Prof. Fabrizio Lillo's seminar at University of Milano-Bicocca.
by Giorgio Rizzini 03 Apr '26

03 Apr '26

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar by Prof. Fabrizio Lillo (Scuola Normale Superiore) on *Tuesday, April 14th, 2026,* starting at 11:00 at the U7 building, room 4057, Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan): *Why is the estimation of market impact of large trades with public market data so challenging?* *Abstract:* Estimating market impact and transaction costs of large trades (metaorders) is a very important topic in finance. However, using models of price and trade based on public market data provides average price trajectories which are qualitatively different from what is observed during real metaorder executions. We claim that this is a generic phenomenon due to the fact that even sophisticated statistical models are unable to correctly describe the origin of the autocorrelation of the order flow. In the talk (i) we propose a modified Transient Impact Model which provides more realistic trajectories by assuming that only a fraction of the metaorder trading triggers market order flow and (ii) we propose to use Bayesian online change-point detection methods to identify order flow regime shifts in real-time and enable online predictions of order flow and market impact. The seminar will be held in a hybrid format (in-person and online). If you would like to attend remotely or require any further information, please write to *giorgio.rizzini(a)unimib.it <giorgio.rizzini(a)unimib.it>* Best regards and happy Easter!

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- - data e orario: 9 Aprile 2024 ore 14.30 - sala riunioni primo piano, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/isi-ipsn-tpa *Title:* From Monge to Huber through a Schrödinger Bridge: Robust Optimal Transport in Large Dimensions *Prof. Davide La Vecchia*, University of Geneva *Abstract*: Optimal Transport (OT) plays an increasingly important role in modern statistics and machine learning. I will begin the talk with a gentle introduction to the OT problem, first in its classical Monge formulation andthen in the relaxed Kantorovich framework, highlighting their statistical relevance and limitations. I will then present two recent advances that address the sensitivity of classical OT to outliers and heavy-tailed distributions. The first is the Robust Optimal Transport (ROBOT) framework, which leads to the robust Wasserstein Distance , a Huberised version of . I discuss its main properties,concentration inequalities, and consequences for minimum-distance estimation,together with applications in statistics (e.g., location estimation under heavy tails) and in machine learning (e.g., Generative Adversarial Networks). I will illustrate that ROBOT is effective in handling outlying values but is still sensitive to the dimensionality of the data. Thus, in the second part of the talk I introduce E-ROBOT, which integrates ROBOT with entropic regularization through connections to the Schrödinger bridge problem. This yields the robust Sinkhorn divergence , which enjoys dimension-free sample complexity of order, where n denotes the sample size. I briefly illustrate its use in large dimensional tasks in statistics, image analysis, and machine learning (e.g., goodness-of-fit testing, barycenter computation for corrupted shapes, gradient flows, and image colour transfer). Overall, the talk provides a unified perspective on robustness and regularization in OT, together with theoretical guarantees and practical computational tools.

30 Mar '26

The STREAM group (https://www.unive.it/pag/16818/) of the Ca’ Foscari University, in collaboration with the Data-Centric Environmental Studies Centre (DESC <https://www.unive.it/web/it/15083/home>), invites you all to STATISTICAL REFLECTIONS Half-day Workshop on Statistical Methods <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GaAmvj5l4a9qmESfDGz9Q3wuQqgD6_ym/view?usp=…> Venice April 8, 2026 Ca’ Foscari University Scientific Campus Aula Epsilon 2 Via Torino 155 Venezia Mestre Program: -14:00 Miguel de Carvalho (University of Edinburgh): On Extremal Vulnerability in Multivariate Extremes -14:45 Philippe Naveau (Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement): A Kullback--Leibler divergence test for multivariate extremes with applications to environmental data -15:45 Simone Padoan (Bocconi University): Optimal weighted pooling for inference about the tail index and extreme quantiles Speaker: Miguel de Carvalho University of Edinburgh), UK https://webhomes.maths.ed.ac.uk/~mdecarv/ <https://warwick.ac.uk/dfirth> On Extremal Vulnerability in Multivariate Extremes In many complex systems, identifying the most vulnerable component is essential for effective prevention, intervention, and risk management. In this talk, I will introduce the notion of extremal vulnerability, defined as the long run tendency of a component to be affected by extreme events occurring in other components. The proposed framework builds on the tail dependence matrix and introduces the Extremal Vulnerability Rank (XVRank) method—a PageRank-inspired algorithm designed to quantify extremal vulnerability. We establish the theoretical properties of the proposed inferences, including consistency and asymptotic normality, and validate their performance through Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed methods are illustrated using financial data to determine assets most exposed to severe market downturns. Speaker: Philippe Naveau Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement, France https://www.lsce.ipsl.fr/en/pisp/philippe-naveau/ <https://www.ikosmidis.com/> A Kullback--Leibler divergence test for multivariate extremes with applications to environmental data Testing whether two multivariate samples exhibit the same extremal behavior is an important problem in various fields including environmental and climate sciences. While several ad-hoc approaches exist in the literature, they often lack theoretical justification and statistical guarantees. On the other hand, extreme value theory provides the theoretical foundation for constructing asymptotically justified tests. We combine this theory with Kullback--Leibler divergence, a fundamental concept in information theory and statistics, to propose a test for equality of extremal dependence structures in practically relevant directions. Under suitable assumptions, we derive the limiting distributions of the proposed statistic under null and alternative hypotheses. Importantly, our test is fast to compute and easy to interpret by practitioners, making it attractive in applications. Simulations and various environmental applications will be covered. Speaker: Simone Padoan Bocconi University, Italy https://www.unibocconi.it/en/faculty/simone-padoan <https://www.unibocconi.it/en/faculty/simone-padoan> Optimal weighted pooling for inference about the tail index and extreme quantiles We investigate pooling strategies for tail index and extreme quantile estimation from heavy-tailed data. To fully exploit the information contained in several samples, we present general weighted pooled Hill estimators of the tail index and weighted pooled Weissman estimators of extreme quantiles calculated through a nonstandard geometric averaging scheme. Our results include optimal choices of pooling weights based on asymptotic variance and MSE minimization. In the important application of distributed inference, we show that the variance-optimal distributed estimators are asymptotically equivalent to the benchmark Hill and Weissman estimators based on the unfeasible combination of subsamples, while the AMSE-optimal distributed estimators enjoy a smaller AMSE than the benchmarks in the case of large bias. Simulations confirm the statistical inferential theory of our pooled estimators. An application to real weather data is showcased. Participation is free and open to anybody interested.

Luciano Campi, Maurizia Rossi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SPEAKERS: Jodi Dianetti (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) and Giorgio Ferrari (Bielefeld University) TITLE: Singular Stochastic Controls in Reinforcement Learning and Mean-field Problems ABSTRACT: This talk is divided into two parts, both devoted to stochastic control problems with singular controls. In both cases, a connection with optimal stopping plays a key role, although it arises in different ways and from different perspectives. In the first part, we consider optimal stopping problems from a reinforcement learning perspective. We formulate the stopping decision through randomized stopping times, modeled by bounded, nondecreasing, càdlàg control processes, and introduce an entropy regularization that promotes exploration. The resulting problem can be rewritten as a degenerate, finite-fuel singular stochastic control problem. Using dynamic programming, we characterize the optimal exploratory policy, obtain semi-explicit solutions in a real-option setting, analyze the vanishing-entropy limit, and propose a policy-iteration reinforcement learning algorithm with convergence guarantees. In the second part, we turn to mean-field control problems with singular controls over a finite horizon, allowing for general dependence on the distribution of the state. We show that these problems can be linked to a mean-field game with singular controls, and that equilibria of this game yield optimal controls for the original problem. For a mean-field version of the classical monotone follower problem, the associated equilibrium is characterized by exploiting its connection with optimal stopping together with a Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed-point argument, leading to a complete characterization of the optimal control in terms of a moving free boundary that uniquely solves a nonlinear integral equation. The talk is based on (ongoing) joint works with Andrea Amato, Federico Cannerozzi, and Renyuan Xu. --------------------------------------------------------

Seminario di Enrico Scalas
by Lorenzo Facciaroni 26 Mar '26

26 Mar '26

Buonasera, Vi segnalo il seguente seminario (https://www.dss.uniroma1.it/it/node/8750) di domani 27 Marzo del prof. Enrico Scalas, che si terrà presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche (Sapienza Università di Roma, edificio CU002) in aula V, alle ore 12:00: *The Ehrenfest-Brillouin Model and its Applications* The Ehrenfest-Brillouin Model (EBM) is a framework for understanding complex systems. We begin by establishing a hierarchy of state descriptions, moving from individual descriptions to statistical descriptions before arriving at "frequencies of frequencies." This structural approach facilitates a rigorous definition of the EBM as a random dynamic process whose state space coincides with these world descriptions. The EBM is an irreducible and aperiodic Markov chain, ensuring the convergence to a unique stationary distribution regardless of the initial state. The EBM dynamics incorporates interaction parameters that allow the system to recover Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein, or Fermi- Dirac statistics depending on the degree of dependency between agents. The model’s stochastic rules naturally yield emergent phenomena such as power laws. Finally, we discuss the broad applicability of the EBM in physics and the social sciences, for example in modeling wealth distribution. The EBM provides a unifying bridge between the combinatorial foundations of statistical mechanics and socio-economic theory.

Next POPS talk today by Andreas Klippel: Dimers, double dimers, and spatial permutations with long-range interactions
by Jonas Köppl 25 Mar '26

25 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, We are excited to announce that our speaker today will be Andreas Klippel, who will be speaking about dimers, double dimers, and spatial permutations with long-range interactions. Join us today, March 25th at 13:30 GMT, 14:30 CET, 15:30 EET on Zoom with the following link: https://wias-berlin-de.zoom-x.de/j/66747761513?pwd=nfPUbXHA8aLmyo4qESwbRxTk… The talk is scheduled for one hour, allowing time for questions. Additionally, we'll be remaining on the call for a chat afterwards if you'd like to join us. ------------------------------------------ Speaker: Andreas Klippel (TU Darmstadt) Title: Dimers, double dimers, and spatial permutations with long-range interactions Abstract: The dimer model and its associated double-dimer model are fundamental objects in probability theory, statistical mechanics, and combinatorics. While their planar behavior is by now well understood, much less is known beyond planarity. We study these models on Z^d-like graphs, d \geq 1, allowing long-range edges whose weights decay with distance. For a large class of such interactions, we show that monomer correlations in the dimer model remain uniformly positive, and that loops in the double-dimer model are macroscopic. In this talk, I will introduce the models, explain their connection to spatial permutations, and give an overview of the main proof ideas. In particular, we will take a closer look at the key method, namely reflection positivity.

