---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jan Maas <jan.maas(a)ist.ac.at> Date: Mon, Oct 9, 2017 at 10:46 AM Subject: Summer School in Probability and Mathematical Physics at IST Austria To: pmp-2018(a)ist.ac.at Dear colleagues, IST Austria organizes a Summer School in Probability and Mathematical Physics which takes place on June 4-8, 2018. The school consists of three lecture series by eminent mathematicians: Hugo Duminil-Copin (IHES): Sharp threshold phenomena via randomized algorithms Martin Hairer (Imperial College London): A BPHZ theorem for stochastic PDEs Jason Miller (University of Cambridge): The Gaussian free field and Liouville quantum gravity The event is aimed at a broad audience of researchers, particularly focusing on PhD students and postdocs. It takes place at the campus of IST Austria, a young international institute dedicated to basic research and graduate education in the natural and mathematical sciences. The institute is located in Klosterneuburg on the outskirts of Vienna. Limited support is available for partially covering the costs of travel and/or accommodation for qualified (PhD) students and postdocs. More information and a registration form can be found at http://ist.ac.at/pmp2018/ We would be grateful if you could bring this information to the attention of researchers who may be interested to attend.

seminar at LUISS
by Marco Scarsini 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Thursday October 12 from 12:00 to 13:00, room 207 Department of Economics and Finance LUISS viale Romania 32 00197 Roma. Speaker: Fabio Martinelli Title: Bootstrap percolation and interacting particle systems with kinetic constraints Abstract: Recent years have seen a great deal of progress in understanding the behavior of bootstrap percolation models, a particular class of monotone cellular automata. In the two-dimensional lattice, there is now a quite satisfactory understanding of their evolution starting from a random initial condition, with a strikingly beautiful universality picture for their critical behavior (length and time scales). Much less is known for their non-monotone stochastic counterpart, namely kinetically constrained models (KCM). In KCMs the state of each vertex which could be infected by the bootstrap percolation rules is resampled (independently among the vertices) at rate one by tossing a p-coin. In particular, the infection can also heal, hence the non-monotonicity. Besides their connection with bootstrap percolation, KCMs have a strong interest in their own: as p ↓ 0 they display some of the most striking features of the liquid/glass transition, a major and still largely open problem in condensed matter physics. In this talk, after an introductory first part, I shall discuss (i) some recent conjectures relating the universality behavior of critical KCMs to their bootstrap percolation counterpart and (ii) some very recent progress towards proving the above conjectures. Joint project with C. Toninelli (Univ. Paris VII) and R. Morris (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro) ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

PhD Course on Hawkes Processes and Applications in Finance
by Carlo Sgarra 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

In my previous message announcing a PhD Course at Politecnico di Milano on "Hawkes Processes and Applications in Finance" a systematic misprint on the dates of the lectures appeared. The lectures will take place in JANUARY 2018, not January 2017 (as appearing in the previous message); the other informations concerning classrooms, days and times were correct. I apologize for the misprint. Kind Regards, Carlo Sgarra

Seminario KAKAMU

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 13 Ottobre 2017, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terra' il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Kazuhiko KAKAMU (Kobe University) HOW DOES MONETARY POLICY AFFECT INCOME INEQUALITY IN JAPAN? EVIDENCE FROM GROUPED DATA We examine the effects of monetary policy on income inequality in Japan using a novel econometric approach that jointly estimates the Gini coefficient based on micro-level grouped data of households and the dynamics of macroeconomic quantities. Our results indicate different effects on income inequality depending on the monetary policy measure under consideration: A traditional rate increase decreases income inequality, whereas a reduction of asset purchases leads to more inequality. Movements of inflation expectations and equity prices might account for theses differences. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

avviso di seminario - Univ. Milano-Bicocca
by Emanuela Rosazza 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Si avvisa che il giorno mercoledì 11 ottobre alle ore 16 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- Sala del Consiglio) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Prof. Giorgio Ferrari (Università di Bielefeld, Germania) Titolo: “On a Class of Optimal Dividend Problems with Capital Injection” Abstract: In this talk I present some recent results on the optimal dividend problem with capital injection. That is the problem of a fund manager aiming at maximising the discounted dividend payments, net of the penalised discounted capital injections needed to avoid bankruptcy of the fund. In our model the surplus dynamics is driven by a general linearly controlled one-dimensional diffusion, that is reflected at zero. Moreover, we assume that the dividend payments are subject to surplus-dependent taxes/transaction costs. We show that depending on the properties of the surplus-dependent taxes/transaction costs we can have different kinds of optimal strategies for the dividend payments. Either it is optimal to follow a classical barrier strategy, or not paying dividend at all is the best thing to do. 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 *******************************************************************************************
