SPASS Seminar: Rangel Baldasso
by Gianmarco Bet 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *The random Markov property for random walks in random environments* by *Rangel Baldasso* (*PUC-Rio*) The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.01.2025 at *14:00 CET* in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini", Università degli Studi di Firenze, and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: We consider random walks evolving in dynamic random environments and propose a criterion which, if satisfied, allows to decompose the random walk trajectory into i.i.d. increments, and ultimately to prove limit theorems. This criterion, dubbed the random Markov property, involves the construction of a random field built from the environment that has to satisfy a certain Markovian-like property along with some mixing estimates. We apply this criterion to correlated environments such as Boolean percolation and renewal chains featuring polynomial decay of correlations. Based on a joint work with Julien Allasia, Oriane Blondel, and Augusto Teixeira.*

Reminder- talk Giulia Di Nunno
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 05 Jan '25

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 8th of January 2025 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: Utility maximisation and change of variable formulas for time-changed dynamics Abstract: We target the problem of expected utility maximisation of the terminal wealth in a semimartingale setting, where the semimartingale is written in terms of a time-changed Brownian motion and a finite variation process. As for the time-change we consider a general increasing stochastic process with finitely many jumps. To tackle this problem we present change of variable formulas for stochastic integrals w.r.t. the time-changed Brownian motion and we use techniques of enlargement of filtrations. The focus is on power and logarithmic utility. The presentation is based on joint work with Hannes Haferkorn (Commerzbank), Asma Khedher (U. Amsterdam), and Michèle Vanmaele (U. Ghent). The talk can be followed also in streaming at the following link: https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=m668a56b421b3034262619296de85… Best wishes, Emanuela ****************************************** Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Università di Milano-Bicocca e-mail: emanuela.rosazza1(a)unimib.it ******************************************

Reminder and Zoom link - Seminario Padova - Michele Salvi - 17 Dicembre 13:30
by Alberto Chiarini 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vi scriviamo per ricordarvi che domani (17 Dicembre) in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di Michele Salvi. Il seminario sarà offerto anche su Zoom al seguente link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88514269669?pwd=UB59oHI2dFNXHty9G0adYmIaanVkSe.1 Meeting ID: 885 1426 9669 Passcode: 345302 ------------------------------------------------- Michele Salvi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~salvi/ Title: Random spanning trees in random environment Date: December 17, 2024, at 13:30, room 2AB40 Abstract: A spanning tree of a graph G is a connected subset of G without cycles. The Uniform Spanning Tree (UST) is obtained by choosing one of the possible spanning trees of G at random. The Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is realised instead by putting random weights on the edges of G and then selecting the spanning tree with the smallest weight. These two models exhibit markedly different behaviours: for example, their diameter on the complete graph with n nodes transitions from n^1/2 for the UST to n^1/3 for the MST. What lies in between? We introduce a model of Random Spanning Trees in Random Environment (RSTRE) designed to interpolate between UST and MST. In particular, when the environment disorder is sufficiently low, the RSTRE on the complete graph has a diameter of n^1/2 as the UST. Conversely, when the disorder is high, the diameter behaves like n^1/3 as for the MST. We conjecture a smooth transition between these two values for intermediate levels of disorder. This talk is based on joint work with Rongfeng Sun and Luca Makowiec (NUS Singapore). Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

talk Giulia Di Nunno - January 8, 2025
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 8th of January 2025 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: Utility maximisation and change of variable formulas for time-changed dynamics Abstract: We target the problem of expected utility maximisation of the terminal wealth in a semimartingale setting, where the semimartingale is written in terms of a time-changed Brownian motion and a finite variation process. As for the time-change we consider a general increasing stochastic process with finitely many jumps. To tackle this problem we present change of variable formulas for stochastic integrals w.r.t. the time-changed Brownian motion and we use techniques of enlargement of filtrations. The focus is on power and logarithmic utility. The presentation is based on joint work with Hannes Haferkorn (Commerzbank), Asma Khedher (U. Amsterdam), and Michèle Vanmaele (U. Ghent).

Seminario Padova - Michele Salvi - 17 Dicembre 13:30
by Alberto Chiarini 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che martedì prossimo (17 Dicembre) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Michele Salvi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~salvi/ Title: Random spanning trees in random environment Date: December 17, 2024, at 13:30, room 2AB40 Abstract: A spanning tree of a graph G is a connected subset of G without cycles. The Uniform Spanning Tree (UST) is obtained by choosing one of the possible spanning trees of G at random. The Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is realised instead by putting random weights on the edges of G and then selecting the spanning tree with the smallest weight. These two models exhibit markedly different behaviours: for example, their diameter on the complete graph with n nodes transitions from n^1/2 for the UST to n^1/3 for the MST. What lies in between? We introduce a model of Random Spanning Trees in Random Environment (RSTRE) designed to interpolate between UST and MST. In particular, when the environment disorder is sufficiently low, the RSTRE on the complete graph has a diameter of n^1/2 as the UST. Conversely, when the disorder is high, the diameter behaves like n^1/3 as for the MST. We conjecture a smooth transition between these two values for intermediate levels of disorder. This talk is based on joint work with Rongfeng Sun and Luca Makowiec (NUS Singapore). Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

SPASS Seminar: Filippo Quattrocchi
by Francesco Grotto 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Asymptotics for quantization of probability measures * by Filippo Quattrocchi (IST Austria) The seminar will take place TUE, 17.12.2024 at 11:00 CET in Aula Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* *Abstract: * Quantization is the problem of approximating a given probability measure using discrete measures, supported on a prescribed number n of points. One of the fundamental questions is: At what rate does the minimal quantization error (measured in Wasserstein distance) tend to 0 as n grows? A classical answer is given by Zador's theorem. I will discuss this result along with some new findings on a variation of the problem, in which the discrete approximating measures are additionally constrained to be uniform. This talk is based on the work arXiv:2408.12924.

Seminario di Ivailo Hartarsky alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 09 Dec '24

09 Dec '24

Buongiorno, la prossima settimana Ivailo Hartarsky (ENS, Lione) sarà ospite del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università La Sapienza. Lunedì 16 terrà un seminario. Sotto trovate i dettagli. Grazie Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% When: Monday 16 December, 16:00. Room: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University of Rome Speaker: Ivailo Hartarsky (ENS, Lyon) Title: Catalan percolation Abstract: In Catalan percolation, one declares the edges {i,i+1}, for integer i, *occupied* and each edge {i,j} with j> i+1 *open* independently with probability p. For k> i+1, we recursively define {i,k} to be *occupied*, if {i,k} is open and both {i,j} and {j,k} are occupied for some j in {i+1,...,k-1}. The model was introduced by Gravner and Kolesnik in the context of polluted bootstrap percolation, but is tightly linked with Catalan structures and oriented percolation. We establish that the critical parameter of the model is strictly between the natural lower and upper bounds given by 1/4 and the critical probability of oriented site percolation on Z^2 respectively. The most challenging part of the proof is a strict inequality for the critical parameter of an oriented percolation model with non-decaying infinite range dependencies, not relying on the Aizenman--Grimmett argument for essential enhancements. The talk is based on joint work with Eleanor Archer, Brett Kolesnik, Sam Olesker-Taylor, Bruno Schapira and Daniel Valesin available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.19583. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 123, first floor *************************************************

