[Fwd: seminario Gssi]
by davide gabrielli 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Il giorno Giovedi 13 Marzo alle ore 16 presso il GSSI (Gran Sasso Science Institute, L'Aquila) la Prof. *Inés Armendariz *del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Buenos Airesterrà il seguente seminario: *Title*: Scaling limit of the condensate dynamics in the zero-range process *Abstract*: We consider the zero-range process on the one dimensional torus with L sites and N particles, in the supercritical regime when N=L exceeds the critical density. It is known that in the stationary state, as L goes to infinity, the excess particles accumulate at a randomly chosen position, forming the condensate. We now show that, at the right scale, this condensates moves according to a Lévy process on the rescaled torus, with rates determined by the jump distribution of the original zero range process. For instance, for nearest neighbour probabilities, the limiting Lévy process will have rates inversely proportional to the jump length. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Two seminars and presentation of Ph.D. theses - date
by Tiziano Vargiolu 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

We have the pleasure to announce the following two seminars and the defenses of two PhD thesis for the day Friday, March 7th: University of Padova, Italy Department of Mathematics, via Trieste 63 room 1BC/45, 1st floor 9.00 Tomas BJORK: "Time inconsistent control" (joint with Agatha Murgoci) ABSTRACT: We develop a theory for stochastic control problems which, in various ways, are time inconsistent in the sense that they do not admit a Bellman optimality principle. We attach these problems by viewing them within a game theoretic framework, and we look for Nash subgame perfect equilibrium points. For a general controlled Markov process and a fairly general objective functional we derive an extension of the standard Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, in the form of a system of non-linear equations, for the determination for the equilibrium strategy as well as the equilibrium value function. Most known examples of time inconsistency in the literature are easily seen to be special cases of the present theory. We also prove that for every time inconsistent problem, there exists an associated time consistent problem such that the optimal control and the optimal value function for the consistent problem coincides with the equilibrium control and value function respectively for the time inconsistent problem. We also study some concrete examples. 10.00 Thorsten SCHMIDT: "Bond markets and absence of arbitrage beyond the existence of a bank account" (joint with Irene Klein and Josef Teichmann) ABSTRACT: We investigate default-free bond markets where the standard relationship between a possibly existing bank account process and the term structure of bond prices is broken, i.e. the bank account process is not a valid numeraire. We argue that this feature is not the exception but rather the rule in bond markets when starting with, e.g., terminal bonds as numeraires. Our setting are general cad lag processes as bond prices, where we employ directly methods from large financial markets. Moreover, we do not restrict price process to be semimartingales, which allows for example to consider markets driven by fractional Brownian motion. In the core of the article we relate the appropriate no arbitrage assumptions (NAFL), i.e. no asymptotic free lunch, to the existence of an equivalent local martingale measure with respect to the terminal bond as numeraire, and no arbitrage opportunities of the first kind (NAA1) to the existence of a supermartingale deflator, respectively. In all settings we obtain existence of a generalized bank account as a limit of convex combinations of roll-over bonds. Additionally we provide an alternative definition of the concept of a numeraire, leading to a possibly interesting connection to bubbles. If we can construct a bank account process through roll-overs, we can relate the impossibility of taking the bank account as numeraire to liquidity effects. Here we enter endogenously the arena of multiple yield curves. After the two seminars, the defenses of two PhD thesis will take place: 11.00 Juan Miguel MONTES: "Aspects of affine models in the pricing of exotic options and in credit risk" (supervisor: Wolfgang J. Runggaldier) 11.45 Stefano PAGLIARANI: "Portfolio optimization and option pricing under defaultable Levy driven models" (supervisor: Tiziano Vargiolu) Tiziano -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Vargiolu Dipartimento di Matematica Phone: +39 049 8271383 Universita' di Padova Fax: +39 049 8271428 Via Trieste, 63 E-mail: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it I-35121 Padova (Italy) WWW: http://www.math.unipd.it/~vargiolu --------------------------------------------------------------------------

CSAMA 2014: Computational Statistics for Genome Biology (12th edition) Bressanone-Brixen, Italy (South Tyrol Alps - half way between Verona and Munich) June 23-27, 2014 *** Registration for CSAMA 2014 is now open *** http://www-huber.embl.de/csama This one-week intensive course teaches current approaches in the statistical and computational analysis of large-scale experiments in biology. The course focuses on the methods for downstream analysis of high-throughput sequencing experiments including RNA sequencing (differential expression) and DNA sequencing (variant calling), as well as QTL analysis and high-throughput screening. Lectures also cover essentials including statistical testing, linear models, machine learning, visualisation and bioinformatic metadata integration. Topics • Introduction to R and Bioconductor • Elements of statistics: hypothesis testing, multiple testing, regression, regularisation, clustering and classification (machine learning), visualisation • Computing with sequences and genomic intervals • RNA-Seq data analysis and differential expression • DNA Variant calling • Working with annotation -- genes, genomic features and variants • Gene set enrichment analysis • High-throughput screens The course consists of • morning lectures: 20 x 45 minutes: Monday to Friday 8:30am - 12:00am • 4 practical computer tutorials in the afternoons (2pm - 5pm) on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday ----------------------------------- Stefano M.
