SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Giovedi 11 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Matteo Sesia* (University of Southern California) Title: *Testing for outliers with conformal p-values* Abstract: This talk discusses the construction of provably valid frequentist p-values for nonparametric outlier detection, taking a multiple-testing perspective. The goal is to test whether new independent samples belong to the same distribution as a reference data set or are outliers. We study a solution based on conformal inference, a broadly applicable framework which yields p-values that are marginally valid in finite samples but are mutually dependent for different test points. We prove these p-values are positively dependent and enable exact false discovery rate control, although in a relatively weak marginal sense. We then introduce a new method to compute p-values that are both valid conditionally on the training data and independent of each other for different test points; this paves the way to stronger type-I error guarantees. Finally, we discuss how to further boost power by leveraging a separate data set of known outliers with an approach inspired by weighted hypothesis testing. The practical relevance of our results is demonstrated by numerical experiments on real and simulated data. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88278987175?pwd=NXhNM3dYd1hrT0JMT2p1N2syU1J2dz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Webinar Prisma 8 maggio Beghin-Cammarota
by Claudia Ceci 06 May '23

06 May '23

Buongiorno a tutt* ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 8 maggio 2023* *ore 16-17 Luisa Beghin * *Title*: Non-local differential operators in probability *Abstract* The study of nonlocal differential operators is an active field of research in pure and applied mathematics and has been drawing increasing attention over the last few years. Fractional-order operators (i.e. integrals and derivatives of non-integer order) are maybe the most famous and studied in the literature. Their origin goes back to the end of the seventeenth century, but only recently they have been applied to a variety of fields ranging from biology to engineering, probability theory, physics, image processing among others. In this talk, we will concentrate our attention on the stochastic applications of non-local operators, in particular in the theory of anomalous diffusions and renewal processes. *ore 17-18 Valentina Cammarota* *Title*: On the Correlation of Critical Points and Angular Trispectrum for Random Spherical Harmonics. *Abstract* We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the Critical Points of Random Spherical Harmonics, in the High-Energy Limit. The result is a consequence of a deeper characterizations of the total number of critical points, which are shown to be asymptotically fully correlated with the sample trispectrum, i.e., the integral of the fourth Hermite polynomial evaluated on the eigenfunctions themselves. As a consequence, the total number of critical points and the nodal length are fully correlated for random spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit.

Seminario Veronica Berrocal presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 05 May '23

05 May '23

Si avvisa che in data 05-05-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX con il patrocinio di GRASPA https://graspa.org si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Veronica Berrocal, University of California, Irvine Titolo: Bayesian non-stationary spatial modeling via domain partitioning, with application to soil organic carbon Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) or the carbon found in soil’s organic matter is an important component in the Earth’s carbon cycle and can help mitigate the negative consequences of climate change. Because of its broad relevance to climate and agriculture, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommended that the spatial distribution of SOC be carefully monitored. Due to time and cost constraints, spatially-referenced measurements of SOC or “stocks”, e.g. the amount of SOC in a volume, are available only at limited locations. In this talk I will present two Bayesian non-stationary statistical models for SOC with the goal of understanding spatial variability and dependence in SOC for sampling and spatial prediction of SOC. Both approaches model SOC by assuming that the process is globally non-stationary but locally stationary with regions of stationarity identified using different strategies. In one approach, the regions are defined as partitions of the spatial domain where spatially-varying covariates are more homogeneous; in the other, the regions are defined as subsets of the spatial domain with varying strength of spatial dependence. I will show that inference and SOC predictions yielded by our models are valuable for sampling design and to decision makers, in that they can be used to better benchmark mechanistic models and identify targets for soil restoration projects.

05 May '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar, which will be held in person and online streaming: Speaker: Nicola Turchi (Università di Milano-Bicocca) Title: Comparing the min-max of two Gaussian random matrices (Abstract below) Date and Time: Thursday May 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula 24, Dip. di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Roma. link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09> ID riunione: 942 4880 8208 Passcode: 337504 Best regards, Anna Paola Todino ————————— Abstract: We compute quantitative bounds for measuring the discrepancy between the distribution of two min-max statistics involving either pairs of Gaussian random matrices, or one Gaussian and one Gaussian-subordinated random matrix. In the fully Gaussian setup, our approach allows us to recover quantitative versions of well-known inequalities by Gordon, thus generalising the quantitative version of the Sudakov-Fernique inequality deduced by Chatterjee. On the other hand, the Gaussian-subordinated case yields generalizations of estimates obtained in the framework of the CCK theory. As applications, we establish comparison bounds for order statistics of random vectors and fourth moment bounds for matrices of multiple stochastic Wiener-Itô integrals. Based on a joint work with G. Peccati. ——————————————————— Anna Paola Todino Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma

(PMS)^2 talk: J.-D. Deuschel [4 May] at UniMIB
by Maurizia Rossi 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: *Jean-Dominique Deuschel* (TU Berlin) *Title: *An isomorphism theorem for Ginzburg-Landau interface models and scaling limits. (See Abstract below.) *Date and Time:* Thursday May 4, 16:30-17:30 (Rome time zone). Place: *Aula 3014, Dip. di Matematica e Applicazioni, Univ. di Milano-Bicocca*, Via R. Cozzi 55, Milano. *Webex link:* https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=mc07da73e64ea2eb0da78975bc808… *Meeting number:* 2741 491 0178*Password: *HPxNQASR579 (47967277 for phones) %%%%%%%%%% *Abstract: *We introduce a natural measure on bi-infinite random walk trajectories evolving in a time-dependent environment driven by the Langevin dynamics associated with a gradient Gibbs measure with convex potential. We derive an identity relating the occupation times of the Poissonian cloud induced by this measure to the square of the corresponding gradient field, which - generically - is not Gaussian. In the quadratic case, we recover a well-known generalization of the second Ray-Knight theorem. We further determine the scaling limits of the various objects involved in dimension 3, which are seen to exhibit homogenization. In particular, we prove that the renormalized square of the gradient field converges under appropriate rescaling to the Wick-ordered square of a Gaussian free field on R^3 with suitable diffusion matrix, thus extending a celebrated result of Naddaf and Spencer regarding the scaling limit of the field itself. (Based on joint work with Pierre-François Rodriguez.) %%%%%%%%%%% This talk is part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

Buongiorno, ricevo e con piacere inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Serena Cenatiempo <serena.cenatiempo(a)gssi.it> Date: Wed, 3 May 2023 at 08:01 Subject: GSSI Math Colloquium by Daniel Ueltschi / May 4th at 14.00 To: Alessia Nota <alessia.nota(a)univaq.it> Dear all of the SMAQ group, this is to announce that Daniel Ueltschi will give a Colloquium talk at GSSI on *Loop models and the universal distribution of the loop lengths* this Thursday*, May 4th, 2023 at 14.00 in the **GSSI Auditorium (please NOTICE the unusual time).* The talk will be also streamed online at the link below: https://zoom.us/j/97365002731?pwd=cmR1Y0RIV3lxTlJ5QWVJUlN0akNvQT09 ID riunione: 973 6500 2731 Passcode: MATHatGSSI Abstract. I will review several models that consist of one-dimensional loops living in the three-dimensional space. These models describe bosonic systems, and classical or quantum spin systems. Their common feature is that the joint distribution of their loop lengths has universal behaviour: It is always a Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. Most of this theory is conjectural, but it is backed by numerical studies and some partial rigorous results.

PMS^2 hybrid talk: Davide Addona, Monday May 8 at 16.30.
by Margherita Zanella 02 May '23

02 May '23

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: Davide Addona (Università di Parma) Title: Young equations in infinite dimension with singularities. Abstract: In this talk I will present some new results about Young differential equations in infinite dimension with “non smooth” initial datum. During the talk I will introduce the concept of Young integral for non smooth paths defined by Young in 1936 and an algebraic approach to integration with respect to non smooth paths due to Gubinelli in 2004, whose generalization allows to consider abstract Cauchy problems driven by an irregular path. At last, if I will have time, I will give an idea of the of the theory of rough paths started by Terry Lions in 1998 and developed by other authors in the last twenty years. Date and time: Monday May 8, 16:30-17:30 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula Seminari - III piano (third floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 – 20133 Milano - Ed. 14 “Nave” Campus Bonardi.

