We focus here on 2-scale convergence for random walks. In the first talk we aim to provide a gentle introduction to 2-scale convergence for random walks in a random environment with symmetric rates. Using the Palm theory of random measures we discuss ergodicity issues at a 2-scale level. We then introduce a basic difference calculus and define 2-scale convergence of functions and gradients, corresponding to an enforced averaging property. Finally we discuss the fundamental compactness and structure theorem for bounded families of H^1-functions, where geometrical issues of square integrable forms and the homogenized matrix emerge. In the second talk we discuss some applications of the above 2-scale convergence for random walks in a random environment. A first one is given by the invariance principle of random walks on the supercritical percolation cluster of P. Mathieu and A. Piatnitski. We then discuss more in detail applications to the homogenization of the massive Poisson equation associated with the random walk, which also enters in the derivation of the hydrodynamic limit of exclusion and zero range processes. Finally, we discuss applications to random resistor networks, in particular to the conductance model and the Miller-Abrahams one associated to Mott variable range hopping in amorphous solids. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://impa-br.zoom.us/j/94248802467?pwd=VlVQQzlsbjdKTHplRlRGbGlJRG5YUT09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimpa-br.z…> Please feel free to circulate this email.

10 PhD Positions in Stochastics and Algorithmics in NETWORKS (the Netherlands) The NETWORKS project is a collaboration of world-leading researchers from four institutions in The Netherlands: TU Eindhoven<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…>, University of Amsterdam<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%…>, Leiden University<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…> and the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…>. Research in NETWORKS focuses on stochastics and algorithmics for network problems. NETWORKS offers a highly stimulating research environment and an extensive training program for PhD students. Recently NETWORKS was awarded a COFUND grant the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, funded by the European Commission. The grant allows NETWORKS to expand its activities by opening positions for an additional 14 PhD students. As a NETWORKS-COFUND PhD student you can define your own PhD project in one of the research areas mentioned above, in collaboration with your NETWORKS supervisors. Application deadline 30 November 2020 Contract full time employment contract for 4 years Salary indication from €2.325 to €2.972 in 4 years Location The Netherlands (Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Leiden) Are you interested in the stochastics and algorithmics behind network problems?

Buongiorno, ricevo ed inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Louigi Addario-Berry <louigi.addario(a)mcgill.ca> Date: dom 1 nov 2020 alle ore 01:14 Subject: 13 postdoctoral positions in Montreal To: Louigi Addario-Berry <louigi.addario(a)mcgill.ca> Dear Colleague, There are many postdoctoral positions available in Montreal for the coming academic year (at least 13). Further information below; I would be grateful if you could for circulate this message to anyone you believe may be interested in applying. These are for candidates in all areas of mathematics, but I am particularly interested in encouraging candidates in probability theory and related fields, to work with members of the probability lab <http://problab.ca/yul/en/>. Candidates are encouraged to contact lab members who they are interested in working with, as applications are more likely to be successful when they have lab support. Please note that the application deadlines are quite soon - November 13; candidates are encouraged to submit applications as soon as possible. There are two postdoctoral fellowship competitions. Further details on the two programs can be found on MathJobs ( https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/16367 and https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/16288 - English follows French in the second posting), and on the probability lab website linked above. In addition to the vibrant mathematical life in the probability laboratory and in Montreal more generally, candidates may be interested in the thematic program on probability and PDEs (link <http://problab.ca/ppde/>), which will take place in Montreal in the first half of 2022 (postponed from 2021 due to COVID), and featuring several workshops, mini-courses, and numerous long-term visitors from around the world. Sincerely, Louigi. -- Louigi Addario-Berry Director, CRM Probability Lab louigi.addario(a)mcgill.ca problab.ca/louigi <http://www.problab.ca/louigi> https://twitter.com/Methemedantics -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************
