Associate Professor in Financial Mathematics (Permanent)
by Eberhard.Mayerhofer 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Dear Colleagues, The University of Limerick recruits a permanent Associate Professor in Financial Mathematics (Deadline in 10 days). You will have a doctoral degree in mathematics or an equivalent discipline and a track record of excellent publications in journals relevant to financial mathematics. (info from myself, not HR) I'm looking for someone to revitalise the Financial Mathematics program here and take on a small teaching load of 3 modules per year, most likely in the field of Financial Mathematics and Probability with small classes (below 60, often 30). Historically, our University has had no more than one Financial Mathematician at a time, and sometimes none at all (another variant of the "0-1 law"). However, the Bachelor's program is well-established since decades, and we are now recruiting to build a strong research team in this field. More Information: https://www.ul.ie/vacancies Cheers, Eberhard

Seminario on-line PRISMA lunedì 1 dicembre 2025 - Ilya Chevyrev & Hao Shen
by Sonia Mazzucchi 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) 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. Dallo scorso anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMSrfXSQy_lBRY2sGEWnyir Il prossimo appuntamento è per oggi *lunedì 1 dicembre* 2025. I relatori saranno Ilya Chevyrev (Sissa - Trieste) e Hao Shen (University of Wisconsin-Madison) che parleranno di: Stochastic quantisation of gauge theories . 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/84292750177 ID riunione: 842 9275 0177 Codice d’accesso: 549245 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Ilya Chevyrev (Sissa - Trieste) e Hao Shen (University of Wisconsin-Madison) TITOLO: Stochastic quantisation of gauge theories RIASSUNTO: We will give an introduction to gauge theories, especially Yang-Mills theory, from a probabilistic perspective. Gauge theories arise in physics, where they are used to describe elementary particles, and correspondingly provide many rich problems in mathematics, including in probability and analysis. We will survey recent results on the interaction between quantum Yang-Mills theory and stochastic analysis, especially the field of singular stochastic PDEs. We will describe how the stochastic quantisation equations associated to the 2D and 3D Euclidean Yang-Mills theories can be solved in a geometrically faithful way and what these equations can teach us about the quantum field theory.

SPASS seminar: Giacomo Ascione
by Francesco Grotto 28 Nov '25

28 Nov '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminars, *Fully nonlocal operators emerging from semi-Markov processes* by Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale), TUE 2.12.2025 at 14:00 CET in Sala Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI. A link for online participants will be shared on the website https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass Best, Francesco Grotto on behalf of the organizers ---------------------------------------------------------------- /Abstract: In the context of anomalous diffusions, time/space-nonlocal operators play a quite prominent role. For instance, the usual fractional Laplacian can be easily recognized as the generator of an isotropic stable Lèvy motion, that, still preserving the Markov property, represent a first (actually pure jump) example of anomalous diffusion, in the sense that the mean square displacement of the described particles (or, in terms of the process, its variance) is not linear in time (actually it is infinite). On the other hand, if we consider the heat equation with a fractional derivative operator in time, a stochastic representation of the solution of such an equation can be given in terms of a Brownian motion time-changed by means of the first passage time process of an independent stable subordinator. This process, however, clearly loses the Markov property, due to the addition of a further dependence on the current sojourn time. In both case, we are describing (at least in terms of the one-dimensional distributions) the behaviour of a time-changed Brownian motion, where the time-change is indeed independent of the process itself. The same can be done if we apply a time-change via an inverse subordinator to an independent isotropic stable Lèvy motion, (obtaining) uncoupled non-local operators in both time and space. However, if we remove the independence assumption, we cannot expect to get uncoupled behaviours in time and space. This is the case, for instance, of a Brownian motion time-changed first with an independent stable subordinator and then with its own inverse. As the second time-change is clearly dependent of the first one, we expect the two operators (in time and space) to be coupled in some way: precisely, in such a case, the Kolmogorov-type equation one gets is governed by a fractional power of the whole heat operator. In this talk, I will present some well-posedness results for fully nonlocal operators obtained by means of Bochner subordination of heat-like operators in terms of a family of semi-Markov processes obtained by means of non-independent time-changes. The general theory will be set in the framework of Feller semigroups on the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity. Nevertheless, if there is time, a quite specific case (i.e., a Black-Sholes model for intraday options) that requires refined arguments will be discussed and the role of the regularity of the initial data will be addressed. Finally, we will stress the following expected result: despite the appearance of constancy intervals and the lack of Markov property, if we start from a Brownian motion the newly obtained process exhibits a normal diffusive behaviour, instead of an anomalous one./

Online seminar - Department of Economics - Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Antonella Basso 27 Nov '25

27 Nov '25

Dear all, the Department of Economics of Ca' Foscari University of Venice organizes the following online seminar on*Friday, November 28 at 12:15 (ZOOM only)* by *Guglielmo Alessandro Visentin* (University of Reading) *The Financial Cost of Biodiversity Loss for SMEs *(joint with Lisa Schopohl and Simone Varotto) /Abstract: In this study, we investigate the impact of biodiversity loss on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Leveraging firms’ financial information and postcodes from Moody’s Bureau van Dijk and the Biodiversity Intactness Index – a geospatial dataset developed by the Natural History Museum – we geo-locate SMEs, quantify biodiversity loss in the area where firms operate, and assess their exposure to biodiversity-related risks over time. We then employ a fixed effects regression model to estimate the effect of biodiversity loss on firm performance. Our findings indicate that a one-standard-deviation decline in biodiversity leads to a statistically significant reduction in firm operating income by 0.59 percentage points. This impact is economically meaningful when benchmarked against the sample’s average operating income. Moreover, SMEs located in more ecologically degraded areas are found to be more exposed to biodiversity-related risks. We also provide evidence of the materiality of dependency risk, while transition risk appears to be non-material within the UK context. The results remain robust across various econometric specifications and when controlling for climate risk factors./ / / The Zoom link is: *https://unive.zoom.us/j/81355902934?pwd=4UWO6ugBkddwqj1v3RCbMNzPhOpIIh.1 ID riunione: 813 5590 2934 Passcode: dN548g */ / More information available here <https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/108966>/. / Best regards, Antonella Basso -- Antonella Basso Dipartimento di Economia Università Ca' Foscari Venezia Fondamenta S.
