Gentili colleghe e colleghi, Vi segnalo con piacere il seguente seminario che si terrà Venerdì 22 Aprile dalle 9:30 alle 10:30 in modalità mista. Location: Aula 215, Plesso Morgagni, Viale Giovan Battista Morgagni 40, 50134 Firenze Link alla videochiamata: https://meet.google.com/rps-uiyj-bhj <https://meet.google.com/rps-uiyj-bhj> Speaker: Seonwoo Kim (Seoul National University) Title: Metastability of Ising/Potts models on lattices in the low-temperature regime Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss metastability of the Ising/Potts model with zero external field in two or three dimensions. Metastable transitions in the case of zero field occur along a large saddle plateau, which can be divided into bulk and edge parts. Transitions on the bulk part are one-dimensional and thus easy to analyze, whereas transitions on the edge part are much more complex. In two dimension, I will characterize them in a very precise manner. On the other hand in three dimension, it is impossible to find such a precise characterization and thus I present an alternative abstract method to analyze the metastable behavior. This talk is based on a joint work with Insuk Seo at Seoul National University.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 22 Aprile 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Johannes Schmidt-Hieber* (University of Twente) Title: *A theoretical comparison of deep learning and Bayes with deep Gaussian process priors* Abstract: Deep neural networks have received a lot of attention recently and considerable progress has been made to build an underlying mathematical foundation. In a first part of the talk, we summarize some statistical convergence results. Deep Gaussian process priors can be viewed as continuous analogues of Bayesian neural networks and this raises the question whether there is a closer link with deep learning. In the second part of the talk, we show that the posterior for a suitable deep Gaussian process prior can achieve fast posterior contraction rates and discuss the connection with deep learning. This is joint work with Gianluca Finocchio. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/wxwecLUnpZ2GEsWh9 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83612787995?pwd=SE1CR2ZGdmxxZmNWUmx2WS9XNXdtdz09> Meeting ID: 836 1278 7995 Passcode: 612986 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario di Probabilità
by Paolo Dai Pra 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Cari colleghi, vi invito al seguente seminario. Date: 20 Aprile 2022, 14:30 Venue: Ca’ Vignal 2, Università di Verona, Aula G Speaker: Luisa Andreis, Università di Firenze Title: An introduction to phase transitions in coagulation processes and random graphs Abstract: Sparse inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are independent but distributed according to the type of the vertices that they are connecting. These graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erd ̋os Renyi model. In this talk we will introduce an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes coagulation processes and the phase transition of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components.

Seminar by J. Teichmann in Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Prof. Josef Teichmann (ETH Zürich) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 20/04/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: Signature SDEs from an affine and polynomial perspective Affine or polynomial processes are fascinating classes of models due to the so-called affine transform formulae or moment formulae, respectively. We first show through a linearization procedure that generic classes of diffusion models can be obtained as projections of infinite dimensional affine processes (which actually coincide with polynomial processes). Affine and polynomial technology next allows to derive so far unknown formulae for characteristic functions and moments of involved process functionals. Third a dynamic viewpoint on those formulae (combined with machine learning approaches) leads to efficient numerical evaluations.

Past smoothed overnight market returns strongly negatively forecast subsequent close-to-close returns (quarterly R2 of over 14%), primarily through intraday mean reversion. In contrast, past smoothed intraday market returns strongly positively forecast subsequent overnight returns; this partially-offsetting effect explains PE's relatively poor forecasting ability (R2 only 3%). Our decomposition also resurrects the conditional CAPM: If we allow market betas to vary with past smoothed overnight returns, the unconditional alpha of the four Fama-French non-market factors decreases by 91%. We interpret these return patterns through a clientele perspective. First, individual investor expectations and consumption growth strongly positively forecast overnight market returns; intermediary risk tolerance and household equity share strongly negatively forecast intraday market returns. Second, aggregate discount-rate news associated with revisions in future expected overnight (intraday) returns is positively (negatively) correlated with aggregate cash-flow news. Finally, while the Tech boom and Covid crash/rebound were primarily driven by overnight returns, the Global Financial Crisis was mostly an intraday phenomenon. <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend in presence, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/AeJ-WyYc_gvUq2mT72rqiHtFvTQ6jPrbiV…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/vQ-81gGUFwr92prMcO1wAos1prgrpZtXYC…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *April 20, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *Strategic Leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility* *Rui Albuquerque (Carrol School of Management, Boston College)* <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *Abstract.* We propose a strategic theory of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Shareholder maximizers commit to a mission statement that extends beyond firm value maximization. This commitment leads firms (either product market competitors or complementors along the value chain) to change their actions in ways that ultimately favor shareholders. We thus provide a formal analysis of the “doing well by doing good” adage. We also provide conditions such that the mission statement game has the nature of a pure coordination game. Our framework thus provides a natural theory of firm leadership in a CSR context: by selecting a CSR mission statement, a first mover effectively leads the industry to a Pareto optimal equilibrium. <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sWQz91Ig64g-hKPI0qtXuwSrmqF9ks4uXO…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/a5FFG16ZzGA4wKp6TEcOSC5UJL-ct_fbpI…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/w9EAxMXTRoVQWw8rge58Ur5Q9h1azrMGGu…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ryYmaMlVZUN48CzZ1ArQlrckik3y2zJD7c…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org [image: Facebook] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/wh_Khsc6qoONJjjfPj_n-Lb6YoAirMTUXv…> [image: Twitter] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/UnCsCKFdXGIuCX9lfeGpe6ph-BAbL3z-0f…> [image: LinkedIn] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/tB9Ns4ARnwiSodkGn2ubnmU1M9x11LPrz4…> [image: Instagram] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/QoIO7jUPYXlgktVaTw_Tvc2g1WfpgXZgB4…> [image: Youtube] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/vBC6AeuPt0mow4OYvvHSCpa0bGiKvCbuof…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.
