We are pleased to announce the PhD course "Bessel, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and
Gaussian-Volterra processes with Wiener and fractional drivers",
held by Prof. Yuliia Mishura (Department of Probability, Statistics and
Actuarial Mathematics, Taras Shevchenko National University of
Kyiv)
The course is organized by the Doctoral Program in Mathematical
Sciences of the University of Padova
---------------------
Aim: To introduce PhD students to the most interesting and modern models
of stochastic pro- cesses, which, firstly, have various and quite deep
analytical, wise-trajectory and asymptotic properties, and secondly, serve
as adequate models in financial mathematics, physics, cellular
communications, biology, etc. We will consider stochastic differential
equations with both the Wiener process and the fractional Brownian process
and its generalizations.
Course contents: Standard Cox-Ingersoll-Ross and Bessel processes: local
and global be- haviour of the trajectories as the functionals of
coefficients. Fractional Cox-Ingersoll-Ross and Bessel processes and their
main properties in dependence of the value of Hurst index. Drift
parameters estimation in the standard and fractional Cox-Ingersoll-Ross
models. Exact and ap- proximate option pricing under stochastic volatility
modeled by fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Functional limit
theorems for financial markets driven by fractional long-range de- pendent
processes. Fractional Gaussian noise: entropy and alternative entropy
functionals, an- alytical and computational problems related to
predictors. Gaussian-Volterra processes as the generalization of
fractional Brownian motion. Tempered fractional processes.

Introduction to determinantal random hypertrees
Matthew Kahle (Ohio State University)
Abstract: A hypertree is a simplicial complex that serves as a higher-dimensional analogue of a tree. We will discuss a natural model of random hypertree, inspired by enumerative work of Kalai and probabilistic work of Lyons. This model is a higher-dimensional analogue of a uniform spanning tree on a complete graph.
In this talk, we will take some time to carefully motivate and define the model, and then to discuss some of its probabilistic properties. Finally, we will overview some results of Andrew Newman's and mine about the basic properties of 2-dimensional determinantal random hypertrees. In particular, we will discuss torsion in homology and hyperbolicity of the fundamental group. I will not assume any topological prerequisites, and will aim to make the talk as self contained as possible.
Determinantal hypertrees and graph limits
András Mészáros (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics)
Abstract: We discuss how graph limit theory can provide us with useful tools to understand random simplicial complexes.
Extendending the result of Grimmett on the local weak limit of uniform random spanning trees of complete graphs, we describe the local weak limit of determinantal hypertrees.
Relying on the large deviation principle for the Erdős–Rényi random graph by Chatterjee and Varadhan, we give an upper bound on the mod 2 homology of 2-dimensional determinantal hypertrees.
If time permits, we discuss conjectures on the distribution of the p-torsion of the first integral homology group of 2-dimensional determinantal hypertrees.

1st OWABI Talk: 10-10.30am UK time
Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University)
Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data
Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London.
2nd Seminar: 10.30-11am UK time
Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University)
Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology
Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s),

Title: Fundamental bounds for the metrology of open quantum systems.
Abstract.
Quantum mechanics allows for enhanced measurement precision beyond classical limits by harnessing entanglement and/or long-time coherence. However, these resources are highly sensitive to noise, making their use in open quantum systems particularly challenging. At the same time, optimizing metrological protocolsกชanalytically or numericallyกชbecomes increasingly difficult as system size and measurement complexity grow. Nonetheless, for quantum systems governed by a master equation, it is possible to derive fundamental, protocol-independent bounds on achievable precision. These bounds provide an objective benchmark to assess existing strategies and identify potential for improvement. In this seminar, I will present these fundamental bounds, first introduced by A. Fujiwara and H. Imai and later extended by R. Demkowicz-Dobrzaจฝski, S. Zhou, L. Jiang, among others. I will illustrate the framework through examples involving interferometry and cavity parameter estimation under photon loss, with particular attention to critical metrology and continuous measurement in the steady-state regime.

Aula Picone del Dipartimento di Matematica G. Castelnuovo di Sapienza
Università di Roma
*Andrea Rinaldo (École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne & Università di
Padova)Clima, acqua, malattie e solidarietá nel mondo che cambia*
Sommario
Il clima sta cambiando rapidamente. Dobbiamo farlo anche noi, non
considerando scontati privilegi consolidati dal tempo, usi e tradizioni dei
luoghi, organizzazioni politiche e sociali, e le espressioni della
sensibilità collettiva. Serviranno letture attente del governo dell’acqua,
riflettendo su Ambiente naturale e costruito intorno a noi, e ripensamenti
del rapporto fra risorse e solidarietà, e sui modi e i tempi della
giustizia distributiva nella gestione delle risorse idriche. La mia tesi: i
grandi temi di salvaguardia legati al governo dell’acqua, e dunque alla
metastoria, riguardano sia il Nord che del Sud del mondo, e ci obbligano a
riflettere sulla relazione fra trasformazioni del paesaggio, usi del suolo
e dinamica delle risorse naturali, ma anche su un’etica dello sviluppo che
tenga conto di un’equa distribuzione dei privilegi e delle risorse. Il
seminario si propone in particolare di evidenziare il filo rosso che lega
la descrizione matematica di processi idrologici ed epidemiologici, e della
geometria della natura nel paesaggio fluviale, a temi centrali nella
valutazione della ricchezza e della povertà delle nazioni e nella economia
ambientale contemporanea.

RELATORI: Carlo Orrieri (Università di Pavia) e Luca Scarpa (Politecnico di
Milano)
TITOLO: Equazioni stocastiche doppiamente nonlineari e relativi problemi di
regolarizzazione per rumore
RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verranno introdotte alcune
classi di equazioni di evoluzione in relazione alla modellizzazione di
problemi di transizione di fase.
Dal punto di vista matematico tali equazioni sono caratterizzate da una
dinamica doppiamente nonlineare che tipicamente non ne assicura la buona
positura. In particolare, l’unicità delle soluzioni viene a mancare.
Questo motiva l’introduzione e l'analisi di opportune formulazioni
stocastiche per tali modelli, nell’ottica di ottenere effetti di
regolarizzazione per rumore.
Nella seconda parte il problema di regolarizzazione per rumore verrà
inquadrato nel contesto più generale di equazioni di evoluzione stocastiche
con drift singolare e verranno presentati alcuni risultati di unicità.
L'applicabilità di tali tecniche identificherà naturalmente un concetto di
criticità che porrà le equazioni doppiamente nonlineari in un regime
supercritico. Per queste verrà fornito infine un risultato parziale di
stabilità per rumore.
I risultati presentati nei seminari sono stati ottenuti in collaborazione
con F. Bertacco (Imperial College London) e U. Stefanelli (Università di
Vienna).