Fwd: Colloquium Rendiconti//26 marzo//Francois Golse
by Faggionato, Alessandra 25 Mar '26

25 Mar '26

Buongiorno, Ricevo e con piacere inoltro il seguente annuncio di un Colloquium Rendiconti che si terrà presso il Dipartimento d Matematica G. Castelnuovo dell'Università di Roma La Sapienza. Saluti Alessandra --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Colloquium Rendiconti* Giovedì 26 marzo 2026, ore 17, aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma Francois Golse (École Polytechnique, Paris) *An Invitation to Quantum Optimal Transport* Abstract. Optimal transport is an old branch of the calculus of variations whose origins can be traced back to an important memoir of Monge in 1781, followed by remarkable contributions due to Kantorovich in 1942, and in the last 50 years by R.L. Dobrushin, Y. Brenier, and many others. Among the by-products of optimal transport is a family of distances metrizing the weak topology of Borel probability measures on Euclidean spaces. The analogy between Borel probability measures on phase space and the notion of density operators used in quantum mechanics suggests defining a notion of « pseudometric » which can be used to compare two (quantum) density operators, or a density operator with a probability density in phase space. The talk will discuss the main properties of this pseudometric, and applications to some problems arising in quantum dynamics (such as the classical limit, or the mean-field limit of large particle systems…) This presentation is based on a series of works with E. Caglioti, C. Mouhot and T. Paul. -- ************************************************* 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 *************************************************

SBI is often used when the likelihood is intractable and to construct confidence sets that do not rely on asymptotic methods or regularity conditions. Traditional SBI methods assume that the model is correct, but, as always, this can lead to invalid inference when the model is misspecified. This paper introduces robust methods that allow for valid frequentist inference in the presence of model misspecification. We propose a framework where the target of inference is a projection parameter that minimizes a discrepancy between the true distribution and the assumed model. The method guarantees valid inference, even when the model is incorrectly specified and even if the standard regularity conditions fail. Alternatively, we introduce model expansion through exponential tilting as another way to account for model misspecification. We also develop an SBI based goodness-of-fit test to detect model misspecification. Finally, we propose two ideas that are useful in the SBI framework beyond robust inference: an SBI based method to obtain closed form approximations of intractable models and an active learning approach to more efficiently sample the parameter space. Keywords: Exponential tilting, model misspecification, robust inference, simulation based inference, valid inference. Reference: L. Tomaselli, V. Ventura, L. Wasserman.

Abstract: We find an approximate Nash equilibrium in a game between decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that compete for order flow by setting dynamic trading fees. We characterize the equilibrium via a coupled system of partial differential equations and derive tractable approximate closed-form expressions for the equilibrium fees. Our analysis shows that the two-regime structure found in monopoly models persists under competition: pools alternate between raising fees to deter arbitrage and lowering fees to attract noise trading and increase volatility. Under competition, however, the switching boundary shifts from the oracle price to a weighted average of the oracle and competitors' exchange rates. Our numerical experiments show that, holding total liquidity fixed, an increase in the number of competing DEXs reduces execution slippage for strategic liquidity takers and lowers fee revenue per DEX. Finally, the effect on noise traders' slippage depends on market activity: they are worse off in low-activity markets but better off in high-activity ones. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

Seminar of Jim Gatheral @Tor Vergata
by Davide Pirino 19 Mar '26

19 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the seminar by *Jim Gatheral (Baruch College CUNY)* at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. *When: *Wednesday, 25 March at 1:00 pm *Where:* University of Rome Tor Vergata, Department of Economics and Finance (Via Columbia 2, Roma) *Room:* Building B, 2nd Floor, Sala del Consiglio *Title: *From Bachelier to Rough Volatility: The Complex Dynamics of Financial Prices *Abstract: *The dynamics of financial prices emerge from the interaction of thousands of trading algorithms operating across multiple time scales. From an options trader’s perspective, option prices act as experimental probes of this complex system. Starting with Bachelier and Black-Scholes, we show why constant-volatility models fail to explain empirical features such as volatility clustering, leverage, and the persistent shape of implied volatility surfaces. Stochastic volatility models capture many of these features; rough volatility is then motivated by power-law scaling in volatility dynamics. The talk concludes with quadratic rough Heston fits to SPX and VIX smiles, illustrating how rough volatility provides a coherent framework for pricing and risk management. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best regards, -- Davide Pirino. Department of Economics and Finance, Tor Vergata University of Rome.

SBI is often used when the likelihood is intractable and to construct confidence sets that do not rely on asymptotic methods or regularity conditions. Traditional SBI methods assume that the model is correct, but, as always, this can lead to invalid inference when the model is misspecified. This paper introduces robust methods that allow for valid frequentist inference in the presence of model misspecification. We propose a framework where the target of inference is a projection parameter that minimizes a discrepancy between the true distribution and the assumed model. The method guarantees valid inference, even when the model is incorrectly specified and even if the standard regularity conditions fail. Alternatively, we introduce model expansion through exponential tilting as another way to account for model misspecification. We also develop an SBI based goodness-of-fit test to detect model misspecification. Finally, we propose two ideas that are useful in the SBI framework beyond robust inference: an SBI based method to obtain closed form approximations of intractable models and an active learning approach to more efficiently sample the parameter space. *Keywords*: Exponential tilting, model misspecification, robust inference, simulation based inference, valid inference. *Reference*: L.

SEMINAR: Alessandra Luati @Luiss - 26 mar
by Matteo Iacopini 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Dear all, On Thursday, 26th March, at 12:00 in room A307b, the Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences of Luiss University of Rome will host a seminar by Alessandra Luati (Imperial College London) Title: "Unobserved components, approximate filters, and dynamic adaptive mixture models” Abstract: State estimation in unobserved component models with parameter uncertainty is traditionally performed through approximate filters, where Gaussian distributions with given moments are employed to replace otherwise intractable conditional densities. This paper re-examines signal-plus-noise models where parameter uncertainty is induced by a latent variable that may assume a fixed number of states. First, it is shown that, for these models, the approximate filters commonly adopted in the literature can be obtained as linear combinations of minimum variance linear unbiased estimators. Second, it is observed that they coincide with filters implied by a novel class of dynamic adaptive mixture models, where the parameters of a mixture of distributions evolve over time following a recursion that is based on the score of the one-step-ahead predictive distribution. Focusing on a robust specification, where the mixture components are Student’s t distributions, we prove existence, stationarity, and ergodicity of the data generating process as well as invertibility of the filter, and consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator of the static parameters. An application to energy spot prices is discussed, where the novel specification is compared with, and shown to outperform, robust score-driven filters and the related class of mixture autoregressive models.

by Azzimonti Laura 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Dear All, We are pleased to announce that the course on Federated Learning in Bioinformatics<https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20260427_FEDBX> of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) is open for applications. The course will be held in Lugano on 27 April 2026. This course introduces federated learning—a decentralised machine learning approach that enables multiple parties to collaboratively train a shared model using their own data sources without sharing the data itself, thereby enhancing privacy and security. In this course, you will learn the main concepts of federated learning and how to apply it to bioinformatics, which includes practicing on developing an algorithm for single‑cell data. This course is designed for life scientists and bioinformaticians from academia or industry who are curious about using machine learning while keeping sensitive data secure. Further detailed information, prerequisites and application form are available here<https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20260427_FEDBX>.

by Elia Bisi 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to the following SPASS seminar (jointly organised by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi): Speaker: Nicos Georgiou (University of Sussex) Title: The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on Galton-Watson trees Date and time: Wed 25th March at 14:00 Place: Room 107, Centro Didattico Morgagni, University of Florence Join online: meet.google.com/esm-ijgd-wai On behalf of the organisers, Elia Bisi ********************* Abstract: We define a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on trees, where the particles enter the tree from a reservoir attached to the root. Particles can only jump following edges on the tree and only if they are jumping away from the root, to a non-occupied vertex. We are interested in two different aspects of this particle system. First we want to investigate the current of particles across a given generation at a specific time, when we start from an initially empty initial condition. Second, we would like some current estimates along a ray. Both answers depend heavily on our choice of jump rates for the particles and different regimes of behaviour will be presented during the talk. ————————— Elia Bisi Assistant Professor (RTT) University of Florence Department of Mathematics & Computer Science Personal homepage Florence Probability group

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Martedì 24 Marzo 2026, ore 14:30. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Paolo Baldi. Title: Around Large Deviations in a Gaussian world. Abstract: The investigation of Large Deviations estimates in the Gaussian setting begins with the results of Donsker and Varadhan concerning the LD behavior of a Gaussian r.v. with values in a separable Banach space when multiplied by a small parameter. In this talk, after a review of the old results I shall present some new extensions, motivated by the investigation of Gaussian processes in small time.

Seminar by Prof. Michel Mandjes at IMT Lucca | March 18th, 2026
by Anna Gallo 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Dear all, On behalf of Prof. Diego Garlaschelli, I am pleased to announce that next week *Professor Michel Mandjes *will visit IMT Lucca and give a seminar entitled *Inference Problems in Stochastic Networks *(see abstract below). The seminar will take place on: *March 18th, 2026 – 3:00 PM*San Francesco Complex – Sagrestia Join online at imt.lu/sagrestia. All the best, Anna ------------------------------------------------ *Abstract*: The majority of the random graph literature focuses on inherently static models, in which features of the graph are considered only at a single point in time. Yet there are strong practical motivations to study stochastically evolving graphs, which capture the inherent dynamics of real-world networks. Moreover, one can even consider stochastic processes evolving on these dynamic graphs, further enriching the modeling framework. The main focus of my talk is on estimating, in the framework discussed above, model parameters from partial information. For example, in a first basic variant, we demonstrate how the underlying parameters of a dynamic random graph can be inferred from snapshots of the subgraph counts. A second model is an age-structured branching process, the most elementary instance being a setting with just juveniles and adults. Remarkably, the model parameters can be estimated just observing the total population. Next, I consider a static network of nodes represented as infinite-server queues. Our goal is to estimate key parameters — such as arrival rates, service-time distributions, and the routing matrix — using observations of the network’s population vector at Poisson-sampled time points. We propose a method-of-moments estimator and establish its consistency. Numerical experiments show that this approach provides accurate estimates even in high-dimensional settings. We present two variants: one assuming a known parametric form for the service-time distributions, and a "model-free version" that does not rely on such assumptions. Finally, we study a population process evolving on a dynamic random graph. Using time series data on the number of individuals at each node, we successfully estimate parameters governing the graph dynamics. We prove that the estimator is asymptotically normal.

13 Mar '26

Buongiorno a tutte/i, Vorremmo segnalarvi che Venerdì prossimo (6 Marzo) alle 14:30 in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Nicolas Bouchot (Universität Innsbruck) <https://www.uibk.ac.at/mathematik/personal/bouchot-nicolas/bouchotnicolas.h tml> website Title: Confined walk, interlacements and covering time Date: March 6, 2026, at 14:30, 2AB40 Abstract: Random interlacements are understood to naturally arise as a full-volume limit of random walks spending a long time inside a domain. However, this understanding is somewhat indirect, as it is often through ways of large deviations principles. In this talk, I will present a straightforward model: the random walk confined inside a domain. We obtain a precise coupling between this confined walk and some interlacements tilted by the first Laplace eigenvector on the domain. As an application, I will present asymptotics for the covering time of subdomains by the confined walk.

Probability Seminar by Eviatar Procaccia, 12/03/26, at Milano-Bicocca
by Tal Orenshtein 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Dear all, I am pleased to announce a seminar talk by *Eviatar Procaccia* at the Department of Mathematics and Applications of the University of *Milano-Bicocca *on Thursday, March 12 at 15:30. Below you can find the details. Best regards, Tal Orenshtein ---------------------------- *Time and place: *Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 15:30, Room U9/08 (Edificio U9, viale dell'Innovazione 10) *Speaker:* *Eviatar Procaccia* (Technion – Israel Institute of Technology) *Title:* The Pool Model: a rotationally symmetric, mass-preserving MDLA variant *Abstract:* Multi-particle diffusion-limited aggregation (MDLA) describes the growth of an aggregate driven by a cloud of diffusing particles. Classic works of Kesten, Rath, Sidoravicius, Stauffer, and Sly show that in the high-intensity regime the MDLA aggregate grows linearly in time, while the low-intensity regime remains largely open. We introduce the pool model, a rotationally symmetric analogue in which particles (“droplets”) perform continuous-time random walks and are absorbed upon entering a circular pool initially centered at the origin. Each absorbed particle increases the pool’s mass, and the pool expands so that its area grows accordingly—yielding a natural mass-preserving dynamics. The imposed rotational symmetry makes the model more tractable for rigorous analysis, while retaining key features of MDLA. In this talk we focus on the critical density separating finite growth from explosive behavior, and we present rigorous bounds on the pool’s growth rate at and near criticality.

