TOR VERGATA - COLLOQUIUM GIOVANNI PECCATI - ALESSANDRO ARLOTTO - 18 NOVEMBRE

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Annuncio di Colloquium al Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita` di Roma Tor Vergata Mercoledi` 18 novembre 2015 in Aula Dal Passo Ore 15 Giovanni PECCATI (Universite' du Luxenbourg) Connecting and projecting random points: a gate to novel functional estimates Abstract: I will formulate two simple models of stochastic geometry: the first one involves the projection of a random Gaussian point on a closed convex cone, and the second one consists in the construction of a random graph on the plane. For each of them, I will explain how the fluctuations of several key quantities can be controlled by using functional inequalities, like Poincare', logarithmic Sobolev and information/transport estimates. The resulting bounds will allow us to present a number of quantitative results that are part of a growing body of literature focussing on probabilistic approximations via variational techniques, that have been successfully applied to fields as diverse as compressed sensing, the geometry of random fields on homogeneous spaces, polymer models, computer sciences and time series analysis. The presentation will be adapted to a general mathematical audience, and is based on a large number of contributions by many authors, spread over almost a decade. Ore 16: coffee break Ore 16:45 Seminario Alessandro Arlotto (Duke University) Finite Horizon Markov Decision Problems and a Central Limit Theorem for Total Reward Abstract: We prove a central limit theorem for a class of additive processes that arise naturally in the theory of finite horizon Markov decision problems. The main theorem generalizes a classic result of Dobrushin (1956) for temporally non-homogeneous Markov chains, and the principal innovation is that here the summands are permitted to depend on both the current state and a bounded number of future states of the chain. We show through several examples that this added flexibility gives one a direct path to asymptotic normality of the optimal total reward of finite horizon Markov decision problems. The same examples also explain why such results are not easily obtained by alternative Markovian techniques such as enlargement of the state space. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ..

Mini-corso "Martingale Optimal Transport" del prof. Nizar Touzi a Pisa
by Fausto Gozzi 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Si avvisa che nei giorni 9-11 dicembre il prof. Nizar Touzi dell'Ecole Polytechnique terrÃ un mini-corso dal titolo "Martingale Optimal Transport" presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'UniversitÃ di Pisa. L'abstract ed il calendario sono riportati di seguito. -------------------------------------------------------------- - MER 9/12: ore 16 - 18 (Aula riunioni) - GIO 10/12: ore 10 - 12 (Aula seminari) - GIO 10/12: ore 15 - 17 (Aula seminari) - VEN 11/12: ore 9 - 13 (Aula seminari) Abstract: We provide an introduction to martingale optimal transport. In the context of the one-period version of the problem, we establish the Kantorovitch duality, we discuss the existence for the primal and the dual problems, and we provide the martingale version of the cyclic monotonicity condition together with of the one-dimensional Brenier theorem. We finally show the connection between continuous-time martingale transport and the Skorohod embedding problem, and we provide some applications.

de Finetti Risk seminar - november 2015
by Emanuela Rosazza 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Title: Dynamic programming approach to Principal-Agent problems NIZAR TOUZI Ecole Polytechnique, Paris - France Abstract: We consider a general formulation of the Principal-Agent problem from Contract Theory, on a finite horizon. We show how to reduce the problem to a stochastic control problem which may be analyzed by the standard tools of control theory. In particular, Agent’s value function appears naturally as a controlled state variable for the Principal’s problem. Our argument relies on the Backward Stochastic Differential Equations approach to non-Markovian stochastic control, and more specifically, on the most recent extensions to the second order case. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, November 18, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ.

In occasione dei 150 anni dalla nascita di Guido Castelnuovo giovedì 5 novembre presso il Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Roma La Sapienza Piazzale Aldo Moro 2 si terrà una giornata dedicata alla sua figura di matematico e di didatta. Guido Castelnuovo, che fu un valente geometra, ebbe anche un ruolo chiave nello sviluppo della probabiltà in Italia: nel 1919 pubblicò il suo manuale di Calcolo delle probabilità, il primo libro di probabilità scritto in Italiano, successivamente ampliato sino alla terza edizione del 1948, e istituì la cattedra di Probabilità qui alla Sapienza, che tenne per diversi anni.
