Eleanor Archer (Dauphine-PSL Paris) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known result of Aldous states that the scaling limit of the uniform spanning tree (UST) of the complete graph is the Brownian continuum random tree. We will discuss a recent result that shows that this is a universal phenomenon, in that the GHP scaling limit of the UST of any appropriate sequence of high dimensional graphs is the CRT. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. Based on joint work with Asaf Nachmias and Matan Shalev. Scaling limit of the Aldous-Broder chain on regular graphs: the transient regime. Anita Winter (Duisburg-Essen University) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known way to generate a uniform spanning tree (UST) is the Aldous-Broder algorithm. This is a stochastic process with values in rooted trees that is driven by a random walk on G and converges as time goes to infinity towards the Brownian Continuum Tree (CRT). On the complete graph it is known that this process has a GH-scaling limit which is referred to as Root Growth with Regrafting dynamics (RGRG). We will show that this is again a universal phenomenon, i.e., it holds for the Alous-Broder chain on any appropriate sequence of regular graphs in the transient regime. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. This is joint work with Osvaldo Angtuncio Hernandez and Gabriel Berzunza Ojeda. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sara Mazzonetto (Université de Lorraine) e Paolo Pigato (Università di Roma 2 “Tor Vergata”) TITOLO: Diffusioni a soglia e il ruolo del tempo locale RIASSUNTO: Le diffusioni a soglia sono soluzioni di equazioni differenziali stocastiche i cui coefficienti cambiano in modo discontinuo a seconda della posizione del processo rispetto a delle barriere (soglie). Sono usate nella modellizzazione di vari fenomeni, in finanza/economia, ingegneria e altre scienze. In questo seminario, daremo un’introduzione a questi processi dal punto di vista matematico e parleremo delle loro applicazioni. Considereremo poi alcuni problemi di inferenza dei parametri, discutendo risultati asintotici sotto diverse ipotesi e sottolineando le difficoltà tecniche provenienti in particolare dalla connessione tra discontinuità, moto browniano skew e tempi locali. .%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminari online su applicazioni della probabilità in economia (Save the dates)
by Enrico Scalas 20 May '25

20 May '25

Il gruppo UMI PRISMA organizza una serie di tre seminari online, in inglese, sulle "Applicazioni della Probabilità all’Economia". La serie di seminari è specificamente organizzata da: - Giulio Bottazzi (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna) - Alessandro Calvia (Politecnico di Milano) - Marco Capaldo (RWTH Aachen) - Enrico Scalas (Sapienza Università di Roma) I seminari sono in preparazione alla Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview I dettagli sui link saranno diffusi in prossimità degli eventi sul sito web del gruppo UMI PRISMA: https://umi-prisma.polito.it/ e su questa lista. I seminari saranno i seguenti: 26 giugno 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Marta Leocata, LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences Title: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt). -- 10 luglio 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Annamaria Olivieri, University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management Title: Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications Abstract: In the closing decade of the last century, a generalized decrease in mortality rates has been reported in many countries, especially at adult and old ages, which was highly unanticipated. Until then, the modelling of mortality for insurance applications was mainly deterministic since, according to the classical insurance paradigm, in sufficiently large and homogeneous pools there is a high probability to achieve an outcome in line with what expected. Uncertain mortality trends are against such an argument. Net of the effect of the pandemic, the decreasing trend in mortality has persisted to current times, at a pace that remains random. Mortality has a clear impact on the liabilities of the life insurance (and pension) industry and an adequate mortality forecasting is among the key elements of an effective risk management design for a life insurer (or a pension fund), especially when longevity benefits are involved. Starting from the end of the last century, stochastic mortality modelling has become a core topic of actuarial science and many studies have greatly enriched the actuarial literature. In this presentation, the main characteristics of mortality trends are first summarized, with particular regard to the Italian population. Then, mortality and longevity risks are defined. Finally, a review of the main stochastic mortality models developed for actuarial purposes is provided. -- 17 luglio 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Sara Merino Aceituno, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna (Austria) Title: Large particle limit for jump processes Abstract: In this short course, we will study interacting particle systems whose dynamics are governed either by continuous-time Markov processes (such as coagulation models) or piecewise deterministic Markov processes (such as run-and-tumble dynamics). Our starting point will be the martingale formulation of these systems. The primary objective is to derive equations that approximate the behavior of the system as the number of particles becomes large.