De Finetti Risk Seminar - May 3, 2023
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture: Jean-Pierre Fouque University of California Santa Barbara Title: Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for Mixed Mean Field Control Games Abstract: We present a new combined Mean Field Control Game (MFCG) problem which can be interpreted as a competitive game between collaborating groups and its solution as a Nash equilibrium between the groups. Within each group the players coordinate their strategies. An example of such a situation is a modification of the classical trader's problem. Groups of traders maximize their wealth. They are faced with transaction cost for their own trades and a cost for their own terminal position. In addition they face a cost for the average holding within their group. The asset price is impacted by the trades of all agents. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm to approximate the solution of such mixed Mean Field Control Game problems. We test the algorithm on benchmark linear-quadratic specifications for which we have analytic solutions. Joint work with A. Angiuli, N. Detering, Mathieu Laurière, and J. Lin.

Seminar Prof. F. Patras at Università degli Studi di Milano
by Stefania Ugolini 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Professor F. Patras (Univ. Côte d’Azur, CNRS) will give a seminar on Thursday, May 04th at 15:00, in Aula Dottorato, at the Department of Mathematics "Federigo Enriques", Università degli Studi di Miano. Title: "Wick polynomials, from classical to free probability." Abstract: Wick polynomials are a central object in quantum physics and classical probability (where they encode for example "chaos decompositions" - they provide an orthonormal basis of the space of square integrable functions of a Gaussian random variable). We will discuss an algebraic formulation of Wick's constructions that allows to generalize them to a wide variety of contexts, featuring free probability - a probability theory closely linked to random matrices but that appears in various recent works, in different areas.

Abstract: In various situations, one may be interested in the concept of differentiation of random variables or processes with respect to some underlying parameters. We will discuss this possibility in the case of random variables related to stopping times. Rather than discussing general theory (which we may), we will present basic examples that give hints about the general results and exhibit the difficulties involved in the development of general results. ________________________________ Fabio Antonelli DISIM - Università di L'Aquila

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Helen Rey* (London Business School), *Elisa Giuliani *(University of Pisa) and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Corso Paul JENKINS (University of Warwick)
by Matteo Ruggiero 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (programma completo alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting) con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- Paul JENKINS (University of Warwick) SIMULATION AND INFERENCE IN POPULATION GENETICS Population genetics provides a rich source of data. We now have the ability to sequence, cost-efficiently, the genomes of a large number of individuals from a species. Patterns of variation in DNA sequences offer a rich insight into biological and demographic processes: mutation, natural selection, past migration events, admixture, population structure, and so on. But such data are high-dimensional, noisy, and - because of shared ancestry - not independent, giving rise to some challenging statistical problems. In this course we will cover two important models for the analysis of genetic data - the coalescent, and the Wright-Fisher diffusion. We will discuss methods of simulation of data from these models, as well as how to perform inference for key biological and evolutionary parameters, using techniques such as MCMC. -------------------------------------- Il corso si svolgerà esclusivamente in presenza secondo il seguente calendario: - mar 2 Maggio, h.16-18 - mer 3 Maggio, h.16-18 - ven 5 Maggio, h.11.15-13.15 (Aula 3) - mar 9 Maggio, h.14-16 - mer 10 Maggio, h.16-18 - gio 11 Maggio, h.16-18 - mar 16 Maggio, h.14-16 - mer 17 Maggio, h.16-18 Sede dei corsi: Aula 11 (tranne il 5/5), Terzo piano - Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino. Il corso è rivolto agli studenti della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati.

Seminario A. Stamm presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Si avvisa che in data 26-04-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica (Edificio 14 - La Nave), in Aula Saleri (sesto piano), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Aymeric Stamm, Laboratoire de Mathématiques Jean Leray - UMR CNRS, Nantes, France Titolo: Clustering for rotation-valued functional data Abstract: This talk is motivated by the strong case study of monitoring gait for early detection of gait impairment in patients diagnosed with gait-affecting disorders. To this effect, we record the rotation of the hip over time. This leads to data with a great complexity that makes any kind of statistical analysis non-trivial. In effect, we collect functional data that evaluates on the Lie group of three-dimensional rotations which is a non-Euclidean space. In this work, we develop sound statistical methods to enable joint clustering and alignment of such functional data by borrowing ideas from the existing 𝑘-means alignment approach. In the process, we will describe in great length the R package fdacluster, which is an extension of the R package fdakma that provides a fast C++ based implementation of the k-mean alignment algorithm from Sangalli et al. (2010) as well as hierarchical clustering for functional data and tools that help choosing the number of clusters.

Seminario di Gérard Letac, Giovedì 27 Aprile, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì prossimo in Sapienza. Notare il giorno e l'aula inusuali. *Giovedì 27 Aprile, ore 14:00* Aula L, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Gérard Letac (Paul Sabatier University - Toulouse III) *Title: *From the Matsumoto Yor observation to stationary measures for a discrete KdV model *Abstract: *Let F(x,y)=(u,v) from R2 into itself such that F∘F(x,y)=(x,y). The discrete Korteweg-de Vries model associated to F considers two dimensional vectors (x tn,ytn) indexed by (t,n)∈Z2 submitted to (xtn,ytn)=F(xt−1n,ytn−1). In the particular case F(x,y)=(y−1−(x+y)−1,(x+y)−1), by considerations on Brownian motion, Matsumoto-Yor in 1999 have found laws of independent random variables X,Y such that U,V defined by F(X,Y)=(U,V) are independent, obtaining stationary measures on the KdV model. In an extraordinary paper, Croydon and Sasada (2021) have generalized this result to the surprizing F(x ,y)=(yβxy+1αxy+1,xαxy+1βxy+1). The lecture will prove that if X,Y are independent and such that U,V=F(X,Y) are also independent, then the laws of X and Y are indeed the generalized Gaussian distributions discovered by Croydon and Sasada. This is joint work with Jacek Wesolowski (arXiv 2203.05404). *Nota*: Sul sito del dipartimento il seminario è, ad oggi, annunciato per le 17:00 (in Aula II), ma si terrà alle 14:00 (in Aula L), come annunciato in questa email. La pagina è in corso di aggiornamento. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminar@UNIBO - ROSANNA GRASSI
by Fabrizio Lillo 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

*Tuesday May 2nd, 2023 12:00* *– 13:00* Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna Aula Seminario II, Piazza di Porta San Donato 5, Bologna Prof. Rosanna Grassi, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca *Title: Higher order assortativity for directed weighted networks and Markov chains* Abstract: Assortativity is a global indicator that provides meaningful insights about the network structure. In the classical definition, the assortativity is a global measure based on the Pearson correlation between the degrees of nodes. This definition can be extended into two different directions. On the one side, one can consider other quantitative attributes of the nodes different from the degree; on the other side, one can move from the adjacency of the nodes – which is the basis of Newman’s degree-degree assortativity – and propose more general ways to connect them. We provide a generalized concept of the assortativity measure for directed and weighted networks, moving beyond the adjacency relations in both directions. The proposed concept is formulated on a node attribute that is not necessarily the degree or strength, and nodes are connected through walks or paths. In this way, we totally extend the assortativity definitions provided in the literature until now. We provide an empirical application of these measures for the paradigmatic case of the trade network. Interestingly, this interpretation of the higher-order assortativity measure allows stating a natural bridge between complex networks and stochastic processes. In so doing, we are able to move from the information content of the higher order assortativity of a network to the dynamical properties of the underlying Markov chain. Specifically, the temporal dimension of the network and the regularities captured by the autocorrelation – which are hidden in the network structure – become clear in moving to the Markov chain theory. ---------------------------------------- Fabrizio Lillo Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa ITALY Personal website: fabriziolillo.wordpress.com University website: www.unibo.it/sitoweb/fabrizio.lillo <http://fabriziolillo.wordpress.com/> phone: +39 050509159

OWABC- Emtiyaz Khan - The Bayesian Learning Rule - April 27, 9.30am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Dear all, The One World ABC Seminar series www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is about to resume. Our next speaker will be Emtiyaz Khan<https://emtiyaz.github.io/> (RIKEN), who will talk about "The Bayesian Learning Rule" on Thursday, April 27, 9.30am UK time, with an abstract reported below. The talk will be hosted on MS Teams here<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Yjk5MDQyYWMtZmI3Yy00…>. Title: The Bayesian Learning Rule. Abstract Humans and animals have a natural ability to autonomously learn and quickly adapt to their surroundings. How can we design machines that do the same? In this talk, I will present Bayesian principles to bridge such gaps between humans and machines. I will show that a wide-variety of machine-learning algorithms are instances of a single learning-rule derived from Bayesian principles. I will also briefly discuss the dual perspective yielding new mechanisms for knowledge transfer in learning machines. My hope is to convince the audience that Bayesian principles are indispensable for an AI that learns as efficiently as we do. References * The Bayesian Learning Rule, (Preprint) M.E. Khan, H.

