One world probability seminar on Thursday 30 November
by Ilya Chevyrev 24 Nov '23

24 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (November 30) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*. The speakers of this session are Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza) and James Norris (University of Cambridge). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden growth or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will introduce the ALE models, which include Hastings-Levitov models as particular cases, and discuss their large scale behaviour. Based on joint work with James Norris (Cambridge, UK) and Amanda Turner (Leeds, UK). Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza). Title: Analysis of stochastic evolutions in infinite dimensions: application to stability of the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: Martingales play a important role in the analysis of stochastic processes, in particular in demonstrating laws of large numbers and central limit behaviour. Motivated by the Aggregate Loewner Evolution models discussed in the preceding talk, I will discuss an interplay between martingale inequalities and Lp-multiplier estimates which allows to extend the use of martingales in an infinite-dimensional setting. (This is joint work with Vittoria Silvestri (Rome, La Sapienza) and Amanda Turner (Leeds).) Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): James Norris (University of Cambridge).

SPASS Seminar: Lucie Laurence
by Andrea Agazzi 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Scaling methods for stochastic chemical reaction networks * by Lucie Laurence (INRIA Paris) The seminar will take place on TUE, 28.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk we investigate stochastic chemical reaction networks (CRNs) with scaling methods. This approach is used to study the stability properties of the associated Markov processes, but also to investigate the transient behavior of the sample paths. It also gives insight on the impact of specific features of these networks such as their polynomial reaction rates, leading to the coexistence of multiple timescales. Some examples of CRNs are discussed to illustrate the multiple timescales involved in the decay of the norm of the state when the CRN starts from a “large” initial state. A detailed scaling analysis of an interesting CRN exhibiting a slow decrease of the norm of the state is presented.*