Seminario Padova - Matteo Sfragara
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 19 May '25

19 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (23 Maggio) in aula 2AB45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Matteo Sfragara (Università di Padova) Title: Welcome seminar on random growth models Date: May 23, 2025, at 14:30, 2AB45 Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of my recent research activity on random growth models, mostly carried during my postdoc time at Stockholm University. We will first talk about the connection between chaos and concentration in models like first-passage percolation (FPP) and last-passage percolation (LPP), and we prove that they exhibit a chaotic behavior. This extends previous work on the topic, and illustrates that this is a phenomenon that can be expected more widely. The notion of ‘chaos' refers to the sensitivity of the optimal path (geodesic) when exposed to a slight perturbation. We will then shift our focus on competing first passage percolation on random graphs generated by the configuration model, where two infection types compete to invade the vertices in the graph spreading via nearest neighbors. Assuming that the degrees follow a power-law distribution with exponent τ, we present results in the case of finite variance (τ>3), in the case of finite mean but infinite variance (2<τ<3) and in the case of infinite mean (1<τ<2): is it possible for the two infection types to coexist as the number of vertices n tends to infinity? I will conclude with a brief mention to some ongoing research projects. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

In these models, particles interact via binary updates, exchanging a conserved quantity that can be interpreted as mass, energy, or momentum. Examples in this class include, among others, Kac’s walk, the Kipnis–Marchioro–Presutti model, and the Averaging process. Although these processes are Markovian, many standard techniques for analyzing finite-state Markov chains are not directly applicable due to the continuum nature of the configuration space, the presence of conservation laws, or singular constraints. We will provide an overview of the models in this class, with particular emphasis on spectral gaps and mixing times. The talk is based on a series of joint works with Pietro Caputo (Rome) and Seonwoo Kim (Seoul). https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Nicos Georgiou in Rome: The tree-TASEP on Galton-Watson trees
by Enrico Scalas 12 May '25

12 May '25

Buonasera, ricordo il seminario di probabilità di Nicos Georgiou che si terrà giovedì prossimo al Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche di Sapienza alle ore 15:00. Riporto l'annuncio completo qui sotto. Grazie per l'attenzione e cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas -- AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Il 15 maggio 2024 dalle ore 15, in aula 34 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche (DSS), Sapienza Università di Roma, nell'ambito dei Seminari di Probabilità del DSS, il Prof. Nicos Georgiou, University of Sussex, Regno Unito, terrà un seminario dal titolo -- The tree-TASEP on Galton-Watson trees Abstract: We define a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on trees, where the particles enter the tree from a reservoir attached to the root. Particles can only jump following edges on the tree and only if they are jumping away from the root, to a non-occupied vertex. We are interested in two different aspects of this particle system. First we want to investigate the current of particles across a given generation at a specific time, when we start from an initially empty initial condition. Second, we would like to obtain some information about the current across a given ray. Both answers depend heavily on our choice of jump rates for the particles and the tree geometry and different regimes of behaviour will be presented during the talk. Our results rely on a crucial estimate of the time it takes for the trajectories of the first N particles to decouple in the tree. This is joint work with N. Gantert (TUM) and D. Schmid (Columbia) -- Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Enrico Scalas

Seminar Announcement at Sapienza University of Rome (Max Sauerbrey)
by Antonio Agresti 12 May '25

12 May '25

Dear Colleagues, With this, I would like to advertise the following talk by Max Sauerbrey (MPI Leipzig), which will be held at Sapienza University of Rome in "Sala di Consiglio" at *14:00* on *Tuesday*, *May 20th*. Kind regards, Antonio Agresti *Max Sauerbrey* (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig) *Title:* Solution theory for the stochastic thin film equation with spatially colored noise *Abstract:* We present recent results on the local in time well-posedness of stochastic thin-film equations driven by Gaussian noise, which is white in time and colored in space, with strictly positive initial data. After introducing the underlying model, we state the local well-posedness and instantaneous regularization result in any space dimension, including corresponding blow-up criteria. Then we comment on the one-dimensional situation in which global in time well-posedness can be obtained under consideration of intermolecular van der Waals forces between the fluid and the substrate. The talk is based on joint work with Antonio Agresti: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.12652.

Caccioppoli dell'Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, il Prof. Kei Kobayashi, Department of Mathematics, Fordham University, terrà il seguente seminario: "_Numerical approximation of stochastic di__ﬀ__erential equations modeling subdi__ﬀ__usion"_ Abstract: Standard Brownian motion composed with a random time change given by an inverse subordinator has been used to model subdiﬀusions, where particles spread more slowly than the classical Brownian particles. The time-changed Brownian motion is neither Markovian nor Gaussian, and standard procedures known for normal diﬀusions do not generally work. This talk gives an overview of the framework of numerical approximation schemes for the time-changed Brownian motion and its associated stochastic diﬀerential equations, along with the rates of convergence.

