(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Daria Ghilli - April 11 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Daria Ghilli (Università di Pavia) Title: A mean field game model in economics with spatial interactions in the human capital Abstract: We study an economic model where each agent chooses its position in space and its level of human capital maximizing its own utility and interacts with the other agents through the human capital. The main peculiarity of the model we consider consists in the presence of a spatial interaction term in the dynamic of the human capital, i.e. spatial spillovers on the accumulation of human capital and in the utility, i.e. spatial spillovers on the consumption. We adopt a Mean Field Game (MFG) approach and study a system of two partial differential equations, the MFG system, which arises as the continuum macroscopic description of the discrete multi-agents system emerging, heuristically, as the limit as the number of agents tends to infinity. The MFG system we study is expected to approximate Nash equilibria for the discrete multi-agents system when the number of players tends to infinity. This is a joint work with C. Ricci (Pisa) and G. Zanco (LUISS). Date and time: Monday April 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09> ID riunione: 831 9011 0958 Passcode: 384911 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome! Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Seminar in Pisa: Ruojun Huang
by Francesco Grotto 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) to be held Wednesday (April 6th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 6th, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) Title: Coagulation under environmental noise Abstract: Environmental noise in a continuum interacting particle system is a space-dependent noise acting on all particles simultaneously. We prove that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses, subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation, converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) with Smoluchowski-type nonlinearity. It partially extends a result of Hammond-Rezakhanlou (2007) who considered the PDE case, with our motivation coming from trying to understand the effect of turbulence on rain formations. Based on a joint work with Franco Flandoli.

Ricevo e inoltro.

We would like as many applications as possible, so please spread the word! Thanks, Matt ---------------- Pathway to Research scheme - a scheme for students completing, or having completed, a BSc or taught Masters The SAMBa CDT, based in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, is seeking applicants to its Pathway to Research scheme. This will provide three people, who have the potential to be excellent mathematical researchers, but who have – for any number of reasons – not been able to take advantage of enough mathematical training to get them ready for PhD research, with a year long programme of training and mentorship in a research environment, plus a £10,000 bursary, resulting in an MSc qualification. https://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/start-your-research-career-in-mathematics-… Barriers to academic progress that applicants may have faced could include significant caring responsibilities, the need to work during their studies, a lack of access to fundamental mathematics courses (e.g. Further Maths A level), having had a restricted choice of location for their undergraduate degree, and there will be many more. It may be that there are people on your courses, or those who have recently graduated, who are unaware that a career in research mathematics was even an option and please can I encourage you to make them aware of this scheme. The deadline for applications is 16th May, with a visit day for those who apply planned for 26th May. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the APPLIEDPROB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=APPLIEDPROB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/APPLIEDPROB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