Seminari Padova - Pablo Lopez Rivera e Nicolas Agote
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (13 Dicembre) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci saranno due seminari per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: 1) Pablo López Rivera (Université Paris Cité) <https://www.ljll.fr/lopezrivera/> https://www.ljll.fr/lopezrivera/ Title: Functional inequalities in the discrete setting and the Poisson-Föllmer Process Date: December 13, 2024, at 14:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: Functional inequalities are a ubiquitous tool in probability, since they help us quantify the convergence to equilibrium of ergodic Markov processes and imply good concentration properties. In the continuous setting, the Gaussian measure is a central object, since it satisfies both a Poincaré and a log-Sobolev inequality. In particular, Caffarelli's contraction theorem states that the optimal transport map pushing forward the Gaussian towards a measure which is more log-concave than it is 1-Lipschitz, a fact that allows us to extend these inequalities to those measures. Can we prove an analogous result in the discrete setting if we replace the Gaussian by the Poisson distribution? The type of measures that can arise as a pushforward of a discrete distribution is very limited; in addition, the lack of a chain rule in the discrete setting hinders the argument used in the continuous setting. In the first part of the talk, I will show how these obstacles can be overcome via a stochastic proof based on an entropy-minimizing process constructed by Klartag and Lehec, which we call the Poisson-Föllmer process. In the second part of the talk I will also use this process to give a stability result for Wu's log-Sobolev inequality, the Poissonan analog of the Gaussian one.. 2) Nicolas Agote (Universidad de Buenos Aires) Title: The potential method for community detection Date: December 13, 2024, at 15:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: The Stochastic Block Model (SBM) is a random graph model where nodes are (randomly) partitioned into classes, or communities, which share a common label, and edges are (randomly) added between each pair of nodes depending on their community membership. It is a very popular model to study the community detection problem, where the aim is to predict the communities given a sample graph. In this talk we will explore the potential estimators, which exploit information obtained via random walks, specifically expected first visit times to some subset of revealed nodes, to predict the community structure. We will show that they allow for strongly consistent and efficient estimations, particularly for small subsets of nodes. This work has been done in collaboration with Inés Armendáriz (UBA), Pablo Ferrari (UBA), and Florencia Leonardi (USP). Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - S. Pulido (ENSIIE) and K. Ray (Imperial College London)
by Matteo Giordano 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 13/12/2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente doppio seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 11.00-12.00 Speaker: Sergio Pulido (ENSIIE) Title: Polynomial Volterra processes Abstract: Recent studies have extended the theory of affine processes to the stochastic Volterra equations framework. In this talk, I will describe how the theory of polynomial processes extends to the Volterra setting. In particular, I will explain the moment formula and an interesting stochastic invariance result in this context. Potential applications to fractional volatility models will be discussed. This is joint work with Eduardo Abi Jaber, Christa Cuchiero, Luca Pelizzari and Sara Svaluto-Ferro. 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Kolyan Ray Title: Bayesian nonparametric inference in a McKean-Vlasov model Abstract: We study nonparametric estimation of the interaction term in a McKean-Vlasov model where noisy observations are drawn from the nonlinear parabolic PDE arising in the mean-field limit as the number particles grows to infinity. In this model, the long-time invariant state can be uninformative about the interaction potential. We therefore show that under certain regularity conditions on the initial state, the short-time behaviour of this system contains sufficient information to consistently recover the interaction potential using Gaussian process priors. This involves establishing a stability-type estimate for this PDE to solve the resulting inverse problem. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 11/12/2024 * a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Seminario PRISMA oggi
by Francesco Caravenna 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, martedì 3 dicembre 2024, Sonia Mazzucchi e Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) ci parleranno di Passeggiate casuali sul piano complesso ed equazioni del calore di ordine superiore al secondo con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) e Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) TITOLO: Passeggiate casuali sul piano complesso ed equazioni del calore di ordine superiore al secondo RIASSUNTO: La celebre formula di Feynman-Kac, che fornisce una rappresentazione della soluzione dell'equazione del calore in termini di un integrale rispetto alla misura di Wiener, non può essere generalizzata al caso in cui il laplaciano, o più in generale l'operatore ellittico del secondo ordine, è sostituito da un operatore di ordine superiore a 2. In altre parole per tale classe di equazioni differenziali di ordine elevato non è possibile costruire un processo stocastico che svolga lo stesso ruolo giocato dal moto Browniano per l'equazione del calore. Nella prima parte del seminario si illustreranno dapprima le ragioni di questo risultato no-go per poi descrivere un possibile metodo per aggirarlo tramite la costruzione di opportune successioni di passeggiate casuali nel piano complesso. Nella seconda parte del seminario si descriveranno ulteriori applicazioni e generalizzazioni di tale tecnica. In particolare si illustrerà la costruzione di un calcolo stocastico associato alla successione di passeggiate casuali e la dimostrazione di formule di Feynman-Kac per PDE di ordine elevato, anche nel caso di derivate di tipo frazionario. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Algebra meets probability: workshop
by Cipriani, Alessandra 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

Dear colleagues, registration is now open for the workshop "Algebra meets probability" taking place between March 31 and April 2, 2025 at EURANDOM at Eindhoven University of Technology. There is a natural and well-known connection between particle physics and representation theory via Grassmannian and Lie algebras, going back to Wigner. Specific algebraic structures, such as Virasoro algebras, are used in lattice models to describe symmetries and conservation laws. These structures help in understanding the behavior of systems at a microscopic level and in deriving macroscopic properties from microscopic rules. In recent years there has been tremendous progress in connecting these two approaches and expressing observables like k-point correlation functions in interacting particle systems in terms of algebraic quantities, for example as fermionc and bosonic variables. This event aims to bring together leading experts and researchers in the field to share their knowledge, insights, and recent advancements. The workshop will provide a platform for in-depth discussions and collaborative learning, fostering an environment where participants can exchange ideas and develop new perspectives on the interplay between these two fascinating areas of study. Speakers: David Adame-Carrillo (Aalto University) Francesca Arici (Leiden University) Chiara Boccato (University of Pisa) Martijn Caspers (TU Delft) Nicholas Crawford (Technion, Haifa) Margherita Disertori (Bonn University) Tyler Helmuth (Durham University) Bas Janssens (TU Delft) Kalle Kytölä (Aalto University) Yves Le Jan (NYU Abu Dhabi) Franz Merkl (TU München) Eveliina Peltola (TBC) (Aalto University) Silke Rolles (TU München) Walter van Suijlekom (Radboud University Nijmegen) Pierre Tarrès (NYU Shanghai) More details and the registration can be found on the conference website.<https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/event/algebra-meets-probability/> There is no registration fee and the possibility to present a poster.

Short course - Kolyan RAY (Imperial)
by Matteo Ruggiero 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Dear Colleagues, as part of the Visiting Professors program of the Master's Degree in Stochastics and Data Science at the University of Torino (full program available at https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting), we are pleased to announce the following short course: ——————————————————— Kolyan RAY (Imperial College London) POSTERIOR ASYMPTOTICS IN BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRICS This mini-course will cover an introduction into the asymptotic theory for Bayesian nonparametric procedures. This provides a useful tool to understand how prior choices can affect the statistical performance of the Bayes method in high or infinite dimensional models. We will cover the notion of posterior consistency and convergence rates, using Gaussian process priors as a canonical example. At the end, we will also touch on recent extensions of such theory to variational Bayes, which provides a scalable posterior approximation algorithm. ——————————————————— The course will be held exclusively in-person, according to the following schedule: - Tue Dec 10, h. 9.15-11.15 - Wed Dec 11, h. 11.15-13.00 - Thu Dec 12, h. 9.15-11.15 - Thu Dec 12, h. 14.00-16.00 Course location: Room 30, third floor, Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino. The participation is open to everyone interested. Best regards, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

Seminario Padova - Alex Delalande
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (29 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Alex Delalande (EPFL Losanna) https://alex-delalande.github.io Title: Sharper Exponential Convergence Rates for Sinkhorn's Algorithm in Continuous Settings Date: November 29, 2024, at 14:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent results I obtained in collaboration with Lénaïc Chizat and Tomas Vaškevičius regarding the convergence rate of Sinkhorn's algorithm for solving entropy-regularized optimal transport problems, in the context where at least one of the probability measures, say \mu, admits a density over \R^d. For a semi-concave cost function bounded by c∞ and a regularization parameter λ>0, we obtained exponential convergence guarantees on the dual sub-optimality gap with contraction rates that are polynomial in λ/c∞. This represents an exponential improvement over the known contraction rate 1−Θ(exp(−c∞/λ)) achievable via Hilbert's projective metric. Specifically, we proved a contraction rate value of 1−Θ(λ²/c²∞) when has a bounded log-density. In some cases, such as when is log-concave and the cost function is c(x,y)=−⟨x,y⟩, this rate improves to 1−Θ(λ/c∞). The latter rate matches the one that we derived for the transport between isotropic Gaussian measures, indicating tightness in the dependency in λ/c∞. Our results are fully non-asymptotic and explicit in all the parameters of the problem. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Carlo Ciliberto at Tor Vergata 03.12
by Michele Salvi 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

Dear all, On Tuesday, December 3rd, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Carlo Ciliberto (University College London) with the seminar “Operator World Models for Reinforcement Learning” Abstract: Policy Mirror Descent (PMD) is a powerful and theoretically sound methodology for sequential decision making. However, it is not directly applicable to Reinforcement Learning (RL) due to the inaccessibility of explicit action-value functions. We address this challenge by introducing a novel approach based on learning a world model of the environment using conditional mean embeddings. Leveraging tools from operator theory we derive a closed-form expression of the action-value function in terms of the world model via simple matrix operations. Combining these estimators with PMD leads to POWR, a new RL algorithm for which we prove convergence rates to the global optimum. Preliminary experiments in finite and infinite state settings support the effectiveness of our method. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Seminario PRISMA mar 3 dic 2024
by Francesco Caravenna 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per martedì 3 dicembre 2024. I relatori saranno Sonia Mazzucchi e Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) che ci parleranno di Passeggiate casuali sul piano complesso ed equazioni del calore di ordine superiore al secondo con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) e Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) TITOLO: Passeggiate casuali sul piano complesso ed equazioni del calore di ordine superiore al secondo RIASSUNTO: La celebre formula di Feynman-Kac, che fornisce una rappresentazione della soluzione dell'equazione del calore in termini di un integrale rispetto alla misura di Wiener, non può essere generalizzata al caso in cui il laplaciano, o più in generale l'operatore ellittico del secondo ordine, è sostituito da un operatore di ordine superiore a 2. In altre parole per tale classe di equazioni differenziali di ordine elevato non è possibile costruire un processo stocastico che svolga lo stesso ruolo giocato dal moto Browniano per l'equazione del calore. Nella prima parte del seminario si illustreranno dapprima le ragioni di questo risultato no-go per poi descrivere un possibile metodo per aggirarlo tramite la costruzione di opportune successioni di passeggiate casuali nel piano complesso. Nella seconda parte del seminario si descriveranno ulteriori applicazioni e generalizzazioni di tale tecnica. In particolare si illustrerà la costruzione di un calcolo stocastico associato alla successione di passeggiate casuali e la dimostrazione di formule di Feynman-Kac per PDE di ordine elevato, anche nel caso di derivate di tipo frazionario. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Reminder: Bertram Duering in Sapienza
by Enrico Scalas 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

Car* collegh*, mi permetto di ricordare il seguente annuncio inviato più di un mese fa. Il seminario si terrà domani. -- Il 19 novembre 2024, in aula 24 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza, Università di Roma, alle ore 14, il Prof. Bertram Düring della University of Warwick, Mathematics Institute terrà un seminario dal titolo From interacting agents to emerging patterns in economics and sociology Riassunto: Real-world systems in economics and sociology often consist of a large number of interacting agents that may form patterns or develop a collective behaviour. Typical applications include wealth and income distribution in an economy and opinion formation in a society. Mathematical techniques originating from statistical mechanics can be successfully developed further to model such systems and obtain mesoscopic and macroscopic descriptions of the microscopic dynamics. Such approaches frequently lead to generalisations of the classical Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics and associated limit partial differential equations. In this talk I will discuss different kinetic models for wealth distribution and opinion formation, and present analytical and numerical results. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Chi fosse interessato a partecipare a distanza, per favore, mi scriva a: enrico.scalas(a)uniroma1.it -- Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas

Seminario Davide Bignamimi - Politecnico di Milano - 27 Novembre 2024
by Luca Scarpa 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Mercoledì 27 Novembre 2024, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Davide Bignamini, Università degli Studi dell'Insubria. Title: Strong uniqueness for SPDEs and regularity of Kolmogorov equations. Abstract: Pathwise uniqueness plays a crucial role in the investigation of the existence of strong solutions to Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) since the seminal result by Yamada and Watanabe in 1971, where they proved that weak existence and pathwise uniqueness imply strong existence. A few years later, Zvonkin introduced the so-called Zvonkin transformation, which allows to remove a drift term by means of a suitable change of coordinates using the Ito formula, and then applies the result of Yamada and Watanabe to construct strong solutions to a class of SDEs with rough drift coefficient. In recent years, these techniques have been extended to Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) . One of the main tools for proving pathwise uniqueness in infinite dimensions is the so-called Itô-Tanaka trick, which involves replacing the "bad" drift term with the solution to a suitable Kolmogorov equation. In this talk, we will examine these topics for a class of parabolic and hyperbolic SPDEs.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Exclusion Processes with non-reversible boundary: Hydrodynamics and Large Deviations* by *João Pedro Mangi* (*IMPA*) The seminar will take place on TUE, 19.11.2024 at *11:00 CET* in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini", Università degli Studi di Firenze, and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: We consider a family of exclusion processes defined on the discrete interval with weak boundary interaction that allows the creation and annihilation of particles on a neighborhood of radius L of the boundary under very general rates. We prove that the hydrodynamic equation is the heat equation with non-linear Robin boundary conditions. We present a particular choice of boundary rates for which we have multiple stationary solutions but for which it still holds the uniqueness of the solution of its hydrodynamic equation. We also prove the associated dynamical large deviations principle. Joint work with Claudio Landim and Beatriz Salvador.*

Giulia Livieri will give the first seminar. Wednesday, November 27, 2024, 1:30 - 2:30 PM CET, Sala del Consiglio Prof. Giulia Livieri, London School of Economics A Mean Field Game approach for pollution regulation of competitive firms Abstract: We develop a model based on mean-field games of competitive firms producing similar goods according to a standard AK model with a depreciation rate of capital generating pollution as a byproduct. Our analysis focuses on the widely-used cap-and-trade pollution regulation. Under this regulation, firms have the flexibility to respond by implementing pollution abatement, reducing output, and participating in emission trading, while a regulator dynamically allocates emission allowances to each firm. The resulting mean-field game is of linear quadratic type and equivalent to a mean-field type control problem, i.e., it is a potential game. We find explicit solutions to this problem through the solutions to differential equations of Riccati type. Further, we investigate the carbon emission equilibrium price that satisfies the market clearing condition and find a specific form of FBSDE of McKean-Vlasov type with common noise. The solution to this equation provides an approximate equilibrium price. Additionally, we demonstrate that the degree of competition is vital in determining the economic consequences of pollution regulation. Joint work with G. Del Sarto and M. Leocata. We look forward to meeting you in Pavia. Kind Regards, Giacomo Bormetti Giacomo Bormetti Department of Economics and Management, University of Pavia

Cari colleghi, Il gruppo UMI-Climath è lieto di invitarvi a una serie di seminari, in presenza e online, dedicati ai recenti avanzamenti teorici nello studio dei modelli matematici della variabilità climatica e dei modelli che includono gli impatti socio-economici associati. Maggiori dettagli sono disponibili sul sito del gruppo Climath: https://sites.google.com/view/gruppo-umi-climath/seminari-ed-attività-del-g… <https://sites.google.com/view/gruppo-umi-climath/seminari-ed-attivit%C3%A0-…> Il Prossimo seminario si terrà in data Mercoledì 20 novembre 2024, alle ore 14:30, presso l’Aula 1101 (D’Antoni), Dipartimento di Matematica, Tor Vergata, Roma, oppure online tramite Teams (richiesta registrazione al link: https://forms.gle/kuPKvHqLDP4RTLj4A) Ecco il programma: 14:30 - Valerio Lucarini (University of Leicester) Titolo: Detecting and Attributing Change in Climate and Complex Systems: Foundations, Green's Functions, and Nonlinear Fingerprints Abstract: Detection and attribution (D&A) studies are cornerstones of climate science, providing crucial evidence for policy decisions. Their goal is to link observed climate change patterns to anthropogenic and natural drivers via the optimal fingerprinting method (OFM). We show that response theory for nonequilibrium systems offers the physical and dynamical basis for OFM, including the concept of causality used for attribution. Our framework clarifies the method's assumptions, advantages, and potential weaknesses. We use our theory to perform D&A for prototypical climate change experiments performed on an energy balance model and on a low-resolution coupled climate model. We also explain the underpinnings of degenerate fingerprinting, which offers early warning indicators for tipping points. Finally, we extend the OFM to the nonlinear response regime. Our analysis shows that OFM has broad applicability across diverse stochastic systems influenced by time-dependent forcings, with potential relevance to ecosystems, quantitative social sciences, and finance, among others. 15:20 - Discussione 15:30 - Gianmarco Del Sarto (Technische Universität Darmstadt) Titolo: Some Perspective on Climate Change through Energy Balance Models Abstract: In this seminar, I will present how Energy Balance Models (EBMs) can be used to explore climate change dynamics. The first part focuses on ongoing research that investigates a fast-slow system where solar radiation acts as the fast component, while a zero-dimensional EBM describes the slow component. This model exhibits mathematical parallels with the seminal stochastic EBM inspired by Hasselmann's proposal, and we explore these similarities in terms of deterministic limits, fluctuations, and large deviations. In the second part, if time allows, I will discuss a completed research project that extends the analysis of 1D EBMs by introducing local instability effects and additive white noise. The model captures the super-greenhouse effect, a tropical feedback mechanism, and incorporates fast weather fluctuations as white noise. By studying the long-term behaviour of the model's invariant measure, we investigate the link between increased greenhouse gas concentrations and extreme weather events. 16:20 - Discussione 16:3 - Tavola Rotonda moderata da Piermarco Cannarsa Speriamo di vedervi numerosi, sia in presenza che online! Saluti, Marta Leocata (a nome del gruppo Climath)

Seminar by Joanna Michalak, Dr.
by monte＠uniroma2.it 09 Nov '24

09 Nov '24

Dear all, Dr. Joanna Michalak (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland) will give a seminar entitled "Integrated Approach to Sentiment Analysis: Optimizing Short Text Analysis Efficiency in the Context of Economics and Finance" on November 14th at 09:30 am in Room 5 at Macro Teaching Hub Engineering Area., Via del Politecnico, 1, University of Roma "Tor Vergata", Roma. The seminar can also be followed online by sending an email to roberto.monte(a)uniroma2.eu Abstract: Big social data (BSD) is widely used in the social sciences, particularly in economics and finance, where it is valued both for its explanatory insights and its predictive power. Predictive analyses leveraging BSD often focus on modeling the relationship between social media activity and stock market movements. The quality of these analyses relies on two main dimensions: (1) models that capture short-term dynamics and account for observed time-series properties, and (2) sentiment analysis methods that are specifically adapted to the unique vocabulary of finance and economics. This presentation addresses these two dimensions. In the first part, we explore a case study of Apple Inc., comparing the effectiveness of VAR, GARCH, and LSTM models for describing short-term interdependencies between social media sentiment and stock market behavior. The second part of the presentation focuses on the performance of various sentiment analysis methods selected to construct sentiment-based indices. This section aims to compare the efficiency and accuracy of different sentiment analysis methods when applied to short text data. The study emphasizes optimization of analysis efficiency by evaluating widely used datasets, such as Senti140. Several research questions guide this investigation: 1. Which sentiment analysis method is most effective in terms of accuracy and processing speed in financial data analysis? 2. Do advanced methods, such as deep learning models (e.g., BERT), outperform traditional lexicon-based techniques and classical machine learning algorithms? 3. What are the differences in sentiment analysis accuracy between general datasets like Senti140 and finance-specific datasets such as FinBERT? The issue of optimizing text data analysis methods remains an open aspect of this research. The ultimate objective of this study is to construct a dataset or lexicon specifically designed and recommended for financial data analysis.

Seminar by Dr. Andrea Modena.
by Giorgio Rizzini 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Dear all, as part of the Quantitative Finance Seminars, Dr. Andrea Modena (University of Mannheim) will give a seminar entitled "Coordinating Dividends and Capital Regulation" (joint work with Luca Regis and Salvatore Federico) on November 11th at 11 am in Aula Fermi at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa.The seminar can also be followed online by sending an email to giorgio.rizzini(a)sns.it. Best regards, Giorgio Rizzini *Abstract: * We develop a tractable dynamic corporate finance model to analyze the effects of state-contingent dividend restrictions and capital requirements on firm optimal policies and value. In the model, a risk-neutral shareholder manages a firm that generates stochastic income under time-varying macroeconomic conditions. The manager maximizes shareholder value by paying dividends, holding reserves, and issuing costly equity without agency conflicts. We analytically solve the firm's stochastic control problem and derive its reserve distribution in closed form. The model predicts that restricting dividends in "bad" macroeconomic states—characterized by lower and more volatile cash flows— reduces shareholder value but can effectively sustain the firm's credit capacity. The policy, however, curtails the firm's recapitalization incentives and credit capacity in "good" states. Coordinating dividends with counter-cyclical capital regulation can mitigate value losses but negatively impacts recapitalization incentives further.