Seminario di Zongchen Chen a Roma Tre il 15 maggio alle 14:30
by Pietro Caputo 08 May '25

08 May '25

Giovedì 15 maggio alle ore 14.30 Zongchen Chen (Georgia Institute of Technology) terrà il seminario Title: *Counting Random k-SAT Near the Satisfiability Threshold*. Abstract: We present efficient counting and sampling algorithms for random k-SAT when the clause density is at most 2^k/poly(k). In particular, the exponential term 2^k matches the satisfiability threshold O(2^k) for the existence of a solution and the (conjectured) algorithmic threshold 2^k (\ln k)/k for efficiently finding a solution. At the heart of our approach is a refined analysis of the recent novel coupling procedure introduced by Wang and Yin. Our new analysis utilizes the structural properties of random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). It provides a universal framework for efficient counting and sampling for random atomic CSPs, including, for example, random hypergraph colorings. At the same time, we obtain as immediate corollaries several important probabilistic properties of random CSPs that have been widely studied but rarely justified, including replica symmetry and non-reconstruction. Joint work with Aditya Lonkar, Chunyang Wang, Kuan Yang, and Yitong Yin. Il seminario si svolgerà presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Via della Vasca Navale 84, Aula A. -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo

Announcement PhD course@UniPD - Bessel, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and Gaussian-Volterra processes with Wiener and fractional drivers, by Prof. Yuliia Mishura
by Tiziano Vargiolu 07 May '25

07 May '25

We are pleased to announce the PhD course "Bessel, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and Gaussian-Volterra processes with Wiener and fractional drivers", held by Prof. Yuliia Mishura (Department of Probability, Statistics and Actuarial Mathematics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) The course is organized by the Doctoral Program in Mathematical Sciences of the University of Padova --------------------- Aim: To introduce PhD students to the most interesting and modern models of stochastic pro- cesses, which, firstly, have various and quite deep analytical, wise-trajectory and asymptotic properties, and secondly, serve as adequate models in financial mathematics, physics, cellular communications, biology, etc. We will consider stochastic differential equations with both the Wiener process and the fractional Brownian process and its generalizations. Course contents: Standard Cox-Ingersoll-Ross and Bessel processes: local and global be- haviour of the trajectories as the functionals of coefficients. Fractional Cox-Ingersoll-Ross and Bessel processes and their main properties in dependence of the value of Hurst index. Drift parameters estimation in the standard and fractional Cox-Ingersoll-Ross models. Exact and ap- proximate option pricing under stochastic volatility modeled by fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Functional limit theorems for financial markets driven by fractional long-range de- pendent processes. Fractional Gaussian noise: entropy and alternative entropy functionals, an- alytical and computational problems related to predictors. Gaussian-Volterra processes as the generalization of fractional Brownian motion. Tempered fractional processes.

You can find the calendar for the upcoming seminars at this link<https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar/future-seminars> (next dates: May 14, May 21). We hope to see many of you online! Luisa and Roger ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com<mailto:ow.probability@gmail.com>> Date: Sun, May 4, 2025 at 9:58 PM Subject: Next OWPS this Wednesday To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk<mailto:owps@lists.bath.ac.uk>> The next OWPS will be on Wednesday, May 7, from 13:00 to 15:00 UTC time Speakers: Matthew Kahle<https://matthewkahle.org/> (Ohio State University), András Mészáros<https://users.renyi.hu/~meszaros/> (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Upcoming seminars<https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar/future-seminars>: May 14: Matteo Quattropani (Roma Tre University), Federico Sau (University of Milan) May 21: Eleanor Archer (Dauphine-PSL Paris), Anita Winter (Duisburg-Essen University) ----------------------- Introduction to determinantal random hypertrees Matthew Kahle (Ohio State University) Abstract: A hypertree is a simplicial complex that serves as a higher-dimensional analogue of a tree. We will discuss a natural model of random hypertree, inspired by enumerative work of Kalai and probabilistic work of Lyons. This model is a higher-dimensional analogue of a uniform spanning tree on a complete graph. In this talk, we will take some time to carefully motivate and define the model, and then to discuss some of its probabilistic properties. Finally, we will overview some results of Andrew Newman's and mine about the basic properties of 2-dimensional determinantal random hypertrees. In particular, we will discuss torsion in homology and hyperbolicity of the fundamental group. I will not assume any topological prerequisites, and will aim to make the talk as self contained as possible. Determinantal hypertrees and graph limits András Mészáros (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics) Abstract: We discuss how graph limit theory can provide us with useful tools to understand random simplicial complexes. Extendending the result of Grimmett on the local weak limit of uniform random spanning trees of complete graphs, we describe the local weak limit of determinantal hypertrees. Relying on the large deviation principle for the Erdős–Rényi random graph by Chatterjee and Varadhan, we give an upper bound on the mod 2 homology of 2-dimensional determinantal hypertrees. If time permits, we discuss conjectures on the distribution of the p-torsion of the first integral homology group of 2-dimensional determinantal hypertrees. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Save the date: OWABI@BioInference2025 - 29th May 10am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 07 May '25

