Probability Seminar by Ronan Herry (Univ. Rennes 1) at Milano-Bicocca
by Maurizia Rossi 25 Oct '26

25 Oct '26

Dear colleagues, I am glad to announce the following seminar, which will take place on *Friday, 30 October 2026, at 11:00* at the University of *Milano-Bicocca*, Department of Physics, *Building U2*, *Room 5017* (5th floor). Speaker: *Ronan Herry* (Université de Rennes) https://www.ronanherry.org/ *Title:* Limit distributions for polynomials with independent Gaussian entries. *Abstract:* In this talk, I will try to explain a recent result of Dominique Malicet, Guillaume Poly and myself where we proved that, for all integers d, the set polynomials of degree ≤ d evaluated in an i.i.d. Gaussian sequence is closed for the convergence in law. For people familiar with multiple stochastic integrals, it says that any limit in law of a sequence of a fixed degree d multiple integral can be represented as a sum of multiple integrals of degree ≤ d. In the first part of the talk I will motivate this result and give some consequences of our results. In the second part, I will illustrate the general strategy with the case d=2 and 3. Everyone is welcome to attend! Best regards, Maurizia Rossi -- Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://mauriziarossi.wordpress.com

Dear Colleagues, A P2 tenure-track position in Mathematics has opened at ICTP: https://careers.unesco.org/job/Trieste-Associate-Research-Officer-%28Mathem… Deadline is 9 November 2026 (midnight Paris time). It is advertised as a 1-year project appointment, but this is only for administrative reasons: the position is meant to be tenure-track. The call covers a broad range of maths (PDE, geometry, probability and statistics, algebra, analysis, number theory, dynamical systems), including more applied and computing-related aspects.

Colloquium di Dipartimento a Sapienza -- Jason Miller 29 Ottobre ore 17:00
by Silvestri, Vittoria 23 Oct '26

23 Oct '26

Cari colleghi, Segnalo che Giovedì prossimo a Sapienza *Jason Miller (Cambridge)* terrà il Colloquium di Dipartimento. Seguirà un rinfresco alle 18:00 aperto a tutti i partecipanti. *Data e ora:* Giovedì 29 Ottobre 17:00 *Luogo: *Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica G. Castelnuovo (Roma Sapienza) *Speaker: *Jason Miller (University of Cambridge) *Titolo: *The Ant in the Labyrinth *Abstract: *In 1976, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes posed the problem of the “ant in the labyrinth” to understand diffusion, including heat flow, in disordered media: how does a random walk on a percolation cluster behave over long times and large distances? This question has inspired decades of research in mathematics and physics and was an important motivation for the development of analysis on fractals. The problem is especially subtle at criticality since the large clusters have a fractal structure. Kesten showed in 1986 that in this setting in two dimensions the random walk is subdiffusive, meaning that it spreads out more slowly than an ordinary random walk, but identifying the scaling limit remained a long-standing open problem. In this talk, I will trace the mathematical history of the problem and then present recent work establishing the scaling limit of random walk on two-dimensional critical percolation clusters. This is based on joint work with Valeria Ambrosio, Irina Dankovic, Maarten Markering, and Yizheng Yuan. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Associate Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminario di Pietro Caputo a Roma1 (oggi)- Annuncio aggiornato
by Faggionato, Alessandra 21 Oct '26

21 Oct '26

Buongiorno, gli organizzatori mi hanno appena mandato un aggiornamento dell'annuncio inviato poco fa. Sotto l'annuncio aggiornato. Grazie Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Seminari di Fisica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" Università di Roma La Sapienza Mercoledì 21 ottobre, ore 16:00, *aula B* Pietro Caputo (Università di Roma Tre) *Nonlinear exchange dynamics for spin systems.* Abstract. We discuss a class of nonlinear exchange dynamics for interacting spin systems, inspired by Boltzmann-type equations from kinetic theory. These dynamics provide a nonlinear Monte Carlo approach for sampling Gibbs measures under prescribed magnetization or density constraints. We focus on the Ising and hard-core models and present convergence results showing exponential relaxation to equilibrium in the weak-interaction and low-density regimes, respectively, with optimal decay rates independent of the initial condition. The proofs are based on novel coupling techniques as well as ideas from the Kac program in kinetic theory, including uniform functional inequalities for the associated particle systems. We also discuss some possible algorithmic applications. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare.

Seminario di Probabilità a Sapienza -- Perla Sousi 27 Ottobre ore 14:00
by Silvestri, Vittoria 20 Oct '26

20 Oct '26

Cari colleghi, Segnalo il seguente seminario di Probabilità che si terrà Martedì prossimo a Sapienza. *Data e ora:* Martedì 27 Ottobre 14:00 *Luogo: *Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica G. Castelnuovo (Roma Sapienza) *Speaker:* Perla Sousi (University of Cambridge) *Titolo: *Capacity for branching random walks and percolation *Abstract: *The capacity of a set is a classical notion in potential theory and it is a measure of the size of a set as seen by a random walk or Brownian motion. Recently Zhu defined the notion of branching capacity as the analogue of capacity in the context of a branching random walk. In this talk I will describe joint work with Amine Asselah and Bruno Schapira where we introduce a notion of capacity of a set for critical bond percolation and I will explain how it shares similar properties as in the case of branching random walks. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Associate Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************
