Dear all, due to the coronavirus emergency in Italy and, in particular, in Padova, we clearly had to postpone the visit of Professor Antoine Jacquier and as a consequence, also his course "*A smooth tour around rough models in finance (From data to stochastics to machine learning)*", which was scheduled in March/April 2020. Hopefully he will visit Padova and give his course later this year. At the moment, the new schedule is not available. I am sorry for the inconvenient, this cancellation was necessary. I wish to all of you a nice week, despite the virus, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

09 Mar '20

Buongiorno. Rimando questo messaggio che è rimasto sospeso qualche giorno su Random. Mi dispiace del disguido. Marco Fuhrman A causa dell'emergenza sanitaria, il corso di Mario Maurelli su Regularization by noise cambierà modalità di svolgimento. Di seguito il messaggio del docente. Cordiali saluti a tutti. Marco Fuhrman -------------------- Dear all, Unfortunately, given the situation with the coronavirus, I am forced to change plans for my course on Regularization by noise. Lectures will likely not take place anymore in the Aula Dottorato of the Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano, and will be replaced by recorded lectures. I will be available for questions and discussions on the recorded lectures. I invite those who are interested to contact me in order to have access to the recorded lectures. I am sorry for the change but I believe this is the best compromise in this situation. Best regards Mario Maurelli ------------------ <signaturebeforequotedtext></signaturebeforequotedtext><signatureafterquotedtext></signatureafterquotedtext>

PhD position in theoretical probability at TU Delft
by Alessandra Cipriani 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

The Institute of Applied Mathematics at TU Delft invites applicants for a PhD position in Mathematics (theoretical probability) employed full-time. The research work lies in the intersection of the area of theoretical probability, analysis and distribution theory. The PhD project aims at understanding a long-standing question in analysis and probability, namely how to define functions of (random) distributions. In particular we will construct functions of random distribution using suitable discrete models and we plan to investigate the scaling limits of certain quantities of physical systems in different geometries as well. See https://www.academictransfer.com/en/290256/phd-position-in-theoretical-prob… for more details. This project is a joint collaboration between Dr. Cipriani from the Department of Applied Mathematics at TU Delft and Dr. Ruszel from the Mathematics Institute of Utrecht University. For information about the position contact A. Cipriani at A.Cipriani(a)tudelft.nl<mailto:A.Cipriani@tudelft.nl>.