Seminario del Prof. Georgiou a Roma, Sapienza
by Enrico Scalas 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Buongiorno, se avete perduto il seminario di Napoli di Nicos Georgiou, c'è la possibilità di seguirlo a Roma dopodomani. Infatti, il 12 marzo 2026, in aula 34 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma, a partire dalle ore 14, il Prof. Nicos Georgiou, University of Sussex, UK, terrà un seminario dal titolo: Mean-field limit and parameter estimation for contagion dynamics on higher-order structures Classical models of contagion epidemics have graph based representations where the nodes represent the population and infections occur from an infected individual to a susceptible individual via a network link between them. At the same time, healing mechanisms try to fight the epidemic at node level. The simple descriptions of these representations also underscore their limitations, since the propagation of contagions in complex systems often involves repeated or simultaneous stimuli that individuals receive from their social contacts (such as their work or household). One may mechanistically encode these non-linear effects into contagion models by considering interactions that go beyond simple pairwise connections, by using hypergraphs rather than graphs. In this talk we will see the role higher-order interactions can play in the behaviour of the model when a rigorous mean-field can be obtained. Furthermore, we will discuss some inference techniques for the parameters of the epidemic (rates of infection) when only partial information on the type of infection is available and with only a single realisation of the epidemic curve as a datum. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Enrico Scalas

special session at SIEDS 2026, Catania
by Luca Martino 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Dear all, I am sending below the call for the special session “Automatic Machine Judgment - Rethinking Evaluation in Academic Careers” (SIEDS 2026, Catania) and would appreciate it if you could share it with potentially interested colleagues. BR, Luca Martino (luca.martino(a)unict.it) -------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE of the special session: Automatic Machine Judgment - Rethinking Evaluation in Academic Careers Conference: LXII Riunione scientifica Società Italiana di Economia Demografia e Statistica (SIEDS 2026) https://www.sieds.it/index.php/page-presentazione/ PLACE AND DATES: Catania, 27-29 maggio 2026 Paper abstracts until 10 April 2026: https://www.sieds.it/index.php/page-call-for-papers/ https://www.sieds.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Istruzioni-per-sottomettere… Special session The increasing reliance on quantitative indicators - such as citation counts, h-index, journal impact factors, and composite researcher scores - has transformed how academic merit is defined, measured, and rewarded. At the same time, universities and funding agencies are progressively incorporating algorithmic tools and automated decision-support systems into processes governing hiring, promotion, tenure, and grant allocation. These developments raise fundamental questions about meritocracy, transparency, and fairness in research evaluation. High-profile ranking exercises - such as the widely circulated “2% scientists” list produced by researchers at Stanford University - illustrate how composite bibliometric indicators can shape reputations, institutional strategies, and individual career trajectories on a global scale, often without clear public understanding of their methodological assumptions or limitations We invite contributions that critically examine those points. The session is organized by Prof. Luca Martino (luca.martino(a)unict.it) in collaboration with the Association “Trasparenza e Merito” (*https://www.trasparenzaemerito.org/ <https://www.trasparenzaemerito.org/>*). By bringing together scholars in scientometrics, research policy, sociology of science, and higher-education governance, this session aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on how evaluation systems shape academic behavior and institutional priorities. Interested participants are invited to submit an abstract by 10 April 2026 and to send (possibly) it via email to luca.martino(a)unict.it

Seminar of Maria Elvira Mancino @Tor Vergata
by Davide Pirino 09 Mar '26

09 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the seminar by *Maria Elvira Mancino (University of Florence)* at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. *When: *Wednesday, 11 March at 1:00 pm *Where:* University of Rome Tor Vergata, Department of Economics and Finance *Room:* Building B, 2nd Floor, Sala del Consiglio *Title: * *Honey BEE VOLatility: An environmental index for assessing climatic risk impact on ecosystems service provision* *Abstract: *This study investigates the impact of high-frequency climate risk, specifically temperature volatility, on honey bee production. Recognizing the crucial role of honey bees as environmental sentinels and their sensitivity to climatic variables, the research extends beyond conventional analyses of long-term average temperatures to explore the effects of short-term temperature "surprises." Using high-frequency, irregularly spaced data from thousands of Italian beehives (2019-2024), combined with external temperature data, a non-parametric estimation of weekly integrated volatility is provided. The results highlight that beehives in areas with lower biodiversity and higher pollution are more susceptible to high-frequency temperature volatility, whereas those in richer, cleaner environments show greater resilience. This underscores the critical importance of local environmental quality in mediating the impacts of climate risk on honey bee health and production. Everyone is welcome to attend.

We are pleased to announce two seminars by Daniel Ahlberg (Stockholm University) in Como and Milano. Wednesday, 18 March at 14:30 – Università dell'Insubria Title: Random perturbations of Euclidean geometry Room VS8.A (Torre di Via Valleggio 11, Como) Streaming (TEAMS): link <https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/32336493339992?p=OGABFTFErevQVUAOiT> Thursday, 19 March at 14:30 – Università di Milano-Bicocca Title: Noise sensitivity in spatial growth Room U9-08 (Building U9, Viale dell'Innovazione 10, Milano) Streaming (WEBEX): link <https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=mc1585e72e7593a9d9f0a3145116c…> The abstracts follow below. All interested participants are welcome. Best regards, Francesco Caravenna (with Giovanni Bazzoni and Davide Bignamini) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract (Como). Various probabilistic models for spatial growth can be thought of as random perturbations of Euclidean geometry. These models exhibit complex phenomena which are usually associated to critical behaviour, which is of central interest in contemporary probability theory. We will in this talk describe some of these phenomena, and relate their occurrence to the nature of Euclidean geometry. Abstract (Milano). The study of noise sensitivity of Boolean functions and percolation was initiated in a seminal paper of Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm in 1999. While subsequent studies have revealed fascinating phenomena in the context of percolation, few results have so far been obtained regarding other random spatial processes. We will in this talk present the first results of noise sensitivity for a growth process associated to the KPZ universality class. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- __________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://fcaraven.github.io/ __________________________________

Reminder [STAR Seminar] Wed March 4 - Emanuela Rosazza Gianin
by Leonardo Tarquini 03 Mar '26

03 Mar '26

Dear all, This is a gentle reminder for tomorrow's STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/groups/risk-stochastics/star-se…> Wednesday March 4th from 11:00 to 12:00 (Oslo time). As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/63320233061>. The speaker is Emanuela Rosazza Gianin (University of Milano Bicocca) with the talk: Title: Measuring financial resilience using BSDEs Abstract: We propose the resilience rate as a measure of financial resilience that captures the rate at which a dynamic risk measure recovers, i.e., bounces back, after the risk-acceptance set is breached. We develop the associated stochastic calculus by establishing representation theorems of a suitable time-derivative of solutions to backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) evaluated at stopping times. These results reveal that our resilience rate can be represented as an expectation of the generator of a BSDE. We also introduce resilience-acceptance sets and study their properties in relation to both the resilience rate and the dynamic risk measure. The definition of the resilience rate is generalized from a Brownian filtration to the case of dynamic risk measures induced by BSDEs with jumps. We illustrate our results in several examples. Based on a joint work with Matteo Ferrari, Roger Laeven, and Marco Zullino. We are looking forward to seeing you! Best regards, Giulia, Leonardo, Pere, and David

MOX Colloquia: Tilmann Gneiting - Giovedì 5 Marzo ore 14:00
by Laura Maria Sangalli 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo il seguente seminario della serie dei MOX COLLOQUIA: 05.03.26 ore 14:00 - Aula Consiglio, Edificio 14, Politecnico di Milano Speaker: Prof. Tilmann Gneiting, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Titolo: Assessing Monotone Dependence - with Applications to Weather Prediction Abstract: The assessment of monotone dependence between random variables $X$ and $Y$ is a classical problem in statistics and a gamut of application domains. Consequently, researchers have sought measures of association that are invariant under strictly increasing transformations of the margins, with the extant literature being splintered. Rank correlation coefficients, such as Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau, have been studied at great length in the statistical literature, mostly under the assumption that $X$ and $Y$ are continuous. In the case of a dichotomous outcome $Y$, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and the asymmetric area under the ROC curve (AUC) measure are used to assess monotone dependence of $Y$ on a predictor $X$. In this talk I demonstrate that the two thus far disconnected strands of literature can be unified and bridged, by developing common population level theory, common estimators, and common tests that apply to all types of linearly ordered outcomes. In a case study, we assess recent progress in artificial intelligence based weather prediction (AIWP) versus traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP). The talk is based on joint work with Eva-Maria Walz and Andreas Eberl. Il seminario sarà accessibile online: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… https://cassyni.com/events/UEGpAYwVEdDSxoqc3JkK57?0kaaw Per seguire il seminario in streaming, è necessario iscriversi (gratuitamente) sulla piattaforma Cassyni.

Seminar by Prof. Frank den Hollander at IMT Lucca | March 4, 2026
by Anna Gallo 28 Feb '26

28 Feb '26

Dear all, On behalf of Prof. Diego Garlaschelli, I am pleased to announce that next week *Professor Frank den Hollander* will visit IMT Lucca and give a seminar entitled *The Friendship Paradox for Social Networks* (see abstract below). The seminar will take place on: *March 4, 2026 – 3:00 PM* San Francesco Complex – Sagrestia IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca Join online at: imt.lu/sagrestia . All the best, Anna ------------------------------ *Abstract: *Consider a group of individuals who form a social network. For each individual in the group compute its friendship-bias, i.e., the difference between the average number of friends of its friends and the number of its friends (all friendships are mutual), and average these numbers over all the individuals in the group. It turns out that the latter average is always non-negative, and is strictly positive as soon as not all individuals have exactly the same number of friends. This fact, which at first glance seems counterintuitive, goes under the name of friendship paradox. In this talk we model the social network as a graph and explain where the friendship paradox comes from. For sequences of random graphs that converge locally in an appropriate sense, we quantify the friendship paradox by identifying the limit of the empirical distribution of the friendship-biases of all the individuals. For two examples of random graphs, we work out the properties of this limit in detail. We further discuss variants of the model where we look at the number of friends at deeper levels and at quantities other than the number of friends. We close by offering an outlook on future challenges.

SPASS seminars: G. Cipolloni and R. Fukuizumi - Tue 3 Mar
by Elia Bisi 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following two SPASS seminars (joint organised by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi) on Tuesday 3rd March: 14.00-15.00: Logarithmically correlated fields from large random matrices (Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica, Università di Firenze) by Giorgio Cipolloni (Tor Vergata). 15.00-16.00: Phi^4_d model associated with the harmonic oscillator (Aula Riunioni ex-DMA, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa) by Reika Fukuizumi (Waseda University, Japan). Both talks will be also streamed online here: meet.google.com/ydw-gsjr-vza On behalf of the organisers, Elia Bisi ------------------- Abstract (Cipolloni): We study the Brownian evolution of large non-Hermitian matrices and show that their log-determinant converges to a 2+1 dimensional Gaussian field in the Edwards-Wilkinson regularity class, i.e. logarithmically correlated for the parabolic distance. This gives a dynamical extension of the celebrated result by Rider and Virag (2006) proving that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of Gaussian non-Hermitian matrices converge to the Gaussian Free Field. ------------------- Abstract (Fukuizumi): We present recent developments in the mathematical study of the stochastic Gross–Pitaevskii equation, as a mathematical model for Bose–Einstein condensates subject to thermal fluctuations, such as those occurring near the critical temperature of condensation. In this regime, interactions between the condensate and the surrounding thermal cloud of non-condensed atoms must be incorporated in a way consistent with the fluctuation–dissipation principle, ensuring relaxation toward the correct physical equilibrium. The damping and noise terms are precisely balanced so that the dynamics formally admits a Gibbs measure associated with the Gross–Pitaevskii Hamiltonian as an invariant measure. This talk, which will be on the existence of the local / global solution, construction of the Gibbs measure, and long time behaviors, is a summary of several collaborative works with A. de Bouard, A. Debussche, A. Deya, T. Iwabuchi, L. Thomann. ————————— Elia Bisi Assistant Professor (RTT) University of Florence Department of Mathematics & Computer Science Personal homepage Florence Probability group

Deep generative forecasting models (DGFMs) have shown excellent performance in these areas, but assimilating data into such models is challenging due to their intractable likelihood functions. This limitation restricts the use of standard Bayesian data assimilation methodologies for DGFMs. To overcome this, we introduce prequential posteriors, based upon a predictive-sequential (prequential) loss function; an approach naturally suited for temporally dependent data which is the focus of forecasting tasks. Since the true data-generating process often lies outside the assumed model class, we adopt an alternative notion of consistency and prove that, under mild conditions, both the prequential loss minimizer and the prequential posterior concentrate around parameters with optimal predictive performance. For scalable inference, we employ easily parallelizable wastefree sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers with preconditioned gradient-based kernels, enabling efficient exploration of high-dimensional parameter spaces such as those in DGFMs. We validate our method on both a synthetic multi-dimensional time series and a real-world meteorological dataset; highlighting its practical utility for data assimilation for complex dynamical systems. *Keywords*: diffusion models, simulation based inference, sequential methods. *Reference*: S.

