seminario Felix Liebrich - 22 novembre
by Emanuela Rosazza 06 Nov '18

06 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 *******************************************************************************************

Avviso di seminario

Avviso di Seminario Martedì 6 Novembre, ore 14:30 presso la Facoltà di Economia dell'Università di Roma "Tor Vergata" Aula A, Edificio B ELISA ALOS (Università Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) terrà un seminario dal titolo "On smile properties of volatility derivatives and exotic products: understanding the VIX skew" Abstract. We develop a method to study the implied volatility for exotic options and volatility derivatives with European payoffs such as VIX options. Our approach, based on Malliavin calculus techniques, allows us to describe the properties of the at-the-money implied volatility (ATMI) in terms of the Malliavin derivatives of the underlying process. More precisely, we study the short-time behaviour of the ATMI level and skew. As an application, we describe the short-term behavior of the ATMI of VIX and realized variance options in terms of the Hurst parameter of the model, and most importantly we describe the class of volatility processes that generate a positive skew for the VIX implied volatility. In addition, we find that our ATMI asymptotic formulae perform very well even for large maturities. Several numerical examples are provided to support our theoretical results. -- Dott.

Torino - Lezione Lagrangiana M. Hairer - 13 Novembre
by Enrico Priola 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Annuncio Lezione Lagrangiana al Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano", Universita` di Torino Martedì 13 novembre alle ore 16.30 in Aula A Martin Hairer (Imperial College, London) "Taming Infinities" Abstract: Some physical and mathematical theories have the unfortunate feature that if one takes them at face value, many quantities of interest appear to be infinite! What's worse, this doesn't just happen for some exotic theories, but in the standard theories describing some of the most fundamental aspects of nature. Various techniques, usually going under the common name of “renormalisation” have been developed over the years to address this, allowing mathematicians and physicists to tame these infinities. We will tip our toes into some of the conceptual and mathematical aspects of these techniques and we will see how they have recently been used to study equations whose meaning was not even clear until now. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Enrico Priola Dipartimento di Matematica Universita' di Torino via Carlo Alberto 10, 10123 TORINO, Italy tel +39 011 6702883 fax +39 011 6702878

The Aldous spectral gap phenomenon: seminario di Filippo Cesi il 14-11-2018 a Roma Tre
by Pietro Caputo 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Prof. Filippo Cesi Universita' La Sapienza Roma Titolo: THE ALDOUS' SPECTRAL GAP PHENOMENON Mercoledi' 14 Novembre 2018 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo, 1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Abstract: Some families of Markov chains have a spectral gap which coincides with the spectral gap of an extremely simplified version of the chain. Another way of restating the same concept is: some families of Cayley graphs have a spectral gap which can be found in a very low dimensional representation of the underlying group. We will present a general approach which could be useful when going fishing for this phenomenon in an arbitrary finite group. Two specific examples will be discussed: the case of the symmetric group which corresponds to the "original" Aldous' spectral gap conjecture, proven in 2010 by Caputo, Liggett and Richthammer, and case of the Weyl group W(B_n) we studied in a recent paper.

Postdoc - Hokkaido University
by Paolo Dai Pra 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Vi inoltro l'annuncio di una borsa postdoc alla Hokkaido University. Paolo Dai Pra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I announce a Postdoc position in my group project under the CREST project ``Technology for Computing Revolution for Society 5.0": http://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/crest/en/research_area/ongoing/areah30-4.html Team Hokkaido is trying to build a new computing system based on the Ising model. The team consists of four groups, one of which is my Mathematical Science Group. There are 11 other members, 4 of which are faculty members, 7 others are graduate students. We are investigating the following problems rigorously: 1. Find a best possible embedding of an Ising model on a irregular graph to an Ising model on a given regular graph. 2. Find the ground state of the above Ising model on the regular graph by a sampler faster than, say, Glauber dynamics. 3. Find how stable the ground state is against noise in coupling coefficients and/or external magnetic fields. 4. Find killer applications of the Ising computer. The posdoc position is a 2-year position, starting from April 2019 the earliest, with possible 2-year extension (depending on performance). The net salary will be ranging from 3,769,524 JPY to 5,689,524 JPY (depending on previous experiences). The deadline of application (send via email a CV and a list of publications to: sakai(a)math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp) is set on December 15, 2018. Best regards, Akira Sakai Department of Mathematics Hokkaido University Nishi 8-chome, Kita 10-jo, Kita-ku Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0810 JAPAN http://www.math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp/~sakai sakai(a)math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp

Seminario a Bologna del prof. Macci
by Massimo Campanino 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Il giorno mercoledì 7 novembre alle ore 17 nell'aula al VII piano del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna in piazza Porta S. Donato 5 il prof. Claudio Macci del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata terrà un seminario dal titolo Asymptotic behavior of some hitting probabilities for sums of IID Gaussian random sets Abstract: We consider sequences of partial sums of iid Gaussian random sets (with respect to the Minkowski sum) and we study t he asymptotic behavior of some hitting probabilities (of suitable sets of $R^d$) for these partial sums. We also illustrate the use of the importance sampling for the estimation of these hitting probabilities by Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain the analog of well-known results for level crossing probabilities of random walks, and we refer to a version of the classical Cramér's Theorem in large deviations for random compact sets existing in the literature.
