Seminario di Federico Sau a Roma Tre il 14 maggio
by Pietro Caputo 07 May '24

07 May '24

Martedì* 14 Maggio* 2024 alle ore *14:30*, Federico Sau (Università degli Studi di Trieste) terrà il seminario di Probabilità dal titolo "*Scaling limits of the averaging process*". Abstract: The averaging process on a graph is a continuous-space Markov chain, which is commonly interpreted as an opinion dynamics, a distributed algorithm, or an interface moving through a randomized sequence of deterministic local updates. Its dynamics goes as follows. Attach i.i.d. Poisson clocks to edges, and assign real values to vertices; at the arrival times of these clocks, update the values with their average. As time runs, the averaging process converges to a flat configuration, and one major problem in the field is that of quantifying the speed of convergence to its degenerate equilibrium in terms of characteristic features of the underlying graph. In this talk, after reviewing some basic properties and recent results on mixing times for the averaging process on general graphs, we focus on the discrete $d$-dimensional torus, and on some finer properties of the process in this setting. We discuss some quantitative features (e.g., limit profile, early concentration and local smoothness), and look at nonequilibrium fluctuations, a particularly interesting problem in this degenerate context lacking a non-trivial notion of local equilibrium. If time permits, we will touch on the main ideas of the proof of such scaling limits, which combine tools from Malliavin calculus in Poisson space, their probabilistic dynamic interpretations, and some new discrete-gradient estimates. Talk based on the preprints arXiv.2311.14176, arXiv.2403.02032. Il seminario si svolgerà in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica - Lungotevere Dante 376 (Blocco Aule) - *Aula M2*

06 May '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/>) Ricordiamo che oggi, lunedì 6 maggio 2024, Domenico Marinucci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) e Anna Vidotto (Università di Napoli Federico II) ci parleranno di La geometria degli insiemi di escursione per campi aleatori Gaussiani e La geometria dei campi aleatori sfera-per-tempo con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi, Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Domenico Marinucci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) e Anna Vidotto (Università di Napoli Federico II) TITOLO: La geometria degli insiemi di escursione per campi aleatori Gaussiani. RIASSUNTO: Obiettivo del seminario sarà di presentare una panoramica relativamente informale su alcuni risultati nell'analisi della geometria dei campi aleatori che sono stati ottenuti negli ultimi 10 anni circa. In particolare, si inizierà ricordando i risultati sulle curvature di Lipschitz-Killing di insiemi di escursione per campi Gaussiani (la Gaussian Kinematic Formula di Adler e Taylor); si proseguirà quindi con risultati per la varianza e teoremi del limite centrale nel regime di asintotica ad alta frequenza, discutendo anche le connessioni con altri campi della probabilità (in particolare, le espansioni in caos di Wiener ed il metodo di Stein-Malliavin). Se il tempo lo permetterà, si discuterà altresì la struttura di interdipendenza tra curvature di Lipschitz-Killing e punti critici, con alcuni cenni agli sviluppi più recenti (la geometria dei fibrati aleatori) e alle motivazioni/applicazioni di questi risultati. TITOLO: La geometria dei campi aleatori sfera-per-tempo. RIASSUNTO: Obiettivo del mio seminario sarà introdurre un nuovo regime asintotico per lo studio di campi aleatori definiti sulla sfera unitaria e dipendenti dal tempo. Considereremo statistiche di diversi funzionali geometrici costruite a partire dagli insiemi di livello del campo aleatorio e definite su un arco temporale crescente. Vedremo che le loro proprietà asintotiche, in particolare varianza e distribuzione limite, dipenderanno da un’interazione tra memoria temporale e livello. Infine, discuteremo brevemente le possibili applicazioni di questi modelli e dei risultati enunciati ad uno studio statistico delle proprietà dei campi aleatori di partenza, e conseguenti risvolti pratici nel campo delle scienze del Clima. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb <https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di short-course patrocinato da IASC (International Association for Statistical Computing). Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- - data e orario: 14 Maggio 2024 ore 10.30 - aula 207, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale "Amedeo Avogadro" - on-line: https://meet.google.com/qse-iafg-wim Title: Bayes spaces for functional data analysis of density functions: from univariate to multivariate setting Speakers: Jitka Machalova, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic Karel Hron, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic Alessandra Menafoglio, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Abstract: The analysis of distributional data (probability density functions or histogram data) has recently gained increasing attention in the applications. Distributional data are often observed by themselves, or as result of aggregation of large streams of data. The short course will provide an introduction to the analysis of these data using a Functional Data Analysis (FDA) approach, grounded on the perspective of Bayes spaces. These spaces are mathematical spaces whose points are densities (or, more generally, measures), which generalize to the FDA setting the Aitchison simplex for multivariate compositional data. The course will give an overview of the theory of Bayes spaces in their univariate and multivariate settings. All FDA methods, presented there, will be illustrated through examples from real case studies. The short course will provide an opportunity to gain new insight into FDA of univariate and multivariate density functions through the lens of the Bayes spaces methodology. The course is supported by the European regional section of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC - iasc-isi.org) an association of the International Statistical Institute (ISI - isi-web.org <https://www.isi-web.org/>). ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wQ32TWBG4HXppmonLnwU0HXhBRMGz3ek/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://seminari-ms.uniupo.it/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea G.

