Seminario Andrea Agazzi - Lunedì 22 Aprile - Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario: Lunedì 22 Aprile 2024, ore 16:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza Università di Roma. *Speaker*: Andrea Agazzi (Università di Pisa) *Title*: Random Splitting of Fluid Models: Ergodicity, Convergence and Lyapunov exponents *Abstract: *We consider a family of processes obtained by decomposing the deterministic dynamics associated with some fluid models (e.g. Lorenz 96, 2d Galerkin-Navier-Stokes) into fundamental building blocks - i.e., minimal vector fields preserving some fundamental aspects of the original dynamics - and by sequentially following each vector field for a random amount of time. We characterize some ergodic properties of these stochastic dynamical systems and discuss their convergence to the original deterministic flow in the small noise regime. Finally, we show that the top Lyapunov exponent of these models is positive. This is joint work with Jonathan Mattingly and Omar Melikechi. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Buongiorno, *giovedì 18 Aprile alle ore 15:00,* nell'*aula 24 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza* (ed. CU002, quarto piano) e online al link https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/83831966596?pwd=U1pEclcrZzlFMXppcmVaL1FOaFUydz09 si terrà il seguente seminario: *Speaker: Mariarosa Mazza (Università di Roma, Tor Vergata)* *Titolo: Fractional derivatives and models: some numerical aspects* *Abstract:* Fractional derivatives are a well-established mathematical tool that has received much attention in recent decades due to their non-local behavior, proven to be useful in modeling anomalous diffusion present in various real-world phenomena. Examples include the generation and spread of electrical signals across biological excitable tissues, interactions between particles and fields within a plasma, and network dynamics in human environments. The improvement in describing these phenomena, however, results in a more challenging numerical treatment, requiring specialized strategies, e.g., in terms of discretization methods or numerical solvers. The aim of this talk is to give a little taste of the topic with a focus on the numerical linear algebra difficulties that it poses. Grazie per l'attenzione, cordiali saluti.

Seminar: Francesca Romana Crucinio April 16, 2024, DAIS - Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following *online* seminar *April 16, 2024, 12:15 PM* Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Francesca Romana Crucinio, King's College London *Title*: A connection between Tempering and Entropic Mirror Descent *Abstract:* This talk explores the connections between tempering (for Sequential Monte Carlo; SMC) and entropic mirror descent to sample from a target probability distribution whose unnormalized density is known. We establish that tempering SMC corresponds to entropic mirror descent applied to the reverse Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and obtain convergence rates for the tempering iterates. Our result motivates the tempering iterates from an optimization point of view, showing that tempering can be seen as a descent scheme of the KL divergence with respect to the Fisher-Rao geometry, in contrast to Langevin dynamics that perform descent of the KL with respect to the Wasserstein-2 geometry.

Seminar Tommaso Rosati at Tor Vergata 17.04
by Michele Salvi 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Dear all, On Wednesday, April 17th, at 14h30 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Tommaso Rosati (University of Warwick) with the seminar "Lower bounds to Lyapunov exponents of stochastic PDEs” Abstract: Inspired by problems from fluid dynamics, we introduce an approach to obtain lower bounds to Lyapunov exponents of stochastic PDEs. Our proof relies on the introduction of a Lyapunov functional for the projective process associated to the equation, based on the study of dynamics of energy level sets and on a notion of non-degeneracy of the noise that leads to high-frequency stochastic instability. We address some nonlinear problems. Joint works with A. Blessing , M. Hairer, and (in progress) with M. Hairer, S. Punshon-Smith and J. Yi. We encourage in-person partecipation.

