence of communities in inhomogeneous random graphs Abstract: Many complex systems can be viewed as a network/graph consisting of vertices (e.g., individuals) connected by edges (e.g., a friendship relation). Often one believes there is some sort of community structure, where some vertices are naturally grouped together (e.g., more densely connected between themselves than to the rest of the network). Much of the community detection literature is concentrated around methods that extract communities from a given network. Our goal in this work is different, and we attempt to understand how difficult is it to determine if a network has real communities. Furthermore, we are primarily interested in the case of small or very small communities, for which many existing results and methods are not applicable. We cast this problem as a binary hypothesis test, where the null model corresponds to a graph without community structure, and the alternative model almost the same, but it also includes a planted community - that is, a small subset of the vertices has higher connection probability than under the null. The main question is to determine the minimal size and “strength” of the planted community that will allow detection. The seminal work of Arias-Castro and Verzelen tackled this problem when the null model is a homogeneous random graph. In our work, however, we consider the case where the null model is inhomogeneous, as this is somewhat closer to realistic scenarios. In particular, we present a scan test and provide conditions under which it is able to detect the presence of a small community. These results are valid for a wide variety of parameter choices. Furthermore, we show that for some parameters choices the scan test is optimal, and no other test can perform better (e.g, detect smaller or weaker planted communities). Finally, we extend this scan test to adapt to many parameters of the model when the null is a rank-1 generalized random graph. In the first part of the talk I will describe the above formulation and ensuing results, with illustrative examples and briefly touching upon the analytical methodology. In addition, I will discuss the related problem of characterizing cliques in rank-1 random graphs, which provides some insights on the role of inhomogeneity. The second part of the talk will go deeper into more technical aspects and ensuing insights. This presentation is based on joint work with Kay Bogerd and Remco van der Hofstad (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01688 and ongoing work).

Conference on Assessing and Managing Climate Change Risk - Venice 26/27 September 2019
by Monica Billio 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

18^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2019 */Assessing and Managing Climate Change Risk: /* */Opportunities for Financial Institutions/* ** Venice, Italy 26 –27 September 2019 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), *European DataWarehouse* (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) and *S&P Global Market Intelligence* (London, UK) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 26-27, 2019. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and Ph.D. students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and atmospheric events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* (Milan, Italy)**and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission *(Ispra, Italy), is the *eighteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. //The adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks a historical international commitment to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. How to mobilise the necessary financing for green and sustainable investments is thus a primary need. // //Meanwhile, Regulators are discussing about a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor since they want to make sure financial institutions are prepared. It is to find the way to support sustainable investments but it is primarily a discussion about credit risk.// //The banking and insurance industries and more in general the financial sector has to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with these new challenges and take advantage of the new opportunities. All t////hese changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design adapted policy tools.//// The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE consists of: ·*Carlo Carraro*(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & CMCC, Programme Chair)** ·*Stefano Battiston *(University of Zurich) ·*Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) ·*Francesca Campolongo *(Joint Research Center, European Commission) ·*Robert Engle *(New York University) ·*Thomas Heller *(Climate Policy Initiative & Stanford University) ·*Andreas Hoepner*(University College Dublin) ·*StevenOngena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven & CEPR) ·*StephenSchaefer *(London Business School) ·*Cristiano Zazzara*(S&P Global Market Intelligence, New York) PROGRAMME *Thursday, September 26 2019* 08.30 - 09.00 _Registration_ 09.00 - 09.15 _Welcome_: *Michele Bugliesi* (Rector, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) _Opening Remarks:_ *Carlo Carraro* (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & CMCC, Programme Chair) 09.15 - 11.00 _Session I: BANKS AND CREDIT RISK_ Chairman: *Monica Billio* (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) •*Key-note talk:*/Banks and Climate Risk/, *Til Schuermann* (Oliver Wyman, New York) •/Climate Change and Credit Risk/, Giusy Capasso (Bocconi University)and *Gianfranco Gianfrate* (EDHEC Business School, Nice) - _Discussant:_*Roberto Panzica* (European Commission) •/Relaxing Credit Constraints: Credit Risk, Financial Intermediation Quality, and Environmental Impact/, *Ashay Kadam* (Indian Institute of Management at Udaipur)and Magdalena Pisa (WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management) - _Discussant:_ *Andrea Giacomelli* (Knowshape, Venice) 11.30 - 13.15 _Session II: CLIMATE RISK AND EQUITY MARKETS_ Chairman: *Carlo Carraro* (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & CMCC, Programme Chair) •*Key-note talk*: /New Results on Sustainable Investing/, *Robert Engle* (New York University) •/Climate Risks and Stock Returns/, Eugenio Carnemolla (University of Lausanne)and *Giuseppe Vinci* (Rice University, Houston) - _Discussant:_ *Massimiliano Caporin* (University of Padua) •/Investor Ownership and Carbon-Intensive Stocks: Who Holds the Carbon Risk Bomb?/, Lukas Benz (University of Augsburg), Stefan Paulus (University of Augsburg), Julia Scherer (University of Augsburg), Janik Syryca (University of Augsburg)and *Stefan Trück* (Macquarie University, Sidney) - _Discussant:_ *Thomas Heller* (Climate Policy Initiative & Stanford University) 14.15 - 15.45 _Session III: CLIMATE POLICY RISK_ Chairman: *Reinhard Harry Schmidt* (SAFE - Goethe University Frankfurt) •/Being Stranded with Fossil Fuel Reserves?