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, martedì 5 novembre 2024, Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz) ci parleranno di Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz) TITOLO: Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni RIASSUNTO: Il moto browniano ramificato (branching Brownian motion - BBM) in ambito euclideo è stato studiato intensamente durante molti decenni da studiosi rinomati. Il BBM sul disco (ossia semipiano) iperbolico ha ricevuto molta meno attenzione. Un lavoro profondo di Lalley and Sellke (1997) ha messo in luce la fase ricorrente, risp. transitoria del BBM sul disco di Poincaré. In particolare, Lalley e Sellke hanno determinato la dimensione di Hausdorff dell'insieme limite sulla frontiera (il cerchio unitario) in funzione del tasso di ramificazione delle particelle. Nel primo dei due seminari viene introdotta la geometria del disco iperbolico con la metrica di Poincaré e del modello equivalente del semipiano superiore. Si presenta il Laplaciano iperbolico, cioè l'operatore di Laplace-Beltrami associato a questa superficie. Esso è l'operatore infinitesimale del moto browniano iperbolico. Si presentano alcune proprietà chiave di questo processo. Nel secondo seminario si introduce il moto browniano ramificato iperbolico. Vengono presentati alcuni nuovi risultati. In particolare, si forniscono i tassi della massima e minima distanza iperbolica della popolazione al tempo t dal punto di partenza e delle stime asintotiche più precise nella fase transitoria. L'altro tema principale riguarda il comportamento delle distribuzioni empiriche della popolazione ramificante e la loro convergenza a una distribuzione limite aleatoria sulla frontiera di supporto infinito. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario Pablo Groisman, Lunedì 11 Novembre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Lunedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Lunedì 11 Novembre, ore 14:00,* Aula B, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Pablo Groisman (University of Buenos Aires) *Title: *The Kuramoto Model in Random Geometric Graphs *Abstract: *The Kuramoto model is a nonlinear system of ODEs that represents the behavior of coupled oscillators. The coupling is determined by a given graph and pushes the system towards synchronization. An important question is whether there is global synchronization (the system converges to a state in which all the phases coincide from almost every initial condition) or if the system supports other patterns. We will consider the Kuramoto model on random geometric graphs in the d dimensional torus and prove a scaling limit. The limiting object is given by the heat equation. On the one hand this shows that the nonlinearities of the system disappear under this scaling and on the other hand, provides evidence that stable equilibria of the Kuramoto model on these graphs are, as n → ∞, in correspondence with those of the heat equation, which are explicit and given by twisted states. In view of this, we conjecture the existence of twisted stable equilibria with high probability as n → ∞. We'll prove this conjecture in dimension d=1. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminario di Stanislav Smirnov (medaglia Fields 2010) a Roma Tre
by Elisabetta Candellero 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Stanislav Smirnov (medaglia Fields 2010) terra' un seminario dal titolo "Coulomb gas and lattice models" il giorno mercoledi' 6 novembre, ore 16:00. Il seminario si terra' in Aula M1, Blocco Aule Lungotevere Dante 376 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Abstract: Even before the introduction of Conformal Field Theory by Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov, it appeared indirectly in the work of den Nijs and Nienhuis using Coulomb gas techniques. The latter postulate (unrigorously) that height functions of lattice models converge to the Gaussian Free Field, allowing to derive many exponents and dimensions of 2D lattice models. This convergence is in many ways mysterious, in particular it was never formulated in the presence of a boundary, but rather on a torus or a cylinder. We will discuss possible formulations on general domains or Riemann surfaces and their relations to CFT, SLE and conformal invariance of critical lattice models. Interestingly, new objects in complex geometry and potential theory seem to arise.

*Data e orario*: Mercoledi' 6 novembre alle ore 14:30 Via della Vasca Navale 84, Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Universita' degli Studi roma Tre, AULA B *Relatore*: Amitai Linker (Universidad Andrés Bello, Santiago, Cile) *Titolo*: "The contact process on dynamic scale-free networks" *Abstract*: In this talk, I will present recent results on the contact process on two specific types of scale-free, inhomogeneous random networks that evolve either through edge resampling or by resampling entire neighborhoods of vertices. Depending on the type of graph, the selected stationary dynamic, the tail exponent of the degree distribution, and the updating rate, we identify parameter regimes that result in either fast or slow extinction. In the latter case, we determine metastable exponents that exhibit first-order phase transitions. This is joint work with Emmanuel Jacob (ENS Lyon) and Peter Mörters (Universität zu Köln).

topical collection on JOTP
by Bruno Toaldo 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Dear All, The *Journal of Theoretical Probability* has recently launched a topical collection titled *"Non-Markov Dynamics and Non-Local Operators"* https ://link.springer.com/collections/fhbhjheefi. This initiative responds to the growing interest in modeling anomalous phenomena, such as anomalous relaxations and diffusions. The scope of this theory encompasses various aspects of random processes, including, but not limited to, semi-Markov processes, continuous-time random walks, (generalized) fractional Brownian motions, long-range dependent processes, and non-Gaussian measures. This topical collection invites submissions on recent advances in these areas broadly, including works focused on specific classes of non-Markov processes or non-local operators with potential applications in probability theory. Submissions for publication are now open. All submitted papers will follow the journal’s standard peer-review process. The review will be managed by the Editors-in-Chief, myself, and Dr. Giacomo Ascione as guest editor. Please feel free to share this announcement: https://link.springer.com /journal/10959/updates/27709086. Thank you all, and best wishes, Giacomo and Bruno

Seminario 05/11 ore 11 A Bayesian Model for Co-clustering Ordinal Data with Informative Missing Entries
by ANTONIO PIEVATOLO 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

[ENGLISH BELOW] Con preghiera di diffusione, si avvisa che in data 05-11-2024, alle ore 11:00 precise, presso la sala Pentagonale dell'Area della Ricerca 1 del CNR di Milano in via A. Corti 12, la Dr. Alice Giampino, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, terrà un seminario dal titolo A Bayesian Model for Co-clustering Ordinal Data with Informative Missing Entries Abstract: Several approaches have been proposed in the literature for clustering multivariate ordinal data. These methods typically treat missing values as absent information, rather than recognizing them as valuable for profiling population characteristics. To address this gap, we introduce a Bayesian nonparametric model for co-clustering multivariate ordinal data that treats censored observations as informative, rather than merely missing. We demonstrate that this offers a significant improvement in understanding the underlying structure of the data. Our model exploits the flexibility of two independent Dirichlet processes, allowing us to infer potentially distinct subpopulations that characterize the latent structure of both subjects and variables. The ordinal nature of the data is addressed by introducing latent variables, while a matrix factorization specification is adopted to handle the high dimensionality of the data in a parsimonious way. The conjugate structure of the model enables an explicit derivation of the full conditional distributions of all the random variables in the model, which facilitates seamless posterior inference using a Gibbs sampling algorithm. We demonstrate the method's performance through simulations and by analyzing politician and movie ratings data. Gli interessati potranno partecipare al seminario da remoto, utilizzando il link indicato qui sotto https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTk1YjcxOWMtYjQzYy00… oppure in presenza previa prenotazione via email a federico.cortese(a)mi.imati.cnr.it<mailto:federico.cortese@mi.imati.cnr.it> Distinti saluti, Federico P.

Seminario PRISMA mar 5 nov 2024
by Francesco Caravenna 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per martedì 5 novembre 2024. I relatori saranno Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz) che ci parleranno di Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz) TITOLO: Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni RIASSUNTO: Il moto browniano ramificato (branching Brownian motion - BBM) in ambito euclideo è stato studiato intensamente durante molti decenni da studiosi rinomati. Il BBM sul disco (ossia semipiano) iperbolico ha ricevuto molta meno attenzione. Un lavoro profondo di Lalley and Sellke (1997) ha messo in luce la fase ricorrente, risp. transitoria del BBM sul disco di Poincaré. In particolare, Lalley e Sellke hanno determinato la dimensione di Hausdorff dell'insieme limite sulla frontiera (il cerchio unitario) in funzione del tasso di ramificazione delle particelle. Nel primo dei due seminari viene introdotta la geometria del disco iperbolico con la metrica di Poincaré e del modello equivalente del semipiano superiore. Si presenta il Laplaciano iperbolico, cioè l'operatore di Laplace-Beltrami associato a questa superficie. Esso è l'operatore infinitesimale del moto browniano iperbolico. Si presentano alcune proprietà chiave di questo processo. Nel secondo seminario si introduce il moto browniano ramificato iperbolico. Vengono presentati alcuni nuovi risultati. In particolare, si forniscono i tassi della massima e minima distanza iperbolica della popolazione al tempo t dal punto di partenza e delle stime asintotiche più precise nella fase transitoria. L'altro tema principale riguarda il comportamento delle distribuzioni empiriche della popolazione ramificante e la loro convergenza a una distribuzione limite aleatoria sulla frontiera di supporto infinito. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

SPASS seminar: Claudio Macci
by Andrea Agazzi 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural network* by *Claudio Macci* (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 29.10.2024* at *14:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Title: Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural network* *Abstract: We prove large and moderate deviations for the output of Gaussian fully connected neural networks. The main achievements concern deep neural networks (i.e., when the model has more than one hidden layer) and hold for bounded and continuous pre-activation functions. However, for deep neural networks fed by a single input, we have results even if the pre-activation is ReLU. When the network is shallow (i.e., there is exactly one hidden layer) the large and moderate principles hold for quite general pre-activations and in an infinite-dimensional setting.Joint work with Barbara Pacchiarotti (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) and Giovanni Luca Torrisi (IAC-CNR).*

