seminario Felix Liebrich - 22 novembre - REMINDER
by Emanuela Rosazza 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Si avvisa che il giorno giovedì 22 novembre alle ore 14 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- aula 4026) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Felix-Benedikt Liebrich (LMU Muenchen, Germany) Titolo: “Sharing utility and risk under (partial) law-invariance” Abstract: The so-called risk sharing problem has two variants: (1) How can an aggregation of individual utilities within a system of agents be maximised by means of distributing a certain good, or (2) how can an aggregation of individual risks be minimised by means of redistributing a certain loss the system incurs? The problem has a long history in economics and financial mathematics, and solving it in relevant infinite dimensional spaces is very challenging. Substantial results have been obtained in the context of Pareto efficiency of such sharing schemes when law-invariant (risk) preferences are involved. These rank Savage acts -- random variables -- in a way which only depends on their distribution under a fixed reference probability measure. It was shown that Pareto efficient allocations (i.e. sharing schemes) exist. For problem (1) of maximising aggregated utility, the talk presents a unifying framework in which solutions to the risk sharing problem can be found. As applications, we will discuss the existence of weakly Pareto efficient allocations, Pareto efficient allocations, and core allocations. In a second part, we solve the risk sharing problem (2) for a wide class of capital requirements determining individual risks. These will not be law-invariant functionals, but build on a law-invariant ingredient. The talk is based on joint work with Gregor Svindland. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Un saluto cordiale, Emanuela ******************************************************************************************* Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Università di Milano-Bicocca Edificio U7 – 4° Piano Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 20126 Milano Tel. 02 64483208 Fax. 02 64483105 e-mail: emanuela.rosazza1(a)unimib.it *******************************************************************************************

Statistics Seminar 2018 Giovedì 29 Novembre 2018 alle ore 15:00 presso l' Aula II della Scuola di Economia, Management e Statistica - Piazza Scaravilli 1-2 il Prof. Nicola Cufaro Petroni (Dipartimento di Matematica e TIRES, Università degli Studi di Bari e INFN) terrà il seminario dal titolo: Thou shalt not say “at random” in vain: Bertrand’s paradox exposed Abstract: We show by means of a few examples that the well known Bertrand paradoxes do not point to any probabilistic inconsistency, but rather to the risks incurred with a careless use of the locution at random. Empirical remarks are added Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Cordiali saluti Alberto Lanconelli Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Paolo Fortunati" Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

Ricevo ed inoltro. Cristian Giardina' ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ivan Corwin <ivan.corwin(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 5:43 PM Subject: UVA Integrable Probability summer school Dear all, Could you distribute this summer school announcement to your seminar list and any one else who you think may want to apply. Best, Ivan ****************** Dear colleagues, The Focused Research Group on Integrable Probability is organizing a Summer School at University of Virginia, May 27 to June 8, 2019. The school is aimed to educate graduate students and young researchers in recent trends around Integrable Probability - a rapidly developing field at the interface of probability / mathematical physics / statistical physics on the one hand, and representation theory / integrable systems on the other. There will be 4 mini-courses: Week 1 - Dmitry Chelkak (École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France) - Ole Warnaar (University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia) Week 2 - Tomohiro Sasamoto (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan) - Paul Zinn-Justin (University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia) We have some NSF support to cover accommodation at a University of Virginia residence hall, and to partially contribute towards travel expenses (the travel support amount depends on the number of interested participants). Preference will be given to graduate students, postdocs, early career researchers, and members of underrepresented groups. Deadlines: - To request residence hall accommodation: January 5, 2019 - To request financial support: March 1, 2019 - General registration: April 20, 2019 More information and registration: http://vipss.int-prob.org/ Scientific Committee: Jinho Baik, Alexei Borodin, Ivan Corwin, Vadim Gorin, Leo Petrov Organizers: Leo Petrov, Axel Saenz
