Probability Seminar: Alberto Chiarini (TU Eidhoven) [Padova 27/02, 11.30]
by alessandra bianchi 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics of Padova, on February 27. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Alberto Chiarini (TU Eindhoven) Title: Entropic repulsion for the occupation-time field of random interlacements by disconnection. 27 FEBRUARY (Thursday) , 11:30, ROOM 430, Dip. di Matematica “Tullio Levi-Civita”, Via Trieste 63, Padova Abstract: The model of random interlacements was introduced in 2007 by A.-S. Sznitman, motivated by questions about the disconnection of discrete cylinders or tori by the trace of simple random walk. Since then, it has gained popularity among probabilists due to its percolative properties and also because of its connections to the free field. Random interlacements on transient graphs can be constructed as a Poisson point process of doubly infinite trajectories. After reviewing this model, we will focus on the rare event that these trajectories disconnect a macroscopic body from infinity, in the strongly percolative regime. We will ask the following question: What is the most efficient way for random interlacements to enforce such disconnection? In other words, how do the trajectories of random interlacements look like conditionally on disconnection? All of you are very welcome. Best regards, Alessandra Bianchi -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Workshop in Bath
by Giuseppe Cannizzaro 14 Feb '20

14 Feb '20

Ricevo e inoltro. Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to take part in the Bath Mathematical Symposium on PDE and Randomness which will take place at the University of Bath 26th August - 4th September The Symposium will consist of two events: 1) Summer school, August 26-28th: The school is aimed for a broad audience of researchers in the probability theory and the analysis of PDEs including PhD students and Postdocs. It will consist of three mini courses: • Roland Bauerschmidt (University of Cambridge, UK) - Log-Sobolev inequality and the renormalisation group • Hugo Duminil-Copin (IHES, France and University of Geneva, Switzerland) - Marginal triviality of the scaling limits of critical 4D Ising and ϕ^4_4 models • Martin Hairer (Imperial College London, UK) - Stochastic Yang Mills 2) Workshop August 31st - September 4: The workshop aims to explore current trends of the probability theory and its connections to PDEs and will have around 23 talks. Topics will include: SPDEs (e.g. parabolic, dispersive, 2d KPZ); Interacting Particle systems; Stochastic Homogenization. Please visit our webpage https://sites.google.com/view/pderandombath/ for more information and registration. You are more than welcome to apply for both school and workshop but you can also apply separately to either of the events. We can provide a limited number of rooms on campus of the University of Bath (either for the duration of the whole event or only for the school/workshop). If you would like to be considered for the accommodation please register before *20*/04/20. Please see the webpage for details. Best wishes, Hendrik Weber, Andris Gerasimovics

Seminar of Francesco Morandin and Alessandro Montagnani, Padova 18/02/2020
by barbato＠math.unipd.it 14 Feb '20

14 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics of Padova, on February 18. Speaker: Francesco Morandin Title: Turbulence, shell models and critical exponents for dissipation Abstract: Shell models of turbulence are nonlinear dynamical systems inspired by fluid dynamics. They are idealized and simplified, but tailored to exhibit the same energy cascade behaviour of three dimensional Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. A typical feature of these models is in fact anomalous dissipation of energy, which in finite time "escapes" to infinity, yielding a blow-up and instantaneous loss in regularity. A dissipative term corresponding to viscosity can recover regularity, for some of these models, but in total generality one needs hyper-dissipation, with an exponent larger than the physical one. Recent results hint that in the more refined framework of tree (hierarchical) models the required exponent may be actually lower. Speaker: Alessandro Montagnani Title: A stationary solution for turbulence shell models. Abstract The focus of the talk is to study well-posedness, with respect to generic Gaussian distributed initial data, in turbulence shell models. In the of state-of-the-art results we have existence of solution for any finite energy initial conditions. Here we show the generic existence of solutions with respect to initial data distributed as Gaussian invariant measures, in "mixed" dyadic and tree-like shell models, extending the classical deterministic results. The existence is given thanks to compactness argument and techniques similar to the ones used by Albeverio and Cruzeiro for Euler equation (and more recently with a different approach by F. Flandoli), adapted to our model. Uniqueness is not provided, and the natural oscillating behaviour of the solutions obtained may suggests that it doesn't hold at all All of you are very welcome. Best regards, David Barbato