SMF: François Delarue at Milano-Bicocca (Apr 18, 2024)
by Maurizia Rossi 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Dear colleagues, I am glad to announce the following talk which is part of the *"Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano" *activities. Speaker: *François Delarue* (Univ. Côte d'Azur) Title:* Mean field control and games. Some prospects. * *Time and place:* April 18, 2024 - 2:00pm-3:00pm - building U5/room 3014 Dept. of Mathematics and Applications, Univ. Milano-Bicocca. *Abstract:* I will first give a brief overview of the notion of mean-field control and games. In particular, I will focus on the Eulerian formulation, through the notion of master equation, which is a nonlinear PDE on the space of probability measures. This PDE is notoriously difficult to solve, at least in a classical sense, except in cases presenting a form of convexity or monotonicity in the argument of the measure. I will then present two problems outside the convex/monotonic framework: (i) non-convex mean-field control problems and their particle approximation, (ii) mean-field games subject to certain non-standard forms of common noise. Best wishes, Maurizia Rossi -- Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://mauriziarossi.wordpress.com

An afternoon on the spectral theory of pseudo-differential operators
by Enrico Scalas 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

Dear Colleagues, On 9 april 2024 starting from 14:00 in room 34, 4th floor of the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, (building CU002), two seminars on non-local operators will take place. Here is the program. Please feel free to inform interested people. Best regards, Enrico Scalas -- 14:00 - 15:00 Atsuhide Ishida (Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo, Japan) Mourre inequality for non-local Schrödinger operators We consider the Mourre inequality for the following self-adjoint operator $H=\Psi(-\Delta/2)+V$ acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $\Psi: [0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an increasing function, $\Delta$ is the Laplacian and $V: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an interaction potential. Mourre inequality immediately yields the discreteness and finite multiplicity of the eigenvalues. Moreover, the Mourre inequality together with the limiting absorption principle can be used to show absence of the singular continuous spectrum. In addition, Mourre inequality is also used for the proof of the minimal velocity estimate that plays an important role in scattering theory. In this talk, we report that Mourre inequality holds under a general $\Psi$ and $V$ by choosing the conjugate operator $A=(p \cdot x + x \cdot p)/2$ with $p= - i \nabla$, and that the discreteness and finite multiplicity of the eigenvalues hold. This talk is a joint work with J. Lőrinczi (Alfred Rényi Institute) and I. Sasaki (Shinshu University). 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee break 15:30 - 16:30 József Lőrinczi (Alfred Rényi Institute, Budapest, Hungary) Embedded eigenvalues for a class of non-local Schrödinger operators Generally, the spectrum of a non-local Schrödinger operator may be rather intricate, even when they are self-adjoint operators. In this talk I plan to discuss some explicit cases when positive or zero eigenvalues occur, and also address the problem more generally, aiming to describe potentials which can give rise to zero eigenvalues for massive or massless (fractional) relativistic Schrodinger operators. If time permits, I intend to explain how random processes with jumps can be used to analyse such properties. 16:30 - 18:00 Discussion time

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/>) Ricordiamo che oggi, lunedì 8 aprile 2024, Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) ci parleranno di Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi, Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità RIASSUNTO: I semigruppi markoviani quantistici sono essenzialmente semigruppi di operatori positivi su algebre di operatori con le opportune proprietà di continuità e che rafforzano la positività. Appaiono nella letteratura fisica e fisico-matematica alla fine degli anni '60 con il nome di semigruppi dinamici quantistici nella modellizzazione e nell'analisi dei sistemi aperti in meccanica quantistica. Tuttavia, dal punto di vista matematico, costituiscono la naturale generalizzazione dei semigruppi markoviani classici, infatti questi ultimi sono semigruppi di operatori definiti su un'algebra di funzioni, cioè un'algebra di operatori che commutano tra loro. Il modo più naturale per descrivere un sistema quantistico è un’algebra di Von Neumann e la sua evoluzione come una famiglia di operatori debole*-continui, che formino un semigruppo e che abbiano la proprietà di markovianità. Se il sistema è chiuso allora la sua evoluzione è reversibile, altrimenti se interagisce con l’ambiente allora ci potrebbe essere una parte diffusiva. In Fisica, si parla di “decoerenza” quando solo una parte del sistema evolve in maniera automorfica (l’algebra priva di decoerenza, appunto) e una parte “scompare” per tempi lunghi. La nostra ricerca si è focalizzata a lungo su quale definizione di decoerenza sia più adatta e se è possibile trovare condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per il suo verificarsi. Nello studio dei processi (semigruppi) di Markov classici sono fondamentali le nozioni di ricorrenza e comunicazione tra insiemi di stati; mostreremo come questi concetti siano stati generalizzati nel caso noncommutativo e discuteremo alcune delle loro proprietà e relazioni. Particolare attenzione sarà dato al caso in cui l’algebra su cui agisce il semigruppo sia l’insieme di tutti gli operatori lineari limitati che agiscono su uno spazio di Hilbert. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium", per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

