De Finetti Risk Seminar - March 8, 2023
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture: Peter Tankov ENSAE Paris, France Title: Decarbonization dynamics of a large financial market: a mean-field game approach Abstract: We build a model of a financial market where a large number of firms determine their emission strategies under climate transition risk in the presence of both green-minded and neutral investors. The firms maximize a criterion depending on their financial performance (determined by the equilibrium share price), and their environmental performance. The interaction between the firms takes place through the stochastic discount factor, determined in equilibrium by the investors' preferences. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then present a convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium and illustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence of green-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics and share prices in a variety of settings.

expression of interest for mini-symposium on Graphical Models for Life Science
by Daniela De Canditiis 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, this is an invitation to express your interest in participating as a speaker at the following mini-symposium for the IMACS 2023 that will be in September in Rome *Site of Congress*: https://www.imacs2023.eu/index.php/IMACS2023/IMACS2023 *Title of the mini_symposium*: “Graphical Models for Life Science” *Organizers*: Claudia Angelini, Daniela De Canditiis and Italia De Feis (IAC-CNR) *Abstract*: Graphical models are an elegant framework for describing complex systems of random variables. The nodes represent variables, while the edges represent relationships among variables, such as conditional independence. Bayesian networks are direct acyclic graphs, while Markov networks are undirect graphs, both have undergone enormous development in the last decades. Graphical models are helpful for the statistical analysis of data in various domains. Recently, they are becoming strategic for life science, allowing us to infer relations among variables such as genes/proteins/diseases/. However, their use in life science opens novel challenges due to the amount and heterogeneity of the data. This Special Session is open to theoretical and methodological contributions and innovative applications in life science. All interested researchers are welcome to email one of the organizers by the 20th of March 2023. Best Regards Claudia Angelini: claudia.angelini(a)cnr.it <c.angelini(a)na.iac.cnr.it>, Daniela De Canditiis: d.decanditiis(a)iac.cnr.it, Italia De Feis: i.defeis(a)iac.cnr.it -- Daniela De Canditiis, PhD Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "M.Picone" (CNR) via dei Taurini, 19 -- 00185 Roma, Italy tel: +39 06 49937342 fax: +39 06 4404306 https://www.iac.cnr.it/personale/daniela-de-canditiis

Seminar by Alessandra Faggionato, on March 6th, Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance
by Alberto Chiarini 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the "Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance seminar" that will take place on March 6th, 2023 at 16.00, Room 1BC45 at the department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita". The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Alessandra Faggionato (Università La Sapienza) Title: Hydrodynamic limit of simple exclusion processes on point processes with random conductances Date and time: Monday, MARCH 6th at 16.00 Place: room 1BC45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83774362817?pwd=ZDZnRGdZZGpDNDRQd3pMQUw4NUx4dz09 available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We consider continuous-time random walks on a simple point process with random symmetric jump rates. The jump range can be unbounded. We assume some second-moment conditions and that the above randomness is left invariant by the action of the group G = R^d or G = Z^d. We then add the site-exclusion interaction, thus making the particle system a simple exclusion process. We show that, for almost all environments, under diffusive space-time rescaling the system exhibits a hydrodynamic limit in path space. The hydrodynamic equation is non-random and governed by the effective homogenized matrix D of the single random walk, which can be degenerate. The proof relies both on particle duality and on stochastic homogenization for a single random walk. We then focus on specific examples, including the simple exclusion process on Delaunay triangulations.

Seminario di Markus Fischer - 7 marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Giacomo Di Gesu 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Martedì 7 marzo, ore 14:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma. *Speaker: *Markus Fischer, Università di Padova *Title: *On correlated equilibria and mean field games *Abstract: *Mean field games are limit models for symmetric N-player games, as the number of players N tends to infinity. The prelimit models are usually solved in terms of Nash equilibria. A generalization of the notion of Nash equilibrium, due to Robert Aumann (1974, 1987), is that of correlated equilibrium. In a simple discrete setting, we will discuss correlated equilibria for mean field games and their connection with the underlying N-player games. We first consider equilibria in restricted strategies (Markov open-loop), where control actions depend only on time and a player's own state. In this case, N-player correlated equilibria are seen to converge to the mean field game limit and, conversely, correlated mean field game solutions induce approximate N-player correlated equilibria. We then discuss the problem of constructing approximate equilibria when deviating players have access to the aggregate system state. We also give an explicit example of a correlated mean field game solution not of Nash-type. Results (with L. Campi and Federico Cannerozzi) on a related notion of equilibrium in a diffusion-type setting will be mentioned as well.

