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

04 Apr '24

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

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

03 Apr '24

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

Seminario Padova - Stephan Eckstein

02 Apr '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (5 Aprile) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Stephan Eckstein (Tübingen University) <https://sites.google.com/view/stephan-eckstein/startseite> https://sites.google.com/view/stephan-eckstein/ Title: Exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm and Hilbert's projective metric for unbounded functions Date: April 5, 2024, at 14:30, 2AB40 Abstract: Entropic regularization of optimal transport has found numerous applications in various fields recently. A major reason of this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. The topic of this talk is the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are a relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilberts metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/