Simone Padoan in Venice, Seminar at Ca' Foscari University of Venice - 2 March 2026
by Roberto CASARIN 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Dear Colleagues, Prof. Simone Padoan from Bocconi University will give the seminar *Accurate Bayesian inference for tail risk extrapolation in time series* Monday, 2 March, at 12:15 CET in Meeting Room 1, by the Department of Economics, San Giobbe Campus, Ca' Foscari University of Venice. All the interested people are warmly invited to attend in person or online! Best regards Roberto Casarin It will also be possible to attend on Zoom here: https://unive.zoom.us/j/83496270992?pwd=Oy3eumWCbEZweVbK6aasre418l043U.1 More information available here: https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/109019 Title Accurate Bayesian inference for tail risk extrapolation in time series Abstract Temporal dependence is common in many applications, from financial time series to those in climate science, and it affects the behavior of extremes by inducing clustering. As a result, time series data contain less effective information than independent samples, leading to greater uncertainty in extreme value analysis. In this work, we study the Peaks-Over-Threshold (POT) framework, the most widely used method for modeling and estimating univariate extremes, within (strictly) stationary time series under weak mixing conditions. We propose a Bayesian inferential procedure based on the Generalized Pareto (GP) model, specifically tailored to time series settings, which enables extrapolation of both marginal (pertaining to the stationary distribution) and dynamic (conditional on the past) tail risks. We investigate the theoretical accuracy guarantees for our approach and to do so we derived some global properties of the underlying likelihood that had not been previously analyzed. Extensive simulations and real-data applications demonstrate the good inferential performance and practical relevance of the proposed methodology. -- Roberto Casarin, PhD Professor of Econometrics Ca' Foscari University of Venice San Giobbe 873/b - 30121 Venezia, Italy http://sites.google.com/view/robertocasarin/ https://www.unive.it/vera <https://www.unive.it/isba2024>

Seminar Löcherbach at Tor Vergata, March 2
by Michele Salvi 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Dear all, On Monday, March 2nd, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Eva Löcherbach (Université Paris 1 - Panthéon-Sorbonne) with the seminar “Conditional propagation of chaos for mean field systems of interacting neurons” Abstract: Joint work with Dasha Loukianova and Elisa Marini We consider a system of N interacting particles, described by SDEs driven by Poisson random measures, where the coefficients depend on the empirical measure of the system. Every particle jumps with a jump rate depending on its position. When this happens, all the other particles of the system receive a small random kick which is distributed according to a random variable belonging to the domain of attraction of an alpha-stable law, suitably scaled, for some alpha in between 0 and 2. We call these jumps ''collateral jumps''. Moreover, the jumping particle itself undergoes a macroscopic, ''main'' jump. Such systems appear in the modeling of large neural networks, such as the human brain. I will discuss how the system behaves in the large population limit, and how this limiting behavior depends on the value of alpha. In particular, using a representation of the collateral jump sum as a time-changed random walk, I will explain how we obtain convergence in law, in Skorokhod space, of the system to a limit infinite-exchangeable system of SDEs driven by a common stable process (or a common Brownian motion) which arises due to the central limit theorem and constitutes a common noise term in the dynamics of all the limit particles. Finally, I will discuss how this is related to the property of ''conditional propagation of chaos’'. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Rajarshi Guhaniyogi and Sharmistha Guha Seminars at Ca' Foscari University of Venice - 4 March 2026

Dear Colleagues, I'm pleased to invite you to the Department Seminars, which will be held on Wednesday, 4th of March, 10:00-12.30 CET, in Meeting Room 1 with the following schedule: - 10:00-11:00 CET: Rajarshi Guhaniyogi (Texas A&M University), *Bridging Statistical, Scientific and Artificial Intelligence: Trustworthy Deep Neural Networks for Complex Structured Data* - 11.30- 12.30 CET: Sharmistha Guha (Texas A&M University), *Neural Network Gaussian Processes for Multiplex Networks: Joint Modeling of Dynamics and Attributes under Partial Observation* All the interested people are warmly invited to attend in person or online! Best regards Roberto Casarin (and on behalf of the Organizing Committee) More information available here: Link Zoom: bit.ly/insem-2425 ID: 880 2639 9452 Passcode: InSem-2425 https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/110469 https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/110466 Title: Bridging Statistical, Scientific and Artificial Intelligence: Trustworthy Deep Neural Networks for Complex Structured Data Abstract: The explosive expansion of large, structured datasets is radically transforming the landscape of statistical inference, unlocking unprecedented possibilities while simultaneously introducing formidable challenges. Although hierarchical Bayesian methods offer a gold standard for principled inference and rigorous uncertainty quantification, they falter in terms of scalability when confronted with the high dimensionality and sheer scale of modern data. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have made remarkable strides on the scalability front, yet their use in the literature remains largely as opaque, black-box that are ill-suited for inference, particularly with structured data. To overcome these barriers, we introduce DNN-based generative models, precisely engineered for two complex and impactful domains: (i) functional output regression with functional and network-valued inputs, and (ii) functional factor modeling for multivariate functional datasets. Our framework leverages the connection between variational deep Gaussian processes and DNNs, delivering transparent and interpretable inference via well-calibrated uncertainty quantification, and achieving rapid, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-free optimization for high-resolution, large-sample scenarios. We reveal how Bayesian nonparametric principles and cutting-edge deep learning can be seamlessly unified, positioning deep Gaussian process priors at the forefront for scalable generative modeling of object-valued data. Demonstrating the framework’s practical strength, we showcase compelling real-world applications, including image-on-image regression and large-scale remote sensing for the carbon-water cycle. This work is in collaboration with the postdoctoral scholar Dr. Yeseul Jeon, as well as scientists from the UC San Francisco Medical School. Title: Neural Network Gaussian Processes for Multiplex Networks: Joint Modeling of Dynamics and Attributes under Partial Observation Abstract: Terrorism networks are dynamic, multiplex, and often partially observed, demanding uncertainty-aware inference. This talk presents Dynamic Joint Learner, a Bayesian framework that jointly models the co-evolution of multiplex layers and node attributes using shared, time-varying latent factors. These latent trajectories are governed by neural network Gaussian processes, combining deep-network expressiveness with principled uncertainty propagation. The method supports predictive inference on hidden links, evolving organizational attributes (size, ideology, leadership, operational capacity), and emergent communities, including friend-foe structures. Simulation studies and an application to interactions among prominent terrorist organizations show improved performance over existing approaches for link prediction, attribute forecasting, and clustering, with calibrated uncertainty. The framework offers a practical toolkit for analysts working with partially observed, co-evolving networks and is broadly applicable beyond counter-terrorism. -- Roberto Casarin, PhD Professor of Econometrics Ca' Foscari University of Venice San Giobbe 873/b - 30121 Venezia, Italy http://sites.google.com/view/robertocasarin/ https://www.unive.it/vera <https://www.unive.it/isba2024>

[STAR Seminars] Wed Feb 25 - Yi Feng
by Leonardo Tarquini 18 Feb '26

18 Feb '26

Dear all, Join us for our upcoming talk in the STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/projects/storm/events/seminars/…> series on Wednesday, February 25th, from 11:00 to 12:00 (Oslo time). As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/61698784374>. The speaker is Yi Feng (Aarhus University) with the talk: Title: Continuous-Time Analysis of Heavy Ball Momentum in Min-Max Games Abstract: Since Polyak's pioneering work, heavy ball momentum has been widely studied in minimization problems. However, its role in min-max games remains largely unexplored. As a key component of practical min-max algorithms like Adam, this gap limits their eﬀectiveness. In this talk, I will present a continuous-time analysis for heavy ball momentum in min-max games. I will focus on two aspects: convergence to equilibrium and implicit gradient regularization, which describe how momentum shapes the interaction between algorithmic trajectories and the geometry of the min-max loss landscape. We will see that the behavior of heavy ball momentum in min-max games is significantly diﬀerent from that in minimization. Bio: Yi Feng is a Postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University. His research focuses on understanding the learning dynamics in games and their applications in machine learning. His research is supported by a Danish Data Science Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship. This seminar is jointly organised in collaboration with Trung Tuyen Truong<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/people/aca/tuyentt/> from the Several Complex Variables, Logic and Operator algebras group<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/?vrtx=unit-view&areacode=151365> at UiO.

SPASS seminar: Tianyi Li

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Generative Diffusion Models for Lagrangian Turbulence* by *Tianyi Li* (Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata) The seminar will take place on *Tuesday, 24.02.2026* at *14:00 CET* in Saletta Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/stc-xonf-yrx>. Best regards Mario Maurelli https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> --------------------------------------- *Title: Generative Diffusion Models for Lagrangian Turbulence* *Abstract: Lagrangian turbulence plays a central role in transport and dispersion, yet modeling the intermittent and non-Gaussian nature of particle trajectories remains a major challenge. In this talk, we present a generative framework based on diffusion models to learn and sample the probability distribution of turbulent particle motion directly from data. The model generates single-particle trajectories in three-dimensional turbulence at high Reynolds numbers and reproduces key statistical properties across scales, including heavy-tailed velocity increments, anomalous scaling, and intermittency near the dissipative range. We further extend the approach to inertial particles (tracers, heavy, and light) and to the probabilistic reconstruction of missing velocity data along trajectories, with applications to real ocean drifter observations. In all cases, the generated signals retain realistic scale-dependent and non-Gaussian features. These results suggest diffusion models as a new probabilistic tool for studying and reconstructing Lagrangian turbulence.

Seminar: Leonardo Maini - Mon 23 Feb at Milano-Bicocca
by Maurizia Rossi 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

Dear all, It is a pleasure to announce the following probability seminar Speaker:* Leonardo Maini* *(Univ. Roma Tor Vergata)* Date and place: *Monday** 23 February 2.30pm-3:30 pm -- **ATLAS building, room* *U1-04*, *Univ. Milano-Bicocca* (Piazza della Scienza 1, Milano) . Title: *Non-universal fluctuations for functionals of random neural networks* Abstract: We establish central and non-central limit theorems for sequences of functionals of the limiting Gaussian output of random neural networks on the sphere. We show that the asymptotic behaviour is determined by the fixed points of the covariance kernel and leads to three possible regimes: convergence to the same functional evaluated at a limiting Gaussian field, convergence to a Gaussian distribution, or convergence to a spherical Rosenblatt/Hermite-type distribution. More generally, we show that the transition between these behaviours is governed by the uniforme order of integrability (up to controlled errors) of the renormalized covariance function. This mechanism is closely related to what happens for Gaussian fields with regularly varying covariances at infinity in the Euclidean setting, and reveals an analogous structure on the sphere. Based on a joint work with S. Di Lillo and D. Marinucci.