Seminar Prof. Kostas Kardaras on "Portfolio choice under taxation and time constraints", 02/03/2023 at 4:30pm (fwd)
by Tiziano Vargiolu 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

****************************** WHEN? Thursday 2 March 2023 at 4:30pm WHERE? Room: 2BC60 - TORRE ARCHIMEDE, via Trieste 63, 35121 Padova (only in presence) WHO? Prof. Kostas Kardaras (LSE London) WHAT? Seminar on "Portfolio choice under taxation and time constraints" Abstract: We consider the problem of choosing an investment strategy that will maximise utility over distributions, under capital gains tax and constraints on the expected liquidation date. We show that the problem can be decomposed in two separate ones. The first involves choosing an optimal target distribution, while the second involves optimally realising this distribution via an investment strategy and stopping time. For the latter step, a variant of the Azema-Yor solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem is utilised, and its description is given very precisely in terms of solutions to algebraic equations.

Webinar PRISMA lunedì 6 marzo GUBINELLI-CALVIA
by Claudia Ceci 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Buongiorno a tutt* ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html). *Lunedì 6 marzo 2023, * *ore 16-17 Alessandro Calvia* *Titolo: *Stochastic filtering in a non-Markovian framework with predictable jump times. *Abstract:* Stochastic filtering is a classic branch of applied probability. Research on this subject began with the pioneering works of N. Wiener and R. E. Kalman; since then, it has vastly expanded in numerous directions and is still ongoing. The starting point of a stochastic filtering problem is a partially observed system, i.e., a model consisting of a signal (or unobserved) process and an observed process. The main goal is to compute an equation satisfied by the filter, which is the conditional distribution of the hidden signal given the available observation. To deduce filtering equations, classic models usually feature Markovian signal-observation pairs that may only have totally inaccessible jump times. In this talk I will present a non-Markovian model, with path-dependent coefficients, that also allows for predictable jump times both in the signal and in the observed process. These two features naturally arise in various applications and require some new ideas and non-trivial technical tools to be dealt with in the context of stochastic filtering. After providing some examples, I will deduce the filtering equation and, if time permits, I will discuss some possible future research. This is joint work with Elena Bandini and Katia Colaneri. *ore 17-18 **Massimiliano Gubinelli* *Titolo:* What is stochastic quantisation? *Abstract:* Euclidean quantum fields (EQFs) are probability measures on spaces of generalized functions on R^d out of which one can construct quantum field theories via a well understood procedure. Proving the existence of non-Gaussian Euclidean quantum fields in dimensions d=2,3 has been proved quite challenging, and informed the development of new mathematical techniques (logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, phase-space expansion, cluster and polymer expansions, renormalization group). More recently, also thanks to development in the theory of singular stochastic partial differential equations, the study of these probability measures has been taken on again, from the point of view of stochastic analysis. I will try to give a broad panorama of this stochastic approach, of his results and of the many open problems. As a result I would like to motivate the idea that stochastic quantisation should be seen as a novel kind of stochastic analysis adapted to situations, like EQFs, where stochastic calculus alone is not effective due to singular nature of the objects or the lack of a useful filtration.

OWPS Tomorrow: Alan Hammond and Tyler J. Helmuth
by Alberto Chiarini 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC, Alan Hammond and Tyler J. Helmuth will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Titles, abstracts and the zoom link are below the signature and will also be posted on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini and Adrián González Casanova ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk 1 : Alan Hammond (Berkeley) Title : Stake-governed random-turn games Abstract : Many combinatorial games, such as chess, Go and Hex, are zero-sum games in which two players alternate in making moves. In a random turn variant, each player wins the right to move at any given turn according to the flip of a fair coin. In 2007, Peres, Schramm, Sheffield and Wilson [PSSW] found explicit optimal strategies for a broad class of random-turn games, including Hex (which remains unsolved in its alternating-turn form on the 11-by-11 boards in which it is often played in tournaments). In this talk, we discuss stake-governed random-turn games, introduced recently in joint work with Gábor Pete. Two players of Hex are each given a certain limited budget at the outset of the game. At each turn, each stakes some part of what remains of her budget. The ensuing turn is random, with a player winning the right to move according to the proportion that her stake composes of the total stake at the turn. How much should a player stake at any given turn? Opposing pressures compete: stake too little, and lose the turn; too much, and be left with too little for later in the game. So this question concerns how to evaluate the relative strategic importance of intermediate positions in multi-turn games. We answer it for a class of games that are cousins of the random tug-of-war games introduced by PSSW in 2009; these authors forged a connection between game theory and the infinity Laplacian (which is an L^\infty counterpart to the usual L^2 Laplacian), and we will see how, in a discrete context at least, this connection extends to stake-governed random-turn games. Talk 2 : Tyler J. Helmuth (Durham University) Title : The Arboreal Gas Abstract : In Bernoulli bond percolation each edge of a graph is declared open with probability p, and closed otherwise. Typically one asks questions about the geometry of the random subgraph of open edges. The arboreal gas is the probability measure obtained by conditioning on the event that the percolation subgraph is a forest, i.e., contains no cycles. Physically, this is a model for studying the gelation of branched polymers. What are the percolative properties of these random forests? Do they contain giant trees? I will discuss what is known and conjectured.
