Announcement: STAR Online Seminar
by michele giordano 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Dear all, This is a reminder for the: STAR Online Seminars. - The seminar will be held Friday 18. December from 11:00-12:00 . You will recieve the link for the Zoom room by registering for the seminar with the link provided at the end of this mail. The lecture will last for 45 minutes + questions. This week's speaker is Federica Masiero - Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, with the seminar: Regularizing properties and HJB equations for stochastic problems with delay Abstract: In this talk we consider stochastic differential equations with delay. It is well known that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck transition semigroup doesn’t have regularizing properties, such as the strong Feller property. So in general, the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation cannot be solved in mild sense by a classical fixed point argument. We present a result of existence of regular solutions for the HJB equations related to a stochastic controlled equation with delay in the control and in the case when, as it often occurs in applications, the objective function depends only on the “present” of the state and control variable. The result is based on partial regularization results for the associated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. In analogy, we investigate partial reularizing properties in the case of delay in the state and with a special dependence on the past trajectory, and we solve in mild sense the associated HJB equation and the stochastic controlled problem related. The talk is mainly based on joint works with F. Gozzi and G. Tessitore. After the end of the seminar, you are invited to bring a cup of coffee/tea and have a chat in our Coffee in the Stars here you will have the chance to talk and interact with the other persons that attended the seminar, and have a digital "coffee break". We are looking forward to see you, online!

The talk will be accessible under the link Click here to join the meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3A17115d7f6ef44c5e91974362906c…> Best regards, Giacomo Tuesday, Dec. 15, 14:00 Speaker: Jie-Xiang Zhu (Fudan University / Université de Toulouse) Title: On optimal matching problem for Gaussian samples with dimension d ≥ 3 Abstract: Optimal matching problems are very classical in computer science, physics and mathematics. In this talk, we will discuss the related rates of convergence of empirical measures associated with n independent random points, whose common distribution is the normal Gaussian distribution in Euclidean space with dimension d ≥ 3. Our method is based on the PDE and mass transportation approach developed by L. Ambrosio, F. Stra and D. Trevisan. _____________________ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it

LTI@UniTO seminar Wednesday November 25, 3pm, Albert Menkveld (VU Amsterdam)
by Luca Regis 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

|| || |Dear colleagues, | ||||||| LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti <www.carloalberto.org/lti>) and Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinar in Finance: | | “Equilibrium Bid-Price Dispersion” Speaker: Albert Menkveld (VU Amsterdam), _https://albertjmenkveld.com/about/ <https://albertjmenkveld.com/about/> _ Abstract: If bidding in a common-value auction is costly and if bidders do not know how many others are also bidding, all equilibria are in mixed strategies. Participation is probabilistic and bid prices are dispersed. The symmetric equilibrium is unique and yields simple analytic expressions. We use them to, for example, show that bid prices exhibit negative skewness. The expressions are further used to estimate the model based on bidding on an S&P500 security. We find that the number of bidders declined over time, making liquidity supply fragile. You can join the webinar via zoom at the following link: | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81439851376?pwd=YUFsWXFvNldTaEMrTW55VE5kaXJiQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81439851376?pwd=YUFsWXFvNldTaEMrTW55VE5kaXJiQT09> Meeting ID: 814 3985 1376 Passcode: 753282 Best regards, Luca Regis -- 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 ||
