corso di dottorato di Fabio Toninelli a Roma Tre
by Pietro Caputo 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Il prof. Fabio Toninelli (Univ. Lyon 1, France) terra' un corso di dottorato di 12 ore circa presso il dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre. Title: Dimer models: thermodynamics, fluctuations and Glauber dynamics Dates: March 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25, 30 and April 1st, 2015 Time:11.00-12.45 Location: Room 311 (third floor, palazzina C) Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Roma Tre, L.go Murialdo 1 - 00146 Roma Course description: We will discuss several aspects of the mathematical theory of models of lattice dimers. These classical, two- dimensional statistical mechanics models are in certain sense “exactly solvable” (Kasteleyn, 1961). Recently there is a revival of interest in dimer models among probabilists and mathematical physiciscs, due to their properties of conformal invariance and of “Gaussian Free Field”-type fluctuations. Another aspect of great interest (in probability and theoretical computer science) is the study of the associated Markov dynamics (Glauber dynamics). In particular, a natural question concerns the speed of convergence of the dynamics to its invariant measure. Contents: – Kasteleyn theory (computation of the partition function) – dimer-dimer correlations, determinantal representation – dimer models as “lattice free fermions” – height function and its convergence to the “Gaussian Free Field” – thermodynamic limit: translation-invariant Gibbs states and limit shape – Glauber dynamics for dimer models. Connection with the zero-temperature – The problem of the speed of convergence

Conferma Seminario Prof. L. Goldstein a RM1
by Fabio Spizzichino 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

*Si conferma l'orario del seminario indicato qui di seguito* Grazie per l'attenzione Fabio Spizzichino =========== *V**enerdì 20 febbraio 2015* Ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio Seminario di Probabilità Larry Goldstein (University of Southern California) *Normal approximation for recovery of structured unknowns in high dimension: Steining the Steiner formula* Intrinsic volumes of convex sets are natural geometric quantities that also play important roles in applications. In particular, the discrete probability distribution L(VC) given by the sequence v{0},...,v{d} of conic intrinsic volumes of a closed convex cone C in Rd summarizes key information about the success of convex programs used to solve for sparse vectors, and other structured unknowns such as low rank matrices, in high dimensional regularized inverse problems. The concentration of VC implies the existence of phase transitions for the probability of recovery of the unknown in the number of observations. Additional information about the probability of recovery success is provided by a normal approximation for VC. Such central limit theorems can be shown by first considering the squared length GC of the projection of a Gaussian vector on the cone C. Applying a second order Poincar´e inequality, proved using Stein’s method, then produces a non-asymptotic total variation bound to the normal for L(GC). A conic version of the classical Steiner formula in convex geometry translates finite sample bounds and a normal limit for GC to that for VC. Joint with Ivan Nourdin and Giovanni Peccati

Seminario di F. Hubalek a Milano-Bicocca (03.03.2015)
by Francesco Caravenna 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Martedì 3 marzo 2015 alle ore 15:30, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Friedrich Hubalek (TU Wien) terrà un seminario dal titolo Brownian excursion limits for the avalanche length in a binomial limit order book model Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: We briefly describe the mechanics of a stylized limit order book model for an electronic exchange, which is based on the simple symmetric random walk. While the order volume is a spacial process, we take up the study of the avalanche length of trades, that was begun by Thorsten Rheinlaender and his students in a Brownian motion model. By more or less elementary limit calculations we connect to Ito's theory of Brownian excursions. In doing so we briefly, but inevitably meet the error, gamma, zeta, xi, theta, Bessel, and the Gauss hypergeometric function. We derive the generating function for the simplified and full avalanche length, their Brownian limits, and study the distribution of the simplified avalanche length in some detail. This is joint work with Thorsten Rheinlaender and Sabine Sporer. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

Seminario Giovanni Valente al Politecnico di Milano
by Matteo Probo Siro Francesco Gregoratti 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Si avvisa che in data 11-3-2015, alle ore 15:00 , presso Aula Consiglio VII piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, ed. 14, Campus Leonardo, nell'ambito delle iniziative del Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Relativistic Causality and Local Disentanglement in Quantum Field Theory Relatore: Giovanni Valente, University of Pittsbur Abstract: La nozione di entanglement fra sistemi quantistici separati pone due problemi fondamentali in filosofia della meccanica quantistica. Primo, le correlazioni non-locali che ne derivano sembrano determinare un conflitto con la condizione di causalità relativistica, che implica che processi causali non possano propagarsi ad una velocità superiore a quella della luce, sollevando cosí una questione di incompatibilità con la teoria della relatività speciale di Einstein. Secondo, la presenza dell'entanglement sembra pregiudicare la possibilità di ottenere una suddivisione del mondo microscopico in sistemi fisici indipendenti. In questo seminario, si discuteranno tali problemi nel contesto della formulazione algebrica della teoria quantistica dei campi. Si inizierà mostrando come si possa derivare un teorema sull'impossibilità di inviare messaggi superluminali sulla base di operazioni locali. Successivamente, si dimostrerà l'esistenza di operazioni locali che hanno l'effetto di distruggere l'entanglement fra campi quantistici separati, soddisfacendo in tal modo ad una condizione necessaria per la loro indipendenza reciproca.

Fwd: AMS - Mathemical Research Community 2015 in Financial Mathematics
by Marco Romito 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

------------------------------- Messaggio originale -------------------------------- Oggetto: AMS - Mathemical Research Community 2015 in Financial Mathematics Da: "Birgit Rudloff" <brudloff(a)Princeton.EDU> Data: Mer, 18 Febbraio 2015 22:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear colleagues, This is a first announcement about the upcoming Mathematical Research community (MRC) in Financial Mathematics organized by the American Mathematical Society. The MRC is - in AMS own words- "a program of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), nurtures early-career mathematicians-those who are close to finishing their doctorates or have recently finished-and provides them with opportunities to build social and collaborative networks to inspire and sustain each other in their work. The structured program is designed to engage and guide all participants as they start their careers. For each topic, the program includes a one-week summer conference, a Special Session at the national meeting, a discussion network, ongoing mentoring, and a longitudinal study of early career mathematicians." The MRC in Financial Mathematics consists of a conference June 14 – 20, 2015 in Snowbird, Utah, a session at the Joint Mathematics Meeting, January 6-9, 2016 in Seattle, Washington. Around 40 peridoctoral mathematicians (advanced PhD students and early PostDocs) will work together on topics in high frequency trading, optimal investment under transaction costs, and systemic risk. More information at http://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/mrc-15. Deadline for applications will be March 1, 2015. Please make your graduate students and Post-Docs aware of this possibility. Note that while American and US-based mathematicians are prioritized, the MRC is open for everybody. Travel support for the Snowbird conference will be available up to USD 700,-. All the best, Maxim Bichuch Michael Carlisle Olympia Hadjiliadis Birgit Rudloff Stephan Sturm
