Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Christoph Thaele (University of Bochum, Germany)
by Marco Formentin 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on January 28 at 14.30. The seminar will be held online via the Zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Christoph Thaele (University of Bochum, Germany)  Title: Poisson hyperplanes in hyperbolic space  JANUARY 28 (Friday) - 14:30 Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88182977183 (meeting ID 881 8297 7183), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In the focus of this talk are random tessellations in hyperbolic space induced by Poisson point processes on the space of hyperbolic hyperplanes (totally geodesic subspaces of co-dimension 1). In the first part of the talk we consider the so-called k-skeleton of such tessellations and prove that, when observed in a sequence of increasing observation windows, the k-volume of the k-skeleton satisfies a central limit theorem only for dimensions 2 and 3 and that asymptotic normality fails in all higher dimensions. In the second part of the talk we determine the non-Gaussian limiting distribution for the special case k=d-1 and indicate possible generalizations. On behalf of the organizers, Marco Formentin

Each vertex represents an individual which may be susceptible, infected or removed. At the beginning only one node is infected and each node $x$ has a random spread capacity $L_x$. Once infected, the node $x$ becomes an emitter and has $L_x$ attempts to infect other nodes, which are randomly chosen. If the attempt is towards a susceptible node $y$, then $y$ becomes infected, if it is towards an infected or removed node, then $x$ loses an infection attempt. > When $x$ has used all its spread capacity, it becomes removed and no longer interacts with the rest of the population. This model was studied by Comets et al. in the case where the spread capacities are i.i.d. and the nodes which one attempt to infect are chosen uniformly. > We study the case where the population is divided into J types and each type has a possibly different susceptibility, that is, some individuals have a larger probability of being chosen as targets. Also the law of the spread capacity may depend on the type. We obtain a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the duration of the process and the proportion of infected nodes. We prove that when the spread capacity is homogeneous, then a population with inhomogeneous susceptibility is overall less affected by the epidemics than a population with homogeneous susceptibility. > > This is joint work with J.Kampf, E.Sava-Huss and F.Zucca. > > > Webex meeting, meeting link: > > {https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz-de/j.php?MTID=mfb7a477bc53fac8b0a6db53cf1f2690e} > > Meeting number: 2734 226 6767 > > Password: Je3q3w37mJG > > The meeting opens at 10:40, the 50min talk starts at 11:00 > > Organisator/in: W.

Seminario R. Scimone - Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Si avvisa che in data 14-01-2022, alle ore 15:00 precise, si svolgerà online il seguente seminario: Relatore: Riccardo Scimone, Politecnico di Milano Titolo: A look at the spatio-temporal mortality patterns in italy during the covid-19 pandemic through the lens of mortality densities Sommario: With the tools and perspective of Object Oriented Spatial Statistics, we analyze official daily data on mortality from all causes in the provinces and municipalities of Italy for the year 2020, the first of the COVID-19 pandemic. By comparison with mortality data from 2011 to 2019, we assess the local impact of the pandemic as perturbation factor of the natural spatio-temporal death process. For each Italian province and year, mortality data are represented by the densities of time of death during the calendar year. In this talk, the use of a density-on-density functional linear model, formulated to decouple temporal and spatial variability, will be firstly illustrated, followed by a spatial analysis focused on identifying the spatial correlation structure of the death process before and during the pandemic. An anomaly detection framework at the very granular scale of Italian municipalities will also be described. Il link per seguire il seminario sarà reso disponibile su https://mox.polimi.it/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2117 Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy tel: +39 02 2399 4554 fax: +39 02 2399 4568 email: laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> url: http://mox.polimi.it/~sangalli

Reminder: Webinar del Gruppo UMI-PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Carissim*, ricordiamo i prossimi seminari online promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 10 gennaio 2022 ore 16:00 Andrea Pascucci TITLE: Kolmogorov equations: old and new results ABSTRACT: In this talk I present a survey of results about linear and nonlinear equations of Kolmogorov type arising in physics and in mathematical finance. These equations typically satisfy a parabolic Hormander condition and induce rich intrinsic geometric structures. Results about the existence and regularity of solutions are presented. Recent applications to stochastic filtering are also discussed. ore 17:00 Elena Issoglio TITLE: McKean SDEs with singular coefficients ABSTRACT: In this talk we consider a class of SDEs with drift depending on the law density of the solution, known as McKean SDEs. The novelty here is that the drift is singular in the sense that it is `multiplied' by a generalised function (element of a negative fractional Sobolev space). Those equations are interpreted in the sense of a suitable singular martingale problem, thus a key tool is the study of the corresponding singular Fokker-Planck equation. We define the notion of solution to the singular McKean equation and show its existence and uniqueness. This is based on a joint work with F. Russo (ENSTA).