He finished his PhD in machine learning from University of British Columbia in 2012. The main goal of Emti’s research is to understand the principles of learning from data and use them to develop algorithms that can learn like living beings. For more than 10 years, his work has focused on developing Bayesian methods that could lead to such fundamental principles. The approximate Bayesian inference team now continues to use these principles, as well as derive new ones, to solve real-world problems.

19 Apr '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, April 26th, at 14h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual room! Aula 2001 is behind Aula Dal Passo) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Federico Ricci Tersenghi (La Sapienza) with the seminar _ _ _"Phase transitions and algorithmic thresholds for optimization and inference problems on sparse random graphs__"_ _ _ Abstract: Focusing on some fundamental constraint satisfaction problems defined on sparse random graphs (e.g. random k-sat, random q-coloring) I will start summarizing the rich phase diagram of the solution space which has been derived using powerful techniques from statistical mechanics of disordered systems. I will then discuss the implications of some of these phase transitions for the behaviour of smart algorithms searching for solutions. In the second part, I will consider the problem of inferring a signal from noisy and/or incomplete data within the Bayesian framework called the teacher-student scenario. I will discuss the corresponding phase diagrams and how phase transitions may affect the performances of inference algorithms based on message-passing and Monte Carlo sampling. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the event on Teams [1]. The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

Mark Podolskij's seminar at LUISS (hybrid mode)
by Sara 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Dear all, Professor Mark Podolskij ( https://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fstm/dmath/people/mark_podolskij) will give a seminar on *Thursday, April 20 at noon in room 205:* *Title * On Estimation of the Maximal Rank of Stochastic Volatility *Abstract* In this talk we address the question of how many Brownian motions are required to model a multivariate price process of diffusion type. It turns out that this question is equivalent to estimation of the maximal rank of the volatility component. We solve this mathematical problem in the high frequency regime and provide a formal estimation and testing procedure. If the time allows we touch upon high dimensional aspects of the problem. Please, find here the link to the seminar virtual room: Link room 205 B: https://luiss.webex.com/luiss-en/j.php?MTID=me3d961dc4b3575085d5d4b6a304e2d… guest username: w_guest(a)luiss.it pw : i7G3HiAKq2Q Best regards, Sara ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Sara Biagini* Department of Economics and Finance *LUISS University* Address: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Roma *Web* (institutional): https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/docenti/cv/352478 *Web* (personal): https://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

To support my claims, I will focus on the Demographic Parity fairness constraint, describing various connections to classical statistical theory, optimal transport, and conformal prediction literature. In particular, we will study the form of an optimal prediction function under this constraint in both regression and classification. Then, I will describe a learning procedure which is supported by statistical guarantees under no or mild assumptions on the underlying data distribution. This talk is based on a sequence of joint works with Ch. Denis, S. Gaucher, M. Hebiri, L. Oneto, M. Pontil, and N. Schreuder. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89455985680?pwd=OXBPZSthaG5pRjZGbDNMVk9MMG1PQT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario F. Mecatti (UNIMIB) presso il Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 17 Apr '23

Si avvisa che in data 21-04-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Fulvia Mecatti, Università degli Studi Milano Bicocca Titolo: What is big in big data? A sampling statistician perspective Abstract: BigData users as well as BigData research community are fast growing bigger and bigger while statisticians at large seem to be growing divided between enthusiastic and worried, when not downright hostile. Is BigData also a big step ahead to extract information and actual knowledge from data? Is BigData underplaying statistical inference as we know it? Supplanting stats methodology as a low-cost futuristic option? As a (mainly) sampling statistician, in this webinar I shall try to decipher the multifaceted relationship connecting BigData to statistical and to sampling methodology, starting with the still blurry definition of BigData and discussing some very personal considerations and views. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente Link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2272 Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it <https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it/>

SPASS Seminar: Vittoria Silvestri
by Francesco Grotto 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models* Vittoria Silvestri (Università di Roma 1 La Sapienza) The seminar will take place on TUE, 18.4.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will discuss shape theorems and fluctuations of ALE clusters, which include Hastings-Levitov clusters as particular cases, in the subcritical regime. Based on joint work with James Norris and Amanda Turner.*

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 14 Aprile 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Peter Grunwald* (CWI and Universitet Leiden, Netherlands) Title: *E is for Evidence* Abstract: How much evidence do the data give us about one hypothesis versus another? The standard way to measure evidence is still the p-value, despite a myriad of problems surrounding it. We present the e-value, a recently popularized notion of evidence which overcomes some of these issues. While e-values were only given a name as recently as 2019, interest in them has since exploded with papers in the Annals, JRSS B, Biometrika and the like – June 2022 saw the first international workshop on e-values, a second one is planned. In simple cases, e-values coincide with Bayes factors. But if the null is composite or nonparametric, or an alternative cannot be explicitly formulated, e-values and Bayes factors become distinct and e-processes can be seen as a generalization of nonnegative supermartingales. Thus, unlike the Bayes factor, e-values always allow for tests with strict frequentist Type-I error control under optional continuation of data collection and combination of data from different sources. E-values are also the basic building blocks of anytime-valid confidence intervals that remain valid under continuous monitoring and optional stopping. In parametric settings they tend to be strictly wider than, hence consistent with Bayesian credible intervals. This led to the development of the e-posterior, an analogue to the Bayesian posterior that gets wider rather than wrong if the prior is chosen badly. This work is based on: P. Grunwald,. R. de Heide, W. Koolen (2023). Safe Testing. To appear in J. Roy. Stat. Soc., Series B P. Grunwald (2023) . The E-Posterior. Proc. Phil. Trans. Soc.

OWPS Tomorrow: Fabio Toninelli and Giuseppe Cannizzaro
by Alberto Chiarini 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (17:00 to 19:00 Central European Time), Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) and Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) Title : Out-of-equilibrium phenomena, stochastic PDEs and Gaussian limits Abstract : I will report on mathematical progress on certain (non-linear, singular) stochastic PDEs that model effectively the mesoscopic behaviour of some out-of-equilibrium physical systems, most notably stochastic interface growth and driven diffusive systems. Scaling and Renormalization Group arguments suggest that, above the critical dimension d=2, the large-scale behaviour of these equations should be Gaussian. Our results imply, indeed, Gaussian scaling limits in dimension d\ge 3 (for driven diffusive systems) and also, at least in the regime of weak non-linearity, in the critical dimension d=2 (both for driven diffusive systems and for the Anisotropic KPZ equation). Talk : Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title : Weak coupling scaling of critical SPDEs Abstract : The study of stochastic PDEs has known tremendous advances in recent years and, thanks to Hairer's theory of regularity structures and Gubinelli and Perkowski's paracontrolled approach, (local) existence and uniqueness of solutions of subcritical SPDEs is by now well-understood. The goal of this talk is to move beyond the aforementioned theories and present novel tools to derive the scaling limit (in the so-called weak coupling scaling) for certain stationary SPDEs at the critical dimension. Our techniques are inspired by the resolvent method developed by Landim, Olla, Yau, Ramirez, and many others, in the context of particle systems in the supercritical dimension and might be well-suited to study a much wider class of statistical mechanics models at criticality.