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: Marcel Nutz Columbia University (New York) Title: Entropic Selection in Optimal Transport Abstract: The optimal transport problem can admit many solutions, for instance when the cost function is the Euclidean distance on R^d (Monge's problem). On the other hand, entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) always has a unique optimizer. It is a longstanding open problem whether EOT selects some particular optimal transport coupling in the vanishing regularization limit, and what that coupling would look like. We provide a surprising answer for Monge's problem in dimension d > 1. (Joint work with Chenyang Zhong.)

Seminars in Statistics - Varun Jog & Po-Ling Loh
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 12 Aprile 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terranno i seguenti *2 seminari*: ------------------------------------------------ *11.00-12.00* Speaker: Varun Jog (University of Cambridge, UK) Title: *The sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing* Abstract: The sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing is the smallest number of i.i.d. samples required to distinguish between two distributions p and q such that the Type-I and Type-II errors are smaller than some pre-specified thresholds α and β, respectively. Our main contribution is deriving, under mild technical conditions, a formula for the sample complexity in terms of parameters p, q, alpha, and beta, that is tight up to universal multiplicative constants. ------------------------------------------------ *12.00-13.00* Speaker: Po-Ling Loh (University of Cambridge, UK) Title: *Differentially private M-estimation via noisy optimization* Abstract: We present a noisy composite gradient descent algorithm for differentially private statistical estimation in high dimensions. We begin by providing general rates of convergence for the parameter error of successive iterates under assumptions of local restricted strong convexity and local restricted smoothness. Our analysis is local, in that it ensures a linear rate of convergence when the initial iterate lies within a constant-radius region of the true parameter. At each iterate, multivariate Gaussian noise is added to the gradient in order to guarantee that the output satisfies Gaussian differential privacy. We then derive consequences of our theory for linear regression and mean estimation. Motivated by M-estimators used in robust statistics, we study loss functions which downweight the contribution of individual data points in such a way that the sensitivity of function gradients is guaranteed to be bounded, even without the usual assumption that our data lie in a bounded domain. We prove that the objective functions thus obtained indeed satisfy the restricted convexity and restricted smoothness conditions required for our general theory. We then show how the private estimators obtained by noisy composite gradient descent may be used to obtain differentially private confidence intervals for regression coefficients, by leveraging work in Lasso debiasing proposed in high-dimensional statistics. We complement our theoretical results with simulations that illustrate the favorable finite-sample performance of our methods. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire entrambi i seminari anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88987605028?pwd=YXN1akl1bkN3TEFlS3QrMWFDWEF5dz09> I seminari sono organizzati dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

A major reason of this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. The topic of this talk is the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are a relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilberts metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero.

Double Seminar: Federico Camia and Alessandra Bianchi at Tor Vergata 10.04
by Michele Salvi 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