Seminario Gianmarco Del Sarto 19/02 - Luiss
by Marta Leocata 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo che giovedì 19 Febbraio alle ore 12, presso l’aula seminari 304b della sede LUISS di viale Romania 32, Gianmarco Del Sarto (TU Darmstadt ) terrà un seminario dal seguente titolo e abstract: Title: Beyond warming: how greenhouse gases emissions can amplify polar temperature fluctuations Abstract: Climate change affects not only average temperatures but also their variability. Using a simple energy-balance model for the Arctic, we explain why temperature fluctuations can increase as radiative forcing (linked to CO_2) rises. Fast random variations in incoming solar energy represent weather, while temperature evolves more slowly. Because sea ice makes sunlight absorption strongly temperature-dependent, warming and ice loss make the system more sensitive to the same weather fluctuations. This yields a stochastic temperature equation and the key message: in the ice-affected regime, stronger forcing amplifies long-term temperature variance. This is a joint work with F. Flandoli and M. Lenzi. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Saluti, Marta Leocata

Coding Week in Crete (June 2026) – Hyperbolicity Meets Stochasticity
by Francesco Giuseppe Cordoni 16 Feb '26

16 Feb '26

Dear colleagues, I want to advertise a Coding Week that will take place in Crete, 21-26 June 2026 https://elenagaburro.it/sunhype2026.html The event is organized into six working groups, each led by a professor/researcher. The main theme of the week is hyperbolic equations. One of the proposed projects is titled "Hyperbolicity Meets Stochasticity." The project focuses on the development and implementation of numerical methods for stochastic hyperbolic conservation laws. The stochastic components are addressed using advanced Monte Carlo techniques, such as multilevel Monte Carlo. Participants are expected to have a background in numerical methods for hyperbolic problems, while only minimal prior knowledge of stochastic concepts is required (e.g., familiarity with normal distributions and expected values). A central focus of the project will be to investigate which discrete solutions of stochastic hyperbolic problems preserve key structural properties. The event is particularly aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers (up to 3–4 years after the PhD). There are currently still open spots in this group. If you know potential candidates who might be interested, I would be very grateful if you could share this opportunity. For further information or expressions of interest, please contact Prof. Elena Gaburro (University of Verona) at elena.gaburro(a)univr.it. Best regards, Francesco G. Cordoni - Ph.D. Associate professor -------------------------------------------------- Laboratory of Applied Mathematics Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering University of Trento Via Mesiano,77, 38123 Trento, ITALY e-mail: francesco.cordoni(a)unitn.it --------------------------------------------------

13 Feb '26

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (28 Novembre) alle 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Lucio Galeati (Università dell'Aquila) <https://sites.google.com/view/lucio-galeati-math/home> https://sites.google.com/view/lucio-galeati-math/home Title: Anomalous dissipation and anomalous regularization in the Kraichnan model of turbulence Date: November 28, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: In the 60s Kraichnan proposed a synthetic model for passive scalar turbulence, consisting of a scalar advected by a random Gaussian velocity field, white in time and -Holder continuous in space. Despite its simplicity, this SPDE displays anomalous dissipation of energy, spontaneous stochasticity and intermittency, which are also expected for more realistic turbulent fluids. At the same time, solutions to the inviscid SPDE are unique and can be recovered by vanishing viscosity and mollification schemes. In this talk I will present some recent further understandings on this model: i) solutions to the transport equation with initial data display anomalous regularisation and almost gain Sobolev regularity , but not better; ii) solutions to the continuity equation starting from Dirac deltas instantaneously gain Lebesgue integrability, due to the diffusive behaviour of Lagrangian particle splitting, and their variance at small times grows like . Based on joint works with M. Maurelli, F. Grotto, U. Pappalettera and T. Drivas. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

RETTIFICA - Avviso di Seminario Prof. Nicos Georgiou
by luigia.caputo 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Il giorno 11 Febbraio 2026, alle ore 11:30, in aula G, del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni R. Caccioppoli, il Prof. Nicos Georgiou, School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sussex, terrà il seguente seminario: Title: Mean-field limit and parameter estimation for contagion dynamics on higher-order structures. Abstract: Classical models of contagion epidemics have graph based representations where the nodes represent the population and infections occur from an infected individual to a susceptible individual via a network link between them. At the same time, healing mechanisms try to fight the epidemic at node level. The simple descriptions of these representations also underscore their limitations, since the propagation of contagions in complex systems often involves repeated or simultaneous stimuli that individuals receive from their social contacts (such as their work or household). One may mechanistically encode these non-linear effects into contagion models by considering interactions that go beyond simple pairwise connections, by using hypergraphs rather than graphs. In this talk we will see the role higher-order interactions can play in the behaviour of the model when a rigorous mean-field can be obtained. Furthermore, we will discuss some inference techniques for the parameters of the epidemic (rates of infection) when only partial information on the type of infection is available and with only a single realisation of the epidemic curve as a datum. Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche on line all'indirizzo: Seminario Prof. Nicos Georgiou | Partecipazione alla riunione | Microsoft Teams [1] Cordiali saluti, Luigia Caputo -- Luigia Caputo, PhD Ricercatore Universitario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II Via Cintia, 80126, NAPOLI https://www.docenti.unina.it/luigia.caputo Links: ------ [1] https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/31163119321676?p=0yg2ZqOMTtwT5EC1l7

The speaker is Rahma Yasmina Moulay Hachemi (University of Saida Dr. Moulay Tahar) with the talk: Title: The time-fractional stochastic heat equation driven by time-space white noise Abstract: We study the stochastic time-fractional stochastic heat equation: ∂α/∂tα Y(t, x) = λΔY (t, x) + σ W(t, x); (t, x) ∈ (0,∞) × Rd , (0.1), where d ∈ N = {1, 2, ...} and ∂α/∂tα is the Caputo derivative of order α ∈ (0, 2), and λ > 0 and σ ∈ R are given constants. We consider the equation in the sense of distribution, and we find an explicit expression for the S-valued solution Y (t, x), where S is the space of tempered distributions. Following the terminology of Y. Hu [1], we say that the solution is mild if Y (t, x) ∈ L2(P) for all t, x. It is well-known that in the classical case with α = 1, the solution is mild if and only if the space dimension d = 1. We prove that if α ∈ (1, 2) the solution is mild if d = 1 or d = 2. If α < 1 we prove that the solution is not mild for any d. [1] Hu, Yaozhong (2019): Some recent progress on stochastic heat equations.

Seminario Georgios Athanasopoulos, Martedì 10 Febbraio, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 05 Feb '26

05 Feb '26

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 10 Febbraio, ore 14:00,* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Georgios Athanasopoulos (Università Roma Tre) *Title:* Around the exact solutions of the 2D classical and 1D quantum Ising models. *Abstract:* I will review some recent developments about the 2D classical Ising model focusing on the method of Kac and Ward. In joint work with Daniel Ueltschi, we have extended this method to systems with negative coupling constants. As a consequence, we observe that the Cimasoni--Duminil-Copin--Li equation for the critical temperature, originally proved for general bi-periodic planar lattices with positive couplings, remains valid in a broader setting. Furthermore, I will discuss the possibility of extending this method to study the energy correlations for coupling constants of arbitrary sign. Finally, I will explain how this method can be used to rigorously compute the free energy of the 1D quantum Ising model. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Associate Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

SLMath SGS-1126 Mathematics for Machine Learning
by Domenico Marinucci 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Care colleghe e cari colleghi segnalo la scuola estiva di Mathematics for Machine Learning, che si terrà all'ICTP di Trieste dal 15 al 26 giugno 2026, sito web: https://indico.ictp.it/event/11148 Alcuni dettagli qui sotto: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lecturers: Francesca Mignacco (Princeton University) Andrea Montanari (Stanford University) Course by Andrea Montanari This summer school provides an introduction to theoretical ideas that have been developed with the objective of understanding machine learning methods and their domain of applicability. The focus will be on proof technique and general mathematical tools. 1.Empirical risk minimization and empirical process theory. Objective: Understand how learning is formalized in terms of generalization guarantees, and how the latter emerge from uniform control over suitably restricted function classes. a.Uniform convergence guarantees for learning b.Complexity bounds for neural networks c.Tools: Strong laws of large numbers, concentration of measure, Radamacher complexity. 2.Generalization in the linear regime. Objective: Understand how and when good generalization can be achieved while violating the (naive) assumptions of uniform convergence. In particular, characterize the generalization error of kernel and random features methods. a.Interpolation and benign overfitting b.Kernel methods c.Random features and neural tangent models d.Tools: Random matrix theory 3.Feature learning in large networks. Objective: Analysis of simple neural network models (two-layer network) outside the linear/neural tangent regime. a.Mean field theory b.Multi-index models c.Tools: Propagation of chaos, Wasserstein gradient flows. 4.Sampling and generative methods. Objective: Describe and justify mathematically architecture for generative models. Presents correctness guarantees, as well as limits in some simple settings. a.Autoregressive models, diffusion models, probability flows. b.Sampling guarantees under assumptions on the score estimation. c.Impossibility results. d.Tools: Stochastic localization, functional inequalities, computation-information gaps. Course by Francesca Mignacco The lectures will present an overview on the statistical physics approach to high-dimensional learning problems. The main concepts and methods from mean-field theory of disordered systems will be introduced through prototypical examples that are amenable to analytic characterization. More precisely, the course syllabus will be as follows: 1. Motivation and background. Objective: Introduce the statistical physics perspective on high-dimensional learning problems and the main concepts and settings covered throughout the course. (a) The jargon of statistical physics: thermodynamic limit, order parameters, typical-case scenario. (b) The perceptron. (c) The teacher-student paradigm. 2. Statics of learning. Objective: Understand the Bayes-learning framework and how to apply it to study the impact of data structure and architectural bias on the performance. (a) Generalization error in the perceptron: Bayes-optimal performance vs empirical risk minimization. Introduction to the replica method. (b) Memory capacity: from random points to neural manifolds. Applications to deep learning and neuroscience. (c) Models of data structure. (d) Deep linear networks and back-propagating kernel renormalization 3. Dynamics of learning. Objective: Understand how to derive effective low-dimensional descriptions of the learning dynamics and apply them to study commonly-used training algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent. (a) Online learning in two-layer neural networks. (b) Batch learning: dynamical mean-field theory, cavity method and path integral formulation. Participants: The school can be of interest for a very broad range of students basically from all areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics. Indeed, on one hand the topics of the school are specially addressed to those that are working in disciplines directly involved with Machine Learning (such as mathematical statistics, probability, information theory, numerical analysis, statistical mechanics); on the other hand, the lectures are developed starting from a limited requested background in these specific disciplines, so that students with good mathematical foundations in other areas could attend as well. Hence this school could provide the occasion for students with a different background to get into an exciting new area of research, either to find new connections at the theoretical level or to gain further skills which are on extremely high-demand at every level. The school may also be suitable for students who are not enrolled in a mathematical PhD but are working in related areas, such as statistics, computer science, engineering. Organizing committee: Claudio Arezzo (ICTP), Jean Barbier (ICTP), Filippo Bracci (Roma Tor Vergata and INdAM), Domenico Marinucci (Rome Tor Vergata and INdAM), Cristina Trombetti (Napoli Federico II and INdAM), ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/domenicomarinucci @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

SPASS seminar
by Francesco Grotto 02 Feb '26

02 Feb '26

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, *Current trends and challenges in atmospheric CO2 monitoring* by Carina Geldhauser (ETH) on Tuesday 3.2.2026 at 14:00 CET in Aula Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa. Best, F. Grotto on behalf of the organizers Abstract: In this era of rapid climate change, the precise monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions has become a critical task. We review current efforts to model the spatial propagation of CO2 concentration levels. We highlight the limitations of current results from isolated megacities for European setting: In Europe, the spatiotemporal distribution of CO2 is heavily influenced by atmospheric dynamics and terrestrial biospheric fluxes, hindering a succesful application of traditional modelling approaches. Hence, we prototyped the application of machine learning models to predict ground-level CO2 from satellite measurements. Our results show the effectiveness of integrating diverse data sources in capturing local emission patterns, highlighting the value of high-resolution atmospheric transport models.

