Dear Alessandra,
This is an announcement of the 2024 Summer School in Probability which
will take place at CRM, Montreal QC, Canada, on July 1-26 2024. Please
share the following with anyone who may be interested in taking part.
There will be two 4-week courses:
* Elliot Paquette: Random matrix theory of high-dimensional optimization
* Perla Sousi: Random walks and branching random walks: old and new
perspectives
There will also be 3 short (3 lecture) courses by
* Ellen Powell: Characterisations of random geometric objects
* Jacopo Borgo: Permutations in random geometry
* Igor Kortchemski:
Funding for local expenses will be provided for some participants who
are able to attend the entire summer school. This will largely consist
of housing in Montreal for the duration of the school.
Application for financial support will be accepted on mathjobs with a
deadline of January 10, 2024: https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/23694.
All information about the summer school can be found at
http://www.math.ubc.ca/Links/ssprob24/.
The school is intended primarily for graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows in Probability.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO
<https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…>
Venerdi 17 Novembre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto,
in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:

Speaker: Sven Wang (Humboldt University Berlin, Germany)
Title: *Statistical convergence rates for transport- and ODE-based
generative models*
Abstract:
Measure transport provides a powerful toolbox for estimation and generative
modelling of complicated probability distributions. The common principle is
to learn a transport map which couples a tractable (e.g. uniform or normal)
reference distribution to some complicated target distribution, e.g. by
maximizing a likelihood objective. In this talk, we discuss recent advances
in statistical convergence guarantees for such methods. While a general
theory is developed, we will primarily treat (1) triangular maps which are
the building blocks for ’autoregressive normalizing flows’ and (2)
ODE-based maps, defined through an ODE flow. The latter encompasses
NeuralODEs, a popular method for generative modeling. Our results imply
that transport methods achieve minimax-optimal convergence rates for
non-parametric density estimation over Hölder classes on the unit cube.
Based on the papers arXiv:2207.10231 and arXiv:2309.01043, joint with
Youssef Marzouk (MIT, United States), Robert Ren (MIT, United States) and
Jakob Zech (U Heidelberg, Germany).

Title: Coexistence in competing first-passage percolation
Abstract:
Consider the following random competition model on a given graph G that is driven by two first-passage percolation processes FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda. Initially, FPP_1 occupies a single site and FPP_\lambda is dormant in seeds that are placed on the sites of G as a product of Bernoulli measures of parameter p. Then, FPP_1 spreads through the edges of G at rate 1 and FPP_\lambda spreads from seeds at rate \lambda when that seed is attempted to be occupied by either FPP_1 or FPP_\lambda. Once a site is occupied by either process it remains occupied by that process henceforth. This model is known as first-passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE) and was first introduced by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19.
In the first talk, we establish that FPPHE is non-monotone in the sense that increasing p or \lambda may increase the probability that FPP_1 occupies infinitely many sites through constructing a quasi-transitive graph where such behaviour holds. The non-monotonicity of FPPHE makes understanding the phase transitions of the model extremely challenging. We prove that a regime of coexistence exists on hyperbolic and non-amenable vertex transitive graphs where both FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda concurrently occupy infinite connected components with positive probability.
In the second talk, we prove that a regime of coexistence also holds on Z^d for d>2 through the introduction of a refined multi-scale analysis that can handle non-equilibrium and non-monotone processes. We relate this proof to recent work on multi-particle diffusion limited aggregation by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19 and the SIR model by Dauvergne and Sly ’22 where FPPHE is a crucial analytical tool in understanding non-equilibrium particle systems.
Based on joint work with Alexandre Stauffer.