SPASS Seminar: Riccardo Montalto
by Francesco Grotto 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Construction on quasi-periodic nonlinear waves in fluid mechanics,* Riccardo Montalto (Milano Statale). The seminar will take place on TUE, 4.4.2023 at 13:30 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. *Please notice that the seminar will take place half an hour earlier than usual.* The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk I will discuss some recent results on Euler and Navier Stokes equations concerning the construction of quasi-periodic solutions and the problem of the inviscid limit for the Navier Stokes equation. I will discuss the following results:* *1) Construction of quasi-periodic solutions for the Euler equation with a time quasi-periodic external force, bifurcating from a constant, diophantine velocity field;2) I shall discuss the inviscid limit problem from the perspective of KAM theory, namely I shall prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions of the Navier Stokes equation converging to the one of the Euler equation constructed in 1) . The main difficulty is that this is a singular limit problem. We overcome this difficulty by implementing a normal form methods which allow to prove sharp estimates (global in time) w.r. to the viscosity parameter;3) (time permitting) I also discuss the construction of quasi-periodic traveling waves bifurcating from the Couette flow for the autonomous 2D Euler equation.These works are based on collaborations with Luca Franzoi and Nader Masmoudi. *

In this talk I will discuss a family of Gibbsian measures on the set of Laguerre tessellations. These measures may be used to provide a systematic approach for constructing Gibbsian solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs by exploring the Eularian description of the shock dynamics. Such solutions depend on kernels satisfying kinetic-like equations reminiscent of the Smoluchowski model for coagulating and fragmenting particles. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Webinar UMI-PRISMA 3 aprile Campi-Callegaro
by Claudia Ceci 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Buongiorno a tutt*, ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 3 aprile 2023* ore 16-17 LUCIANO CAMPI Title: Correlated equilibria and mean field games Abstract: In the context of mean field games (MFGs), we introduce a generalization of mean field game solution, called correlated solution, which can be seen as the mean field game analogue of a correlated equilibrium. The latter is a generalization of Nash equilibrium for stochastic games. Our notion of solution can be justified in two ways for MFGs in discrete time and finite state space: correlated solutions arise as limits of exchangeable correlated equilibria in restricted (Markov open-loop) strategies for the underlying $N$-player games, and approximate $N$-player correlated equilibria can be constructed starting from a correlated solution to the mean field game. Moreover, those results can be extended to progressive deviations, possibly depending on the whole history of the state and the flow of measures. In this talk we will focus especially on a further extension to continuous time MFGs through the notion of coarse correlated equilibrium. This talk is based on joint works with O. Bonesini, F. Cannerozzi and M. Fischer. ore 17-18 GIORGIA CALLEGARO Title: McKean–Vlasov Game of Commodity Production, Consumption and Trading Abstract: We propose a model where a producer and a consumer can affect the price dynamics of some commodity controlling drift and volatility of, respectively, the production rate and the consumption rate. We assume that the producer has a short position in a forward contract on λ units of the underlying at a fixed price F, while the consumer has the corresponding long position. Moreover, both players are risk-averse with respect to their financial position and their risk aversions are modelled through an integrated-variance penalization. We study the impact of risk aversion on the interaction between the producer and the consumer as well as on the derivative price. In mathematical terms, we are dealing with a two-player linear-quadratic McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential game. Using methods based on the martingale optimality principle and BSDEs, we find a Nash equilibrium and characterize the corresponding strategies and payoffs in semi-explicit form. Furthermore, we compute the two indifference prices (one for the producer and one for the consumer) induced by that equilibrium and we determine the quantity λ such that the players agree on the price. Finally, we illustrate our results with some numerics. In particular, we focus on how the risk aversions and the volatility control costs of the players affect the derivative price.

At the event page link you can find the paper, the zoom link to attend online and a button to add the event to your calendars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 22nd @ 12.00 Speaker: Peter Tankov (ENSAE) Title: Decarbonization of financial markets: a mean-field game approach Abstract:We build a model of a financial market where a large number offirms determine their dynamic emission strategies under climate transition risk in the presence of both green-minded and neutral investors.The firms aim to achieve a trade-off between financial and environ-mental performance, while interacting through the stochastic discountfactor, determined in equilibrium by the investors’ allocations. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then presenta convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium andillustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence ofgreen-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics andshare prices. We show that uncertainty about future climate risks andpolicies leads to higher overall emissions and higher spreads betweenshare prices of green and brown companies. This effect is partially reversed in the presence of environmentally concerned investors, whoseimpact on the cost of capital spurs companies to reduce emissions.

Seminar by Dr. Vincenzo Candila.
by Giorgio Rizzini 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following seminar by Dr. *Vincenzo Candila* (University of Salerno) on Wednesday March 29th 2023 starting from 4:30 p.m. in room 2062 at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan). *On the tennis winner forecasting methods: from the Weighted Elo rates to the network-based indicators* *Vincenzo **Candila* Department of Economics and Statistics University of Salerno *Abstract:* Statistical methods for predicting the winner in tennis matches have increased in popularity over the last two decades. Currently, several techniques are available, such as the regression-based, point-based, and paired-comparison approaches. Within this latter class, the Elo rating is one of the most popular methods to predict the probability of winning tennis matches. Even with its widely recognized merits in terms of good performance, the Elo method only partially considers each player's current form and recent performances. To overcome this drawback, we have proposed a new version of the Elo rating method, labeled Weighted Elo (WElo), where the standard Elo rates are weighted according to the scoreline of the players’ last match. More recently, we have further enlarged the paired-comparison class of models, introducing the network-based indicators for the first time to allow the ratings of the whole set of players to vary every time there is a new match. This work aims to illustrate the main characteristics of the WElo and network-based rates. In the empirical applications, we show the statistically meaningful benefits of using the proposed approaches with respect to many popular competing specifications. *March 29th, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.* *Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods* *Room **2062* * - Building U7 (Second floor)* *Bicocca degli Arcimboldi street, 8 – 20126 Milan* For further information, please write to rosanna.grassi(a)unimib.it

Seminar: Francesco Vaccarino at Tor Vergata
by salvi 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 15th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Francesco Vaccarino (Politecnico di Torino) with the seminar _ _ _"Hodge-Shapley game: a Laplacian-based Shapley-like associated game for eXplainable AI"_ _ _ Abstract: In cooperative game theory, a set of players or decision-makers should negotiate to decide how to allocate the worth gained by the coalition composed of all the players. A value is a solution concept that suggests the outcome of the negotiation among players. Among the many existing alternative solution concepts, it is prevalent the Shapley value solution concept. Its popularity also derives from the property of being a fair allocation, where a set of desirable properties or axioms describes fairness. The axioms characterize the Shapley value in the sense that it is the unique value satisfying those properties; at the same time, the axioms allow deriving a simple explicit combinatorial formula to compute the Shapley value. In our approach, coalitions are the main subjects of cooperation, instead of single players, and, inspired by the Shapley value, the goal is to derive a fair associated game, i.e. an allocation to coalitions satisfying a set of desirable properties. The methodology is based on using the Hodge decomposition of the simplicial complex associated with the partially ordered set of the subsets of the set of players ordered by inclusion. We will motivate this investigation within the framework of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Joint work with Antonio Mastropietro (Eurecom - F) We encourage in-person partecipation.

Next OWPS on March 29th: Milton Jara and Otávio Menezes
by Alberto Chiarini 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 29th of March from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speakers are: Milton Jara (IMPA) and Otávio Menezes (Purdue University) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Milton Jara (IMPA) and Otávio Menezes (Purdue University) Title : CLT for NESS Abstract : Non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS) are ubiquitous in nature, but not well understood from a mathematical point of view. The main features of NESS is the presence of non-trivial currents, which generate long-range correlations in the system. Modeling physical systems by Markov chains, one can restate questions about NESS as the description of invariant measures for non-reversible Markov chains. This opens the way to describe NESS by probabilistic methods. However, basic questions for non-reversible Markov chains, like for example mixing times or quantitative CLTs are not been answered in great generality. Our first talk will introduce NESS with some examples, and it will introduce general and fairly elementary methodology for Markov chains that we believe is well suited to the study of non-reversible Markov chains. The second talk will describe some recent results about the description of NESS for driven-diffusive systems.

