Perkowski, Nikolay Tzvetkov and Hendrik Weber, and a few invited talks by
experts in the field. More information can be found at:

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO
Venerdì 28 Febbraio 2020, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:
------------------------------------------------
Dario TREVISAN (Università di Pisa)
THE LAW OF THE OPTIMAL MAP IN RANDOM EUCLIDEAN MATCHING PROBLEMS
Random bipartite Euclidean matching problems can be seen as specific instances of optimal transport problems involving two random empirical measures, with a cost given by the Euclidean distance between pairs of sampled points. A heuristic approach, exploiting this connection and using a non-rigorous ``linearization'' of the problem, has been proposed in the physics literature (by Caracciolo et al. in 2014) strongly supported by numerical simulations. From a mathematical point of view, despite some partial success in the two dimensional case, many conjectures concerning asymptotics of matching/transportation costs and laws of optimal matchings/couplings remain open for a wide range of costs and geometries, especially in higher dimensional domains. Aim of this talk will be to review their current status, focusing on some recent results providing, in the two dimensional case, precise estimates on the distance between the optimal matching map and its ``linearized'' approximation (based on joint work with L. Ambrosio and F. Glaudo).
------------------------------------------------
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.
Cordiali saluti,
Stefano Favaro
Ho il piacere di annunciare il seguente seminario di Maurizia Rossi (Università di Milano-Bicocca):
"Random waves: a probabilistic overview with an accent on Geometry"
che si terrà mercoledì 26 febbraio 2020 alle ore 14:00 in aula U5-3014 (Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicocca). Trovate l'abstract di seguito.
Il seminario è rivolto a un pubblico matematico ampio. Tutti gli interessati, a partire dai dottorandi, sono invitati a partecipare.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Abstract. The geometry of (deterministic) Laplace eigenfunctions on manifolds is a challenging research topic, several natural questions are still open in their full generality, for instance Yau's conjecture on nodal volumes. A probabilistic counterpart of these questions aroused great interest recently, in particular for the universal behavior of high-energy eigenfunctions (the so-called Berry's ansatz). In this talk we investigate the geometry of random waves on manifolds, i.e. geometrical properties of their excursion sets. The aim is to give an introduction to this theory and, if time permits, to present some of the most recent results in this area.

Dear colleagues,
on Tuesday, 25 February 2020, at 12:00, Prof. Giorgio Ferrari (Bielefeld University) will give a talk
"On The Free Boundaries of Two Multi-dimensional Singular Stochastic Control Problems with Interconnected Dynamics"
at LUISS "G. Carli" University, Department of Economics and Finance, viale Romania 32, room 304b.
------------
Abstract:
We present two continuous-time stochastic control problems involving controls of bounded-variation. Those problems are motivated by questions arising in macroeconomic theory - as the optimal control of inflation via interest rates - and in operations research - as the optimal management of an inventory having impact on the demand of a good - and their characteristic is that the drift of a diffusive component of the two-dimensional state variable is an affine function of a purely controlled process. The objective is to minimize an expected cost functional involving a running cost function and proportional costs of control.
By relying on a combination of techniques from viscosity theory and free-boundary analysis, we provide the structure of the value function and we show that it satisfies a so-called second-order smooth-fit principle. Such a regularity is then exploited in order to determine a system of functional equations solved by the two monotone continuous curves (free boundaries) that split the control problem's state space in three connected regions. In one of the two considered problems, the free boundaries are even shown to be classical solutions to a system of first-order nonlinear ODEs.
This is based on joint works with Salvatore Federico (University of Siena) and Patrick Schuhmann (University of Bielefeld).

All interested people are kindly invited to participate.

Dear all,
please allow me to bring to your attention the 2020 LTI@UniTO Call for
Fellowships, which you can find here
https://www.carloalberto.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/LTI-CALL-March-2020…
Long-Term Investors@UniTo (LTI@UniTO) is pleased to announce the
availability of 8 Research Fellowships for the year 2020.
LTI@UniTO is a think tank established as a joint initiative of the
Università di Torino and of the major Italian market players in long
term financing. Through the Fellowship program, LTI@UniTO aims to foster
research in long-term investing and to assess its features,
perspectives, contribution to growth and stability. The think tank
supports independent research and informs the debate between long-term
investors and policymakers. Candidates must send their application (CV +
research program, approximately 2 pages) to
lti_applications(a)carloalberto.org before midnight, ECT, March 22nd,
2020. Up to 4 senior and 4 junior fellowships can be awarded. For more
information visit
https://www.carloalberto.org/research/lti
Senior Fellowships are targeted at applicants with a publication history
in top Finance/Econ academic journals. Receivers of the fellowships will
conduct their own research for a period of two months at UNITO. Total
remuneration (for the entire period – gross and including all expenses):
€ 18000.
Junior Fellowships are targeted at either PhD candidates or scholars
with a PhD in Finance, Economics or a related field. Receivers of the
fellowships will conduct research under the supervision of a Senior
Fellow or a UNITO/Collegio’s Finance faculty for a period of two months
at UNITO. Remuneration (for the entire period – gross and including all
expenses): € 6000.
The research programs should be related to one of the themes in the
Strategic List below and must be included in the Application.
STRATEGIC LIST
• Interaction between financial markets and the real economy including
start-up funding, impact finance, infrastructure, SME financing;
• Role of LTIs in traditional financial markets (systemic risk,
stability, pro or countercyclicality, liquidity and impact on
prices...), as well as on private markets;
• Risk and return of private markets (private equity, private debt,
private placements);
• Asset Management or ALM of LTIs, including past experiences, models,
benchmarking, constraints on expenditures and liabilities;
• Mandates, delegation and effectiveness of monitoring (short term
accountability versus long-term strategies);
• Optimal contracts in delegated portfolio management: what is the
effectiveness of using benchmarking and bonus/target incentive schemes;
• The collective costs of short-horizon investment and their control
(regulatory constraints);
• Fintech for LTIs (e.g., robo-advice): opportunities and risks;
• Benefits and costs of financial regulation and macro prudential
policies that matter to LTIs;
• Real estate and real estate funds: risk, return and their role in the
ALM of LTIs;
• LTIs, sustainable finance and Green Financing.