Webinar PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

Buongiorno a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare i prossimi seminari online promossi dal Gruppo UMI- PRISMA: Lunedi’ 10 gennaio 2022, ore 16-18 Andrea Pascucci TITLE: Kolmogorov equations: old and new results ABSTRACT: In this talk I present a survey of results about linear and nonlinear equations of Kolmogorov type arising in physics and in mathematical finance. These equations typically satisfy a parabolic Hormander condition and induce rich intrinsic geometric structures. Results about the existence and regularity of solutions are presented. Recent applications to stochastic filtering are also discussed. Elena Issoglio TITLE: McKean SDEs with singular coefficients ABSTRACT: In this talk we consider a class of SDEs with drift depending on the law density of the solution, known as McKean SDEs. The novelty here is that the drift is singular in the sense that it is `multiplied' by a generalised function (element of a negative fractional Sobolev space). Those equations are interpreted in the sense of a suitable singular martingale problem, thus a key tool is the study of the corresponding singular Fokker-Planck equation. We define the notion of solution to the singular McKean equation and show its existence and uniqueness. This is based on a joint work with F. Russo (ENSTA).

Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat.

Call for abstracts: "Statistical mechanics approaches to earth system dynamics'' EGU Session
by Giulia Carigi 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear Colleagues, with apologies for cross-posting, we would like to draw your attention to the session NP1.1 ``Statistical mechanics approaches to earth system dynamics: invariant measures, response, and large deviations'' to be held as part of the upcoming General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (Vienna, Austria, 3rd to 8th of April 2022). A short description of the session can be found here https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/42646 or at the end of this email. We would be very happy if you could consider submitting an abstract to this session. IMPORTANT: deadline for abstract submission is 12 January 2022, 13:00 CET For further info on abstract submission see here: https://egu22.eu/abstracts_and_programme/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html EGU2022 will be a hybrid conference – more information at https://egu22.eu/about/provisional_meeting_format.html Best wishes, Jochen Broecker (Convener), Vera Melinda Galfi, Giulia Carigi, Georgios Margazoglou, Jeroen Wouters (Co-Conveners) SESSION DESCRIPTION: The equations governing the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean provide us with an enormously powerful tool to understand and predict the future evolution of these dynamics. By integrating these equations forward in time from a given initial condition, we are able to produce highly realistic trajectories of the earth system's temporal evolution. A number of scientific questions however consider the statistical behaviour of solution ensembles, with the heterogeneity coming from different (yet ``typical'') initial conditions or random external forces. Examples are questions related to the global mean temperature or rainfall, the frequency of extreme events, but also questions regarding the average predictability of the system or its susceptibility to external perturbations. Statistical mechanics provides a framework in which such questions can be addressed. Rather than considering individual solutions, randomness and uncertainty are introduced to describe the ensemble of solutions in a probabilistic manner. This statistical mechanics approach to earth system dynamics will be the theme of this session. Contributions will cover a broad range of aspects from theory to applications and from mathematics to climate science. Topics include: * Novel mathematical techniques from the theory of stochastic processes and PDE's * Examples of ideas and methods from statistical mechanics being applied to the earth system (including, but not limited to, linear response, model reduction, large deviations and related algorithms) * Potential future applications, for instance in downscaling, data assimilation and parametrisations ----------------------------------------------------------------- Giulia Carigi, Postdoctoral Research Fellow Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Reading, UK