Seminar announcement: M. Tarsia on time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems – March 29, 2023 – 13:00-14:00
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, On March 29, 2023, 13:00-14:00, Dr. Marco Tarsia (University of Insubria) will give a talk on “Subgame-perfect equilibrium strategies for time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems” (joint work with Elisa Mastrogiacomo). The seminar will be held in person and online via the MS Teams platform. Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWU0MDRiNjctYWNmYS00… Place: Dipartimento di Economia, Via Monte Generoso 71, room TBA. Below you can find an abstract of Marco’s talk. You are all invited. *** Abstract In this talk, we discuss about time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems, i.e., for which Bellman’s principle of optimality does not hold. In practice, a restriction of an optimal control for a specific initial pair on a later time interval might not be optimal for that corresponding initial pair; this happens, for instance, in dynamic utility maximization problems for investment- consumption strategies under non-exponential discounting. For this class of problems classical optimal controls may fail to exist, or to be relevant in practice, and dynamic programming is not easily applicable. Therefore, the notion of optimality is defined through a game-theoretic framework by means of subgame-perfect equilibrium: we interpret our preference changes which, realistically, are inconsistent over time, as players in a game for which we want to find a Nash equilibrium. The approach followed in our work relies on the stochastic (Pontryagin) maximum principle: we adapt the classical spike variation technique to obtain a characterization of equilibrium strategies in terms of a generalized second-order Hamiltonian function defined through pairs of backward stochastic differential equations, even in the multidimensional case. We emphasize that, similarly to the classical case, equilibrium strategies are characterized through both a necessary condition and a sufficient condition involving the generalized Hamiltonian function, whereas, contrary to the classical case, this sufficient condition works even in the absence of extra convexity assumptions. Going further, our analysis is extended to time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems under a constraint defined by means of an additional recursive utility, under appropriate boundedness assumptions. That constraint refers to an expected value and so we adapt Ekeland’s variational principle to this trickier situation. Finally, the theoretical results are applied in the financial field to finite horizon investment-consumption policies with non-exponential actualization. Here the existence of non-trivial equilibrium policies is also ascertained.

Seminario di Marta Leocata, Martedì 21 Marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Ricordo il seminario di oggi, e segnalo che sarà trasmesso su zoom al seguente link: *Zoom link: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/98462690288?pwd=SnYrNmpTQXQxZEI2UmN3VW1ucVNBdz09 Meeting ID: 984 6269 0288 Passcode: 683135 *Martedì 21 Marzo, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Marta Leocata, SNS *Title: *Modeling an example of green transition *Abstract:* The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some kind of interaction between many subjects and collective behaviors seem to play a role. We have identified as a first example the case of solar photovoltaic, with the purpose of explaining the time series of Italy and of different regions. We use tools from continuous-time Markov chains, mean field limits, optimal control, and mean field games. Then, we specify our analysis on the case of domestic installations. In order to explain them we propose a Markovian model of interacting particle systems to describe the decision of a significant proportion of the general public in Italy on the installation of solar photovoltaics (PVs) and compare our models to real data. We assume that the adoption decision follows a well precise pattern. First, the general public develops a certain level of sensitivity to climate change and environmental issues. Then it plans to install the PVs because she/he has a sufficient amount of information on the benefits of PVs. Finally, it installs PVs because the economic benefits out-weights the costs. In conclusion, we propose some original policies, not based not on financial incentives. This work is in collaboration with Franco Flandoli (SNS), Giulia Livieri (SNS), Silvia Morlacchi (SNS), Fausto Corvino (University of Gothenburg) and Alberto Pirni (SSSA). ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Nicola Turchi (Università Milano Bicocca)
by alessandra bianchi 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on March 31 at 14.30 at the Math Department of Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ *Speaker*: Nicola Turchi (Università Milano Bicocca) *Title*: High-dimensional random polytopes of the Beta kind *Date and time*: Friday, MARCH 31 at 14.30 *Place*: room 1BC45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link*: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/82935460505 (Meeting ID 829 3546 0505) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract*: Beta polytopes are a class of random polytopes, which arise as convex hulls of independent random points distributed according to a certain radially-symmetric probability distribution supported on the Euclidean ball, called the beta distribution. A prominent reason for the interest surrounding them is that the beta distribution exhibits peculiar properties that make exact computations possible to achieve, contrarily to most other models of randomness with non-independent coordinates. As the space dimension grows, the expected fraction of the volume that these polytopes fill within their supporting balls can be asymptotically negligible or not, depending on the number of points which are picked in each dimension. In this talk we give an overview on how to quantify this statement, first showing a rough threshold for the aforementioned growth and secondly a more precise one, namely how many points are needed to get any fraction in average. Lastly, we show how we can handle more precise asymptotics for the approach towards zero in the lower regimes of points, based on a work in progress with G. Bonnet and Z. Kabluchko. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

LTI@Unito Seminars| Dimitri Vayanos (March 7) and Johan Hombert (March 8) @ 12.00
by Luca Regis 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to invite you to the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto (CCA): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 7th @ 12.00 (webinar) Speaker: Dimitri Vayanos (LSE) Title: Passive Investing and the Rise of Mega-Firms Abstract: We study how passive investing affects asset prices. Flows into passive funds raise dispropor-tionately the stock prices of the economy’s largest firms—even when the indices tracked by the funds include all firms. Passive flows also raise the largest firms’ return volatility the most, andraise the aggregate stock market even when they are entirely due to investors switching from active to passive. These effects arise because of the re-pricing of systematic and large firms’idiosyncratic risk. We estimate that passive investing caused the 50 largest US firms to rise 30%more than the US stock market over 1996–2020.

Using the late 1990s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) boom as a laboratory, we show that skilled labor joining this new sector experienced sizeable long-term earnings losses. We trace these losses to skill obsolescence, that cannot be explained by either selection or the subsequent ICT sector bust. During the boom, capital flowed more to firms whose workers would ultimately experience a larger productivity decline. This suggests that financial capital can amplify the negative effects of labor reallocation into booming sectors on aggregate labor productivity.

40th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory: Copulas – Theory and Applications
by Fabrizio, Antonio DURANTE 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Dear Colleague, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 40th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory <https://www.flll.jku.at/linz2023> Copulas – Theory and Applications Bildungshaus St. Magdalena, Linz, Austria June 6-9, 2023 Since their inception in 1979 the Linz Seminars on Fuzzy Sets have emphasized the development of mathematical aspects in the context of fuzzy sets by bringing together researchers in fuzzy sets and established mathematicians whose work outside the fuzzy setting can provide direction for further research. The philosophy of the seminar has always been to keep it deliberately small and intimate so that informal critical discussions remain central. LINZ 2023 will be the 40th seminar carrying on this tradition and is devoted to the theme "Copulas — Theory and Applications". The goal of the seminar is to present and to discuss recent advances of copulas and related functions and their applications in pure and applied fields. Accordingly, the topics of the Seminar will include but not be limited to: · Copula theory o From bivariate to multivariate copulas o Dependence measures and association o Approximation and convergence of copulas o Measure theoretic aspects of copulas o Copulas in the discrete setting · Copula applications o Applications in pure and applied fields o Estimation in the context of copulas o Copula methods in Data Science o Feature selection · Relationship to other aggregation functions o Triangular (co)norms, implications o Uninorms, nullnorms o Quasi-copulas, semicopulas o Distribution functions The "Linz" tradition has these key features: the number of participants of the Linz Seminars is usually bounded above by 40 with broad international representation and an enjoyable mix of pure and applied interests; there are no parallel sessions so that all participants focus on each presentation and fully engage in each topic; and there is time for discussion of each presentation, with follow up round table(s) for discussion of open problems and issues raised in the talks. In particular, young researchers (PhD students, junior post-docs) are encouraged to submit their latest results. Please submit your extended abstract (up to 4 pages) by March 29th, 2023 following the guidelines provided at the webpage of the seminar. Further Information about the seminar(s) is available at: https://www.flll.jku.at/linz2023 and https://www.flll.jku.at/linzseminars We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you in Linz, Best regards, Fabrizio Durante, Susanne Saminger-Platz, Wolfgang Trutschnig (Program Chairs) --------------------------------------------------------- Fabrizio Durante Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Economia Centro Ecotekne Pal.

Ricevo ed inoltro Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Phd Mathematics GSSI <phd.math(a)gssi.it> Date: gio 16 mar 2023, 12:34 Subject: New Call for Math GSSI PhD applications 2023/24 Now open To: *11 PhD FELLOWSHIPS IN MATHEMATICS @GSSI* (Apologies for multiple posting) Please diffuse this announcement among colleagues and potentially interested students. Deadline *May 2nd, 2023 3pm* (Italian time). *Should you require any assistance with questions that are not addressed in the GSSI website*, please contact applications(a)gssi.it ================================================================== Dear Colleagues, this is to announce the opening for *11 PhD Fellowships* in "Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences" at Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) starting in November 2021. The application must be submitted through the online form available at www.gssi.it/phd/ by May 2nd, 2023 at 3pm (Italian time zone). Please find the call at https://applications.gssi.it/applications/. The fellowships are awarded for 4 years and their yearly amount is € 16.159,91 gross. All PhD students have free accommodation, free luncheon vouchers and use of the canteen. The official language for the PhD course is English. 1 PhD Fellowship is funded under the ERC project *"CARDIOTRIALS -CARDIac simulations to run in-silicO clinical TRIALS**"*, please find further information below. Within the Ph <https://gssi.it/education/mathematics-education>.D. <https://gssi.it/education/mathematics-education>course in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences <https://gssi.it/education/mathematics-education> a priority has been established on mathematical modeling, both towards the traditional areas of application, such as Physics or Engineering, and towards emerging issues in Biology and Social Sciences. GSSI mathematics researchers are interested in tackling many problems with complementary perspectives and methods. The area of Mathematics is characterized by four large macro-sectors: Applied Partial Differential Equations, Stochastic Analysis, Numerical methods and Continuum Mechanics Modeling. Within these sectors there is a shared interest in problems related to fluid dynamics and nonlinear waves, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and also its applications to data science. Important ideas of classical analysis, probability theory, mathematical physics and theoretical physics are used also for less traditional applications. Numerical linear algebra and numerical optimization help to design new models and accompanying numerical algorithms for applications in data mining, machine learning and network science. Continuum mechanics models, computational methods in fluid dynamics are used not only in their traditional field at the boundary between applied mathematics and theoretical engineering, but also in nonconventional problems like modeling the full heart function. Students and researchers in Mathematics at GSSI are encouraged to interact with other scientific communities. At GSSI, we believe that the interdisciplinary endeavor is the most effective way to do science and benefit society. Mathematical models are ubiquitous in physics, engineering, information theory, social and life sciences, as they provide a formidable framework to describe the time evolution of deterministic, stochastic and complex systems, which is one of the main goals at GSSI. *1 PhD fellowship* funded under the ERC project *“CARDIOTRIALS -CARDIacsimulations to run in-silicO clinical TRIALS**”*. The project aims at building a virtual model of the human heart based on the fluid-structure-electrophysiology interaction, which will be exploited to study numerically pathologies and assess the efficacy of cardiac devices, accounting for the statistical variability of the population. The project comprises the study of fluid dynamics phenomena and the application of numerical mathematics and high performance computing. The candidates willing to apply are required to work on this specific research project. Within the Ph.D. Programme in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences, it is possible to apply both for the CardiOTrials Project position and for GSSI scholarships, by submitting two different applications.

Seminario di Marta Leocata, Martedì 21 Marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 21 Marzo, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Marta Leocata, SNS *Title: *Modeling an example of green transition *Abstract:* The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some kind of interaction between many subjects and collective behaviors seem to play a role. We have identified as a first example the case of solar photovoltaic, with the purpose of explaining the time series of Italy and of different regions. We use tools from continuous-time Markov chains, mean field limits, optimal control, and mean field games. Then, we specify our analysis on the case of domestic installations. In order to explain them we propose a Markovian model of interacting particle systems to describe the decision of a significant proportion of the general public in Italy on the installation of solar photovoltaics (PVs) and compare our models to real data. We assume that the adoption decision follows a well precise pattern. First, the general public develops a certain level of sensitivity to climate change and environmental issues. Then it plans to install the PVs because she/he has a sufficient amount of information on the benefits of PVs. Finally, it installs PVs because the economic benefits out-weights the costs. In conclusion, we propose some original policies, not based not on financial incentives. This work is in collaboration with Franco Flandoli (SNS), Giulia Livieri (SNS), Silvia Morlacchi (SNS), Fausto Corvino (University of Gothenburg) and Alberto Pirni (SSSA). ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Helen Rey* (London Business School), *Elisa Giuliani *(University of Pisa) and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Seminar by Yacine Ait Sahalia in Verona, Monday 20/3/2023 at noon: How and When are High-Frequency Prices Predictable?
by Cecilia Mancini 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Dear all, Professor Yacine Ait Sahalia, from Princeton University, will give the seminar How and When are High-Frequency Prices Predictable? on Monday 20/3/2023 at the Department of Economics of the Verona University, at 12 p.m. in sala Vaona, 1st floor, Santa Marta main building, via Cantarane 24, Verona It will be possible to attend the seminar also on zoom (the meeting ID is given at the official page https://www.dse.univr.it/?ent=seminario&id=5807) All interested people will be very welcome. Best regards, Cecilia Abstract: This paper studies the predictability of ultra high-frequency stock returns and durations to relevant events, using machine learning methods. We find that, contrary to low frequency and long horizon returns, where predictability is rare and inconsistent, predictability in high frequency returns and durations is large, systematic and pervasive. We identify the relevant predictors and examine what determines the variation in predictability across different stocks and market environments. Next, we compute how the predictability varies with the timeliness of the data on a scale of milliseconds. Finally, we determine the value of getting a (short-lived and imperfect) peek at the incoming order flow, an ability that is often attributed to the fastest high frequency traders, in terms of improving the predictability.

14 Mar '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC, Amandine Veber (Université Paris Cité) and Apolline Louvet (University of Bath) will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk 1 : Amandine Veber (Université Paris Cité) Title : Modelling the evolution of genetic diversity in a population living in a spatial continuum Abstract : The spatial structure of a population influences the way genes are transmitted from one generation to the next, and consequently how the genetic diversity in the population evolves through time. To model this evolution when the population lives in continuous space (a forest, a mountain range, ...), a stochastic process called the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process was introduced in 2008 by Alison Etheridge (Oxford Univ.) and Nick Barton (IST Austria), and has been developed in a various directions since then. We shall review some of the results obtained thanks to this approach, and related questions that are still open. Talk 2 : Apolline Louvet (University of Bath) Title : Constructing a stochastic population genetics process for populations expanding in a spatial continuum Abstract : Spatial Lambda-Fleming Viot processes, or SLFVs, are a family of models for the evolution of genetic diversity in populations living in a spatial continuum. Their main characteristics is their "event-based" reproduction dynamics and the assumption that the area occupied is constant over time. In this talk, I will show how the SLFV modelling framework can be extended to include spatially expanding populations. In order to do so, I will introduce one possible approach to construct SLFVs formally, which is a variant of the method introduced in 2015 by Amandine Véber (Univ. Paris Cité) and Anton Wakolbinger (GU Frankfurt). This approach makes it possible to couple SLFV processes and explore new limiting regimes.

Friday, March 17th 11.30 - 12.30 Luiss | Viale Romania, 32 | Room 310 Arkadi Predtetchinski (Maastricht University) 0-1 Laws for a Control Problem with Random Action Sets In many control problems there is only limited information about the actions that will be available at future stages. We introduce a framework where the controller sequentially chooses actions a0, a1, ... one at a time. Her goal is to maximize the probability that the infinite sequence a0, a1,... is an element of a subset G of the set of infinite sequences of natural numbers. The set G is assumed to be a Borel tail set. The controller's choices are restricted: having taken a sequence ht of actions prior to stage t, she must choose a decision at stage t from a restricted set A(ht) of natural number. The set A(ht) is chosen randomly from a distribution pt, independently over all time periods and past histories. We consider several information structures defined by how far into the future the controller knows what actions will be available. In the special case where all the action sets are singletons (and thus the controller is a dummy), Kolmogorov’s 0-1 law says that the probability for the goal to be reached is 0 or 1. We construct a number of counterexamples to show that in general the value of the control problem can be strictly between 0 and 1, and derive several sufficient conditions for the 0-1 "law" to hold.

