Seminario di Giovanni Conforti a Roma Tre il 7 luglio 2023
by Pietro Caputo 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

Venerdì 7 luglio 2023 alle ore 14:30, Aula M3 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1- 00146 Roma. Speaker: Giovanni Conforti (CMAP Ecole Polytechnique, Paris) Title: Stable convexity profiles for Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations and applications to entropic optimal transport. Abstract: It is well known that solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation with a convex terminal condition remain convex at all times. In this sense, the set of convex functions is stable under the action of the HJB equation and this result can be derived as a simple consequence of the Prékopa-Leindler inequality. In this talk I will illustrate a probabilistic method based on the analysis of coupling by reflection on a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) that prompts the existence of stable sets for the HJB equation composed of functions that are only "asymptotically convex", but not necessarily convex. If time allows, I will move on to illustrate two consequences of this result to the Schrödinger problem, a.k.a. entropic optimal transport problem. The first is that the optimal coupling satisfies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality and the second one is that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges exponentially fast in the number of iterations to the optimal coupling. Partially based on joint work with A.Durmus and G.Greco

Seminario di Wei Wu in Sapienza il 4 Luglio
by Lorenzo Taggi 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Si comunica che Wei Wu (NYU Shangai) terrà un seminario presso il Dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma in Sala di Consiglio, Martedì 4 Luglio ore 14:00, dal seguente titolo e abstract: Title: Massless phases for the Villain model in d>=3 Abstract: The XY and the Villain models are models which exhibit the celebrated Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions in two dimensions. The spin wave conjecture, originally proposed by Dyson and by Mermin and Wagner, predicts that at low temperature, spin correlations of these models are closely related to Gaussian free fields. I will review the historical background and discuss some recent progress on this conjecture in d>=3. Based on the joint work with Paul Dario (CNRS).

Expression of interest for postdoc positions
by Daniele Cappelletti 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Dear all, We are asking for expressions of interest in postdoctoral positions that will soon be available at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Polytechnic University of Milan, or Pisa university. The hired postdocs will develop mathematical results in the setting of stochastic reaction networks, which are a family of continuous-time Markov chains with polynomial transition rates extensively used as models in biochemistry. Specifically, the hired postdocs will work on stochastic process convergence, stationary behaviour (existence and characterization), and/or extensions of the classical models to include spatial heterogeneity (stochastic diffusions, processes on a graph, etc). More details on the project can be found here <https://constrained.polito.it/>. To send an expression of interest, please use this form <https://questionari.polito.it/442865?lang=en>. For any further question, please write to constrained(a)polito.it Daniele, Andrea, Luisa

(PMS)^2 talk - Cazzaniga - July 3 at 17.00
by Carlo Orrieri 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Alberto Cazzaniga (Area Science Park) Title: What is the probability that a random symmetric tensor is close to rank-one? Abstract: We address the problem of estimating the probability that a real symmetric tensor is close to rank-one tensors, motivated by the many applications of low-rank approximation. We discuss how the question can be addressed by studying metric invariants of the real Veronese variety thanks to the Weyl's tube formula. We describe the role of the reach and the curvature coefficients with respect to the Bombieri-Weyl metric in obtaining an explicit estimate, and outline the main ideas employed to tackle their calculation. We conclude by discussing some asymptotic results for the case of rational normal curves. Based on joint work with A. Lerario and A. Rosana. Date and time: Monday July 3, 17:00-18:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Laboratorio didattico, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Entra nella riunione in Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81154155086?pwd=Rit2Ymd3eE1lUWIrc0ErQlRMcGNVdz09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81154155086?pwd=Rit2Ymd3eE1lUWIrc0ErQlRMcGNVdz09> ID riunione: 811 5415 5086 Passcode: 317594 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

Seminars in Probability and Finance - Giulia Livieri (LSE London) & Federico Sau (University of Trieste)
by Alberto Chiarini 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

========================================================== PADOVA SEMINARS IN PROBABILITY AND FINANCE webpage: http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ========================================================== Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the "Padova seminars in Probability and Finance" this Friday, June 30 starting from 14.30 in Room 2BC30 at the department of Mathematics of the University of Padova. The seminar can also be followed via Zoom from a link to be found at https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ This week we will have two contributions: 14:30 - Giulia Livieri (LSE London) 15:30 - Federico Sau (University of Trieste) See further details below. The organizers _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Giulia Livieri (LSE London) Title: Designing Universal Causal Deep Learning Models: The Case of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems from Stochastic Analysis Abstract: Causal operators (CO), such as various solution operators to stochastic differential equations, play a central role in contemporary stochastic analysis; however, there is still no canonical framework for designing Deep Learning (DL) models capable of approximating COs. This paper proposes a "geometry-aware'" solution to this open problem by introducing a DL model-design framework that takes suitable infinite-dimensional linear metric spaces as inputs and returns a universal sequential DL model adapted to these linear geometries. We call these models Causal Neural Operators (CNOs). Our main result states that the models produced by our framework can uniformly approximate on compact sets and across arbitrarily finite-time horizons Hölder or smooth trace class operators, which causally map sequences between given linear metric spaces. Our analysis uncovers new quantitative relationships on the latent state-space dimension of CNOs which even have new implications for (classical) finite-dimensional Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). We find that a linear increase of the CNO's (or RNN's) latent parameter space's dimension and of its width, and a logarithmic increase of its depth imply an exponential increase in the number of time steps for which its approximation remains valid. A direct consequence of our analysis shows that RNNs can approximate causal functions using exponentially fewer parameters than ReLU networks. Speaker: Federico Sau Title: Spectral gap of the symmetric inclusion process Abstract: In this talk, we consider the symmetric inclusion process on a general finite graph. Our main result establishes universal upper and lower bounds for the spectral gap of this interacting particle system in terms of the spectral gap of the random walk on the same graph. In the regime in which the gamma-like reversible measures of the particle system are log-concave, our bounds match, yielding a version for the symmetric inclusion process of the celebrated Aldous'spectral gap conjecture --- originally formulated for the interchange process and proved by Caputo, Liggett and Richthammer (JAMS 2010). Finally, by means of duality techniques, we draw analogous conclusions for an interacting diffusion-like unbounded conservative spin system known as Brownian energy process, which may be interpreted as a spatial version of the Wright-Fisher diffusion with mutation. Based on a joint work with Seonwoo Kim (SNU, South Korea). The Zoom meeting can be joined via the link to be found at https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