Dear all, On Wednesday, April 10th, at 14h30 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host a double seminar: 14h30 - Federico Camia (NYU Abu Dhabi) “Towards a logarithmic conformal field theory of 2D critical percolation” Abstract: Conformal field theory (CFT) provides a very powerful framework to study the large-scale properties of models of statistical mechanics at their critical point. The prototypical example of this is the continuum (scaling) limit of the two-dimensional critical Ising model. The case of critical percolation is more difficult, partly because its continuum limit is believed to be described by a relatively unusual type of CFT, called a logarithmic CFT. In this talk, I will first briefly explain the statements above. I will then present some recent results and work in progress that are part of a program aimed at fitting percolation within the logarithmic CFT framework. 15h30 - Alessandra Bianchi (Università di Padova) “Mixing cutoff for simple random walks on the Chung-Lu directed graph” Abstract: In this talk, we consider a simple random walk defined on a Chung-Lu directed graph, an inhomogeneous random network that extends the Erdos Renyi random digraph by including edges independently according to given Bernoulli laws. In this non-reversible setting, we will focus on the convergence toward the equilibrium of the dynamics. In particular, under the assumption that the average degree grows logarithmically in the size n of the graph (weakly dense regime), we will establish a cutoff phenomenon at the entropic time of order log(n)/loglog(n). We will then show that on a precise window the cutoff profile converges to the Gaussian tail function. This is qualitatively similar to what was proved in a series of works by Bordenave, Caputo, Salez for the directed configuration model, where degrees are deterministically fixed. In terms of statistical ensembles, this analysis provides an extension of these cutoff results from a hard to a soft-constrained model. Joint work with G. Passuello. We encourage in-person participation.

Seminario Eliseo Luongo - Politecnico di Milano - 4 Aprile 2024
by Luca Scarpa 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 4 Aprile 2024, ore 11:30. Aula Seminari Mox - VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Eliseo Luongo, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa. Title: Global Well-Posedness and Interior Regularity of 2D Navier-Stokes Equations with Stochastic Wind Driven Boundary Conditions. Abstract: Partial differential equations with boundary noise have been introduced by Da Prato and Zabczyck. They showed that, also in the one dimensional case, the solutions of the heat equation with white noise Dirichlet or Neumann Boundary conditions have low regularity compared to the case of noise diffused inside the domain. In particular, in the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions the solution is only a distribution. Some improvements in the analysis of the interior regularity of the solutions of these problems and some nonlinear variants have been obtained exploiting specific properties of the heat kernel and of suitable nonlinearities. All these issues make the problem of treating non-linear partial differential equations with boundary noise coming from fluid dynamical models an, almost untouched, field of open problems. In this talk we discuss the global well-posedness and the interior regularity of a system of 2D Navier-Stokes equations with inhomogeneous stochastic boundary conditions. The noise, white in time and coloured in space, can be interpreted as the physical law describing the driving mechanism on the atmosphere-ocean interface, i.e. as a balance of the shear stress of the ocean and the horizontal wind force. The talk is based on a joint work with A. Agresti.

Seminar: Laura D'Angelo April 09, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *April 09, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Delta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Laura D'Angelo, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Italy) *Title*: Analyzing the activation patterns and heterogeneity of the neuronal response via Bayesian mixture models *Abstract:* The modern technique of calcium imaging is revolutionizing the understanding of the nervous system, thanks to its ability to image the activity of individual neurons over time in freely moving animals. This technology has led to remarkable insights into how neurons process and encode information, both individually and collectively. In this talk, we examine how Bayesian mixture models can help uncover the complex functioning of neurons in different experimental studies. First, we discuss a nested mixture model to analyze how the activity of an individual cell is affected by visual stimuli that vary over time. Then, we move to a multivariate model to identify groups of co-activating neurons, where the information on the anatomical proximity is introduced to inform the clustering procedure. At the basis of both models is a simple but effective state-space formulation that describes the calcium dynamic and relates it to the latent firing events. Through these examples, we show how the Bayesian nonparametric framework is ideal for flexibly modeling the unobserved neuronal activity, identifying patterns of activity, borrowing information across experimental conditions, and including additional knowledge.

Postdoc on the mathematics of supply chain
by Marco Scarsini 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

We have a postdoc position at Luiss University on the mathematics of supply chain. A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory, game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems, machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong expertise in at least one of the above fields. Title of the project: A dynamic analysis of supply-chain networks and their disruption Length of the position: 36 months Gross annual salary: € 36.480,57 Application deadline: 2024/05/03, 14:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) The call for this postdoc can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/uploads/2024/03/Bando-Assegno-Prof.-Scars… The candidates must submit their application online here: https://cloudserverjsa.luiss.it/LGCAssegni/index.zul?CDS=AS4239 ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Luiss University Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY
