Seminar of Prof. Eckhard Platen, on Friday 23 september, at 3pm (fwd)
by Tiziano Vargiolu 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Dear all, on Friday 23 september, at 3pm , we will have the pleasure to host the seminar of Prof. Eckhard Platen from University of Sydney, who is visiting our math department during this week. The seminar will be in presence at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova, room 702 (stair B, 7th floor at via Trieste 63, Padova) and available on Zoom at the following address: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/86350461357 Title and abstract of the presentation are here below. Modeling Long-Term Stock Market Dynamics via Entropy Maximization Eckhard Platen University of Technology Sydney Abstract: By assuming the existence of the growth optimal portfolio (GP) and maximizing the entropy for a hierarchically structured stock market, the paper derives the GP dynamics as those of time-transformed squared Bessel processes of dimension four. The average of each of their squared volatility components is shown to converge toward a common level. The initial values of basis security accounts turn out to be gamma-distributed. The risk-adjusted return of the GP is not depending on a savings account and can be significantly higher than classical assumptions allow to explain.

Seminar Toulis @Bocconi - 22nd Sept at 12:00
by Giacomo Zanella 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

We are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar (more details at link <https://bidsa.unibocconi.eu/bidsa-hybrid-seminar-randomization-inference-tr…> ): Thursday, 22nd September 2022 12:00, Room AS01 + Zoom Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, floor -1 *Speaker**: Panos Toulis (University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, * https://www.ptoulis.com/) *Title:* Randomization Inference of Treatment Spillover Effects *Abstract:*In causal inference, interference exists when a unit’s outcome depends on the treatment assignments of other units. For example, intensive policing on one street could have a spillover effect on neighboring streets. Analyzing such effects with a model-based approach (e.g., regression) can be misleading because it requires strong, untestable assumptions on how spillovers behave asymptotically. A more robust approach is to use the randomization method, which resamples the treatment according to the experiment design in order to accurately quantify uncertainty. However, the classical method breaks down under spillovers because many null hypotheses of interest are not "sharp", i.e., they offer no information for some units in the sample. In this talk, I will propose valid, powerful, and easy-to-implement randomization tests for a general class of non-sharp null hypotheses that allow for arbitrary spillovers between units. The key idea is to represent the hypothesis of interest as a bipartite graph between units and assignments, and to find a clique of this graph. Importantly, the null hypothesis is sharp in this clique, enabling randomization-based inference conditional on the clique. I will illustrate this approach in three applications: (i) settings with clustered interference, (ii) a large-scale policing experiment in Medellín (Colombia), and (iii) an experiment designed to increase business firm performance by cultivating interfirm relationships. *Zoom information:*Join Zoom Meeting: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/93778273056 Meeting ID: 937 7827 3056 Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

de Finetti Risk Seminar - settembre 2022
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture: Felix Liebrich Hannover University, Germany Title: A tale of one (or many) probabilities. Abstract: A crucial condition that allows to establish that two probability charges lambda-system agree is Marinacci’s Uniqueness Theorem (MUT). A countably additive probability charge Q and a convex-ranged probability charge P agree if there is a nontrivial event such that Q is constant on the generated P-equilikelihood class. Special cases of the MUT can be derived from Lyapunov’s Convexity Theorem and the sharp version of the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds. A further alternative formulation of the assumption of the MUT is that the Q-expectation functional on simple random variables is locally P-invariant. It is this overlap between invariance and uniqueness that is the focus of the talk. We look at functionals defined on random variables that are globally invariant with respect to a reference probability P. Fixing a functional we ask the uniqueness question: Can there be more than one such such reference probability? For wide classes of functionals, we see that this is not the case unless they are (i) constant, or (ii) more generally depend only on the essential supremum and essential infimum of the argument. In the second part of the talk we return to the MUT and the recent, but significant extension provided by Svistula that dispenses with the countable additivity of Q. We expand and clarify the nature of the Svistula-MUT and uncover several equivalent conditions that enhance the applicability of said result. As a consequence, we present several applications. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on *September 28, *2022 at *18.00,* Conference hall 3-E4-SR03, Dept. of Decision Sciences, Bocconi University, Via G. Roentgen 1, Milan.

Dear all, Rishabh Gvalani, Felix Otto, Markus Tempelmayr, and I are organising a two week-long summer school at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig from the 10th to the 24th of May, 2023 on the general theme of "PDEs and randomness". The confirmed invited speakers include Roland Bauerschmidt (Cambridge), Bjoern Bringmann (IAS), Mitia Duerinkcx (FNRS/CNRS), Eva Kopfer (Bonn), and Nicolas Perkowski (FU Berlin). The talks will span a wide range of topics including, but not necessarily limited to, statistical mechanics, optimal transport, singular SPDEs, dispersive equations, and stochastic homogenisation. Each of the speakers will give 4 lectures of about 90 minutes each, spread out over 4 days. Additionally, we are planning on having reading groups/tutorial sessions in the afternoon, (self-)organized by the junior participants with support from the locals/organisers. We would be very grateful if you could keep this summer school in mind and also advertise it to the junior members of your respective research groups. You can find more information and the registration form on the website: https://www.mis.mpg.de/calendar/conferences/2023/randompde.html <https://www.mis.mpg.de/calendar/conferences/2023/randompde.html> Travel and accommodation support is available for junior participants.

LUISS Math Seminar
by Sara 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, we are glad to announce the following seminar, within the list of LUISS Math Seminars for this Academic Year. On 29th September - in Room 407, at 12:30, LUISS University, viale Romania 32, Roma, Prof Soren Christensen, Kiel University, will talk about: *Nonparametric approaches to data-driven stochastic control* Abstract: One of the fundamental assumptions in stochastic control of continuous-time processes is that the dynamics of the underlying process are known. This is, however, usually obviously not fulfilled in practice. On the other hand, a rich theory for nonparametric estimation of the characteristics of continuous-time processes has been developed over the last decades. In this talk, we discuss how to bring together these two areas for developing purely data-driven strategies for stochastic control, which we explore for ergodic impulse and singular control problems. We compare the results with those of deep-Q learning algorithms. -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli https://www.luiss.it/ Address: Viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/
