Recruiting PhDs for tutoring at AIMS
by Julia Mortera 25 May '23

25 May '23

The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) centres are unique postgraduate educational centres recruiting students from the whole of Africa and preparing them for careers in the quantitative sciences. The current network has centres in South Africa (since 2003), Senegal (since 2011), Ghana (since 2012) Cameroon (October 2013) and Rwanda (2016). The AIMS programme is a 10-month course, intended to prepare African graduates with mathematically-based degrees for postgraduate study and employment. To achieve this, AIMS Cameroon (located in Limbe, Cameroon) is seeking enthusiastic individuals with backgrounds in mathematical sciences (including pure and applied mathematics, statistics and data science, physics, computer science, mathematical biology and other fields) who would like to volunteer as tutor, starting from September 2023. The call is open to PhD students, holding or approaching completion of a PhD is an advantage. The minimum requirement is an M.Sc at distinction level. Applicants should provide evidence of experience of teaching university mathematics, including marking and providing constructive feedback, good communication and social skills, as well as administrative and time management competence. Tutoring at an AIMS centre is a great opportunity to meet and work closely with prestigious scientists from around the world. Indeed, outstanding lecturers are recruited from all over the world to teach a one-year Master’s degree in mathematical sciences preparing students for advanced postgraduate research. The course is unusually broad in scope and employs the latest pedagogical method in order to stimulate critical and creative thinking. This is a unique opportunity for tutors to gain significant experience in teaching in higher education given that there is currently no school preparing teachers for higher education worldwide. Travel, visa, accommodation expenses and meals will be covered by AIMS Cameroon. The tutor will also receive a monthly stipend. Statisticians and data scientists can contact e.lawford(a)rss.org.uk for informal discussions. To submit an application, candidates should email their CV with at least two references, a statement letter of no more than 500 words to the AIMS-Cameroon academic team at academia-ml(a)aims-cameroon.org. In the letter, the applicant should state the period of their availability and provide evidence of what makes them an ideal candidate by drawing from their experience and qualifications. -- Julia Mortera Honorary Professor, University of Bristol Professor of Statistics, Università Roma Tre Web page:https://juliamortera.wordpress.com/

SPASS Seminar: Francesco Mattesini
by Andrea Agazzi 25 May '23

25 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Annealed quantitative estimates for the 2D-discrete random matching problem* by *Francesco Mattesini* (MPI Leipzig) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 30.05.2023* at *14:00 CET* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass --------------------------------------- Abstract: The optimal matching problem is a classical random variational problem which may be interpreted as an optimal transport problem between two random discrete measures. Its easier instance deals with matching 2 n-clouds of i. i. d. uniformly distributed points. In recent years Caracciolo-Lucibello-Parisi-Sicuro made exact predictions on the convergence of the rescaled cost thanks to a first order linearization of the Monge-Amp\'ere equation. This approach was later justified by Ambrosio-Stra-Trevisan and quantitative bounds for the convergence of the proxies were later shown by Ambrosio-Glaudo-Trevisan. Such techniques have been repurposed by Benedetto-Caglioti to study the case of i. i. d. random points with non-constant densities. By subadditivity and PDE arguments Ambrosio-Goldman-Trevisan were able to justify the latter for the convergence of the rescaled cost. We show annealed quantitative upper bounds for the approximating transport map in the case of i. i. d. points and weakly correlated points with non-constant densities. We extend our results to the case of unbalanced matching, i. e. matching between point clouds of different size and to point clouds sampled from a positive recurrent Markov chain. Joint work with N. Clozeau (IST Austria).

Seminar by Katia Colaneri in Milan (25.01.23)
by Valeria Bignozzi 23 May '23

23 May '23

Dear all, you're invited to the seminar that will take place, in hybrid mode, at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca. More details: • Speaker: Katia Colaneri (email: katia.colaneri(a)uniroma2.it <mailto:katia.colaneri@uniroma2.it>) Title: Some Optimisation Problems in Insurance with a Terminal Distribution Constraint Abstract: In this paper, we study two optimisation settings for an insurance company, under the constraint that the terminal surplus at a deterministic and finite time T follows a normal distribution with a given mean and a given variance. In both cases, the surplus of the insurance company is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. First, we allow the insurance company to pay dividends and seek to maximise the expected discounted dividend payments or to minimise the ruin probability under the terminal distribution constraint. Here, we find explicit expressions for the optimal strategies in both cases, when the dividend strategy is updated at discrete points in time and continuously in time. Second, we let the insurance company buy a reinsurance contract for a pool of insured or a branch of business. We only allow for piecewise constant reinsurance strategies producing a normally distributed terminal surplus, whose mean and variance lead to a given Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall at some confidence level α. We investigate the question which admissible reinsurance strategy produces a smaller ruin probability, if the ruin-checks are due at discrete deterministic points in time. This presentation is based on a joint work with Julia Eisenberg (TU Vienna) and Benedetta Salterini (University of Firenze) Seminar venue: University of Milano-Bicocca Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods Aula Seminari 4026, 4th floor, Building U7 January 25th, 4:30 pm Webex Link : https://unimib.webex.com/unimib/j.php?MTID=m40cd4bb0d7bb8035ca68f3821f453b33 <https://unimib.webex.com/unimib/j.php?MTID=m40cd4bb0d7bb8035ca68f3821f453b33> Join by meeting number Meeting number (access code): 2743 983 3965 Meeting password: c2uJfPBVe83 (22853728 from phones) Best regards, Valeria

Corso di dottorato di Amine Asselah in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 22 May '23

22 May '23

Si annuncia il corso di dottorato su *Random Walks e Branching Random Walks* del professor Amine Asselah (università di Parigi-Est Créteil) presso il dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma. Si riportano l’abstract e il calendario, in allegato il programma dettagliato. Si prega di diffondere l’annuncio a possibili interessati. Per essere inseriti nella mailing list del corso e essere aggiornati su possibili variazioni del calendario si prega di inviare un'email a lorenzo.taggi(a)uniroma1.it *ABSTRACT:* Simple Random Walk is the first example of a Markovian process, whereas Branching Random Walk has a time indexed by a random tree, and looses the SRW’s sequential way of visiting space. The highlights of the course would be two phenomena in high dimensions linked with folding. - The chances that two independent walks meet for a long time. - The chances that two independent branching walks both visit a large region, and this is to be discovered during the course. We plan to have self-contained lectures (with little pre-requisites), and will start with reviewing useful facts (classical and not) on random walks. *CALENDARIO:* Tutte le lezioni hanno luogo dalle 11:00 alle 13:00 presso il dipartimento di Matematica in aula B nei seguenti giorni: Lez. 1: lunedì 29/5 Lez. 2: giovedì 1/6 Lez. 3: giovedì 8/6 Lez. 4: venerdì 9/6 Lez. 5: lunedì 12/6 Lez. 6: giovedì 15/6 Lez. 7: lunedì 19/6 Lez. 8: giovedì 22/6