10 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: Blow-up criteria for an SPDE model of chemotaxis Avi Mayorcas (TU Berlin) The seminar will take place on TUE, 14.3.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **Chemotaxis and related phenomena have been an active area of mathematical research since statistical and PDE models were first proposed by C. Patlak (’53) and E. Keller & L. Segel (’71). They are commonly studied through mean field PDE models and a common feature of these equations is the possibility of finite time blow-up under given model parameters. Recently it was shown that advection by a sufficiently strong relaxation enhancing vector field could suppress this blow up (Kiselev & Xu ’16, Iyer, Zlatos & Xu ’20). In this talk I will discuss new results (obtained with M. Tomašević) regarding criteria for the persistence of blow-up for an SPDE model of chemotaxis with stochastic advection. The noise we cover is of a form recently shown to be almost surely relaxation enhancing (Gess & Yaroslavtsev ’21) and closely related to those studied in recent works by Galeati, Flandoli and Luo.*

Care Colleghe, cari Colleghi, Segnalo che la prossima call Horizon Europe (HE) dedicata all’Azione Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) si aprirà il 12 aprile con scadenza il 13 settembre 2023. Le Postdoctoral Fellowships sono finanziamenti indirizzati a sostenere i progetti di giovani ricercatrici e ricercatori eccellenti, che lavorino in collaborazione con un docente Supervisor presso la Host Institution selezionata. Si rivolgono a scienziate e scienziati in possesso del titolo di dottore di ricerca da non più di otto anni. Iniziato nel 2021, il Programma HE ha visto un’attiva partecipazione dell’Ateneo, che ha conseguito ottimi risultati per numero di fellowship assegnate: nell’ultima call 2022, i cui esiti sono stati annunciati in questi giorni (All. 3 - Report Unipd – MSCA 2022), risultano 15 le proposte vincitrici e 13 quelle al momento collocate in lista di riserva. Dal 2014, nell’ambito dei programmi quadro Horizon 2020 e Horizon Europe, sono in totale 106 le ricercatrici e i ricercatori che hanno ottenuto una borsa Marie Skłodowska Curie con l’Università di Padova. Il report allegato illustra il numero di Dipartimenti coinvolti nelle candidature (Report Unipd – MSCA 2022). Tale successo si deve certamente anche alle iniziative promosse dall’Università che sostengono l’Azione, quali la MSCA MaRaThoN - Master your Research and Training Needs, un corso intensivo di preparazione alla scrittura di una proposta progettuale, che intende portare a Padova aspiranti Fellow di talento. Dal 2021, in HE, sono 21 le ricercatrici e i ricercatori partecipanti alla MSCA MaRaThoN ad aver ottenuto una fellowship e 15 ad aver ottenuto il riconoscimento “Seal of Excellence”. La nuova edizione del percorso formativo, che verrà organizzata in presenza dal 22 al 24 maggio 2023, è aperta a 40 potenziali "postdoctoral fellows" selezionati in base ai loro CV e proposal summary. L’Università sosterrà le spese di viaggio e alloggio alle candidate e ai candidati selezionati. Per partecipare, le interessate e gli interessati devono rispettare le condizioni di ammissibilità stabilite dal programma HE MSCA-PF (quali il possesso del titolo di dottore di ricerca da non più di otto anni) e la regola di mobilità indicata dalla call. Il termine per la presentazione delle candidature MSCA MaRaThoN è fissato alle ore 13.00 di martedì 4 aprile 2023. Tutte le informazioni sono disponibili al link https://www.unipd.it/en/msca-marathon23. La pagina contiene anche i nominativi dei docenti che negli scorsi anni si sono proposti quali Supervisor, decidendo di accogliere potenziali Fellow Marie Sklodowska-Curie nel proprio team di ricerca. Chi di voi avesse intenzione di ricoprire per la prima volta il ruolo di Supervisor, o di aggiornare i propri dati, può segnalarlo compilando il modulo on line: https://www.unipd.it/supervisor-form. Per maggiori dettagli sul bando MSCA-PF e sull’importanza dell’azione dei Supervisor nei progetti, vi invito a visionare la registrazione dell’incontro FOCUS ON MSCA – “Le Azioni MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships in Horizon Europe: Perché fare il supervisor?” (accesso con Single Sign On):https://elearning.unipd.it/ufficiserviziapplicazioni/mod/page/view.php?id=1 5936 Vi chiedo di collaborare attivamente alla diffusione dell’iniziativa, così da favorire la più ampia partecipazione dell’Ateneo al prossimo bando MSCA-PF.

expression of interest for mini-symposium on Graphical Models for Life Science
by Daniela De Canditiis 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, this is an invitation to express your interest in participating as a speaker at the following mini-symposium for the IMACS 2023 that will be in September in Rome *Site of Congress*: https://www.imacs2023.eu/index.php/IMACS2023/IMACS2023 *Title of the mini_symposium*: “Graphical Models for Life Science” *Organizers*: Claudia Angelini, Daniela De Canditiis and Italia De Feis (IAC-CNR) *Abstract*: Graphical models are an elegant framework for describing complex systems of random variables. The nodes represent variables, while the edges represent relationships among variables, such as conditional independence. Bayesian networks are direct acyclic graphs, while Markov networks are undirect graphs, both have undergone enormous development in the last decades. Graphical models are helpful for the statistical analysis of data in various domains. Recently, they are becoming strategic for life science, allowing us to infer relations among variables such as genes/proteins/diseases/. However, their use in life science opens novel challenges due to the amount and heterogeneity of the data. This Special Session is open to theoretical and methodological contributions and innovative applications in life science. All interested researchers are welcome to email one of the organizers by the 20th of March 2023.

Seminar by Alessandra Faggionato, on March 6th, Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance
by Alberto Chiarini 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the "Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance seminar" that will take place on March 6th, 2023 at 16.00, Room 1BC45 at the department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita". The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Alessandra Faggionato (Università La Sapienza) Title: Hydrodynamic limit of simple exclusion processes on point processes with random conductances Date and time: Monday, MARCH 6th at 16.00 Place: room 1BC45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83774362817?pwd=ZDZnRGdZZGpDNDRQd3pMQUw4NUx4dz09 available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We consider continuous-time random walks on a simple point process with random symmetric jump rates. The jump range can be unbounded. We assume some second-moment conditions and that the above randomness is left invariant by the action of the group G = R^d or G = Z^d. We then add the site-exclusion interaction, thus making the particle system a simple exclusion process. We show that, for almost all environments, under diffusive space-time rescaling the system exhibits a hydrodynamic limit in path space. The hydrodynamic equation is non-random and governed by the effective homogenized matrix D of the single random walk, which can be degenerate. The proof relies both on particle duality and on stochastic homogenization for a single random walk. We then focus on specific examples, including the simple exclusion process on Delaunay triangulations.

Seminario di Markus Fischer - 7 marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Giacomo Di Gesu 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Martedì 7 marzo, ore 14:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma. *Speaker: *Markus Fischer, Università di Padova *Title: *On correlated equilibria and mean field games *Abstract: *Mean field games are limit models for symmetric N-player games, as the number of players N tends to infinity. The prelimit models are usually solved in terms of Nash equilibria. A generalization of the notion of Nash equilibrium, due to Robert Aumann (1974, 1987), is that of correlated equilibrium. In a simple discrete setting, we will discuss correlated equilibria for mean field games and their connection with the underlying N-player games. We first consider equilibria in restricted strategies (Markov open-loop), where control actions depend only on time and a player's own state. In this case, N-player correlated equilibria are seen to converge to the mean field game limit and, conversely, correlated mean field game solutions induce approximate N-player correlated equilibria. We then discuss the problem of constructing approximate equilibria when deviating players have access to the aggregate system state. We also give an explicit example of a correlated mean field game solution not of Nash-type. Results (with L. Campi and Federico Cannerozzi) on a related notion of equilibrium in a diffusion-type setting will be mentioned as well.

