Dear Colleagues, This is the second announcement for the 20th edition of the Young European Probabilists (YEP) workshop *Interacting Particle Systems on Random Structures, *which will take place on *23-27 June, 2025* in *EURANDOM* at Eindhoven University of Technology. The workshop will be centered around interacting particle systems on and of complex systems, aiming at describing criticality, phase transitions, and finite-size corrections in problems at the interface of mathematics, physics, biology, and computer science. This workshop aims to bring together young researchers and renowned scientists to share ideas, discuss research, and enable the next generation of researchers to obtain an overview of the emerging research field on this theme. The workshop will feature 3 mini-courses by the following distinguished speakers: - Shankar Bhamidi (University of North Carolina) - Cristian Giardinà (Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia) - Andrea Montanari (Stanford University) The workshop will also include invited talks by the following distinguished speakers: - Alessandra Bianchi (Università di Padova) - Francesca Collet (Università di Verona) - Elena Magnanini (Weierstrass Institut) - Noela Müller (TU Eindhoven) - Elena Pulvirenti (TU Delft) - Wioletta Ruszel (Utrecht University) - Mei Yin (University of Denver) - Irene Ayuso Ventura (Durham University) There will also be short talk and poster sessions for early postdocs and PhD students based on abstract proposals. Registrations are now open at *YEPXX | Interacting Particle Systems on Random Structures <https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/event/yepxx-interacting-particle-systems-on-ran…>*. Subject to sufficient final resources we will consider granting additional funding for young researchers.

Seminario Lorenzo dello Schiavo
by Gustavo Posta 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Nell'ambito delle attività del Progetto di Eccellenza 2023-2027 del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il professor Lorenzo dello Schiavo, Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, terrà 2 seminari nell'aula L del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il 2 aprile 2025 alle 16:00 e il 10 aprile 2025 alle 14:30 dal titolo Massive particle systems, Wasserstein Brownian motions, and the Dean–Kawasaki equation (Part I & II) Sunto: Let W be a conservative, ergodic Markov diffusion on some arbitrary state space M, converging exponentially fast to equilibrium. We consider: (1) Systems of up to countably many massive particles in M, with finite total mass. Each particle is subject to an independent instance of the noise W, with volatility the inverse mass carried by the particle. We prove that the corresponding infinite system of SDEs has a unique solution, for every starting configuration and every distribution of the masses in the infinite simplex. (2) Solutions to the Dean--Kawasaki SPDE with singular drift, driven by the generator L of W. We prove that the equation may be given rigorous meaning on M, and that it has a unique `distributional’ solution. This extends Konarovskyi--Lehmann--von Renesse's `ill-posedness vs. triviality' to the case of infinitely many massive particles. (3) Diffusions with values in the space P of all probability measures on M, driven by the geometry induced by L. (4) In the case when M is a manifold, differential-geometric and metric-measure Brownian motions on P induced by the geometry of optimal transportation and reversible for a normalized completely random measure. We show that all these objects coincide. The first talk will survey general aspects of the constructions, mostly focussing on (1) and (3). The second talk will focus on (2) and explain its relations with known results about the Dean–Kawasaki equation. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Posta Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma "la Sapienza" P.le A.

Seminar Enrico Biffis
by Gabriele Stabile 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar *Enrico Biffis *(Imperial College Business School) Title: Robust climate risk management Abstract: In this talk I will review some recent problems arising in climate risk management ranging from climate model selection and climate stress testing to emissions estimation. I will then focus on emission targets and abatement incentives, presenting some empirical evidence on reported emissions and discussing a model allowing us to explore the interplay between carbon emission targets, endogenous GHG emission mix, and climate risk mitigation. The talk is based on works with Giuseppe Brandi, Kaveh Salehzadeh Nobari, Simone Cenci, and Sara Biagini. *Wednesday, 26 March 2025, 14.00-15.00* Aula Matematica (Faculty of Economics building-first floor), Via Del Castro Laurenziano 9, Roma

Seminar Sirio Legramanti @Luiss
by Alessia Caponera 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Sirio Legramanti, University of Bergamo *Title*: Concentration of discrepancy-based approximate Bayesian computation via Rademacher complexity *When*: March 27, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: There has been an increasing interest on summary-free solutions for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) that replace distances among summaries with discrepancies between the empirical distributions of the observed data and the synthetic samples generated under the proposed parameter values. The success of these strategies has motivated theoretical studies on the limiting properties of the induced posteriors. However, there is still the lack of a theoretical framework for summary-free ABC that (i) is unified, instead of discrepancy-specific, (ii) does not necessarily require to constrain the analysis to data generating processes and statistical models meeting specific regularity conditions, but rather facilitates the derivation of limiting properties that hold uniformly, and (iii) relies on verifiable assumptions that provide more explicit concentration bounds clarifying which factors govern the limiting behavior of the ABC posterior. We address this gap via a novel theoretical framework that introduces the concept of Rademacher complexity in the analysis of the limiting properties for discrepancy-based ABC posteriors, including in non-i.i.d. and misspecified settings. This yields a unified theory that relies on constructive arguments and provides more informative asymptotic results and uniform concentration bounds, even in those settings not covered by current studies. These key advancements are obtained by relating the asymptotic properties of summary-free ABC posteriors to the behavior of the Rademacher complexity associated with the chosen discrepancy within the family of integral probability semimetrics (IPS). The IPS class extends summary-based distances, and also includes the widely implemented Wasserstein distance and maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), among others. As clarified in specialized theoretical analyses of popular IPS discrepancies and via illustrative simulations, this new perspective improves the understanding of summary-free ABC.