Seminar by A. Picarelli in Padova (this Friday)!
by Giorgia Callegaro 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear all, it is a pleasure to announce the forthcoming seminar by *Athena Picarelli* (Università di Verona), which will be held *in person* room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department (Torre Archimede) of the University of Padova and online, via Zoom, this Friday. Here are the details: * Date and time: 17 December, 14.30 pm * Title: *Optimal management of pumped hydroelectric production with state constrained optimal control* * Abstract: We present a novel technique to solve the problem of managing optimally a pumped hydroelectric storage system. This technique relies on representing the system as a stochastic optimal control problem with state constraints, these latter corresponding to the finite volume of the reservoirs. Following the recent level-set approach presented in O. Bokanowski, A. Picarelli, H. Zidani, State-constrained stochastic optimal control problems via reachability approach, SIAM J. Control and Optim. 54 (5) (2016), we transform the original constrained problem in an auxiliary unconstrained one in augmented state and control spaces, obtained by introducing an exact penalization of the original state constraints. The latter problem is fully treatable by classical dynamic programming arguments. * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Thanks for your attention and see you soon in Padova, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Seminar in Statistics LORENZO MASOERO
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Dicembre 2021, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Lorenzo Masoero *(Amazon) Title: *Improved prediction and optimal sequencing strategies for genomic variant discovery via Bayesian nonparametrics* Abstract:Despite the advent of Big Data, data-gathering in many domains can still be an expensive process that necessitates careful planning when operating under a fixed, limited budget. For instance, sequencing new genomic data is a complex procedure that requires careful tuning: researchers can spend resources to sequence a greater number of genomes (quantity), or spend resources to sequence genomes with increased accuracy (quality). In this talk, I consider the common setting in which scientists have already conducted a pilot study to reveal variants in a genome and are contemplating a follow-up study. Spending additional resources has the potential to reveal new variations in the genome, and thereby new genetic insights. Therefore, practitioners are interested in (i) predicting how many new discoveries they will make under different experimental design choices. In turn, they can leverage these predictions to optimally allocate available resources in the design of a future experiment, e.g. (ii) to maximize the number of future discoveries or (iii) to optimize the usefulness of a future experiment for the task at hand, e.g. the power of an associated statistical test. I discuss novel methodologies to solve the problems mentioned above. Our approach relies on a Bayesian nonparametric formulation that facilitates (i) prediction for the number of new variants in the follow-up study based on the pilot study. We show empirically that, when experimental conditions are kept constant between the pilot and follow-up, our method's prediction is competitive with the best existing methods. Unlike current methods, though, our new method allows practitioners to change experimental conditions between the pilot and the follow-up. We demonstrate how this distinction allows our method to be used for more realistic predictions and for optimal allocation of a fixed budget between quality and quantity. In particular, we first show how, under a fixed budget, my predictions can be used to maximize (ii) the number of new genomic variants discovered in a follow-up study. Last, we show how our framework can guide practitioners in other experimental design problems, and specifically how to achieve (iii) the highest possible power in statistical tests in the context of rare variants association studies. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/jVPLoDCQ1ANSB5dg8 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88971670320?pwd=VXFseHNlYm5EKzFmZ25oTGdlRWw4QT09> Meeting ID: 889 7167 0320 Passcode: 362208 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

(PMS)^2 online talk: Martin Huesmann (Dec 13, 5:30pm)
by Mario Maurelli 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Martin Huesmann* (Universität Münster) *Title*: A fluctuation result for the optimal matching problem *Abstract*: The optimal matching problem is one of the classical random optimization problems. While the asymptotic behavior of the expected cost is well understood only little is known for the asymptotic behavior of the optimal couplings - the solutions to the optimal matching problem. In this talk we show that at all mesoscopic scales the displacement under the optimal coupling converges in suitable Sobolev spaces to a Gaussian field which can be identified as the curl-free part of a vector Gaussian free field. Based on joint work with Michael Goldman. Date and time: *Monday December 13, 17:30-18:30* (Rome time zone) *Zoom link*: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8342220461 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. For more information see the dedicated webpage: https://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/ Participation is free and welcome! Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Reminder -- Online Quantitative Finance Seminars @SNS, December 10, 2021
by Giulia Livieri 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Dear all, We would like to announce the following two Online Seminars @SNS: *December 10, 2021 at 3PM (CEST)* *Speaker: *Prof. Agostino Capponi (Columbia University) *Title: * The Adoption of Blockchain-based Decentralized Exchanges (joint work with Dr. Ruizhe Jia) *Abstract: *We show that the blockchain order execution mechanism and liquidity pooling create arbitrage rents in decentralized exchanges. The arbitrage rent raises the cost of liquidity provision and imposes negative externalities on users of the underlying blockchain. In equilibrium, automated market makers (AMMs) are adopted by liquidity providers only if exchange rates of token pairs are sufficiently stable. A pricing curve with higher curvature reduces arbitrage rents, but also decreases trading activities. We provide statistical support for our main model implications using transaction-level data of AMMs. *Link: * https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NjAyODk0YzQtNmVmYS00… We are looking forward to seeing you at the seminars! Best regards, Giulia

