Seminar: Leonardo Maini - Mon 23 Feb at Milano-Bicocca
by Maurizia Rossi 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

Dear all, It is a pleasure to announce the following probability seminar Speaker:* Leonardo Maini* *(Univ. Roma Tor Vergata)* Date and place: *Monday** 23 February 2.30pm-3:30 pm -- **ATLAS building, room* *U1-04*, *Univ. Milano-Bicocca* (Piazza della Scienza 1, Milano) . Title: *Non-universal fluctuations for functionals of random neural networks* Abstract: We establish central and non-central limit theorems for sequences of functionals of the limiting Gaussian output of random neural networks on the sphere. We show that the asymptotic behaviour is determined by the fixed points of the covariance kernel and leads to three possible regimes: convergence to the same functional evaluated at a limiting Gaussian field, convergence to a Gaussian distribution, or convergence to a spherical Rosenblatt/Hermite-type distribution. More generally, we show that the transition between these behaviours is governed by the uniforme order of integrability (up to controlled errors) of the renormalized covariance function. This mechanism is closely related to what happens for Gaussian fields with regularly varying covariances at infinity in the Euclidean setting, and reveals an analogous structure on the sphere. Based on a joint work with S. Di Lillo and D. Marinucci.

Seminario Gianmarco Del Sarto 19/02 - Luiss
by Marta Leocata 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo che giovedì 19 Febbraio alle ore 12, presso l’aula seminari 304b della sede LUISS di viale Romania 32, Gianmarco Del Sarto (TU Darmstadt ) terrà un seminario dal seguente titolo e abstract: Title: Beyond warming: how greenhouse gases emissions can amplify polar temperature fluctuations Abstract: Climate change affects not only average temperatures but also their variability. Using a simple energy-balance model for the Arctic, we explain why temperature fluctuations can increase as radiative forcing (linked to CO_2) rises. Fast random variations in incoming solar energy represent weather, while temperature evolves more slowly. Because sea ice makes sunlight absorption strongly temperature-dependent, warming and ice loss make the system more sensitive to the same weather fluctuations. This yields a stochastic temperature equation and the key message: in the ice-affected regime, stronger forcing amplifies long-term temperature variance. This is a joint work with F. Flandoli and M. Lenzi. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Saluti, Marta Leocata

Coding Week in Crete (June 2026) – Hyperbolicity Meets Stochasticity
by Francesco Giuseppe Cordoni 16 Feb '26

16 Feb '26

Dear colleagues, I want to advertise a Coding Week that will take place in Crete, 21-26 June 2026 https://elenagaburro.it/sunhype2026.html The event is organized into six working groups, each led by a professor/researcher. The main theme of the week is hyperbolic equations. One of the proposed projects is titled "Hyperbolicity Meets Stochasticity." The project focuses on the development and implementation of numerical methods for stochastic hyperbolic conservation laws. The stochastic components are addressed using advanced Monte Carlo techniques, such as multilevel Monte Carlo. Participants are expected to have a background in numerical methods for hyperbolic problems, while only minimal prior knowledge of stochastic concepts is required (e.g., familiarity with normal distributions and expected values). A central focus of the project will be to investigate which discrete solutions of stochastic hyperbolic problems preserve key structural properties. The event is particularly aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers (up to 3–4 years after the PhD). There are currently still open spots in this group. If you know potential candidates who might be interested, I would be very grateful if you could share this opportunity. For further information or expressions of interest, please contact Prof. Elena Gaburro (University of Verona) at elena.gaburro(a)univr.it. Best regards, Francesco G. Cordoni - Ph.D. Associate professor -------------------------------------------------- Laboratory of Applied Mathematics Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering University of Trento Via Mesiano,77, 38123 Trento, ITALY e-mail: francesco.cordoni(a)unitn.it --------------------------------------------------

Seminario Padova - Lucio Galeati

13 Feb '26

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (28 Novembre) alle 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Lucio Galeati (Università dell'Aquila) <https://sites.google.com/view/lucio-galeati-math/home> https://sites.google.com/view/lucio-galeati-math/home Title: Anomalous dissipation and anomalous regularization in the Kraichnan model of turbulence Date: November 28, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: In the 60s Kraichnan proposed a synthetic model for passive scalar turbulence, consisting of a scalar advected by a random Gaussian velocity field, white in time and -Holder continuous in space. Despite its simplicity, this SPDE displays anomalous dissipation of energy, spontaneous stochasticity and intermittency, which are also expected for more realistic turbulent fluids. At the same time, solutions to the inviscid SPDE are unique and can be recovered by vanishing viscosity and mollification schemes. In this talk I will present some recent further understandings on this model: i) solutions to the transport equation with initial data display anomalous regularisation and almost gain Sobolev regularity , but not better; ii) solutions to the continuity equation starting from Dirac deltas instantaneously gain Lebesgue integrability, due to the diffusive behaviour of Lagrangian particle splitting, and their variance at small times grows like . Based on joint works with M. Maurelli, F. Grotto, U. Pappalettera and T. Drivas. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!