07 May '25

Dear all, the next OWABI www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> is going to be quite special, consisting of two selected talks livestreamed from BioInference 2025 (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/) a conference on mathematical modelling and inference on (broadly speaking) biological system. The seminars will be on Thursday the 29th May, at 10am UK time (note the different time with respect to previous seminars), given by * Andrew Golightly (Durham University), Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data * Henrik Häggström (Chalmers University), Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team Channel<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> , at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 323 917 219 730 3 Passcode: Fk9JG3eB 1st OWABI Talk: 10-10.30am UK time Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University) Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London. 2nd Seminar: 10.30-11am UK time Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University) Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminario Wojciech Górecki - Politecnico di Milano - 12 Maggio 2025
by Luca Scarpa 06 May '25

06 May '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Lunedì 12 Maggio 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Wojciech Górecki, Università di Pavia. Title: Fundamental bounds for the metrology of open quantum systems. Abstract. Quantum mechanics allows for enhanced measurement precision beyond classical limits by harnessing entanglement and/or long-time coherence. However, these resources are highly sensitive to noise, making their use in open quantum systems particularly challenging. At the same time, optimizing metrological protocolsกชanalytically or numericallyกชbecomes increasingly difficult as system size and measurement complexity grow. Nonetheless, for quantum systems governed by a master equation, it is possible to derive fundamental, protocol-independent bounds on achievable precision. These bounds provide an objective benchmark to assess existing strategies and identify potential for improvement. In this seminar, I will present these fundamental bounds, first introduced by A. Fujiwara and H. Imai and later extended by R. Demkowicz-Dobrzaจฝski, S. Zhou, L. Jiang, among others. I will illustrate the framework through examples involving interferometry and cavity parameter estimation under photon loss, with particular attention to critical metrology and continuous measurement in the steady-state regime.

Castelnuovo di Sapienza Università di Roma *Andrea Rinaldo (École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne & Università di Padova)Clima, acqua, malattie e solidarietá nel mondo che cambia* Sommario Il clima sta cambiando rapidamente. Dobbiamo farlo anche noi, non considerando scontati privilegi consolidati dal tempo, usi e tradizioni dei luoghi, organizzazioni politiche e sociali, e le espressioni della sensibilità collettiva. Serviranno letture attente del governo dell’acqua, riflettendo su Ambiente naturale e costruito intorno a noi, e ripensamenti del rapporto fra risorse e solidarietà, e sui modi e i tempi della giustizia distributiva nella gestione delle risorse idriche. La mia tesi: i grandi temi di salvaguardia legati al governo dell’acqua, e dunque alla metastoria, riguardano sia il Nord che del Sud del mondo, e ci obbligano a riflettere sulla relazione fra trasformazioni del paesaggio, usi del suolo e dinamica delle risorse naturali, ma anche su un’etica dello sviluppo che tenga conto di un’equa distribuzione dei privilegi e delle risorse. Il seminario si propone in particolare di evidenziare il filo rosso che lega la descrizione matematica di processi idrologici ed epidemiologici, e della geometria della natura nel paesaggio fluviale, a temi centrali nella valutazione della ricchezza e della povertà delle nazioni e nella economia ambientale contemporanea. Per le registrazioni dei seminari già svolti e altre informazioni visita il sito https://sites.google.com/view/alessandro-teta/matematica-scienza-e-societa?… I seminari di Matematica, Scienza e Società sono dedicati all'approfondimento storico e critico di aspetti della matematica e dei suoi rapporti con la scienza e con la società.

