30 Jun '25

Dear all, we are writing to announce that the deadline for the nominations to the *Blackwell-Rosenbluth Award* has been moved to *July 15, 2025*. The award aims at recognizing outstanding junior Bayesian researchers based on their overall contribution to the field and to the community. There will be six winners in total who will be invited to present their work in two special webinar series and receive three years of free ISBA and j-ISBA membership. To encourage scientific exchange and strengthen research connections between geographies, three prizes will be awarded to researchers based in time zones UTC+0 to UTC+13 [e.g. Africa + Asia + Europe + Oceania] and three to those based in UTC-12 to UTC-1 [e.g. North America + South America]. We welcome nominations of junior researchers working in the broad spectrum of topics in Bayesian statistics, including but not limited to methods, theory, computation, machine learning, data science, biostatistics, econometrics, industrial statistics, environmental science, and software. Ph.D. students and early career researchers who received their Ph.D. after *January 1, 2020* are eligible for nomination. Candidates who were nominated in previous years may be nominated again if they received their Ph.D. after January 1, 2020. In exceptional cases, applicants who are more than five years past their Ph.D. may still be considered if they experienced a significant career break within five years of earning their degree (such as breaks due to illness, caring for a sick family member, pregnancy-related leave, or parental leave). A nomination may come from any ISBA member, including the nominee themselves. A nomination is to be submitted electronically and should contain: - Nominating letter in support of the candidate - CV of the candidate - One manuscript or alternate form of exposition (e.g. software documentation) of scientific work most representative of the candidate’s achievements; the submitted work should also be available as publication or in a public repository such as arXiv, bioRxiv, CRAN, Bioconductor or GitHub.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Hölder continuous solutions to inhomogeneous incompressible Euler flows* by *Ujjwal Koley* (Center for Applicable Mathematics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bangalore) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 01.07.2025* at *11:00 CEST *(mind unusual time) in Aula M-Lab, Polo Fibonacci, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. Best regards Mario Maurelli https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Title: **Hölder continuous solutions to inhomogeneous incompressible Euler flows* *Abstract: In this talk, we shall *discuss about the* construction of global-in-time Hölder continuous weak solutions to density dependent incompressible Euler equations in three-dimensional periodic domain. The proof is based on convex integration techniques using Mikado flows as building blocks. As a main novelty with respect to the related literature, our result produces Hölder continuous density.*

Deadline: July 18, 2025, 1pm Rome time zone. We strongly encourage applications of students interested in probability. The research interests of our probability group here in Pisa include: stochastic evolutions (e.g. stochastic partial differential equations, regularization by noise, stochastic fluid dynamics), probabilistic methods in machine learning (e.g. learning dynamics for neural networks), variational problems in commutative and non-commutative setting (e.g. quantum probability, random optimal transport, Malliavin calculus), interacting particle systems (e.g. propagation of chaos, large deviations). See also our webpage: https://www.dm.unipi.it/research/probability-and-mathematical-statistics/ Our group carries out (together with Scuola Normale, Firenze and Siena) the "probability, stochastic analysis and statistics seminar series". PhD students can also enjoy study groups and informal seminars which usually run at University of Pisa or at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The Department of Mathematics has been awarded with the excellence framework (Dipartimento di eccellenza) for the period 2023-2027.

Seminar presented by Marta Leocata - Applications of Probability to Economics
by Enrico Scalas 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, (With apologies for cross-posting) On 26 June 2025 at 2pm (CET) Marta Leocata (LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences) will present an online seminar whose title is: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt). The seminar link is: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/87022289921 This is the first seminar of a series of three seminars organised by UMI-PRISMA on the Applications of Probability to Economics in preparation to the 2025 Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview The next seminars will be: on 10 July 2025, Annamaria Olivieri, (University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management), Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications on 17 July 2025, Sara Merino Aceituno (Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Austria), Large particle limit for jump processes Everybody is welcome to join these seminars!

ColloquiLYSM by Pierre-Luois LIONS July 15 2025 11.00 Sapienza

ricevo e inoltro con piacere: ------------------------------ *Da:* PAUL Thierry <thierry.paul(a)sorbonne-universite.fr> *Inviato:* martedì 24 giugno 2025 08:45 *Oggetto:* ColloquiLYSM by Pierre-Luois LIONS July 15 2025 11.00 Sapienza Dear all, can I kindly ask you to diffuse the following announcement? - July 15 11.00, aula Levi-Civita Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo Sapienza University Roma Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 – Roma, *Pierre-Louis Lions* *Collège de France, Paris* *Mathematics and the Real World Today… and Tomorrow?* *On mathematics and their applications.* *Abstract*: It is well-known that mathematics are everywhere nowadays, from the design and improvement of most things that we use every day to the ubiquitous algorithms that govern our lives more and more. After a brief discussion of the nature of maths today, we wish to recall some historical facts that go back to the dawn of mathematics and that emphasize the fast growing role of mathematics with the use of computers and machine learning (AI). We shall describe how real world problems are being tacked with the help of mathematical models and equations that are often partial differential equations. And we wish to emphasize how the study of applications goes hand in hand with the development of maths. We will do so by discussing, without mathematical details, examples using Mean Field Games theory or random matrices.
