Seminario Anna Donadini - Politecnico di Milano - 28 Ottobre 2025
by Luca Scarpa 23 Oct '25

23 Oct '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Martedì 28 Ottobre 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Anna Donadini, Università di Milano-Bicocca. Title: Directed polymer in space-correlated disorder. Abstract: Directed polymers in random environments describe a perturbation of the simple random walk by a random disorder (environment). The partition function of such models has been extensively studied in recent years, also due to its connection with the solution of the Stochastic Heat Equation. While classical results focus on space-time independent disorder, we investigate the case of a Gaussian environment with (critically) space-correlated disorder. We show that, similarly to the independent case, a phase transition occurs: when the disorder strength is below a critical threshold, the log-partition function satisfies a central limit theorem; above this threshold, it converges to zero in distribution. Remarkably, the appropriate scaling constant for the disorder, as well as the correct limiting variance, emerge from a non-trivial induction scheme that reflects the critical nature of the correlation.

Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Lucas Benigni (Università di Montreal) e Giorgio Cipolloni (Università di Roma 2 Tor Vergata) TITOLO: The mystery of universality in Random Matrix Theory. RIASSUNTO: Over the past fifteen years, our understanding of universality in random matrix theory has undergone a remarkable transformation. For many models of large random matrices, it is now known that both eigenvalue statistics and eigenvector structures exhibit universal behavior that depends only on the symmetry class and not on the fine details of the matrix entries. This universality lies at the heart of deep conjectures in mathematical physics—connecting topics as diverse as quantum chaos, number theory, and high-dimensional statistics—and has become one of the major success stories of modern probability theory. In this two-part colloquium, we will survey these advances with a focus on Wigner matrices, Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with i.i.d. entries up to the symmetry constraint. The first part will discuss universality of eigenvalues, from local spectral laws to modern proofs of universality of local statistics. The second part will turn to eigenvectors, highlighting recent progress on delocalization, quantum ergodicity, and eigenvector statistics.

Cancelled - QFinLab Seminar - Riccardo Brignone (Università di Pavia) - 23/10/2025, 14:30 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano

Dear colleagues, unfortunately, the QFinLab seminar at Politecnico di Milano (see the original announcement below), scheduled for tomorrow, 23 October, is cancelled. Best regards, Alessandro Calvia *** Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Thursday, 23 October 2025, 14.30-15.30 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano<https://www.google.com/maps/search/Via+Bonardi+9,+Milano?entry=gmail&source…> (Leonardo Campus) Riccardo Brignone (Università di Pavia) Title: Pricing path-dependent options under stochastic volatility models with full error control. Abstract: In this paper, we propose a unified methodology for pricing general path-dependent derivatives (e.g., Asian and Barrier options) that is based on the Monte Carlo-Conditional Fourier-cosine method and works for a broad class of stochastic volatility models. The main benefit of the proposed approach over existing literature consists in a simple and effective control of the error. A practitioner simply needs to provide the pricing algorithm with two parameters: i) a probability, q; ii) an error tolerance epsilon. Then, our proposed algorithm provides a price approximation that differs by no more than epsilon from the true unknown option price with probability at least equal to q. We provide an explicit link between the variance of the Monte Carlo simulation estimator of the option price, the error tolerance, and the number of simulations. In this way, the pricing methodology becomes extremely efficient when combined with effective variance reduction techniques that drastically reduce the number of simulations (and, consequently, the computing time) required to obtain an arbitrarily accurate price estimate.

Fabio Martinelli - Tè di Matematica a Roma Tre 29 ottobre 2025
by Pietro Caputo 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Nell'ambito dei Tè di Matematica, per celebrare il pensionamento di Elisabetta Scoppola, mercoledì *29 ottobre* alle *ore 16:00*, Fabio Martinelli terrà un seminario dal titolo *"An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Anderson Localization"*. Abstract: In 1958, the physicist P. W. Anderson published the paper "Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices," which contributed to winning him the Nobel Prize in 1977 for the discovery of the phenomenon now known as "Anderson localization." In the simplest case, Anderson localization states that a Schroedinger operator with a random potential on, e.g., a d-dimensional lattice has a pure-point spectrum with exponentially localized eigenstates if the randomness of the potential is sufficiently strong. In his Nobel lecture Anderson said "...*Localization was a different matter: very few believed it at the time, and even fewer saw its importance; among those who failed to fully understand it at first was certainly its author. It has yet to receive adequate mathematical treatment, and one has to resort to the indignity of numerical simulations to settle even the simplest questions about it." *Proving Anderson localization was one of the great problems in mathematical physics in the early 1980s, and E. Scoppola greatly contributed to its solution in the hard case d > 1. On the occasion of her retirement, I will provide a brief overview of the Anderson model and eigenfunction localization, as well as some of the more recent developments. If time allows, I will also try to describe how the basic multiscale analysis underlying the proof of Anderson localization can be applied to other, quite different, contexts. Il seminario si svolgerà in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica dell'Università di Roma Tre, Lungotevere Dante 476, *aula M1*.

Il giorno 23 Ottobre 2025 alle ore 12:30 in Aula G del Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica dell'Università della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, in Viale Lincoln 5 in Caserta, Il Prof. Lauri Viitasaari Professor in Statistics, Mathematics, and Data Science, at Aalto University, School of Business, Finland, terrà il seminario: Title: On data-driven forecasting of financial time series based on SDEs with memory Abstract: In this talk we discuss some approaches for non-linear data driven modeling and forecasting of long memory time series that particularly appear in the context of financial applications. Our approach is based on SDEs that, with general coefficient functions, provides a rich and flexible model class. On top of theoretical results, we illustrate the applicability of our approach with simulation study. Our approach is based on an interplay between analysis, probability, statistics, and machine learning. This talk is based on a joint work with Mahdi Dehshiri and Kerlyns Martinez. -- Per coloro che volessero collegarsi da remoto ecco di seguito il link: Seminario di Lauri Viitasaari | Partecipazione alla riunione | Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3361054135421?p=CKL5LMOMgOzI7Ey69B> Cari saluti Enrica Pirozzi

20 Oct '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (3 Ottobre) in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Simone Baldassarri (Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI)) <https://sites.google.com/view/simonebaldassarri> https://sites.google.com/view/simonebaldassarri Title: How opinions evolve on dense dynamic random graphs Date: October 3, 2025, at 14:30, 2AB40 Abstract: Describing the evolution of dynamic networks together with dynamic processes running on them constitutes a major challenge in network science. Despite considerable efforts in past years, and notable progress on an intuitive and approximative level, our mathematical understanding of such systems is still in its infancy. The focus of this talk will be two-opinion voter models on dense dynamic random graphs. The goal is to understand and describe the occurrence of consensus versus polarisation over long periods of time. The former means that all vertices have the same opinion, the latter means that the vertices split into two communities with different opinions and few disagreeing edges. We consider three models for the joint dynamics of opinions and graphs: one with one-way feedback and two with two-way feedback. Key results cover functional laws of large numbers for the densities of the two opinions, functional laws of large numbers for the dynamic random graphs in the space of graphons, and a characterisation of the limiting densities in terms of Beta-distributions. This talk is based on a joint work with P. Braunsteins, F. den Hollander and Michel Mandjes. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!