And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional data, which require low-dimensional representations whether by functional PCA or other methods. The difficulty is that the determination is to be made on the basis of i.i.d. replications of the process observed discretely and with measurement error contamination. This adds a ridge to the empirical covariance, obfuscating the underlying dimension. We describe a matrix-completion inspired test statistic that circumvents this issue by measuring the best possible least square fit of the empirical covariance's off-diagonal elements, optimised over covariances of given finite rank. For a fixed grid of sufficiently large size, we determine the statistic's asymptotic null distribution as the number of replications grows. We then use it to construct a bootstrap implementation of a stepwise testing procedure controlling the family-wise error rate corresponding to the collection of hypotheses formalising the question at hand. Under minimal regularity assumptions we prove that the procedure is consistent and that its bootstrap implementation is valid. The procedure circumvents smoothing and associated smoothing parameters, is indifferent to measurement error heteroskedasticity, and does not assume a low-noise regime. Based on joint work with Anirvan Chakraborty. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Webinars PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Buon pomeriggio a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA: - Lunedi’ 6 dicembre 2021 ore 16-18 - ore 16, Giulia Di Nunno Titolo: On time changed Lévy noises in modelling, dynamics and control Abstract: The study of time change lays at the intersection of probability and statistics and have interesting potential in the modelling of different phenomena. These models are appealing, since they seem quite close to classical Lévy structures, often easy to simulate, though they are still statistically very different, as they may loose important properties, such as independent increments and Markovianity. It clearly all depends on the time change applied! When it comes to stochastic calculus, stochastic dynamics, and control, we shall see how the use of the interplay of partial information techniques and enlargement of filtrations can help dealing with such dynamics. - ore 17, Alessandra Cretarola Titolo: Optimal reinsurance and investment under common shock dependence between the financial and the actuarial market Abstract: We study the optimal proportional reinsurance and investment strategy for an insurance company which experiences both ordinary and catastrophic claims and wishes to maximize the expected exponential utility of its terminal wealth. We propose a model where the insurance framework is affected by environmental factors, and aggregate claims and stock prices are subject to common shocks, i.e. drastic events such as earthquakes, extreme weather conditions, or even pandemics, that have an immediate impact on the financial market and simultaneously induce insurance claims. Using the classical stochastic control approach based on the Hamilton-Jacobi- Bellman equation, we provide a verification result for the value function via classical solutions to two backward partial differential equations and characterize the optimal strategy. Finally, we discuss the effect of the common shock dependence via a comparison analysis.

Corso FREQUENTIST LIMITS FROM BAYESIAN STATISTICS
by Matteo Ruggiero 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting <https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting> il programma completo per il presente a.a.), con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- Bas KLEIJN (University of Amsterdam) FREQUENTIST LIMITS FROM BAYESIAN STATISTICS We look at the role that the posterior can play in frequentist statistics, with special attention for large-sample limits. There exists an intimate relationship between hypothesis testing and concentration of posterior measure, which combines with a notion called remote contiguity to obtain frequentist convergence results from sequences of Bayesian posterior measures. We shall cover frequentist forms of posterior consistent estimation, rates of posterior convergence, as well as asymptotic uncertainty quantification by enlargement of credible sets and hypothesis testing/model selection with Bayes factors. Plan of the course: eight lectures of 45 minutes each: Lec I - Bayesian Basics (Frequentist/Bayesian formalisms, estimation, coverage, testing) Lec II - The Bernstein-von Mises theorem (Limit shape in smooth parametric models, semi-parametrics) Lec III - Bayes and the Infinite (Consistency, Doob’s theorem, Schwartz’s theorem) Lec IV - Posterior contraction (Barron, Walker, Ghosh-Ghosal-van der Vaart theorems) Lec V - Tests and posteriors (Testing and posterior concentration, Doob’s theorem) Lec VI - Frequentist validity of Bayesian limits (Remote contiguity and frequentist limits) Lec VII - Posterior uncertainty quantification (How confidence sets arise from credible sets) Lec VIII - Uniform and pointwise tests (Which hypotheses are asymptotically testable and which are not?) Time permitting, we shall also consider Lec IX - Bayesian tests and posterior model selection (Model selection with posteriors, some examples) -------------------------------------- L'iniziativa è rivolta agli studenti del secondo anno della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati. Il corso si svolgerà in presenza nell’aula 30, terzo piano, C.so Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino (qui https://www.unito.it/ateneo/gli-speciali/coronavirus-aggiornamenti-la-comun… <https://www.unito.it/ateneo/gli-speciali/coronavirus-aggiornamenti-la-comun…> i requisiti per l’accesso come ingressi occasionali) secondo il seguente calendario: - mar 30 Novembre, h.14-16 - mer 1 Dicembre, h.14-16 - mar 7 Dicembre, h.14-16 - gio 9 Dicembre, h.11.15-13 e sarà trasmesso in diretta streaming (senza registrazione) tramite la seguente riunione Webex, valida per tutte le lezioni: https://unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MTID=m508322b370362bfd0618d768e4772ac0 <https://unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MTID=m508322b370362bfd0618d768e4772ac0> Numero riunione: 2733 233 8719 Password: 9ahN5DGFRU3 Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/>