Seminario di Sam Thomas a Roma Tre 2 settembre ore 14:30

SEMINARIO Probabilita' Sam Thomas (Cambridge, UK) Titolo: Cutoff for Random Walk on Random Cayley Graphs Lunedi' 02 Settembre 2019 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Abstract Consider the random Cayley graph of a finite group $G$ with respect to $k$ generators chosen uniformly at random, with $1 ll log k ll log|G|$: the vertices are the group elements, and $g,h in G$ are connected if there exists a generator $z$ so that $g = hz$ or $gz = h$. A conjecture of Aldous and Diaconis asserts that the simple random walk on this graph exhibits cutoff, at a time which depends only on $|G|$ and $k$, not on the algebraic structure of the group $G$ (ie universally in $G$). We verify this conjecture for a wide class of Abelian groups. Time permitting, we discuss extensions to the case where the underlying group $G$ is non-Abelian. There the cutoff time cannot be written only as a function of $|G|$ and of $k$; it depends on the algebraic structure. This is joint work with Jonathan Hermon.

Seminario Prof. Macci 6/9/19 ore 15:30 Insubria University
by Elisa Mastrogiacomo 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Seminar announcement: Macci on Large deviations for risk measures models – September 6, 2019 - 15.30-16.30 Dear Colleagues, On September 6, 2019, 15.30-16.30, Prof. Claudio Macci (University of Roma Tor Vergata) will give a talk on “Large deviations for risk measures in finite mixture models” (joint with Valeria Bignozzi and Lea Petrella). Insubria University Dept. Economics, Via Monte Generoso 71 Sala del Consiglio primo piano Below you find an abstract of Claudio’s paper. You are all invited. Best regards, Elisa Mastrogiacomo Abstract Due to their heterogeneity, insurance risks can be properly described as a mixture of different fixed models, where the weights assigned to each model may be estimated empirically from a sample of available data. If a risk measure is evaluated on the estimated mixture instead of the (unknown) true one, then it is important to investigate the committed error. In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of estimated risk measures, as the data sample size tends to infinity, in the fashion of large deviations. We obtain large deviation results by applying the contraction principle, and the rate functions are given by a suitable variational formula; explicit expressions are available for mixtures of two models. Finally, our results are applied to the most common risk measures, namely the quantiles, the expected shortfall and the shortfall risk measure.

Eigenvalue bounds for the Laplacian on planar metric graphs *Giovedì 8 agosto 2019 * *Luogo: *Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Sala Seminari "-1" *Ore*: 11:00 *Relatore:* - *Marvin Plümer* (FernUniversität Hagen, Germany) *Abstract:* Self-adjoint differential operators – in particular Schrödinger-type operators – acting on metric graphs have been studied very actively, in recent years. Here, a metric graph is a collection of intervals whose endpoints are identified in a graph-like fashion. In this talk, we present some new developments in the theory of Laplacians on metric graphs: in particular, we discuss the role played by planarity in spectral theory and derive some lower and upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. To derive upper bounds we make use of a geometric representation for planar graphs provided by the classical Circle Packing Theorem of Koebe, Andreev and Thurston. For the derivation of lower bounds, we extend and apply a recently developed transference principle by Amini and Cohen-Steiner that compares eigenvalues of continuous and discrete models in a very convenient way. In this context we give a brief introduction to metric graphs and differential operators on metric graphs. This is joint work with Delio Mugnolo. *Referente*: Stefano Bonaccorsi
