“A world of copulas”
Prof. Roberto Ghiselli Ricci
(Università Ca‘ Foscari Venezia)
Abstract
A journey into the most outstanding family of aggregation functions given by the Copulas. They are particularly intriguing, because, on the one hand, they offer a theoretically fertile field of study with deep connections with different branches of mathematics such as Differential Calculus and even Group Theory, and, on the other hand, as consequence of the seminal Sklar's Theorem (1969), they are an essential tool for building refined stochastic models able to satisfy properties required by real problems.
Best Regards
Sabrina Mulinacci

*Title: Vibrodynamics of constrained mechanical systems*
*Abstract: We study the effect of rapid vibration of constraining surfaces
of arbitrary codimension on a confined mechanical particle. The slow
dynamics experience an effective potential force coming from the geometry
of the vibrating surface, which can introduce new equilibria and change
stability character of existing ones. A classical example is Kapitza's
stabilization of the inverted pendulum with a vibrating pivot. After
developing this formalism for finite dimensional systems, we generalize to
infinite dimensions by analogy and study the resulting vibrogenic forces
for inextensible threads and incompressible fluids. The thread effectively
becomes elastic, and the fluid evolves as a variant of the incompressible
inhomogeneous system. This is joint work with D. Glukhovskiy.*
Cari colleghi
di seguito l'annuncio di un seminario organizzato nell'ambito delle
attività dell'IRL LYSM INdAM-CNRS, a cui siete tutti cordialmente
invitati a partecipare.

Martedì 6 maggio, ore 10:30,
Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo,
Sapienza Università di Roma,
P.le A. Moro 5, 00185 Roma
Speaker: Lucia Caramellino (Univ. Roma Tor Vergata)
Title: Regularization lemmas and applications
Abstract: The talk focuses on some regularization results that allow
one to prove estimates in the total variation distance, typically by
upgrading already known estimates holding in the Wasserstein distance.
In all this, tools from Malliavin calculus will play a crucial role.
Some applications will then be discussed.
The talk is mainly based on the papers "Regularization lemmas and
convergence in total variation", with V. Bally and G. Poly (EJP 2020),
and "Convergence in Total Variation for nonlinear functionals of random
hyperspherical harmonics", with G. Giorgio and M. Rossi (JFA 2024).

*Numerical approximation of ergodic BSDEs using nonlinear*
*Feynman-Kac formulas*
Abstract: We study the numerical approximation of a class of ergodic
Backward Stochastic Differential Equations. In order to build our
numerical scheme, we put forward a new representation of the PDE
solution by using a classical probabilistic representation of the
gradient. Then, based on this representation, we propose a fully
implementable numerical scheme using a Picard iteration procedure, a
grid space discretization and a Monte-Carlo approximation. Up to a
limiting technical condition that guarantees the contraction of the
Picard procedure, we obtain an upper bound for the numerical error. We
also provide some numerical experiments that show the efficiency of this
approach for small dimensions.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…>
Venerdì 09/05/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:

12.00-13.00
Speaker: Marc HOFFMAN (UNIVERSITÉ PARIS-DAUPHINE)
Title: some questions in mathematical statistics linked to evolution PDEs
Abstract: Evolution models in applications are often analyzed via PDEs, interpreted as a macroscopic description of the phenomenon of interest. This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires an underlying stochastic model. This is usually treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily.
Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasize the interest of our approach.

Dear colleagues,
you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano.
Wednesday, 7 May 2025, 12.15-13.15
Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus)

Title: The Zero-Theta Hedge Contract.
Abstract: We examine long-dated asset valuation under systematic and idiosyncratic risk, driven by extreme trajectories. By introducing the zero-Theta hedge contract, a negative-Delta derivative security with a maturity-independent price, we study investor attitudes toward systematic long-run crashes. Declining expected payoff with maturity signal strong crash aversion. The contract aids in decomposing the stochastic discount factor, shedding light on long-run crash risk premia. Even for volatile assets whose price comes from idiosyncratic rallies, systematic long-run crashes remain central to long-run risk valuation.
Based on a joint work with Anna Battauz and Marzia De Donno.
Next seminars: Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich), 5 June 12.00.
Marco Tolotti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 9 June 12.15.

Buongiorno a tutti,
Vorremmo segnalarvi che lunedì prossimo (5 Maggio) in aula 1BC45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di:
Jacopo Borga (MIT)
<https://www.jacopoborga.com/> https://www.jacopoborga.com
Title: Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces
Date: May 5, 2025, at 14:30, room 1BC45
Abstract: Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime:
1. A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d.
2. An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops.
Previous results to the two aforementioned points were established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak.
