Title: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems
Abstract:
In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture
the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in
their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term
consequences of their actions within interactive environments.
These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and
social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences
and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele
Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to
the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and
Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt).

Title: Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications
Abstract:
In the closing decade of the last century, a generalized decrease in
mortality rates has been reported in many countries, especially at adult
and old ages, which was highly unanticipated. Until then, the modelling of
mortality for insurance applications was mainly deterministic since,
according to the classical insurance paradigm, in sufficiently large and
homogeneous pools there is a high probability to achieve an outcome in line
with what expected. Uncertain mortality trends are against such an
argument. Net of the effect of the pandemic, the decreasing trend in
mortality has persisted to current times, at a pace that remains random.
Mortality has a clear impact on the liabilities of the life insurance (and
pension) industry and an adequate mortality forecasting is among the key
elements of an effective risk management design for a life insurer (or a
pension fund), especially when longevity benefits are involved. Starting
from the end of the last century, stochastic mortality modelling has become
a core topic of actuarial science and many studies have greatly enriched
the actuarial literature.
In this presentation, the main characteristics of mortality trends are
first summarized, with particular regard to the Italian population. Then,
mortality and longevity risks are defined. Finally, a review of the main
stochastic mortality models developed for actuarial purposes is provided.

Title: Large particle limit for jump processes
Abstract:
In this short course, we will study interacting particle systems whose
dynamics are governed either by continuous-time Markov processes (such as
coagulation models) or piecewise deterministic Markov processes (such as
run-and-tumble dynamics). Our starting point will be the martingale
formulation of these systems. The primary objective is to derive equations
that approximate the behavior of the system as the number of particles
becomes large.

Buongiorno a tutti,
Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (23 Maggio) in aula 2AB45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di:
Matteo Sfragara (Università di Padova)
Title: Welcome seminar on random growth models
Date: May 23, 2025, at 14:30, 2AB45
Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of my recent research activity on random growth models, mostly carried during my postdoc time at Stockholm University. We will first talk about the connection between chaos and concentration in models like first-passage percolation (FPP) and last-passage percolation (LPP), and we prove that they exhibit a chaotic behavior. This extends previous work on the topic, and illustrates that this is a phenomenon that can be expected more widely. The notion of ‘chaos' refers to the sensitivity of the optimal path (geodesic) when exposed to a slight perturbation. We will then shift our focus on competing first passage percolation on random graphs generated by the configuration model, where two infection types compete to invade the vertices in the graph spreading via nearest neighbors. Assuming that the degrees follow a power-law distribution with exponent τ, we present results in the case of finite variance (τ>3), in the case of finite mean but infinite variance (2<τ<3) and in the case of infinite mean (1<τ<2): is it possible for the two infection types to coexist as the number of vertices n tends to infinity? I will conclude with a brief mention to some ongoing research projects.
Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Title: Chaos and integrability in open and driven quantum many-body systems
Abstract: The course will be on recent developments in open quantum
many-body systems and dynamics od driven (Floquet) lattice systems.
It will be divided into four lectures.
In the first lecture, I will discuss empirical diagnostics of quantum chaos
of open quantum systems and present tenfold way of symmetry classification
of the corresponding Liouvillians.
In the second lecture, I will discuss Yang-Baxter integrability of open
quantum systems and present some simple examples.
In the third lecture, I will focus on exactly solvable steady states of
boundary driven open spin chains and algebraic aspects of the underlying
matrix product states.
In the fourth lecture, I will introduce integrable spin lattice models in
discrete space-time (integrable quantum circuits) with the corresponding
unitary integrability structures in discrete time domain, and present some
interesting conjectures on anomalous transport and anomalous fluctuations
in these systems.