RIASSUNTO: L’analisi stocastica, creata da Itô negli anni 40, ha dominato la teoria dei processi stocastici fino alla fine del XX secolo e oltre. Negli ultimi 25 anni una serie di nuove idee ha arricchito questa teoria e permesso dei progressi spettacolari, in particolare nello studio delle equazioni stocastiche alle derivate parziali. Le tecniche principali in questa area di ricerca sono i rough paths, il sewing lemma, le strutture di regolarità e le distribuzioni para-controllate. In questo seminario vogliamo presentare le idee principali di questo settore, in particolare la nozione di integrazione stocastica « pathwise », il teorema di ricostruzione e le espansioni di Taylor generalizzate.

SEMINAR: Ester Mariucci @Luiss - 12 feb
by Matteo Iacopini 30 Jan '26

30 Jan '26

Dear all, On Thursday, 12th February, at 12:00 in room A304b, the Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences of Luiss University of Rome will host a seminar by Ester Mariucci (Université Paris-Saclay) Title: "Understanding the Small Jumps of Lévy Processes: Approximations and Nonparametric Estimation” Abstract: There is a rich literature on approximations of the small jumps of a Lévy process, with a particular focus on Gaussian approximations. These approximations are often used to simplify analysis, but their validity depends critically on the observation scheme, in particular whether the data are collected at high or low frequency. In many situations, the Gaussian approximation may not be appropriate, and a more precise understanding of the law of small jumps is necessary. In this talk, we will discuss two complementary approaches. First, we explore approximations of the small jumps and provide quantitative control of their accuracy using distances such as the Wasserstein distance and total variation. Second, we investigate nonparametric density estimation of the small jumps based on discrete observations of a single trajectory. Estimating this density allows us to better understand the underlying distribution of small jumps. We present results for both low-frequency and high-frequency observation settings. In the low-frequency case, assuming that the Lévy density associated with large jumps is known, a spectral estimator exploiting the deconvolution structure achieves minimax parametric rates of convergence with respect to the integrated L2 loss, up to a logarithmic factor. In the high-frequency case, the assumption on the knowledge of the Lévy measure of large jumps can be relaxed; the rate of convergence then depends on the sampling scheme and on the behavior of the Lévy measure near zero, and is minimax up to a logarithmic factor. We also propose an adaptive penalized procedure to select the cutoff parameter. These results are further extended to include the case where a Brownian component is present. Finally, we illustrate our findings through extensive simulations. Anyone interested in attending is welcome; just email me for logistical purposes. Hoping to meet you there!

Dear all, On Monday, February 2nd, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Alberto Chiarini (Università di Padova) with the seminar "Fluctuations of the Simple Exclusion Process on Point Processes” Abstract: The simple exclusion process is one of the most prominent models of interacting particle systems. In this seminar, we consider a resistor network whose nodes are sampled according to a simple point process on R^d and are connected by certain conductances. On top of this resistor network, particles move according to random walks with the rule that there is at most one particle per site. Under soft assumptions on the point process measure and conductances, which include ergodicity, stationarity and certain moment conditions, it is known that the empirical density of particles converges for almost all realisation of the environment to the solution of an heat equation with a certain homogenised diffusivity. In this talk, we examine its equilibrium fluctuations. For d≥3, under the same assumptions that ensure the hydrodynamical limit, we show that the empirical density fluctuation field converges for almost all realisation of the environment, in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions, to a generalised Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. For d=2, if we require some additional regularity on the environment to have Hölder regularity estimates for solutions to parabolic problems, we can show that the same conclusion holds. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Open Ph.D. position at the University of Luxembourg
by Giovanni Peccati 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Dear Colleagues, The *Department of Mathematics* of the *University of Luxembourg* (*DMATH*) is seeking an excellent candidate for a *PhD position* in the area of *Mathematical Statistics*, with an expected starting date in *2026*. *-----------------------* *Supervisor:* Prof. *Yannick Baraud* (https://math.uni.lu/baraud/Home.html) *PhD topic:* *Classical Bayesian methods can be used to construct estimators with good statistical properties. For example, when the data are i.i.d. and come from a distribution belonging to a parameterised model with a suitable prior distribution, numerous studies show that the posterior distribution is concentrated around the parameter associated with the distribution of the data.* *Despite their popularity, these methods nevertheless have certain limitations. In particular, when the data-generating distribution does not belong to the family of distributions chosen as the model, the estimators obtained may be of poor quality, even when the model provides a good approximation of the truth. This situation can arise, for example, when the sample contains a few outliers due to measurement or transcription errors. More generally, it occurs when the statistical model is only a simplification of reality, which is often the case in practice. The statistical method is then said to suffer from a lack of robustness as it produces unstable estimators that are sensitive to small deviations from the assumed model.* *In this PhD proposal, we offer the opportunity to study a robust alternative to classical Bayesian methods. This is a recent approach, the main properties of which were established in [1] in the context of density estimation. The aim of this PhD proposal is to understand the mathematics behind these new techniques and to extend it beyond density estimation. * *A candidate for this position must have a strong background in analysis, probability and mathematical statistics as well as a taste for theory. * [1] Y. Baraud. From robust tests to Bayes-like posterior distributions. Probab.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar, by Claudio Macci on Friday 30 january 2026, starting at 11 am. Titles and abstract are below. With best regards, Enrico Priola ---- Friday 30 january 2026 at 11 am - Aula Beltrami, via Ferrata 5, Università di Pavia Link Zoom https://unipv-it.zoom.us/j/95012043373?pwd=VaSaGaIDZQnbVWixaqeDzI4uhY5H2I.1 ID riunione: 950 1204 3373 Codice d’accesso: 789010 Speaker: Claudio Macci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) TITLE Some recent large deviation results on random neural networks ABSTRACT In this talk, I consider random neural networks with Gaussian weights and biases. A well-known result (proved under various assumptions in several references) concerns the convergence in distribution of the network output, in the infinite-width limit, to a centered Gaussian process with i.i.d. components (with the depth $L$ kept fixed). I will present some large deviation results describing a collapse of the network output (which, as expected, converges to the zero vector) when it is multiplied by a scaling factor tending to zero; see [1], where moderate deviations are also studied. In the final part, I will briefly outline some results in a very recent work (see [2]) concerning the deep limit (that is, as $L\to\infty$) for a generic component of the Gaussian process mentioned above.

[STAR Seminars] Wed Jan 21 - Susanna Dehò
by Leonardo Tarquini 21 Jan '26

21 Jan '26

Dear all, Join us for our upcoming talk in the STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/projects/storm/events/seminars/…> series on Wednesday, January 21st, from 11:00 to 12:00 (Oslo time). As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/67027975721>. The speaker is Susanna Dehò (University of Milano "La Statale") with the talk: Title: Symmetries of SDEs: from invariance properties to integration by parts formulas Abstract: The study of symmetries in differential equations, pioneered by Sophus Lie, constitutes a fundamental geometric approach to understand the invariance properties governing a dynamical system. By identifying the groups of transformations that preserve the equation’s structure, this framework provides systematic tools for order reduction, the construction of exact solutions, and the simplification of complex problems. Although symmetry analysis stands as a classical pillar for deterministic differential equations (ODEs and PDEs), supported by extensive literature, its extension to Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) represents a relatively recent field of research. Recent literature has also highlighted significant connections with the symmetries of the associated Fokker-Planck or Kolmogorov equations. Furthermore, the application of Lie symmetry theory to SDEs enables the derivation of integration by parts formulas inspired by Bismut’s variational approach to Malliavin calculus, with notable applications to the analysis of the law and regularity of the processes, as well as to the development of a stochastic calculus of variations. In this talk, we will discuss various notions of symmetry for SDEs, highlighting their connections to established invariance properties of well-known stochastic models and the symmetries of Kolmogorov PDEs. We will analyze how a geometric approach, inspired by Lie’s deterministic framework, enables the development of powerful computational tools for symmetry calculation. Subsequently, we will demonstrate how applying this geometric theory allows for the constructive derivation of an integration by parts formula for SDEs, rooted in Bismut’s approach. Finally, we will show how this integration by parts formula acts as a generating identity for well-known probability formulas, and discuss its connections to Stein’s identities. This contribution is based on a joint work with F.C. De Vecchi, P. Morando and S. Ugolini. Susanna Dehò, Francesco C. De Vecchi, Paola Morando, and Stefania Ugolini. Random rotational invariance of integration by parts formulas within a Bismut-type approach. Journal of Mathematical Physics: in print, 2025. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Dear all, the first One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> of the year is quickly approaching! Our next speaker is Louis Sharrock<https://louissharrock.github.io/> <https://louissharrock.github.io/> (University College London) who will talk about "Sequential Neural Score Estimation: Likelihood-free inference with conditional score base diffusion models" on Thursday the 29th January at 11am UK time, with an abstract reported below. The talk will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team channel General | OWABI Seminar: One World Approximate Bayesian Inference Seminar | Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…>, at the link below Join: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/38899039621449?p=nCtiqu8zYnZNL2LGR8 Meeting ID: 388 990 396 214 49 Passcode: f3Dh22XL We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar, Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI seminar organisers Speaker: Louis Sharrock (University College London) Title: Sequential Neural Score Estimation: Likelihood-free inference with conditional score base diffusion models Abstract: We introduce Sequential Neural Posterior Score Estimation (SNPSE), a score-based method for Bayesian inference in simulator-based models. Our method, inspired by the remarkable success of score-based methods in generative modelling, leverages conditional score-based diffusion models to generate samples from the posterior distribution of interest. The model is trained using an objective function which directly estimates the score of the posterior. We embed the model into a sequential training procedure, which guides simulations using the current approximation of the posterior at the observation of interest, thereby reducing the simulation cost. We also introduce several alternative sequential approaches, and discuss their relative merits. We then validate our method, as well as its amortised, non-sequential, variant on several numerical examples, demonstrating comparable or superior performance to existing state-of-the-art methods such as Sequential Neural Posterior Estimation (SNPE). Keywords: diffusion models, simulation based inference, sequential methods. Reference: L. Sharrock, J. Simons, S. Liu, M.

Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Lorenzo Zambotti e Alberto Bonicelli (Sorbonne Université) TITOLO: La rivoluzione dell’analisi stocastica « pathwise ». RIASSUNTO: L’analisi stocastica, creata da Itô negli anni 40, ha dominato la teoria dei processi stocastici fino alla fine del XX secolo e oltre. Negli ultimi 25 anni una serie di nuove idee ha arricchito questa teoria e permesso dei progressi spettacolari, in particolare nello studio delle equazioni stocastiche alle derivate parziali. Le tecniche principali in questa area di ricerca sono i rough paths, il sewing lemma, le strutture di regolarità e le distribuzioni para-controllate. In questo seminario vogliamo presentare le idee principali di questo settore, in particolare la nozione di integrazione stocastica « pathwise », il teorema di ricostruzione e le espansioni di Taylor generalizzate.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminars, *Some results on the Kraichnan model* by Umberto Pappalettera (Universität Basel) on Tuesday 20.1.2026 at 14:00 CET in Aula Magna, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI. Online participants may join the seminar at https://meet.google.com/ajh-zrxc-wds Best, F. Butori on behalf of the organizers https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass ------------------- Abstract: We discuss a number of properties of ``turbulent'' solutions to the Kraichnan model constructed by Le Jan and Raimond in [Ann. Probab. 30(2): 826-873, 2002]. We cover the full range of compressibility ratios giving spontaneous stochasticity of particle trajectories. More specifically, we prove generic anomalous dissipation of the mean energy and fractional Sobolev regularity of solutions, for every square-integrable initial datum. The proof of the latter is obtained as a consequence of a new sharp regularity result for the degenerate parabolic PDE satisfied by the associated two-point self-correlation function, which is of independent interest.

ABS (Applied Bayesian Statistics) school on "Interpretable Bayesian Learning,for Physical and Engineering Sciences" in Como, Italy (July 6-10, 2026)
by Fabrizio Ruggeri 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

Dear all, We are glad to inform you that ABS26, the next Applied Bayesian Statistics school, running since 2004, will be held in the city of Como (Italy), along the Lake Como shoreline at the beautiful Villa del Grumello, on July 6-10, 2026. The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with Fondazione Alessandro Volta. The topic will be *Interpretable Bayesian Learning for Physical and Engineering Sciences.* The lecturer will be Prof. *Simon Mak *(Department of Statistical Science, Duke University), a leading expert in integrating domain knowledge (e.g., scientific theories, mechanistic models, guiding principles) as prior information for cost-efficient statistical inference, prediction, and decision-making., with the support of* Yen-Chun Liu* (Department of Statistical Science, Duke University), a brilliant PhD student of Prof. Mak, specializing in Bayesian optimization, Gaussian processes, and reinforcement learning. If interested, you can register on the school website: *https://abs26.imati.cnr.it/* We currently only accept payments by bank transfer, but credit cards will be accepted as soon as possible. As in the past, there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants on their work (past, present, and future) related to the school's topic. OUTLINE: This course investigates the rising topic of interpretable statistical learning, motivated by timely needs from modern scientific and engineering applications. For such applications, state-of-the-art machine learning methods often yield analyses that are uninterpretable to scientists, which greatly obfuscates scientific findings and decision-making. Interpretable Bayesian learning provides an elegant and effective solution by embedding scientific principles (e.g., boundary conditions, mechanistic equations) within its prior specification. In this course, we will cover a broad spectrum of interpretable Bayesian learning methods (with theory and algorithms), providing a cohesive roadmap for this recent and rapidly-evolving area of study. This will be complemented by practical case studies from ongoing projects in particle physics, mechanical engineering, and bioengineering. Emphasis will be made on novel directions for research in this promising area. Topics will cover * Fundamentals of Gaussian process (GP) surrogate modeling: prediction, parameter inference, experimental design * Decision-making with GP surrogates: Bayesian optimization, active learning, Bayesian inverse problems * Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods * Boundary-informed GP modeling * Shape-constrained (e.g., monotone, isotonic, convex) GP modeling * Mechanistic GP modeling * Physics-integrated neural networks, its Bayesian variants and recent developments * Dynamical system recovery: SINDy, Bayesian SINDy, and recent developments We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Como. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested.

Seminar by H. Vanneuville at Milano-Bicocca (Thu 22 Jan, 11:00, Room U9-05)
by Francesco Caravenna 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

I am pleased to announce the following seminar: Hugo Vanneuville (Université Grenoble Alpes) A new proof of exponential decay in percolation Thursday 22 January at 11:00 Room U9-05 (Building U9, Viale dell'Innovazione 10, Milan) An abstract follows below. All interested participants are welcome. Best regards, Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract. Bernoulli percolation of parameter p on Z^d is defined by keeping each edge of Z^d with probability p, independently of the other edges. The exponential decay theorem - proven in 1987 by Menshikov and independently by Aizenman and Barsky - can be stated as follows: If the cardinality of the cluster of 0 is a.s. finite at some parameter p, then it has an exponential moment at every parameter q<p. I like to state this theorem this way because it illustrates the fact that "decreasing p infinitesimally has a regularising effect on the clusters". The goal of this talk is to discuss this theorem and to propose a new proof. Contrary to the other proofs, we do not rely on differential inequalities but rather on stochastic comparisons. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- __________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://fcaraven.github.io/ __________________________________

Seminar Stecconi at Tor Vergata, January 19
by Michele Salvi 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

Dear all, On Monday, January 19th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Michele Stecconi (University of Luxembourg) with the seminar "Universal cancellations in Uniform Random Waves” Abstract: I will present the model of "Uniform Random Waves", obtained by dividing a Gaussian random wave by its L2-norm, on the sphere and other Riemannian manifolds. This choice has deep motivations, although the Gaussian case predominates in the existing literature. I will compare the analysis of these two classes of random fields, focusing on (Wiener) chaos decomposition of geometric functionals and on new surprising (Berry) cancellation phenomena that arise in the uniform setting. Based on the homonymous paper, with L. Gass, D. Marinucci, G. Peccati, F. Pistolato. We encourage in-person partecipation.

SPASS seminar: Ivan Kryven - Fri 23 Jan at 10.00
by Elia Bisi 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar (joint organised by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi): A Limit Theorem for the Total Progeny Distribution of Multitype Branching Processes by Ivan Kryven (Utrecht University). The seminar will take place in person on Friday 23rd January at 10:00 in Aula Tricerri, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Florence. It will be also streamed online here: https://meet.google.com/boc-aphg-bbk On behalf of the organisers, Elia Bisi ------------------- Abstract: Multitype branching processes model random trees whose vertices carry types, with each vertex producing offspring according to a type‑dependent multivariate distribution. In this talk, I will present a limit theorem describing the behavior of such processes in the noncritical regime. Specifically, we show that the relative frequencies of the different types in any finite realization converge to a deterministic vector, and that the distribution of the total progeny exhibits exponential decay. These results require only that all moments of the offspring distribution exist. The proof combines several analytic tools, including the Lagrange–Good and arborescent Lagrange inversion formulas, a measure‑tilting argument, and a local limit theorem. I will also discuss applications to models such as random graphs and multi‑component coagulation processes. Joint work with Jochem Hoogendijk and Rik Versendaal. ————————— Elia Bisi Assistant Professor (RTT) University of Florence Department of Mathematics & Computer Science Personal homepage Florence Probability group

Dr. Anna Gallo's seminar at University of Milano-Bicocca.
by Giorgio Rizzini 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar by Dr. Anna Gallo (IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca) on *Thursday, January 15th 2026,* starting at 11:00 in room 4057, the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan): *Rethinking balance theory: a probabilistic approach to the study of signed networks* *Abstract:* Networks provide a powerful language to model interacting systems by representing their units as nodes and the interactions between them as links. Interactions can be connotated in several ways, such as binary/weighted, undirected/directed, etc. In the present talk we focus on the positive/negative connotation- modelling trust/distrust, alliance/enmity, friendship/conflict, etc. - by considering the so-called signed networks. Rooted in balance theory, a psychological framework that has been proposed to model human relationships, the study of signed networks has found application in fields as different as biology, ecology, economics. Here we approach it from the perspective of statistical physics, by extending the framework of Exponential Random Graph Models to the class of binary, un/directed, signed networks and employing it to assess the significance of frustrated patterns in biological, economic and social networks. The degree of balance critically depends on i) the considered system and ii) the employed benchmark: while social networks align with balance theory - with heterogeneous null models supporting its strong version and homogeneous null models supporting its weak version, biological networks often exhibit a pronounced level of frustration. For what concerns binary, directed networks, instead, we explore the relationship between frustration and reciprocity and suggest an alternative interpretation of balance in the light of directionality. Finally, we investigate signed structures at the mesoscopic scale by evaluating the tendency of a configuration to be either `traditionally' or `relaxedly' balanced.

13 Jan '26

Dear all, Join us for our upcoming talk in the STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/projects/storm/events/seminars/…> series on Wednesday, January 14th, from 11:00 to 12:00 (Oslo time). As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/67027975721>. The speaker is Rahma Yasmina Moulay Hachemi (University of Saida Dr. Moulay Tahar) with the talk: Title: The stochastic heat inclusion with fractional time derivative driven by time-space Brownian white noise Abstract: We study a time-fractional stochastic heat inclusion driven by additive time-space Brownian noise given by: ∂^α/∂t^α Y (t, x) ∈ λ∆Y (t, x) + G(t, x, Y (t, x)) + σW (t, x); (t, x) ∈ (0, ∞) × R^d. Here d ∈ N = {1, 2, ...} is the space dimension, x ∈ R^d denotes a point in space, t ≥ 0 denotes the time. Here d ∈ N = {1, 2, ...} is the space dimension, x ∈ R^d denotes a point in space, t ≥ 0 denotes the time. The fractional time derivative is interpreted as the Caputo derivative of order α ∈ (0, 2). We show the following: a) If a solution exists, then it is a fixed point of a specific set-valued map. b) Conversely, any fixed point of this map is a solution of the heat inclusion. We are looking forward to seeing you! Best regards, Giulia, Leonardo and Pere

Romito on behalf of the organizers ------------------- Abstract: Recent findings demonstrate that when training neural networks using full-batch (deterministic) gradient descent with step size η, the largest eigenvalue λ of the Hessian consistently stabilizes around 2/η. These results are surprising and carry significant implications for convergence and generalization. This, however, is not the case for mini-batch optimization algorithms, limiting the broader applicability of the consequences of these findings. We show that mini-batch Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) trains in a different regime, which we term Edge of Stochastic Stability (EoSS). In this regime, what stabilizes at 2/η is Batch Sharpness: the expected directional curvature of mini-batch Hessians along their corresponding stochastic gradients. As a consequence, λ---which is generally smaller than Batch Sharpness---is suppressed, aligning with the long-standing empirical observation that smaller batches and larger step sizes favor flatter minima. We further discuss implications for mathematical modeling of SGD trajectories.

