Seminar Alexandra Holzinger - Luiss
by Marta Leocata 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>) is pleased to announce the following seminar: Speaker: Alexandra Holzinger, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford Title: Fluctuations around the mean-field limit for attractive Riesz interaction kernels in the moderate regime When: April 3, 14:30 Where: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome Meeting room: 405 Abstract: In this talk I will give a short introduction to moderately interacting particle systems and the general notion of fluctuations around the mean-field limit. We will see how a central limit theorem can be shown for moderately interacting particles on the whole space for certain types of interaction potentials. The interaction potential approximates singular attractive potentials of sub-Coulomb type and we can show that the fluctuations become asymptotically Gaussians. The methodology is inspired by the classical work of Oelschläger in the 1980s on fluctuations for the porous-medium equation. To allow for attractive potentials we use a new approach of quantitative mean-field convergence in probability in order to include aggregation effects. Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail. Best wishes, Marta Leocata

Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found in https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/. Registration is free through the web form: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. We would be grateful if you could circulate the announcement among potentially interested students and researchers. For any information do not hesitate to contact us (patterns(a)gssi.it). ———————————————— Venue for all courses: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) ———————————————— Introduction to probabilistic aspects of integrable systems Lecturer: Makiko Sasada (The University of Tokyo) 14/4 (Mon) 9:00-10:30 15/4 (Tue) 14:15-15:45 16/4 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 17/4 (Thu) 9:00-10:30 In recent years, there has been growing interest in the study of integrable systems from the perspectives of statistical mechanics and probability theory. The theory of generalized hydrodynamics, developed by mathematical physicists, suggests that the macroscopic behavior of integrable systems is highly universal. To mathematically substantiate such theories with concrete models, a type of cellular automaton called the box-ball system (BBS) has been extensively studied by probabilists in recent years. The BBS, which exhibits solitonic behavior, has been studied from various viewpoints, such as tropical geometry, combinatorics, and representation theory, over 30 years. However, research from the probabilistic perspective began only about 10 years ago. Recently, probabilistic approaches, including the application of the Pitman transform, analysis of invariant measures, and scaling limits, have rapidly expanded. These have revealed new connections between probability theory and classical integrable systems, showing that the macroscopic behavior of integrable systems exhibits a universality distinct from that of chaotic systems. In this lecture, I will introduce these new research topics, mainly focusing on the box-ball system, and present the rigorous results obtained in the past several years, starting from the basic concepts. ———————————————— Long range order in atomistic models for solids Lecturer: Alessandro Giuliani (Rome Tre) 28/4 (Mon) 16:15-17:45 29/4 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 30/4 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 & 14:15-15:45 The emergence of long range order at low temperatures in atomistic systems with continuous symmetry is a fundamental, yet poorly understood phenomenon in physics. To address this challenge I will introduce a discrete microscopic model for an elastic crystal with dislocations in three dimensions, originally proposed by Ariza and Ortiz. The model is rich enough to support some realistic features of three-dimensional dislocation theory, most notably grains and the Read-Shockley law for grain boundaries, which I will review and show how to derive microscopically in the context of the Ariza-Ortiz model, at least in a simple, explicit geometry. I will also explain how to analyze the model at positive temperatures, in terms of a Gibbs distribution with energy function given by the Ariza–Ortiz Hamiltonian plus a contribution from the dislocation cores. The main result is that the model exhibits Long Range Positional Order (LRPO) at low temperatures. Its proof is based on the tools of discrete exterior calculus, together with cluster expansion techniques. In this mini-course I will introduce these methods and explain how to combine them in order to prove existence of LRPO. Time permitting, I will discuss some perspectives about the extension of these ideas and methods to two dimensions. Based on joint work with Florian Theil. ———————————————— Fluctuations in exclusion processes Lecturer: Oriane Blondel (University of Lyon 1) 28/4 (Mon) 10:45-12:15 29/4 (Tue) 9:00-10:30 & 14:15-15:45 30/4 (Wed) 16:15-17:45 We will focus on weakly asymmetric exclusion processes on the line or half-line, and investigate their fluctuations out of equilibrium. We will review the various tools used in proving convergence to the KPZ equation in the strategy initiated in [Bertini-Giacomin ‘97] and discuss how they can be adapted to the singular initial condition that arises when one considers fluctuations of the facilitated exclusion process at the interface. ———————————————— With our best wishes, Lu Xu Assistant Professor (RTDb) Gran Sasso Science Institute

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Sergios AGAPIOU (University of Cyprus)

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 04/04/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Sergios AGAPIOU (University of Cyprus) Title: HEAVY-TAILED BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRIC ADAPTATION OVER BESOV SPACES Abstract: We will consider the Bayesian recovery of an unknown function from direct observations polluted by white Gaussian noise, and we will be interested in studying the asymptotic performance of the posterior in the infinitely informative data limit, in terms of rates of contraction. We will be especially interested in priors which are adaptive to the smoothness of the unknown function. In the past decade, certain hierarchical and empirical Bayes procedures based on Gaussian process priors, have been shown to achieve adaptation to spatially homogenous smoothness. However, we have recently shown that Gaussian priors are suboptimal for spatially inhomogeneous unknowns, that is, functions which are smooth in some areas and rough or even discontinuous in other areas of their domain. Such unknowns are abundant in applications such as imaging, and can be modeled using Besov spaces, which generalize (the more widely known) Sobolev and Hölder spaces. In contrast to Gaussian priors, we have shown that (similar) hierarchical and empirical Bayes procedures based on Laplace (series) priors, achieve adaptation to both homogeneously and inhomogeneously smooth functions. All of these procedures involve the tuning of a hyperparameter of the Gaussian or Laplace prior. We will introduce Besov spaces and will recall their minimax theory developed in the mid-late 90’s and has various interesting features. After reviewing the above Bayesian results, we will present a new strategy for adaptation to smoothness based on heavy-tailed priors. Specifically, we will show that adaptive rates of contraction in the minimax sense (up to logarithmic factors) are achieved without tuning of any hyperparameters. This adaptation is achieved for both homogeneously and inhomogeneously smooth unknowns, in particular, we will show that the studied heavy-tailed priors are adaptive over all Besov spaces and for all L^p-losses, for p from 1 up to infinity. Extensive numerical simulations corroborating the theory will be presented as well. This is joint work with Masoumeh Dashti, Tapio Helin, Aimilia Savva and Sven Wang (Laplace priors), and Ismaël Castillo and Paul Egels (heavy-tailed priors) ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 02/04/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> .