OWABC evolves into OWABI - Kick off talk October 31st
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Dear all, After 5 Seasons of the One World Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…>, launched in April 2020 to gather members and disseminate results and innovation during those weeks and months under lockdown, we have now decided to launch a "new" seminar series, the One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…>, to better reflect the broader interest and scope of this series, which goes beyond ABC. In particular, simulation-based inference and ML related techniques will play a crucial role. We are also please to announce that Stefan Radev<https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> <https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> has joined the OWABI Organiser Team. The 1st OWABI talk will be given by Ullrich Koethe<https://hci.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/vislearn/people/ullrich-koethe/> (University of Heidelberg), who will talk about "Free-form flows for physics-informed generative modeling" on Thursday the 31st October at 11am UK time. Abstract: The talk first introduces a useful categorization of the (sometimes confusing) "generative model zoo" in terms of different change-of-variables formulas. It then shows how normalizing flows, a major architecture for generative neural networks, can be used for simulation-based Bayesian inference in the sciences. Finally, it proposes free-form flows to simplify the incorporation of physical prior knowledge, e.g. rotation and translation invariance or the restriction of the distribution to a manifold, into generative models. Keywords: normalizing flows; physical-informed neural networks; simulation-based inference The talk will be streamed on MS Teams: Join the meeting now<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh…> Meeting ID: 394 858 339 716 Passcode: qLKarj We are looking forward to seeing you all, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Fwd: [dynlist] Mini-course Prof. Michael Yampolsky (first lecture)
by Stefano Marmi 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Dear all, a gentle reminder of the mini-course by Michael Yampolsky. It will be also possible to follow the lectures remotely at the link given in the message below. Kind regards Stefano Marmi Dear all, In the next few weeks Prof. Michael Yampolsky (University of Toronto Mississauga) will give a series of 4 lectures on*“Computability and Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics”* at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The lectures will take place on Thursdays October 24 and 31 and November 7 and 14, at* 4:30* pm in* Aula Volterra*, Piazza dei Cavalieri 7 and will be streamed online. Please find below the title and abstract of the first lecture (Thursday October 24) and the relative zoom link. *October 24:* *Computability and computational complexity in dynamics: can we trust numerical predictions of limiting behavior of orbits?* The development of the modern subject of dynamical systems went hand-in-hand with numerical modeling. However, the theoretical basis of such modeling has remained largely unexplored and offers exciting challenges. What can and cannot be computed about the behavior of a dynamical system? I will give an overview of some of the recent results and directions of study. *Zoom link* : https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87207701292?pwd=cS85dXl0WC9udDhJNmkrd3FQVDJhdz09 Below you can find titles and abstracts of the next lectures. *October 31:* *Don’t believe your lying eyes: (non)-computability of Julia sets.* The talk will be a deep dive into the question of computability and computational complexity of Julia sets. Their fractal images are among the most-computed pictures in all of mathematics. But can we trust what these computations show? The results are surprising, and involve some beautiful complex analysis. The talk will be based on my work with M. Braverman, as well as more recent results obtained with A. Dudko, C. Rojas, and others. *November 7:* *How to lose at Monte Carlo: computing statistical behavior of dynamical systems.* Introduced by Ulam and von Neumann in the 1940s, Monte Carlo technique remains the most ubiquitous tool for statistical modeling. Surprisingly, our recent work with C. Rojas shows that such modeling probably fails for some very simple dynamical systems. I will present this theorem and discuss the resulting mathematical challenges. *November 14:* *Thurston versus Turing: algorithmic hardness of classifying finite dynamical systems.* Historically, the algorithmic aspects of classification problems have motivated much of the research in geometric topology (knot theory, classification of surfaces and 3-manifolds, etc). These questions are also very fruitful in dynamics. I will discuss the joint results with N. Selinger, K. Rafi and others on algorithmic decidability of Thurston equivalence and the connection with geometrization questions in dynamics.

The transition probabilities of the random walks depend on the previous visited node and on the triangles that contain the current and the previous node. Even though the algorithm is very popular in the field of computer science, mathematical properties of the random walks almost have not been explored. We will present results on the stationary distribution of these random walks on household models and compare it with the simple random walk.*

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Martedi 22 Ottobre 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ *12.00-13.00* Speaker: Beatrice Acciaio (ETH Zurich) Title: *Stretched Brownian Motion and Bass local-volatility model* Abstract: The concept of stretched Brownian motion (SBM) has been introduced by Backhoff-Veraguas et al (2020) as the unique solution to a dynamic formulation of the martingale transport problem. The name originates from the characteristic of mimicking as closely as possible the movement of a Brownian particle, while fitting the prescribed marginals. Conze and Henry-Labordere (2021) suggested a fixed-point iteration scheme for the computation of the SBM. In this talk I will review fundamental results for the SMB and provide convergence results of the fixed-point iteration. This constitutes the building block for the computation of the Bass local volatility model, which is a Markov model perfectly calibrated to vanilla options for finite maturities, and an approximation of the Dupire local volatility model. [Based on a joint work with A. Marini and G. Pammer.] ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire entrambi i seminari anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85297679121?pwd=LBx0D9qCgMil8TYPZzR6bXKyAleCgR.1> I seminari sono organizzati dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Fwd: January 28-29 IRS 2025 Conference Announcement
by Faggionato, Alessandra 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

Buongiorno, ricevo e con piacere inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Inhomegenous Random <inter(a)math.cnrs.fr> Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2024 at 16:29 Subject: January 28-29 IRS 2025 Conference Announcement To: <faggiona(a)mat.uniroma1.it> Dear Colleagues, This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on: INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS which will be held on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 January 2025 at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris. You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement with the same informations as below which you may print and post up. Looking forward to meeting you in Paris, Christian Maes, Kirone Mallick, Ellen Saada. --------------------------------------------------------------------- INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes January 28-29, 2025 Institut Henri Poincaré 11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a specific topic; the 2025 session is planned as follows. Tuesday 28 January: SPIN GLASSES AND RELATED TOPICS. Moderator: Jean-Christophe Mourrat (Lyon). Spin glasses are models of statistical mechanics characterized by disordered interactions and complex energy landscapes. They serve as fundamental examples of complex systems, providing insights into various scientific fields. This event will bring together different perspectives from mathematics, physics, and computer science, showcasing recent developments and promising research directions. Speakers: Leticia Cugliandolo (Paris), Brice Huang (Boston), Antoine Maillard (Paris), Remi Monasson (Paris), Guilhem Semerjian (Paris), Eliran Subag (Rehovot), Pierfrancesco Urbani (Saclay). Wednesday 29 January: ERGODICITY-BREAKING PHENOMENA IN QUANTUM MECHANICS. Moderator: Wojciech De Roeck (Leuven) Experimental marvels like cold atoms are allowing us to probe many-body Hamiltonian dynamics in a very detailed way, bringing into focus questions that might have seemed almost philosophical in earlier decades. One of the surprises from these experiments is that such systems often fail to thermalize. Phenomena like `localization', `quantum scars' and various types of glassy behaviour are ubiquitous in these simple quantum systems, whereas they do not seem so common in condensed matter platforms. This day brings together several specialists from this field. Speakers: Marin Bukov (Dresden), François Huveneers (London), Andrea De Luca (Cergy), David Luitz (Bonn), Markus Mueller (Vienna), Silvia Pappalardi (Koeln), Simone Warzel (Muenchen). --------------------- The conference is free and open to all.

LUISS Seminar, Luca Taschini -- October 17 at 12:00
by Sara 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

Dear all, we are happy to announce the next seminar by *Luca Taschini*, Chair of Climate Change Finance - University of Edinburgh Business School and Grantham Research Institute the LSE: *Title: Equity Returns and Firm Performance* 17 Oct 2024 - 12:00 / 13:00 Viale Romania Meeting room: TD2 AB *Abstract:* We present a statistic representing the variability of temperature anomalies and demonstrate its impact on US firms and investors. A long-short strategy that sorts firms based on spatial exposure earns a market- adjusted alpha of 39 basis points per month. The metric is related to aggregate decreases in firm profitability, with asymmetric effects across industries. These outcomes are driven by reductions in consumer demand and labor productivity coupled with changes in investor and media attention. The geographically scalable statistical framework provides a reference for assessing the quantitative effects of physical climate risks, offering a metric for improving the disclosure of material climate risks. *Online participation* link: https://luiss.webex.com/luiss/j.php?MTID=mb1bba82226a8ed98cee062b608143886 user: w_guest(a)luiss.it pw: iWM6dnD4k0Q *Ciao, Sara* La presente e-mail proviene da Luiss Guido Carli e s'intende inviata per scopi lavorativi.

Seminario Padova - Andrea Bovo

11 Oct '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (18 Ottobre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Andrea Bovo (Università di Torino) https://sites.google.com/view/andreabovo Title: An overview on recent results on Stopper vs. Singular-controller games Date: October 18, 2024, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: We study various formulations of zero-sum games between a singular-controller and a stopper over finite-time horizon in which the underlying process is a multi-dimensional controlled stochastic differential equation evolving in an unbounded domain. We prove that such games admit a value and provide an optimal strategy for the stopper. In some cases we show that the value of the game is the maximal solution, in a suitable Sobolev class, of a variational inequality of min-max type with obstacle constraint and gradient constraint. Under stricter assumptions, we provide an optimal strategy for the controller and we obtain a connection between the space derivative of the value function and the solution of an optimal stopping problem with absorption. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/

Dear all, On Wednesday, October 16th, at 14h00 in Aula D'Antoni of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Alessandra Bianchi (University of Padova) with the seminar "Mixing cutoff for simple random walks on the Chung-Lu directed graph” Abstract: In this talk, we consider a simple random walk defined on a Chung-Lu directed graph, an inhomogeneous random network that extends the Erdos Renyi random digraph by including edges independently according to given Bernoulli laws. In this non-reversible setting, we will focus on the convergence toward the equilibrium of the dynamics. In particular, under the assumption that the average degree grows logarithmically in the size n of the graph (weakly dense regime), we will establish a cutoff phenomenon at the entropic time of order log(n)/loglog(n). We will then show that on a precise window the cutoff profile converges to the Gaussian tail function. This is qualitatively similar to what was proved in a series of works by Bordenave, Caputo, Salez for the directed configuration model, where degrees are deterministically fixed. In terms of statistical ensembles, this analysis provides an extension of these cutoff results from a hard to a soft-constrained model. Joint work with G. Passuello. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Seminario di Bertram Duering in Sapienza
by Enrico Scalas 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

Car* collegh*, Il 19 novembre 2024, in aula 24 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza, Università di Roma, alle ore 14, il Prof. Bertram Düring della University of Warwick, Mathematics Institute terrà un seminario dal titolo From interacting agents to emerging patterns in economics and sociology Riassunto: Real-world systems in economics and sociology often consist of a large number of interacting agents that may form patterns or develop a collective behaviour. Typical applications include wealth and income distribution in an economy and opinion formation in a society. Mathematical techniques originating from statistical mechanics can be successfully developed further to model such systems and obtain mesoscopic and macroscopic descriptions of the microscopic dynamics. Such approaches frequently lead to generalisations of the classical Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics and associated limit partial differential equations. In this talk I will discuss different kinetic models for wealth distribution and opinion formation, and present analytical and numerical results. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Chi fosse interessato a partecipare a distanza, per favore, mi scriva a: enrico.scalas(a)uniroma1.it Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, martedì 8 ottobre 2024, Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova) e Giacomo Greco (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) parleranno di Una passeggiata sui ponti di Schrödinger: dalla meccanica statistica all’algoritmo di Sinkhorn con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova) e Giacomo Greco (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) TITOLO: Una passeggiata sui ponti di Schrödinger: dalla meccanica statistica all’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. RIASSUNTO: Nel 1931, E.Schrödinger si interessò al problema di calcolare l’evoluzione più probabile di una nube di particelle Browniane indipendenti condizionatamente all’osservazione della loro configurazione agli istanti iniziale e finale. In linguaggio moderno, questo problema, detto problema di Schrödinger, viene formulato rigorosamente attraverso la teoria delle grandi deviazioni come un problema di minimizzazione entropica con vincoli marginali. Molti anni dopo, T.Mikami scoprì che il problema di Schrödinger converge verso il problema del trasporto ottimo, detto di Monge-Kantorovich, nel limite di rumore piccolo. Questo collegamento, che permette di vedere il problema di trasporto entropico come una regolarizzazione del problema deterministico, è stato largamente sfruttato negli ultimi anni nel contesto dello statistical machine learning. Il motivo principale di questo interesse è che il problema del trasporto entropico si può risolvere con un algoritmo veloce e di facile implementazione, l’algoritmo Sinkhorn. Tale algoritmo, introdotto negli anni '60, richiede solamente alcune semplici operazioni tra matrici, come la moltiplicazione componente per componente: in particolare, non è necessaria alcuna inversione di matrice. Dal punto di vista teorico, l’attrattiva principale risiede nella convergenza esponenziale nel numero di iterazioni. Tuttavia, la comprensione di questo fenomeno è ancora incompleta, per esempio nel caso base del costo quadratico, e più in generale per problemi di trasporto con costi non limitati e marginali a supporto non compatto. Anche per misure discrete, ci sono ancora numerose questioni aperte, per esempio riguardo alla dipendenza del tasso di convergenza dal parametro di regolarizzazione. L’obiettivo della prima parte di questo seminario è di introdurre il problema di Schrödinger come problema di meccanica statistica, esporre il collegamento con il problema di Monge Kantorovich, e introdurre l’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. Nella seconda parte il seminario si concentrerà sul problema della convergenza esponenziale, offrendo una panoramica su risultati più o meno recenti e le diverse tecniche di dimostrazione, e presentando alcune domande aperte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

mini-course on "Computability and Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics"
by Stefano Marmi 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Prof. Michael Yampolsky (University of Toronto) will give a series of 4 lectures on "Computability and Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics" at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The lectures will take place on Thursday October 24 and 31 and November 7 and 14, at 2:30 pm in Aula Volterra, in Piazza dei Cavalieri 7. The titles and abstracts of each of the 4 lectures are given below. Please contact me if you have any questions. Stefano Marmi stefano.marmi(a)sns.it 1) October 24: Computability and computational complexity in dynamics: can we trust numerical predictions of limiting behavior of orbits? The development of the modern subject of dynamical systems went hand-in-hand with numerical modeling. However, the theoretical basis of such modeling has remained largely unexplored and offers exciting challenges. What can and cannot be computed about the behavior of a dynamical system? I will give an overview of some of the recent results and directions of study. 2) October 31: Don’t believe your lying eyes: (non)-computability of Julia sets The talk will be a deep dive into the question of computability and computational complexity of Julia sets. Their fractal images are among the most-computed pictures in all of mathematics. But can we trust what these computations show? The results are surprising, and involve some beautiful complex analysis. The talk will be based on my work with M. Braverman, as well as more recent results obtained with A. Dudko, C. Rojas, and others. 3) November 7: How to lose at Monte Carlo: computing statistical behavior of dynamical systems Introduced by Ulam and von Neumann in the 1940s, Monte Carlo technique remains the most ubiquitous tool for statistical modeling. Surprisingly, our recent work with C. Rojas shows that such modeling provably fails for some very simple dynamical systems. I will present this theorem and discuss the resulting mathematical challenges. 4) November 14: Thurston versus Turing: algorithmic hardness of classifying finite dynamical systems Historically, the algorithmic aspects of classification problems have motivated much of the research in geometric topology (knot theory, classification of surfaces and 3-manifolds, etc). These questions are also very fruitful in dynamics. I will discuss the joint results with N. Selinger, K. Rafi and others on algorithmic decidability of Thurston equivalence and the connection with geometrization questions in dynamics.

First Lucia Workshop on Fractional Calculus and Processes in Växjö, Sweden
by Lorenzo CRISTOFARO 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, The Lucia celebration on December 13 is one of the most important Swedish traditions. Processions of white-clad Lucias and their followers bear candles and sing songs to bring light in the Scandinavian winter. Saffron buns and mulled wine (glögg) are also part of the celebration. From December 9-December 13, 2024 we will organize the First Lucia Workshop on Fractional Calculus and Processes at the Linnæus University in Växjö, Sweden. Please visit the conference webpage for more information: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2024/lufcap2024/ The main goal of the workshop is to bring together the best specialists in various fields of fractionality and fractality. The results of the workshop will be published in a special issue of MSTA. If you are inclined to participate it would be great if you can let us know until October 15. Please indicate if you want to contribute a talk (email to (wolfgang.bock(a)lnu.se<mailto:wolfgang.bock@lnu.se>)). The participation of the workshop will be free of charge. Though some funding is available and we are working hard to acquire more it would be very helpful for our planing if you could indicate whether you would be needing some support from our side. We can of course not guarantee a travel support at the moment. With warm regards, Wolfgang Bock, Chirstian Engström, Elmira Nabizadeh and Yuliya Mishura

Seminario Dieter Mitsche, Martedì 8 Ottobre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 8 Ottobre, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Dieter Mitsche (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile) *Title: *Component sizes in spatial random graphs *Abstract:* We consider a large class of spatially-embedded random graphs that includes among others long-range percolation, continuum scale-free percolation and the age-dependent random connection model. We assume that the parameters are such that there is an infinite component. We identify the stretch-exponent $\zeta$ of the subexponential decay of the cluster-size distribution. That is, with $|\CC(0)|$ denoting the number of vertices in the component of the vertex at $0\in \R^d$, we prove $ P (k\le |\CC(0)|<\infty)=\exp\big(-\Theta(k^{\zeta})\big), $ as $k$ tends to infinity. The value of $\zeta$ undergoes several phase transitions with respect to three main model parameters: the Euclidean dimension $d$, the power-law tail exponent $\tau$ of the degree distribution and a long-range parameter $\alpha$ governing the presence of long edges in Euclidean space. Joint work with Joost Jorritsma and Julia Komjáthy. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminar Andriy Olenko at Tor Vergata 09.10
by Michele Salvi 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Dear all, On Wednesday, October 9th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Andriy Olenko (La Trobe University Melbourne) with the seminar "Limit theorems for multifractal products of random fields” Abstract: We will discuss the asymptotic properties of multifractal products of random fields. The obtained limit theorems provide conditions for the convergence of cumulative fields in $L_q$ spaces. New results concerning the rate of convergence of cumulative fields will also be presented. Simple, unified conditions for the limit theorems and the calculation of the Rényi function are provided, which are even less restrictive than those found in existing one-dimensional results. The developed methodology is further applied to multidimensional multifractal measures. Finally, a new class of examples based on geometric sub-Gaussian random fields will be introduced. In this case, the general assumptions take a simple form and can be expressed solely in terms of covariance functions. This presentation is based on joint work with I. Donhauzer (La Trobe University). We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

9 Oct 2024 - Seminar Anna Fiori
by Enea Bongiorno 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- - when: 9 October 2024, at 16.15 - where: room 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/eic-tuux-rzh Title: *Compositional methods and capital allocation: a proposal * *Speaker: **Anna Fiori, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca* *Abstract*: The capital allocation problem of an insurance company relates to the decomposition of an aggregate risk capital into additive contributions corresponding to different risk sources (e.g., individual agents, business units, specific guarantees included in a set of contracts). The proportions of risk capital allocated to each part can be viewed as quantitative descriptions of the components of a whole, subject to a fixed sum constraint (full allocation). This interpretation suggests interesting connections between capital allocation principles and Compositional Data (CoDa) analysis. The purpose of this work is to introduce a novel allocation framework that prioritizes the compositional perspective. In particular, we propose an optimality criterion based on a (modified) compositional distance between relative losses and capital shares allocated to them. In this way, we explicitly recognize that the relevant information associated with risks arising from –and resources assigned to– each constituent part is indeed information relative to a total. Different from previous research on compositional capital allocations, our approach is not restricted to gradient allocation rules or specific risk measures like VaR or CVaR. We propose instead a general reformulation of the optimal capital allocation problem which is inherently consistent with the relative scale of compositional variables. The resulting capital allocation solutions are compared to other proposals in recent literature and evaluated empirically on a dataset of cyber losses. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kKe_GZFJ4rnsTJ4PlOGTxDWs6dYYModv/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://seminari-ms.uniupo.it/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea G.

Seminar Dario Spanò @LUISS
by Alessia Caponera 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at LUISS University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Dario Spanò, Warwick University *Title*: *Dualities and Intertwinings in the Two-Parameter Poisson-Dirichlet Diffusion* *When*: October 3rd, 12:00 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: TD2 AB *Abstract*: Mathematical population genetics has been an incredible culture broth for the recent developments of the modern theory of stochastic duality. Duality in genetics clarifies the intrinsic link between forward-in-time dynamics of a population’s allele frequencies evolution and backward-in-time dynamics of the same population’s ancestry. I will show that a duality with very much the same genetic ancestral structure can be established for an infinite-dimensional diffusion – the Two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet diffusion – helping significantly the tractability of such processes for simulation and inference. *Webpage*: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/dualities-and-intertwini… *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an email.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

Seminario Christian Hirsch - Politecnico di Milano - 10 Ottobre 2024
by Luca Scarpa 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 10 Ottobre 2024, ore 14:30. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Christian Hirsch, Aarhus University. Title: Large deviations of one-hidden-layer neural networks. Abstract: In this talk, I will present large deviations in the context of stochastic gradient descent for one-hidden-layer neural networks with quadratic loss. I will explain how to derive quenched and annealed large deviation principle for the empirical weight evolution during training when letting the number of neurons and the number of training iterations simultaneously tend to infinity. The weight evolution is treated as an interacting dynamic particle system. The distinctive aspect compared to prior work on interacting particle systems lies in the discrete particle updates, simultaneously with a growing number of particles. This talk is based on joint work with Daniel Willhalm.

I relatori saranno Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova) e Giacomo Greco (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) che parleranno di Una passeggiata sui ponti di Schrödinger: dalla meccanica statistica all’algoritmo di Sinkhorn con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova) e Giacomo Greco (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) TITOLO: Una passeggiata sui ponti di Schrödinger: dalla meccanica statistica all’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. RIASSUNTO: Nel 1931, E.Schrödinger si interessò al problema di calcolare l’evoluzione più probabile di una nube di particelle Browniane indipendenti condizionatamente all’osservazione della loro configurazione agli istanti iniziale e finale. In linguaggio moderno, questo problema, detto problema di Schrödinger, viene formulato rigorosamente attraverso la teoria delle grandi deviazioni come un problema di minimizzazione entropica con vincoli marginali. Molti anni dopo, T.Mikami scoprì che il problema di Schrödinger converge verso il problema del trasporto ottimo, detto di Monge-Kantorovich, nel limite di rumore piccolo. Questo collegamento, che permette di vedere il problema di trasporto entropico come una regolarizzazione del problema deterministico, è stato largamente sfruttato negli ultimi anni nel contesto dello statistical machine learning. Il motivo principale di questo interesse è che il problema del trasporto entropico si può risolvere con un algoritmo veloce e di facile implementazione, l’algoritmo Sinkhorn. Tale algoritmo, introdotto negli anni '60, richiede solamente alcune semplici operazioni tra matrici, come la moltiplicazione componente per componente: in particolare, non è necessaria alcuna inversione di matrice. Dal punto di vista teorico, l’attrattiva principale risiede nella convergenza esponenziale nel numero di iterazioni. Tuttavia, la comprensione di questo fenomeno è ancora incompleta, per esempio nel caso base del costo quadratico, e più in generale per problemi di trasporto con costi non limitati e marginali a supporto non compatto. Anche per misure discrete, ci sono ancora numerose questioni aperte, per esempio riguardo alla dipendenza del tasso di convergenza dal parametro di regolarizzazione. L’obiettivo della prima parte di questo seminario è di introdurre il problema di Schrödinger come problema di meccanica statistica, esporre il collegamento con il problema di Monge Kantorovich, e introdurre l’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. Nella seconda parte il seminario si concentrerà sul problema della convergenza esponenziale, offrendo una panoramica su risultati più o meno recenti e le diverse tecniche di dimostrazione, e presentando alcune domande aperte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario Alice Callegaro
by Gustavo Posta 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Martedì 1 Ottobre 2024 alle 14:00 presso la Sala di Consiglio del dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" dell'Università degli studi di Roma "la Sapienza", Alice Callegaro (Technische Universität München) terrà il seminario dal titolo: Survival and complete convergence for a branching annihilating random walk Abstract: We study a branching annihilating random walk in which particles move on the discrete lattice in discrete generations. Each particle produces a poissonian number of offspring which independently move to a uniformly chosen site within a fixed distance from their parent's position. Whenever a site is occupied by at least two particles, all the particles at that site are annihilated. This can be thought of as a very strong form of local competition and implies that the system is not monotone. For certain ranges of the parameters of the model we show that the system dies out almost surely or, on the other hand, survives with positive probability. In an even more restricted parameter range we strengthen the survival results to complete convergence with a non-trivial invariant measure. A central tool in the proof is comparison with oriented percolation on a coarse-grained level, using carefully tuned density profiles which expand in time and are reminiscent of discrete travelling wave solutions. Based on a joint works with Matthias Birkner, Jiří Černý, Nina Gantert and Pascal Oswald. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Posta Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma "la Sapienza" P.le A.

Seminario di J. Moller al Politecnico di Milano, Mercoledì 9 ottobre
by Mario Beraha 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vi segnalo il seguente seminario in presenza presso il Politecnico di Milano. Il seminario verrà erogato anche in modalità on-line al seguente link https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/98526429718 9/10/2024, ore 10:00, Aula Saleri 6° Piano, Edifico 14 “La Nave”, campus Leonardo, via Edoardo Bonardi 9, 20133 Milano. Speaker: Jesper Moller, Aalborg University Titolo: The sufficient digits of continuous random variables Abstract: A general setting for nested subdivisions of a bounded real set into intervals defining the digits X_1,X_2, ... of a random variable X with a probability density function f is considered. Under the weak condition that f is almost everywhere lower semicontinuous, a coupling between X and a non-negative integer-valued random variable N is established so that X_1, ...,X_N have an interpretation as the “sufficient digits”, since the distribution of (X_{N+1}, X_{N+2}, ...) conditioned on (X_1, ...,X_N) does not depend on f. The importance of this coupling result and some suggestions and open problems for future research are discussed.

Buongiorno ricevo e con piacere inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Basile, Giada <basile(a)mat.uniroma1.it> Seminari di Fisica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" Università di Roma La Sapienza Mercoledì 25 settembre, ore 16:00, sala di Consiglio Heide Langhammer (WIAS, Berlin) *Large deviations for a spatial particle process with coagulation* Abstract. In this talk we consider a spatial version of the Marcus-Lushnikov process, which models the evolution of particles that merge pairwise in a series of coagulation events. The particles are equipped with a spatial location and an integer mass. In a coagulation event a pair of particles is merged and replaced by a new particle. The mass of the newly formed particle is the sum of the former two and its location is sampled according to a given distribution. The exponential rate of a coagulation event depends on the locations and masses of the particle pair via a coagulation kernel. For the non-spatial version of this model it is known that certain kernels exhibit a gelation phase transition, which describes the formation of one or several large particles after a finite time. In this talk we introduce a new approach for studying the process. We will provide a formula that connects its distribution to a Poisson point process and show how this can be used to derive a large deviation principle. From this we gain new insights into the limiting behavior of the process and obtain criteria for the gelation phase transition. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare.

International Conference in Venice on AI, digital and sustainability transitions - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
by Monica Billio 19 Sep '24

19 Sep '24

23nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2024 *The frontiers of new risks: AI, digital and sustainability transitions * Venice, Italy 3 – 4 October 2024 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy),*CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European Datawarehouse *(Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *Modefinance* (Trieste, Italy) are partners in organising a Conference to be held in Venice on October 3-4, 2024. * * The CREDIT 2024 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. CREDIT 2024 is the *twenty-third* in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics *and*VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies* - of the *Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*,*Joint Research Center European Commission*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria*, *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Sustainability necessarily involves the adaptation of today’s business model to the dynamic nature of the current digitalised environments. Corporations need to make sure that resources, especially technology, are being used responsibly and efficiently to improve the lives of the present generations and future generations as well as strengthen their relationships with the environment as to solve sustainability-related problems such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution and inequality. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address these societal problems including sustainability. The climate crisis and the degradation of the physical environment are complex problems that require the most innovative and advanced solutions. The real value of AI hence lies in its ability to facilitate and foster environmental and social governance, rather just as a tool to reduce pollution, poverty and resource depletion. In the age of AI, societies depend on big data, social media, knowledge management and data science to survive and achieve these sustainability goals. AI has the potential to reshape not only finance and industry but also the whole society. There is need to understand opportunities and challenges as to properly manage all relevant risks. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Marcin Kacperczyk *(Imperial College London, Programme Chair) *Monica Billio* (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) *Marie Brière* (AMUNDI & Université Libre de Bruxelles) *Lucia Alessi* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Leonardo Gambacorta *(Bank For International Settlements) *Mila Getmansky Sherman* (Isenberg School of Management, UMass Amherst) *Christian Gollier* (Toulouse School of Economics) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *PROGRAMME:* https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/general-information-credit24/programme-20… *REGISTRATION*: https://registration.nexave.org/it/iscrizione-evento/32/23rd-international-… For the Registration Fees and more detailed information, please visit the Conference website: https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2024 *ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF EUROPEAN FUNDING* The organization of the conference has benefitted from financial support by: - the European Union – Next Generation EU, Mission 4 Component 2, as part of the *GRINS project - Growing Resilient, INclusive and Sustainable* (code: PE0000018, CUP: H73C22000930001) - National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) - *ESG UPTAKE — TSI-2023-ESGRM-IBA* - ESG risk management framework for the financial sector.

ABSTRACTS ____________________________________________ SPEAKER: Prof. Marielle Simon (Université Lyon 1) TITLE: ``On exclusion processes with phase separation" ABSTRACT: "Stochastic lattice gases" are models of interacting particles subject to stochastic dynamics. They have been widely studied for about thirty years by both mathematicians and physicists. Their structure makes it possible to analyse them rigorously, while illustrating numerous physical phenomena: in particular, one of the main objectives is to prove rigorously the convergence of the microscopic system towards a macroscopic PDE, after rescaling in time and space (also known as the ‘hydrodynamic limit’). In the first lecture I will give several illustrations of this convergence result thanks to the most well-known example, namely the symmetric simple exclusion process. In the second lecture, I will show how to enrich these models in order to derive some phase separation at the macroscopic level, with a free boundary that moves within the system. SPEAKER: Prof. Michel Mandjes (Leiden University) TITLE: Dynamic random graphs: analysis and inference ABSTRACT: The bulk of the random graph literature concerns models that are of an inherently static nature, in that features of the random graph at a single point in time are considered. There are strong practical motivations, however, to consider random graphs that are stochastically evolving, so as to model networks’ inherent dynamics. In this talk I’ll discuss a set of dynamic random graph mechanisms and their probabilistic properties. Key results cover functional diffusion limits for subgraph counts (describing the behaviour around the mean) and a sample-path large-deviation principle (describing the rare-event behaviour, thus extending the seminal result for the static case developed by Chatterjee and Varadhan). The last part of my talk will be about estimation of the model parameters from partial information. We for instance demonstrate how the model’s underlying parameters can be estimated from just snapshots of the number of edges. We also consider settings in which particles move around on a dynamically evolving random graph, and in which the graph dynamics are inferred from the movements of the particles (i.e., not observing the graph process).

Jean Jacod seminar in Verona, 25/9/24 at noon
by Cecilia Mancini 13 Sep '24

13 Sep '24

Dear all, on Wednesday 25 September, at noon, Professor Jean Jacod will give the seminar High Frequency Returns Sign-Based Robust Inference, at the Department of Economics in Verona, via Cantarane 24, aula Vaona (from the main entrance of the main building in Santa Marta turn left, metal stairs, 1st floor, ring the bell on the right, staircase with 3 steps, room on the left) It is possible to follow it also on zoom at the following link: https://univr.zoom.us/j/94276571806 Abstract We derive the limit of infill asymptotic distribution for the sum of positive returns of prices or log-prices in a given period of time. The framework is multivariate and quite general: it allows for the presence of leverage effects and jumps with finite activity. In a second step, the results are used to estimate the drifts (or rather, the Sharpe ratios) of the continuous part of the processes. Joint work with Nour Meddahi All interested people are warmly invited to take part Best regards in the meantime, Cecilia

Seminar Anna Calissano @LUISS
by Alessia Caponera 13 Sep '24

13 Sep '24

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at LUISS University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Anna Calissano, Imperial College London *Title*: *Barycentric Subspace Analysis for Sets of Graphs* *When*: September 19th, 12:00 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 103a-103b *Abstract*: Barycentric subspace analysis (BSA) is introduced for a set of unlabelled graphs, which are graphs with no correspondence between nodes. Identifying each graph by the set of its eigenvalues, the graph spectrum space is defined as a novel and computationally efficient quotient manifold of isospectral graphs. In such a manifold, the notion of BSA is extended. We showcase how BSA can be used as a powerful dimensionality reduction technique for complex data: BSA searches for a subspace of a lower dimension, minimizing the projection of data points. As the subspace is identified by a set of reference points, the interpretation is straightforward. BSA is performed and compared with clustering and PCA on a simulated dataset and a real-world dataset of airline company networks. Joint work with Elodie Maignant, Alain Trouvé, and Xavier Pennec *Webpage*: *https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/barycentric-subspace-analysis-for-sets-of-graphs <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/barycentric-subspace-ana…>* *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an email.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

(PMS)^2 talk - D. Kinzebulatov - sept 10 at 14:00
by Carlo Orrieri 06 Sep '24

06 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following talk Damir Kinzebulatov (Université Laval) Recent progress on well-posedness of singular SDEs with critical drifts Abstract: In the first part of the talk, I will review the basic results on SDEs with singular drifts. In the second part, I will discuss some recent progress on weak and strong existence and conditional uniqueness for SDEs with singular drifts having critical-order singularities. These drifts either (a) reach the critical strength of the singularities, i.e. multiplying such a drift by a constant even slightly greater than 1 can destroy the weak existence, or (b) are more singular (not necessarily even in L^{2}_{\loc}(R^{1+d})) and can have critical 1/\sqrt{t} singularities in time. I will be referring to De Giorgi's method in L^p with p chosen sufficiently large (in order to accommodate the strength of the singularities going up to the critical threshold), some "fractional" Duhamel series representations and an appropriate parabolic Adams-Krylov estimate, the method of Röckner-Zhao of constructing strong solutions, and a "critical" Orlicz space with gauge function \cosh - 1 that allows to treat the Kolmogorov operator with the borderline strength of the singularities in the drift where the L^p no longer exists. Date and time: Thursday September 10, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, Dip. Matematica, Univ. Di Pavia. Zoom meeting link: https://unipv-it.zoom.us/j/96306243310?pwd=YahZ15tfGy3iF4SoCc5JoQ5UDxDiDB.1 <https://unipv-it.zoom.us/j/96306243310?pwd=YahZ15tfGy3iF4SoCc5JoQ5UDxDiDB.1> ID riunione: 963 0624 3310 Codice d’accesso: 920516 These talks are part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia and Milano-Politecnico. Participation is free and welcome! Best regards The organizers (Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Seminar Professor Michael Benzaquen 26/09 aula mancini@SNS
by Manuel NAVIGLIO 06 Sep '24

06 Sep '24

Dear All, On the morning of Thursday, 26th, we will be hosting a seminar by Professor Michael Benzaquen from École Polytechnique and Capital Fund Management, Paris. The seminar will take place at 10:00 AM in Aula Mancini at Scuola Normale. Attached, you will find the title and abstract of the seminar. Additionally, I would like to remind you that Professor Benzaquen will also give another seminar in the afternoon, as part of the Physics in the AI Era <https://agenda.infn.it/event/40134/> conference, in Aula Stemmi. The title of this seminar is: "Econophysics: Why and What For?". Best regards, Manuel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mitigating Farmland Biodiversity Loss: A Bio-Economic Model of Land Consolidation and Pesticide Use Biodiversity loss driven by agricultural intensification is a pressing global issue, with significant implications for ecosystem stability and human well-being. We design an integrated bio-economic agent-based model, informed by historical data from the French agricultural sector, to project future biodiversity trends and evaluate policy interventions. Our model predicts further biodiversity decline under a business-as-usual scenario, primarily due to intensified land consolidation. We evaluate two policy options: reducing pesticide use and subsidizing small farmers. While pesticide reduction rapidly benefits biodiversity in the beginning, it eventually leads to increased land consolidation and further biodiversity loss. In contrast, subsidizing small farmers by reallocating a small fraction of existing subsidies, stabilizes farm sizes and enhances biodiversity in the long run. The most effective strategy results from combining both policies, leveraging pesticide reduction alongside targeted subsidies to balance economic pressures and consistently improve biodiversity.

talk Prof. Felix-Benedikt Liebrich - 10 September
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 04 Sep '24

04 Sep '24

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Tuesday 10th of September 2024 at 16:30* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): *Speaker: *Felix-Benedikt Liebrich (Univ. of Amsterdam) *Title:* The (?) reference measure *Abstract:* A functional on random variables is law invariant with respect to a reference probability (or probabilistically sophisticated) if its value only depends on the distribution of its argument under that measure. The class of such functionals is not only vast, but of integral importance for financial, actuarial, and economic applications. In this talk, we take a concrete functional as given and ask (i) if there can be more than one such reference probability, and (ii) how one can infer the reference probability from the functional. This stance is in contrast to wide parts of the literature that treat the reference probability as given. Nevertheless, as I will show at the beginning of my talk, it is in line with the investigation of probabilistically sophisticated preferences and arises as a natural consequence of the Marinacci-Svistula Uniqueness Theorem. Concerning question (i), I demonstrate that uniqueness holds for a wide class of functionals unless they are constant or depend only on the essential supremum and essential infimum of the argument. Applications to monetary and return risk measures will be given. Concerning the calibration question (ii), I show how to infer the reference measure as a related supremum or infimum in the space of bounded charges. While this approach is generally versatile, it fails in the important case of the Value-at-Risk. Here, a suitable alternative is presented.