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 5 maggio 2025 - C. Orrieri & L. Scarpa
by Sonia Mazzucchi 05 May '25

05 May '25

Buongiorno, ricordiamo a tutti gli interessati che oggi lunedì 5 maggio dalle 16 alle 17:17 si svolgerà il periodico seminario online del gruppo UMI-PRISMA. 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://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb I relatori di oggi pomeriggio saranno Carlo Orrieri (Università di Pavia) e Luca Scarpa (Politecnico di Milano) che parleranno di: Equazioni stocastiche doppiamente nonlineari e relativi problemi di regolarizzazione per rumore 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://unitn.zoom.us/j/88514293418 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://unitn.zoom.us/j/88514293418&sa=D&sourc…> ID riunione: 885 1429 3418 Codice d’accesso: 236100 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Carlo Orrieri (Università di Pavia) e Luca Scarpa (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Equazioni stocastiche doppiamente nonlineari e relativi problemi di regolarizzazione per rumore RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verranno introdotte alcune classi di equazioni di evoluzione in relazione alla modellizzazione di problemi di transizione di fase. Dal punto di vista matematico tali equazioni sono caratterizzate da una dinamica doppiamente nonlineare che tipicamente non ne assicura la buona positura. In particolare, l’unicità delle soluzioni viene a mancare. Questo motiva l’introduzione e l'analisi di opportune formulazioni stocastiche per tali modelli, nell’ottica di ottenere effetti di regolarizzazione per rumore. Nella seconda parte il problema di regolarizzazione per rumore verrà inquadrato nel contesto più generale di equazioni di evoluzione stocastiche con drift singolare e verranno presentati alcuni risultati di unicità. L'applicabilità di tali tecniche identificherà naturalmente un concetto di criticità che porrà le equazioni doppiamente nonlineari in un regime supercritico. Per queste verrà fornito infine un risultato parziale di stabilità per rumore. I risultati presentati nei seminari sono stati ottenuti in collaborazione con F. Bertacco (Imperial College London) e U. Stefanelli (Università di Vienna). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

02 May '25

Dear all, I am glad to announce and invite you to the following seminar Statistics Seminars 2024/2025 Thursday May 8th, 2025 at 14.30 Room IV in Via Belle Arti, 41, Department of Statistics, University of Bologna or online on Microsoft Teams (here below you can find the link) “A world of copulas” Prof. Roberto Ghiselli Ricci (Università Ca‘ Foscari Venezia) Abstract A journey into the most outstanding family of aggregation functions given by the Copulas. They are particularly intriguing, because, on the one hand, they offer a theoretically fertile field of study with deep connections with different branches of mathematics such as Differential Calculus and even Group Theory, and, on the other hand, as consequence of the seminal Sklar's Theorem (1969), they are an essential tool for building refined stochastic models able to satisfy properties required by real problems.

SPASS Seminar: Theodore Drivas
by Mario Maurelli 02 May '25

02 May '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Vibrodynamics of constrained mechanical systems* by *Theodore D. Drivas* (Stony Brook University) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 06.05.2025* at *9:00 CEST *(mind unusual time) in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. Best regards Mario Maurelli https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Title: Vibrodynamics of constrained mechanical systems* *Abstract: We study the effect of rapid vibration of constraining surfaces of arbitrary codimension on a confined mechanical particle. The slow dynamics experience an effective potential force coming from the geometry of the vibrating surface, which can introduce new equilibria and change stability character of existing ones. A classical example is Kapitza's stabilization of the inverted pendulum with a vibrating pivot. After developing this formalism for finite dimensional systems, we generalize to infinite dimensions by analogy and study the resulting vibrogenic forces for inextensible threads and incompressible fluids. The thread effectively becomes elastic, and the fluid evolves as a variant of the incompressible inhomogeneous system. This is joint work with D. Glukhovskiy.*

Cari colleghi di seguito l'annuncio di un seminario organizzato nell'ambito delle attività dell'IRL LYSM INdAM-CNRS, a cui siete tutti cordialmente invitati a partecipare. ----------------------------------------------------------- LYSeMinar Martedì 6 maggio, ore 10:30, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo, Sapienza Università di Roma, P.le A. Moro 5, 00185 Roma Speaker: Lucia Caramellino (Univ. Roma Tor Vergata) Title: Regularization lemmas and applications Abstract: The talk focuses on some regularization results that allow one to prove estimates in the total variation distance, typically by upgrading already known estimates holding in the Wasserstein distance. In all this, tools from Malliavin calculus will play a crucial role. Some applications will then be discussed. The talk is mainly based on the papers "Regularization lemmas and convergence in total variation", with V. Bally and G. Poly (EJP 2020), and "Convergence in Total Variation for nonlinear functionals of random hyperspherical harmonics", with G. Giorgio and M. Rossi (JFA 2024). -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/domenicomarinucci @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

In order to build our numerical scheme, we put forward a new representation of the PDE solution by using a classical probabilistic representation of the gradient. Then, based on this representation, we propose a fully implementable numerical scheme using a Picard iteration procedure, a grid space discretization and a Monte-Carlo approximation. Up to a limiting technical condition that guarantees the contraction of the Picard procedure, we obtain an upper bound for the numerical error. We also provide some numerical experiments that show the efficiency of this approach for small dimensions. -- Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca
