Padova Online Seminar by Chiara Franceschini (IST Lisbona) [Friday, Apr. 16 at 12.00]
by alessandra bianchi 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on April 16 at 12.00 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Chiara Franceschini (IST Lisbona) Title: The symmetric inclusion process: some properties and scaling limit 16 APRIL (Friday) - 12:00 zoom link: TBA available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: The symmetric inclusion process (SIP) is an interacting particle system discovered as the dual process of a Markov diffusion that conserves the total energy, it can be tough as the inclusion counterpart of the well-known exclusion process. In this talk, I will present the model with an open boundary, i.e. with two reservoirs which create a flux of particles in the bulk putting the model in a non-equilibrium setting. We will see that via the duality property, we can characterize some correlations of its stationary measure in non-equilibrium and we will also see what are, in this open setting, the so-called hydrodynamic and hydrostatic limit. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Seminar announcement Thursday 22 - Optimal constrained and unconstrained subgraph structures (prof. Clara Stegehuis)
by Gianmarco Bet 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Dear colleagues, On April Thursday 22 at 14:30, prof. Clara Stegehuis (Twente University) will give a virtual seminar “in Florence”, to which you are all invited. You can find title and abstract below. Title: Optimal constrained and unconstrained subgraph structures Abstract: Subgraphs contain important information about network structures and their functions. We investigate the presence of subgraphs in a random graph model with infinite-variance degrees. We introduce an optimization problem which identifies the dominant structure of any given subgraph. The unique optimizer describes the degrees of the vertices that together span the most likely subgraph and allows us to count and characterize the asymptotic number of subgraphs in a simple manner. We then show that this optimization problem easily extends to investigating other random network structures, such as clustering, which expresses the probability that two neighbors of a vertex are connected. The optimization problem is able to find the behavior of network subgraphs in a wide class of random graph models. The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below.

online seminar - Angelo Lucia - Mixing time of quantum Gibbs samplers
by Carbone Raffaella 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Dear colleagues, it is our pleasure to invite you to the following seminar Speaker: *Angelo Lucia* Title: *Mixing time of quantum Gibbs samplers* Time: Wednesday, *April 14*, 5PM (Italian time) The abstract follows below in this message. Zoom Link for the seminar <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86771523774?pwd=SitEVEhPSGRlaEkxTHZmQk9rTmlLZz09> The seminar is a satellite activity of the PhD course "Introduction to coercive inequalities with applications in analysis and probability theory" (professor Boguslaw Zegarlinski - Imperial College, London) Best regards, Raffaella Carbone Abstract. Gibbs samplers are Markovian semigroups whose evolution converges towards the termal equilibrium of a given Hamiltonian (the Gibbs state). The time that the evolution takes, in the worst case, to converge close to the thermal state is known as the mixing time. Knowing the mixing time of a process is useful for many applications, and it can be estimated with various functional inequalities. In the case of classical spin systems on a lattice, it was shown that it is possible to determine the mixing properties of the semigroup from some "static" clustering condition of the thermal state. This suggests the question of whether the same is true for quantum spin systems. In this talk, I will focus on the specific case of Gibbs states of commuting Hamiltonians, and present some recent result in this direction. I will introduce the notion of quantum conditional relative entropy and show how it can be used to prove quasi-factorization (or approximate tensorization) properties of the quantum relative entropy. I will then show how these can be used to bound log-Sobolev constants for product semigroups with heath-bath generators, and under stronger assumptions in more general situations. -- Raffaella Carbone, PhD Probabilità e Statistica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia

Pisa Online Seminars - Laure Dumaz and Martin Vogel (Tuesday, April 13 at 16:00 and 17:00)
by Giacomo Filippo Di Gesu 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa. The two talks will be accessible under the link Click here to join the meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3Aaf3d635091e049579e555a84219a…> Best regards, Giacomo Tuesday, April 13, 16:00 Speaker: Laure Dumaz (École Normale supérieure) Title: Localization of the continuous Anderson hamiltonian in 1-d and its transition towards delocalization. Abstract: We consider the continuous Schrödinger operator - d^2/d^x^2 + B’(x) on the interval [0,L] where the potential B’ is a white noise. We study the entire spectrum of this operator in the large L limit. We prove the joint convergence of the eigenvalues and of the eigenvectors and describe the limiting shape of the eigenvectors for all energies. When the energy is much smaller than L, we find that we are in the localized phase and the eigenvalues are distributed as a Poisson point process. The transition towards delocalization holds for large eigenvalues of order L. In this regime, we show the convergence at the level of operators. The limiting operator in the delocalized phase is acting on R^2-valued functions and is of the form ``J \partial_t + 2*2 noise matrix'' (where J is the matrix ((0, -1)(1, 0))), a form appearing as a conjecture by Edelman Sutton (2006) for limiting random matrices. Joint works with Cyril Labbé. Tuesday, April 13, 17:00 Speaker: Martin Vogel (Université de Strasbourg) Title: Eigenvalue asymptotics and eigenvector localization for non-Hermitian noisy Toeplitz matrices Abstract: A most notable characteristic of non-Hermitian matrices is that their spectra can be intrinsically sensitive to tiny perturbation. Although this spectral instability causes the numerical analysis of their spectra to be extremely unreliable, it has recently been shown to be also the source of new mathematical phenomena. I will present recent results about the eigenvalues asymptotics and eigenvector localization for deterministic non-Hermitian Toeplitz matrices with small additive random perturbations. These results are related to recent developments in the theory of partial differential equations. The talk is based on joint work with J. Sjöstrand, and with A. Basak and O. Zeitouni. ************************ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it<mailto:giacomo.digesu@unipi.it> https://sites.google.com/site/giacomodigesu/

Cari Colleghi lunedì prossimo 12 Aprile dalle 16 alle 18 avrà luogo il prossimo incontro per il ciclo di seminari Prisma. Gli speaker saranno Marco Fuhrman e Andrea Cosso, qui sotto titoli, abstract ed il link al collegamento Teams. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Marco Fuhrman (Università di Milano) Title: A new tool in stochastic optimal control: the randomization method. Abstract: In the first part of this talk I will present a survery on the relationships among classical stochastic optimal control problems, non-linear partial differential equations (the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations) and backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). In the second part, more specifically, I will introduce the so-called randomization method, which allows to associate an appropriate BSDE to a large class of optimal control problems. Among the possible generalizations, I will concentrate on optimal control of path-dependent equations, i.e. equations with general with memory effects. Speaker: Andrea Cosso (Università di Bologna) Title: Randomization method and path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation Abstract: In the present talk I will study a stochastic optimal control problem with path-dependent coefficients. I will exploit the so-called randomization method to derive a dynamic programming principle for the value function. This allows to prove that the value function is a viscosity solution to a path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, involving the horizontal and vertical derivatives of functional Ito calculus. Finally, I will discuss the validity of the comparison principle for such a partial differential equation.

WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 9 Aprile 2021, alle ore 12.00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Gilles Stupfler *(ENSAI Rennes and CREST, France) Title: *Asymmetric least squares techniques for extreme risk estimation* Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81720792366?pwd=QWtaYVRRejVSVGlOMXFMaDdsemxjdz09 Meeting ID: 817 2079 2366 Passcode: 241135 Abstract: Financial and actuarial risk assessment is typically based on the computation of a single quantile (or Value-at-Risk). One drawback of quantiles is that they only take into account the frequency of an extreme event, and in particular do not give an idea of what the typical magnitude of such an event would be. Another issue is that they do not induce a coherent risk measure, which is a serious concern in actuarial and financial applications. In this talk, I will explain how, starting from the formulation of a quantile as the solution of an optimisation problem, one may come up with two alternative families of risk measures, called expectiles and extremiles. I will give a broad overview of their properties, as well as of their estimation at extreme levels in heavy-tailed models, and explain why they constitute sensible alternatives for risk assessment using some real data applications. This is based on joint work with Abdelaati Daouia, Irène Gijbels, Stéphane Girard and Antoine Usseglio-Carleve. ------------------------------------------------ Il webinar 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/>

Kind regards, Gianmarco Title: Reciprocity in a Preferential Attachment Network Abstract: Empirical studies show that online social networks have not only in- and out-degree distributions with Pareto-like tails, but also a high proportion of reciprocal edges. A classical directed preferential attachment (PA) model generates in- and out-degree distribution with power-law tails, but theoretical properties of the reciprocity feature in this model have not yet been studied. We derive the asymptotic results on the number of reciprocal edges between two fixed nodes, as well as the proportion of reciprocal edges in the entire PA network. We see that with certain choices of parameters, the proportion of reciprocal edges in a directed PA network is close to 0, which differs from the empirical observation. This points out one potential problem of fitting a classical PA model to a given network dataset with high reciprocity, and indicates alternative models need to be considered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gianmarco Bet (he/him) Junior researcher https://gianmarco.bet Phone: (+39) 055 2751491 Department of Mathematics and Informatics "U.

24 Mar '21

Buongiorno, vi inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani, che riguarderà il modello $\phi^4_3$. Quello di domani sarà l'ultimo OWPS prima della pausa di Pasqua. Il OWPS riprenderà dopo le vacanze (credo il 15 Aprile) con moderatori Nina Gantert and Julien Berestycki.

The aim of this series of two talks is to discuss the infinite volume limit and the emergence of phase transitions for this model: we will show that in a certain parameter regime, the model exhibits a phase segregation behaviour, akin to the low temperature phase of the Ising model. In the first lecture I will put our result into perspective by first discussing the connection of continuous $\phi^4$ and discrete Ising models as well as the phase segregation in low temperature Ising models. I will then discuss a variational approach to estimating the $\phi^4$ partition function, which is due to Barashkov and Gubinelli and a key ingredient of our method. Based on Chandra, Gunaratnam, Weber, arXiv:2006.15933. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Trish Gunaratnam (University of Geneva) Title: Phase transitions for $\phi^4_3$ - Part 2 Abstract: In this talk I will continue to discuss phase transitions for $\phi^4_3$. I will establish a surface order large deviations estimate for the average magnetisation at sufficiently low temperatures in large but finite volumes. This immediately gives an upper bound on the decay of the spectral gap for the associated $\phi^4_3$ singular SPDE in the infinite volume limit. At the heart of this result are the development of Peierls’ contour bounds for $phi^4_3$, which requires control over the small-scale divergences and the low temperature Hamiltonian. We achieve this by incorporating a low temperature expansion, inspired by Glimm, Jaffe, and Spencer’s classical work on $\phi^4_2$, within the variational representation of the $\phi^4_3$ via coarse-graining. Based on Chandra, Gunaratnam, Weber, arXiv:2006.15933. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82058081391?pwd=MWZTNEpZY2I3NEtYa0tFczdTenR0QT09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Meeting ID: 820 5808 1391 Passcode: 493605 Please feel free to circulate this email.

Sussex probability seminar
by Enrico Scalas 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Dear Colleagues, Next Monday 29th March at 11am, we’ll have an online probability seminar with a talk given by Nicholas Simm. Title: The characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix: from secular coefficients to holomorphic multiplicative chaos Description: I will begin by introducing some basic questions / historical tidbits regarding eigenvalue statistics of random matrices. Then I will discuss some recent work concerning limit theorems for secular coefficients of random unitary matrices, which are the Fourier coefficients of the characteristic polynomial. This draws on ideas from Gaussian multiplicative chaos on the one hand, but also combinatorial structures such as magic squares and random permutations make an appearance. This is joint work with Joseph Najnudel (Bristol) and Elliot Paquette (McGill) , pre-print: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.01823.pdf. If you are interested in attending, please write to Dr Minmin Wang ( minmin.wang(a)sussex.ac.uk) for the Zoom link. Best wishes, Enrico Scalas

International Conference in Venice on COMPOUND RISK - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

20th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2021 *Compound Risk: Climate, Disaster, Finance, Pandemic * Venice, Italy 23 –24 September 2021 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *European Datawarehouse *(Frankfurt, Germany), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg), *European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 23-24, 2021. The Conference CREDIT 2021 will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and credit risk with the aim to create a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy and industry-relevant insights as well as directions for future research. Credit 2021 is the *twentieth *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy). The theme of this year’s conference is the relation between financial risk on the one hand and pandemic, climate and disaster risk, on the other hand, with particular attention to the possible compounding of different sources of risk. The past year, 2020, has been marked by the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis, which has shown how fragile our economic systems can be when confronted with shocks that threaten public health and the closeness of the connections between economic and financial risks and public policy. Climate change is now widely recognized as a new source of financial risk which is relevant both at the level of households and individual institutions and the systemic level. In particular, the many central banks and financial institutions that have joined the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) have issued recommendations on how to integrate climate considerations into risk management strategies and practices. However, risks such as pandemics and climate change do not occur in isolation but can also compound, as has already been seen in several countries. The compounding of risk, which is currently poorly understood, increases the complexity of risk assessment and risk management, and it has implications for socio-economic development, as well as for public debt sustainability. In the EU, these aspects have major implications for efforts to increase the resilience of the economy to future shocks and to “build back better”, and requires the alignment of COVID-19 recovery policies, such as those supported by the NextGenerationEU, and the EU Green Deal and the Paris Agreement targets. The organizers of CREDIT 2021 encourage submissions on a range of topics of relevance to this year’s theme including: finance and COVID-19; finance and climate risks; finance and compound COVID-19 and climate risks. In particular, submissions are welcome in the following areas: • INVESTMENTS: Sustainable Finance, Disaster risk finance; Finance 4 good; public finance; blended finance. • POLICIES: Climate Policies, European Green New Deal; Next Generation EU; Recovery Plan. • INFORMATION: Data gaps; modelling challenges; risk transmission channels; uncertainty; complexity. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Vittoria Colizza *(INSERM, France), *Robert Engle *(Stern Business School, New York University) and *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) who will deliver keynotes, respectively on finance and on epidemics. The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: • * Stefano Battiston *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & University of Zurich, Programme Chair) • * Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) • * Francesca Campolongo *(Joint Research Center, European Commission) • *Vittoria Colizza* (INSERM, France) • * Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) • * Jan Pieter Krahnen* (Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University, Frankfurt) • *Irene Monasterolo *(Vienna University of Economics and Business) • *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven & CEPR) • *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) • *Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2021 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *June 30, 2021*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2021. Please send papers to: GRETA Associati, San Polo, 2605 - 30125 Venice, ITALY Phone : +39 041 5238178 - e-mail: credit(a)greta.it <mailto:credit@greta.it> More detailed information available on the Conference website: https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2021 <https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2021>

LTI@Unito Webinars: March 1, Massimiliano Caporin | March 2, Roberto Renò
by Luca Regis 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, || |LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti <www.carloalberto.org/lti>) and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinars in Mathematical Finance: | | *March 1, 2021 | 17:00-18:00* *“Do jumps matter in Realized Volatility modeling and forecasting? Empirical evidence and a new model”* *Massimiliano Caporin, University of Padova* *Abstract*: Building on an extensive empirical analysis I investigate the relevance of jumps and signed variations in predicting Realized Volatility. I show that properly accounting for intra-day volatility patterns and staleness sensibly reduces the identified jumps. Realized Variance decompositions based on intra-day return size and sign improve the in-sample fit of the models commonly adopted in empirical studies. I also introduce a novel specification based on a more informative decomposition of Realized Volatility, which offers improvements over standard models. From a forecasting perspective, the empirical evidence I report shows that most models, irrespective of their flexibility, are statistically equivalent in many cases. This result is confirmed with different samples, liquidity levels, forecast horizons and possible transformations of the dependent and explanatory variables. *Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82672618584?pwd=VWdNeWhEc1pyVjJCQ3pucEhtb1BxUT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82672618584?pwd=VWdNeWhEc1pyVjJCQ3pucEhtb1BxUT09>* Meeting ID: 826 7261 8584 Passcode: 599584 ------ *March 2, 2021 | 12:00-13:15 * *“V-shapes”* *Roberto Renò, University of Verona* *Abstract*: An insidious form of market inefficiency, by which prices lose their informativeness and wealth is distributed arbitrarily, translates into V-shapes, that is sudden changes of the sign of the price drift. We use this insight to develop a new tool for the detection of reverting drift, the V-statistic. We apply this tool to (i) quantify the extent of this kind of market inefficiency in the U.S. stock market during the Covid-19 pandemic; and (ii) show the harmful consequences of V-shapes on financial stability by estimating the huge loss suffered by Italian taxpayers (0.45B euros) in May 2018, when a transient crash hit the secondary bond market during a Treasury auction. /Joint with Maria Flora./ *Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590058916?pwd=VEowc2NUcm5rNmtFdWQ0MlMxUEVLQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590058916?pwd=VEowc2NUcm5rNmtFdWQ0MlMxUEVLQT09>* Meeting ID: 825 9005 8916 Passcode: 055411 We look forward to your participation! | -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti ||

Padova Online Seminar by Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) [Friday, Mar. 26 at 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on March 26 at 14.30 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) Title: Phase transitions in sparse random graphs and coagulation processes 26 MARCH (Friday) - 14:30 zoom link: TBA available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: Sparse inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos Rényi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are independent but distributed according to the type of the vertices that they are connecting. These graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdos Rényi model. In this talk we will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes coagulation processes and the phase transition of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is an ongoing joint work with Wolfgang Koenig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Robert Patterson (WIAS) and Heide Langhammer (TU Berlin). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Buongiorno inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani, che sarà focalizzato sul metodo di Stein (anche con applicazioni alla statistica). Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 17 mar 2021 alle ore 12:06 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday March 18, 2021 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are (Note: all times are in UTC. *Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location*) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Yvik Swan (Université Libre de Bruxelles) Title: Stein’s density approach Abstract: Stein’s method is a collection of tools allowing to obtain explicit (non-asymptotic) bounds on discrepancies between probability distributions. The heart of the method is a so-called “Stein operator”, and it is the objective of this talk to present the basic theory behind these operators, and also cover some applications of the theory. After presenting the general theory (with a focus on Stein’s so-called density approach), we will give details on the 1-dimensional case, hereby connecting with classical topics such as Covariance and Poincaré inequalities. The material covered in the talk is closely related to work with Marie Ernst, Christophe Ley, Guillaume Mijoule and Gesine Reinert. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Gesine Reinert (University of Oxford) Title: Stein’s method for multivariate continuous distributions and some statistical applications Abstract: Stein’s method can be viewed as employing an operator which action characterises a distribution uniquely, relating this operator to test functions through a Stein equation, and comparing distributions by taking expectations of this Stein equation. Using the density approach for Stein’s method, this talk will present a general framework for Stein’s method for multivariate continuous distributions. For any given nontrivial distribution this approach leads to an infinite collection of Stein characterisations which can be used to assess distributional distances. We shall apply this framework to compare posterior distributions which arise from the same model but using different priors. Using the notion of a weak Stein equation, bounds on distributional distances based on Lipschitz test functions are obtained if the distribution admits a Poincare’ constant. This result will be used to compare copulas. Finally, using the notion of a Stein kernel, we shall extend Stein’s shrinkage results and Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimate (SURE) to non-Gaussian distributions. This talk is based on joint work with Max Fathi, Larry Goldstein, Adrien Saumard, and of course Yvik Swan. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/81951703647?pwd=QUR4M0QraDFTZG5qY0VvVmVoS0pnZz09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Meeting ID: 819 5170 3647 Passcode: 614352 Please feel free to circulate this email.

Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa.

While approximating, we make an error which is small over small time-intervals but it typically compounds over longer time-horizons. Hence, in general, the approximation error grows in time so that the results of our ``predictions" are less reliable when we look at longer time-hormizons. However this is not necessarily the case and one may be able to find dynamics and corresponding approximation procedures for which the error remains bounded, uniformly in time. We will discuss a very general approach to understand when this is possible. I will show how the approach we take is very broad and show how it can be used for all of the approximation procedures mentioned above. This is based on a series of joint works with a number of people: L. Angeli, J. Barre', D. Crisan, P. Dobson, I. Souttar and E. Zatorska. Tuesday, March 23, 17:00 Speaker: Andrea Agazzi (Duke University) Title: Large deviations for stochastic models of chemical reaction networks Abstract: At the microscopic level, the dynamics of arbitrary networks of chemical reactions can be modeled as jump Markov processes whose sample paths converge, in the limit of large number of molecules, to the solutions of a set of algebraic ordinary differential equations. Fluctuations around these asymptotic trajectories and the corresponding phase transitions can in principle be studied through large deviations theory in path space, also called Wentzell-Freidlin (W-F) theory. However, the specific form of the jump rates for this family of processes does not satisfy the standard regularity assumptions imposed by such theory. This talk discusses how such conditions can be relaxed. In this talk, I will discuss sufficient stability and nondegeneracy conditions on the given family of Markov jump processes to obtain the desired large deviations estimates, and show how some of these conditions can be translated into structural ones, facilitating their verification for large chemical networks. ************************ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it<mailto:giacomo.digesu@unipi.it> https://sites.google.com/site/giacomodigesu/

Seminar announcement Thursday 25 - Reciprocity in a Preferential Attachment Network (prof. Tiandong Wang)
by Gianmarco Bet 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, On March Thursday 25 at 16:00, prof. Tiandong Wang (Texas A&M) will give a virtual seminar “in Florence”, to which you are all invited. You can find title and abstract below. Title: Reciprocity in a Preferential Attachment Network Abstract: Empirical studies show that online social networks have not only in- and out-degree distributions with Pareto-like tails, but also a high proportion of reciprocal edges. A classical directed preferential attachment (PA) model generates in- and out-degree distribution with power-law tails, but theoretical properties of the reciprocity feature in this model have not yet been studied. We derive the asymptotic results on the number of reciprocal edges between two fixed nodes, as well as the proportion of reciprocal edges in the entire PA network. We see that with certain choices of parameters, the proportion of reciprocal edges in a directed PA network is close to 0, which differs from the empirical observation. This points out one potential problem of fitting a classical PA model to a given network dataset with high reciprocity, and indicates alternative models need to be considered. The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below. Topic: Tiandong Wang - Reciprocity in a Preferential Attachment Network Time: Mar 25, 2021 04:00 PM Rome https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82762436142?pwd=MW45SWN6NTBqV0VWbVJWREhESmtaZz09 Meeting ID: 827 6243 6142 Passcode: 897951 If you know of someone who might be interested and is not subscribed to the random mailing list, please do not hesitate to forward this announcement to them.

A sequence of 0-1 valued experiments on the population with outcomes X_1,..., X_n is called partially exchangeable if the only relevant information in the data is the number of 1's in each category. de Finetti's representation result guarantees that the distribution of the X's (for n<<N) is in bijection with measures pi^{(n)} on [0,1]^d. Natural problems -- such as understanding which of the subdivisions are truly meaningful and what is the effect of our initial belief pi^{(0)} -- can be addressed if one knows how to sample efficiently from these measures. In the absence of further information about the experiments, de Finetti suggests starting with a class of priors pi^{(0)}_{C,A} indexed by a d-dimensional network (measuring the relative differences among categories) and a positive parameter A (measuring the belief in complete exchangeability). in this talk I will analyze the performance of Gibbs sampling in approximating these measures in the almost exchangeable regime (A>>1). It will be shown that A^2 steps are necessary and sufficient to mix in a certain Wasserstein distance, with constants depending on few spectral parameters of the network C. This is based on joint work with Gerencsér. ------------------------------------------------ Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto e rientra nel Complex Data Modeling Research Network midas.mat.uc.cl/network Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Buongiorno inoltro l'annuncio per il OWPS di domani, che sarà relazionato alla biologia. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 10 mar 2021 alle ore 09:32 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday March 11, 2021 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are (Note: all times are in UTC. *Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location*) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Viet Chi Tran (Université Gustave Eiffel) Title: Limit Theorems for Historical Particle Systems Abstract: To describe the evolving phylogenies of a birth and death process with trait structure and ecological interactions, we build a historical process inspired by works by Dawson and Perkins (1991 and 1995): it is a càdlàg process whose value at time t is a measure on lineages stopped at this time, i.e. paths describing the trait ancestries of the individuals living at time t. The dynamics may depend on past traits and allows interactions between individuals through their lineages. We establish the convergence of the individual-based birth-death process to a nonlinear historical superprocess, under the assumptions of large populations, small individuals and allometric demographies. The limit is described here by a macroscopic martingale problem. Because of the interactions, the branching property fails and we use fine couplings between our population and independent branching particles. This is a joint work with Sylvie Méléard. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Sylvie Méléard (École Polytechnique, Paris) Title: Historical Processes and Dynamics of Phylogenies in a Population with Climate Change Abstract: We investigate in a simple model how the phylogenies of living individuals are shaped by the adaptation to a varying environment. In this model, the individuals are characterised by one-dimensional real traits (or positions). The stochastic individual-based birth-death process depends on a time-changing growth rate that shifts the optimal trait to the right and depends on a nonlinear logistic competition term. The macroscopic behaviour is described by a PDE that admits a unique positive stationary solution. We are interested here in the ancestral lineages of the living individuals in the stationary regime. The dynamic of these lineages is modelled by a historical process, approximatively close to a similar one with non-linearity frozen to its stationary value. We then use a many-to-one identity together with Feynman-Kac's formula and fine stochastic calculus to completely describe the limiting distribution, in large populations, of the path of an individual drawn at random at a given time. This path, in reversed time, is approximated by a simple Ornstein-Uhlenbeck. It shows how the lagged bulk of the present population stems from ancestors once optimal in trait but still in the tail of the trait distribution in which they lived. This talk is based on a joint work with Vincent Calvez, Benoit Henry and Viet Chi Tran. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/86028841260?pwd=bUxyVUYzSjY5dDR4d3krb2lDTHZDQT09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Meeting-ID: 860 2884 1260 Passcode: 868252 Please feel free to circulate this email.

This year, we will be able to accept more applications than usual (about 10, compared to 7 usually). Bézout Master program is directed towards excellent students in mathematics or computer science (or both) from foreign institutions willing to pursue their studies in Université Paris-Est at the master's level. The laureates will receive about 1300 € per month over 11 months (pending approval of the University Executive Board) and will be proposed a room on the campus. Furthermore, the best students will then be invited to join the PhD program of the Doctoral School MSTIC (Mathematics, Sciences and Information and Communication Technology). A joint supervision with the student's national doctoral framework, leading to both PhD grades, is possible. The details of the program can be found here: http://bezout.univ-paris-est.fr/masters-scholarships/ <http://bezout.univ-paris-est.fr/masters-scholarships/> . From the same webpage, a link to the application form is available; the deadline will be May 21. On April 27 and 30, we plan to hold two online presentations of the Bézout master's program and scholarships, followed by a session of questions and answers; potential applicants should express their interest (without commitment to attend), so that we can send them the credentials for the meeting; see the webpage. A description of the activities of the Bézout Labex can be found in the leaflet at http://bezout.univ-paris-est.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/bezout-leaflet.p….
