Seminar: Riccardo Maffucci at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Dear all, next Thursday, May 5th, Riccardo Maffucci (EPFL) will give a seminar about "Distribution of nodal intersections for random waves". Abstract: This work is in collaboration with Maurizia Rossi. Random waves are Gaussian Laplacian eigenfunctions on the 3D torus. We investigate the length of intersection between the zero (nodal) set, and a fixed surface. Expectation, and variance in a general scenario are prior work. In the generic setting we prove a CLT. We will discuss (smaller order) variance and (non-Gaussian) limiting distribution in the case of ’static’ surfaces (e.g. sphere). Under a certain assumption, there is asymptotic full correlation between intersection length and nodal area. The seminar will take place in Aula De Blasi, Università Tor Vergata, at 16h00. We encourage in-person partecipation, but should you unable to come here is the link to the event on Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project Math@TOV.

Dear colleagues, We are glad to invite you to the seminar that will take place on the 8th of September, at 16.00: - in presence: room 101 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: https://meet.google.com/xaz-bwct-dqo *An Introduction to Saddlepoint Approximations* *Prof. Elvezio Ronchetti* Research Center for Statistics and Geneva School of Economics and Management University of Geneva, Switzerland Elvezio.Ronchetti(a)unige.ch www.unige.ch/gsem/en/research/faculty/honorary-professors/elvezio-ronchetti/ *Abstract:* Classical inference in statistics is typically carried out by means of standard (first-order) asymptotic theory. However, the asymptotic distribution of estimators and test statistics can provide a poor approximation of tail areas especially when the sample size is moderate to small. This can lead to inaccurate p-values and confidence intervals. Several techniques, both parametric and nonparametric, have been devised to improve first-order asymptotic approximations, including e.g. Edgeworth expansions, Bartlett's corrections, and bootstrap methods. Here we focus on saddlepoint techniques, introduced into statistics by H. Daniels, and more generally on small sample asymptotic techniques, an expression coined by F. Hampel to express the spirit of these methods. Indeed they provide very accurate approximations of tail probabilities down to small sample sizes and /or out in the tails. Moreover, these approximations exhibit a relative error of order 1/n, an improvement with respect to other available approximations obtained by means of Edgeworth expansions and similar techniques. We will review the basic ideas, show the link with other nonparametric methods such as empirical likelihood, and outline some connections to information theory and optimal transportation.

Avviso di seminario - Elisa Alòs

AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Venerdì 2 settembre 2022, alle ore 14:00, nell'aula Dal Passo del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata si terrà il seguente seminario (in presenza e online): On the skew and curvature of implied and local volatilities Elisa Alòs, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) Abstract. In this talk, we study the relationship between the short-end of the local and the implied volatility surfaces. Our results, based on Malliavin calculus techniques, recover the recent $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ rule (where $H$ denotes the Hurst parameter of the volatility process) for rough volatilitites (see Bourgey, De Marco, Friz, and Pigato (2022)), that states that the short-time skew slope of the at-the-money implied volatility is $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ the corresponding slope for local volatilities. Moreover, we see that the at-the-money short-end curvature of the implied volatility can be written in terms of the short-end skew and curvature of the local volatility and viceversa, and that this relationship depends on $H$.

UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Giovedì 1 settembre 2022, alle ore 12:00, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, si terrà il seguente seminario in presenza e online (su Teams): *Analyzing the loss of protection in an SVIS stochastic model with infection reintroduction, when vaccines are partially effective* Prof.ssa *Maria Jesus Lopez-Herrero* Department of Statistics and Data Science, Faculty of Statistical Studies, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT This talk deals with a stochastic Susceptible-Infected-Vaccinated-Susceptible (*SIVS*) model with infection reintroduction, where the propagation of a contagious disease was modeled in terms of a continuous time Markov chain. A communicable disease spreads in a homogeneous moderately-sized community of constant size in which individuals are identical in terms of social mixing and disease contact or recovery characteristics. Health policies depend on a vaccine coverage that guarantees herd immunity levels in the population. Hence, for community protection, a certain number of individuals were vaccinated against the contagious disease before the outbreak starts. Vaccine failures occur when an organism develops a disease despite of being vaccinated against it. After vaccination, a proportion of healthy individuals unsuccessfully tries to increase antibody levels and, consequently these individuals are not immune to the vaccine preventable disease. When an infectious process is in progress, the initial vaccine coverage drops down and herd immunity will be lost. Our objective is to introduce a threshold for vaccination level and study random characteristics depending on this threshold and also on the vaccination eligible group that could advise health authorities when to launch a new vaccination program to recover the initial immunity level. link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWUxYmVmYmQtOWVmMC00… Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare.