Seminari Filippo De Feo e Mattia Martini - Politecnico di Milano - 8 Gennaio 2026
by Luca Scarpa 07 Jan '26

07 Jan '26

Si ricordano i seguenti 2 seminari a tutti gli interessati. SEMINARIO 1: Giovedì 8 Gennaio 2026, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Filippo De Feo, Technische Universität Berlin. Title: Stochastic Optimal Control of Interacting Particle Systems in Hilbert Spaces and Applications in Economics. Abstract: Optimal control of interacting particles governed by stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces is an open area of research. Such systems naturally arise in formulations where each particle is modeled by stochastic partial differential equations, path-dependent stochastic differential equations (such as stochastic delay differential equations or stochastic Volterra integral equations), or partially observed stochastic systems. In this talk we present a limiting theory as the number of particles tends to infinity. We apply the developed theory to problems arising in economics where the particles are modeled by stochastic partial differential equations and stochastic delay differential equations. The talks is based on [F. de Feo, F. Gozzi, A. Swiech, L. Wessels, Stochastic Optimal Control of Interacting Particle Systems in Hilbert Spaces and Applications, arXiv preprint arXiv:2511.21646] Link Zoom: https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92373976166?pwd=pvQAMGRkAnZ6WLaEXawDkGmbxa61VV.1 Link Seminario Polimi: https://www.mate.polimi.it/eventi/?id=2663&sezione_di_ricerca=probstat&stri… SEMINARIO 2: Giovedì 8 Gennaio 2026, ore 11:45. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Mattia Martini, École polytechnique, Centre de Mathématiques Appliquées, Palaiseau. Title: Regularisation in mean field models via infinite dimensional diffusion. Abstract: This talk aims to show how randomizing the dynamics in mean field models can help regularize the associated partial differential equations on the space of probability measures. A key challenge in this approach lies in constructing a suitable notion of noise on the space of probability measures. To this end, we rely on the Dirichlet–Ferguson diffusion process, as studied by Dello Schiavo [AOP 22]. We first examine the effect of this noise on a system of uncontrolled interacting particles and show that it induces a regularizing effect at the level of the corresponding backward Kolmogorov equation. We then analyze a mean field control problem driven by this noise and prove that the associated Hamilton–Jacobi equation admits a unique solution in an appropriate functional space, even when the coefficients have limited regularity. The talk is based on a joint work with F. Delarue (Nice) and G. Sodini (Vienna).

seminario Felix Liebrich in Bicocca
by Fabio Bellini 07 Jan '26

07 Jan '26

Il giorno lunedì 12 gennaio alle ore 17 presso la aula seminari 4096 al quarto piano dell'edificio U7 della Università di Milano-Bicocca, il dott. Felix-Benedikt Liebrich della Università di Amsterdam terrà un seminario dal titolo Lambda-quantiles: A closer look at the new kid on the block Abstract: Lambda-VaR has initially been suggested by Frittelli et al. (2014) as a generalisation of classical Value-at-Risk. Recent years have seen a surge in work on these functionals (or slightly more generally: on Lambda-quantiles), both in financial and insurance applications and from a decision-theoretic perspective. This talk focuses on Lambda-quantiles of univariate probability distributions which generalise classical quantiles by replacing the defining constant threshold in the unit interval with a function Lambda mapping the real line to the unit interval. Working under minimal assumptions, we analyse how the choice of Lambda determines mathematical properties of the resulting functional. In particular, we examine aggregation behaviour, continuity, identifiability of the functional parameter Lambda, and the preservation of finer properties of classical quantiles such as ordinal covariance. We conclude by discussing interpretational issues in financial applications. Based on joint work with Fabio Bellini. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario Daniela Witten presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 07 Jan '26

07 Jan '26

Si avvisa che domani, 08/01/2026, alle ore 14:30 presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri, nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Daniela Witten Università di Washington Titolo: Data thinning and beyond Abstract: Contemporary data analysis pipelines often involve the use and reuse of data. For instance, a scientist may explore a dataset to select an interesting hypothesis, and then wish to test this hypothesis with the same data. From a statistical perspective, this double use of data is highly problematic: it induces dependence between the hypothesis generation and testing stages, which complicates inference. Failure to account for this dependence renders classical inference techniques invalid. I will present "data thinning", a set of strategies for obtaining independent training and test sets so that the former can be used to select a hypothesis, and the latter to test it. Data thinning enables valid selective inference in settings for which no solutions were previously available. However, it is also restrictive, in the sense that it requires strong distributional assumptions. Therefore, I will also present strategies inspired by data thinning that enable valid post-selection inference without such assumptions. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente indirizzo https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Next POPS talk 17.12.: Giulia Sebastiani "From Parisi to Boltzmann: via GREM and TAP"
by Jonas Köppl 15 Dec '25

15 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, The year is coming to an end and we are excited to announce that our next and final speaker of the year will be Giulia Sebastiani (Universität Bonn) who will be speaking about From Parisi to Boltzmann: via GREM and TAP. on December 17, at 13:30 GMT / 14:30 CET / 15:30 EET, on Teams broadcast with the following link: Link to join teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_N2Q2NGY2NDEtYWVmNS00…> The talk is scheduled for one hour, allowing time for questions. Additionally, we'll be remaining on the call for a chat afterwards if you'd like to join us. We are looking forward to seeing you. Speaker: Giulia Sebastiani Title: From Parisi to Boltzmann: via GREM and TAP Abstract: Introduced by Derrida in the 80s, the Generalized Random Energy Models (GREM) serve as simplified, abstract models that are completely solvable and have significantly contributed to our comprehension of specific facets within the Parisi theory for mean-field spin glasses. In this talk, after an overview of Parisi’s ultrametric principle for the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model, we will turn to the alternative approach due to Thouless, Anderson, and Palmer (TAP). The TAP approach provides a representation of the SK free energy as the maximum of a random functional over local magnetizations. A simple reformulation reveals that, when evaluated at its critical points, the TAP free energy becomes a nonlinear functional of empirical measures constructed from local fields. Motivated by this structure, we construct abstract GREM-like models whose Hamiltonians are nonlinear functionals of empirical measures associated with GREM-like variables. For the thermodynamic free energy of these abstract models, dual Parisi-like formulas hold and turn out to be finite-dimensional “collapsed” versions of the underlying infinite-dimensional Gibbs-Boltzmann principles. Crucially, the nonlinearity inherited from the TAP representation generates a correction term (absent in canonical GREM-like models) that substantially reduces the gap between the free energies of such abstract hierarchical models and Parisi’s solution for the SK. Based on joint work with Nicola Kistler and Marius Alexander Schmidt. You can find more information about the talk on our website Postgraduate Online Probability Seminars (pg-prob-sem.github.io)<https://pg-prob-sem.github.io/>. Warm regards, The POPS Team This talk will be broadcast on December 17, at 13:30 GMT / 14:30 CET / 15:30 EET on MS Teams only. Meeting ID: 393 527 089 878 Passcode: dsm7py

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 19/12/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ———————————————————————— 10.00-11.00 Speaker: Alejandra Avalos-Pacheco (JKU Linz) Title: Fast Integrative Factor Models: Applications from Nutritional Epidemiology to Cancer Genomics Abstract: Data-integration of multiple studies can be key to understand and gain knowledge in statistical research. However, such data present artifactual sources of variation, also known as covariate effects. Covariate effects can be complex, leading to systematic biases, that if not corrected could lead to unreliable inference. In this talk I will present novel sparse latent factor regression (FR) and multi-study factor regression (MSFR) models to integrate such heterogeneous data. The FR model provide a tool for data exploration via dimensionality reduction and sparse low-rank covariance estimation while correcting for a range of covariate effects. MSFR are extensions of FR that enable us to jointly obtain a covariance structure that models the group-specific covariances in addition to the common component. I will discuss the use of several sparse priors (local and non-local) to learn the dimension of the latent factors. Our approaches provide a flexible methodology for sparse factor regression which is not limited to data with covariate effects. Our models are fitted leveraging novel scalable EM and ECM algorithms as well as Variational Inference methods. I will present several examples, with a focus on bioinformatics applications. We show the usefulness of our methods in two main tasks: as an unsupervised dimension reduction task to give a visual representation of the latent factors of the data; and as a supervised tool to: (i) provide survival predictions leveraging the obtained factors, or (ii) obtain dietary patterns, associating each factor with a measure of overall diet quality related to cardiometabolic disease risk. ———————————————————————— Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 17/12/2025* 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.

by Dario Trevisan 12 Dec '25

12 Dec '25

Dear all, we would like to announce the following seminar of our SPASS series (details below). With best regards, Dario Trevisan ---- Tuesday December 16th 2025 at 11:00 CET Saletta Riunioni Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa Speaker: Andrei Volodin (University of Regina) Title: On the Negatively Mixed Distributions Abstract: The negatively mixed distributions will be derived by the usage negative weights instead of positive. In this talk we construct the negatively mixed distribution and derives its properties, including the cumulative distribution function, raw moment, moment generating function, and characteristic function. Furthermore, we provide special case, the negatively mixed exponential distribution and its properties afterwards. We also propose the parameter estimation based on the method of moments and the maximum likelihood methods. The performance of estimators was studied through the Monte Carlo simulations. Moreover, a dataset is analyzed to show how the proposed model and method works in practice. -- Professor of Probability and Statistics Coordinator for Internationalization Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa https://web.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Seminario su "Random flights and anomalous diffusion: A non-Markovian take on Lorentz processes"
by Enrico Scalas 12 Dec '25

12 Dec '25

Buongiorno, vi segnalo un seminario che può essere di interesse. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas -- Seminari di Fisica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" Università di Roma La Sapienza mercoledì 17 dicembre, ore 16:00, aula E Lorenzo Facciaroni (Sapienza Università di Roma) Random Flights and Anomalous Diffusion: A non-Markovian Take on Lorentz Processes Abstract. We study Lorentz processes in two different settings. Both cases are characterized by infinite expectation of the free-flight times, contrary to what happens in the classical Gallavotti-Spohn models. Under a suitable Boltzmann-Grad type scaling limit, they converge to non-Markovian random-flight processes. A further scaling limit yields another non-Markovian process, i.e., a superdiffusion obtained by a suitable time-change of Brownian motion. Furthermore, we obtain the governing equations for our random flights and anomalous diffusion, which represent a non-local counterpart for the linear-Boltzmann and diffusion equations. It turns out that these have the form of fractional kinetic equations in both time and space. To prove such results, we develop a technique based on averaging Feller semigroups. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. --

Seminario Marco Bagnara - Politecnico di Milano - 15 Dicembre 2025
by Luca Scarpa 05 Dec '25

05 Dec '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Lunedì 15 Dicembre 2025, ore 16:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Marco Bagnara, Imperial College London. Title: Anomalous Regularization in Kazantsev-Kraichnan Model. Abstract: We investigate a passive vector field which is transported and stretched by a divergence-free Gaussian velocity field, delta-correlated in time and poorly correlated in space (spatially nonsmooth). Although the advection of a scalar field (Kraichnan's passive scalar model) is known to enjoy regularizing properties, the potentially competing stretching term in vector advection may induce singularity formation. We establish that the regularization effect is actually retained in certain regimes. While this is true in any dimension $d\ge 3$, it notably implies a regularization result for linearized 3D Euler equations with stochastic modeling of turbulent velocities, and for the induction equation in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The presentation is based on a joint work with Francesco Grotto and Mario Maurelli.

SPASS seminars: Macci and Torrisi - Dec 10th
by Dario Trevisan 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following two**SPASS seminars, by Claudio Macci and Giovanni Torrisi, on Wednesday December 10th 2025, starting at 4PM. A link for online participants will be shared on the website https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass Titles and abstract are below. With best regards, Dario Trevisan ---- Wednesday December 10th 2025 at 17:00 CET - Aula Fib N1 (Polo Fibonacci B, Università di Pisa) Speaker:/Claudio Macci/ (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) Title:*Some recent large deviation results on random neural networks * Abstract: In this talk, I consider random neural networks with Gaussian weights and biases. A well-known result (proved under various assumptions in several references) concerns the convergence in distribution of the network output, in the infinite-width limit, to a centered Gaussian process with i.i.d. components (with the depth $L$ kept fixed). I will present some large deviation results describing a collapse of the network output (which, as expected, converges to the zero vector) with a multiplicative scaling tending to zero; see [1], where moderate deviations are also studied. In the final part, I will outline some results (currently in preparation, see [2]) on the deep limit (that is, as $L\to\infty$) for a generic component of the Gaussian process mentioned above.

Wednesday December 10th 2025 at 17:00 CET - Aula Fib N1 (Polo Fibonacci B, Università di Pisa) Speaker: /Giovanni Luca Torrisi /(CNR - IAC) Title:*Posterior Bayesian Neural Networks with Dependent and Heavy-Tailed Weights* Abstract: We consider fully connected and feedforward deep neural networks with dependent and possibly heavy-tailed weights. These networks have been introduced to alleviate the drawbacks due to a Gaussian initialization. In a Bayesian framework, when the likelihood is Gaussian, we identify the posterior distribution of the output in the sequential wide-width limit and, in the shallow case, we compute explicitly the posterior distribution of these models. The talk is based on a joint work with Nicola Apollonio and Giovanni Franzina. -- Professor of Probability and Statistics Coordinator for Internationalization Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa https://web.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/