(PMS)^2 talks - G. CHERUBINI and R.W. MAFFUCCI - may 9 at 14:00
by Maurizia Rossi 02 May '24

02 May '24

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following two talks *Giacomo Cherubini* (INdAM & Univ. Roma La Sapienza) *From arithmetic random waves to universal quadratic forms* *Abstract: *Arithmetic random waves are eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the torus R^2/Z^2, written as sums of sines and cosines with random coefficients. In agreement with Yau's conjecture, we know that the length of the nodal set (i.e. the zero set) is of size proportional to the square root of the eigenvalue and in 2013, Krishnapur-Kurlberg-Wigman proved an asymptotic formula for its fluctuations. In this talk we will give an overview of the situation for the torus R^n/Z^n, highlighting the link between eigenspaces and quadratic forms and arriving at the statement of the "290-Theorem", which characterizes when a positive definite integral quadratic form represents all positive integers. *Riccardo W. Maffucci* (Univ. Coventry) *Nodal intersections and correlation structure for random waves* *Abstract: *This talk is based on joint works with V. Cammarota, D. Marinucci, and M. Rossi. Several recent papers studied the ensemble of Laplace Toral eigenfunctions, and their randomisation ‘arithmetic waves’, introduced in 2007 by Oravecz-Rudnick-Wigman. These waves are related to the arithmetic of writing a number as the sum of d squares, where d is the dimension. One question is the nodal (zero) volume of the wave, in the high energy limit. Restrictions of the wave to submanifolds have also attracted recent attention. We considered the length of intersection between the nodal set, and a fixed reference surface in 3 dimensions. Expectation, and variance in a general scenario were prior work. In the generic setting we prove a CLT. We will discuss (finer order) variance and (non-Gaussian) limiting distribution in the case of ‘static’ surfaces (e.g. sphere). We will also discuss recent developments on the correlation structure between different functionals of the wave. Under certain assumptions, there is asymptotic full correlation between intersection length and nodal area. Date and time: Thursday* May 9, 14:00-15:30 (Rome time zone)* Place: *Aula 3014, Dip. Matematica e Applicazioni, Univ. Milano-Bicocca, Via R. Cozzi 55, Milano* *Webex meeting link:* https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=m1c4d20c1f6c3199f3682809e0f4a… *Meeting number:* 2742 624 6987 *Meeting password:* mmYN7WusD46 *These talks are part of the* *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* *organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia and Milano-Politecnico.* Participation is free and welcome!

Seminario Federico Cornalba - Politecnico di Milano - 2 Maggio 2024
by Luca Scarpa 02 May '24

02 May '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 2 Maggio 2024, ore 11. Aula Seminari - III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Federico Cornalba, University of Bath. Title: Numerical and analytical aspects for stochastic equations from Fluctuating Hydrodynamics. Abstract: Large-scale systems of interacting particles are ubiquitous, with applications ranging from thermal advection phenomena to gradient descent algorithms in machine learning. While the mean-field-limit (MFL) perspective allows to efficiently characterize the ‘average’ evolution of many such particles systems (usually via PDEs), it does not incorporate a macroscopic description of the particles’ intrinsic fluctuations. The theory of Fluctuating Hydrodynamics addresses this aspect by instead describing the particle systems via stochastic PDEs which enrich the underlying MFL dynamics. For a weakly interacting multi-species system, we will discuss the interplay between MFL dynamics and associated stochastic PDE, and show that numerical discretizations of the latter can approximate the particles’ fluctuations in an accurate and efficient way. Based on joint works with Julian Fischer (IST Austria), Jonas Ingmanns (IST Austria), Claudia Raithel (TU Dresden).