Seminar Prof. Kostas Kardaras on "Portfolio choice under taxation and time constraints", 02/03/2023 at 4:30pm (fwd)
by Tiziano Vargiolu 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

****************************** WHEN? Thursday 2 March 2023 at 4:30pm WHERE? Room: 2BC60 - TORRE ARCHIMEDE, via Trieste 63, 35121 Padova (only in presence) WHO? Prof. Kostas Kardaras (LSE London) WHAT? Seminar on "Portfolio choice under taxation and time constraints" Abstract: We consider the problem of choosing an investment strategy that will maximise utility over distributions, under capital gains tax and constraints on the expected liquidation date. We show that the problem can be decomposed in two separate ones. The first involves choosing an optimal target distribution, while the second involves optimally realising this distribution via an investment strategy and stopping time. For the latter step, a variant of the Azema-Yor solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem is utilised, and its description is given very precisely in terms of solutions to algebraic equations.

Webinar PRISMA lunedì 6 marzo GUBINELLI-CALVIA
by Claudia Ceci 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Buongiorno a tutt* ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 6 marzo 2023, * *ore 16-17 Alessandro Calvia* *Titolo: *Stochastic filtering in a non-Markovian framework with predictable jump times. *Abstract:* Stochastic filtering is a classic branch of applied probability. Research on this subject began with the pioneering works of N. Wiener and R. E. Kalman; since then, it has vastly expanded in numerous directions and is still ongoing. The starting point of a stochastic filtering problem is a partially observed system, i.e., a model consisting of a signal (or unobserved) process and an observed process. The main goal is to compute an equation satisfied by the filter, which is the conditional distribution of the hidden signal given the available observation. To deduce filtering equations, classic models usually feature Markovian signal-observation pairs that may only have totally inaccessible jump times. In this talk I will present a non-Markovian model, with path-dependent coefficients, that also allows for predictable jump times both in the signal and in the observed process. These two features naturally arise in various applications and require some new ideas and non-trivial technical tools to be dealt with in the context of stochastic filtering. After providing some examples, I will deduce the filtering equation and, if time permits, I will discuss some possible future research. This is joint work with Elena Bandini and Katia Colaneri. *ore 17-18 **Massimiliano Gubinelli* *Titolo:* What is stochastic quantisation? *Abstract:* Euclidean quantum fields (EQFs) are probability measures on spaces of generalized functions on R^d out of which one can construct quantum field theories via a well understood procedure. Proving the existence of non-Gaussian Euclidean quantum fields in dimensions d=2,3 has been proved quite challenging, and informed the development of new mathematical techniques (logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, phase-space expansion, cluster and polymer expansions, renormalization group). More recently, also thanks to development in the theory of singular stochastic partial differential equations, the study of these probability measures has been taken on again, from the point of view of stochastic analysis. I will try to give a broad panorama of this stochastic approach, of his results and of the many open problems. As a result I would like to motivate the idea that stochastic quantisation should be seen as a novel kind of stochastic analysis adapted to situations, like EQFs, where stochastic calculus alone is not effective due to singular nature of the objects or the lack of a useful filtration.

OWPS Tomorrow: Alan Hammond and Tyler J. Helmuth
by Alberto Chiarini 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC, Alan Hammond and Tyler J. Helmuth will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Titles, abstracts and the zoom link are below the signature and will also be posted on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini and Adrián González Casanova ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk 1 : Alan Hammond (Berkeley) Title : Stake-governed random-turn games Abstract : Many combinatorial games, such as chess, Go and Hex, are zero-sum games in which two players alternate in making moves. In a random turn variant, each player wins the right to move at any given turn according to the flip of a fair coin. In 2007, Peres, Schramm, Sheffield and Wilson [PSSW] found explicit optimal strategies for a broad class of random-turn games, including Hex (which remains unsolved in its alternating-turn form on the 11-by-11 boards in which it is often played in tournaments). In this talk, we discuss stake-governed random-turn games, introduced recently in joint work with Gábor Pete. Two players of Hex are each given a certain limited budget at the outset of the game. At each turn, each stakes some part of what remains of her budget. The ensuing turn is random, with a player winning the right to move according to the proportion that her stake composes of the total stake at the turn. How much should a player stake at any given turn? Opposing pressures compete: stake too little, and lose the turn; too much, and be left with too little for later in the game. So this question concerns how to evaluate the relative strategic importance of intermediate positions in multi-turn games. We answer it for a class of games that are cousins of the random tug-of-war games introduced by PSSW in 2009; these authors forged a connection between game theory and the infinity Laplacian (which is an L^\infty counterpart to the usual L^2 Laplacian), and we will see how, in a discrete context at least, this connection extends to stake-governed random-turn games. Talk 2 : Tyler J. Helmuth (Durham University) Title : The Arboreal Gas Abstract : In Bernoulli bond percolation each edge of a graph is declared open with probability p, and closed otherwise. Typically one asks questions about the geometry of the random subgraph of open edges. The arboreal gas is the probability measure obtained by conditioning on the event that the percolation subgraph is a forest, i.e., contains no cycles. Physically, this is a model for studying the gelation of branched polymers. What are the percolative properties of these random forests? Do they contain giant trees? I will discuss what is known and conjectured.

Seminar in Statistics - Giovanni Rabitti & Thomas Berrett
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 3 Marzo 2023, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terranno i seguenti 2 seminari: ------------------------------------------------ Time: 11.00 - 12.00 Speaker: *Giovanni Rabitti* (Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh) Title: *Fantastic sensitivity measures and where to find them* Abstract: Data science and scientific modeling are extensively used to provide predictions for policy-making purposes. However, resulting communications need to be supported by a proper uncertainty quantification to assess variability in model predictions, by the identification of the key-uncertainty drivers. This information can be provided by statisticians with sensitivity analysis methods. Knowing the drivers of uncertainty supports effective policy-making. This talk is a guided tour in sensitivity analysis techniques and some recent results. In the first part of the talk, starting from the basics, local and global methods will be introduced. When the model is large (i.e. with many input variables), screening techniques are typically used to reduce the dimensionality of the scientific model and will be presented in the talk. In the second part of the talk, I will introduce cooperative games techniques to assess variable importance. I will present recent results on the computation on these importance measures, as well as their application to GAM models, to extreme value problems and to two actuarial pricing models. If there is time, I will introduce a game-theoretic interaction index for discovering subjects at higher identification risk. ------------------------------------------------ Time: 12.00 - 13.00 Speaker: *Thomas Berrett* (University of Warwick) Title: *Optimal nonparametric testing of Missing Completely At Random, and its connections to compatibility* Abstract: Given a set of incomplete observations, we study the nonparametric problem of testing whether data are Missing Completely At Random (MCAR). Our first contribution is to characterise precisely the set of alternatives that can be distinguished from the MCAR null hypothesis. This reveals interesting and novel links to the theory of Frechet classes (in particular, compatible distributions) and linear programming, that allow us to propose MCAR tests that are consistent against all detectable alternatives. We define an incompatibility index as a natural measure of ease of detectability, establish its key properties, and show how it can be computed exactly in some cases and bounded in others. Moreover, we prove that our tests can attain the minimax separation rate according to this measure, up to logarithmic factors. Our methodology does not require any complete cases to be effective, and is available in the R package MCARtest. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire entrambi i seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88246009718?pwd=UnVxL2R5RThwQllDbWVnbTdRNGVMUT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminar by Dr. Piero Mazzarisi.
by Giorgio Rizzini 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following seminar by Dr. Piero Mazzarisi (University of Siena) on Tuesday, February 28th 2023 starting from 11:00 in room 4026 at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan). *Realized Random Graphs, with an application to the Interbank Network* *Piero Mazzarisi* Department of Economics and Statistics University of Siena *Abstract:* This work introduces a new econometric methodology to infer dynamic network models driven by latent state variables. The main idea is to obtain a noisy representation of the state variables dynamics by computing a sequence of cross-sectional estimates of the network model at each point in time. The dynamic modeling of these cross-sectional estimates, that we name realized random graphs, transforms the original nonlinear state-space network model into a linear time-series model that can easily be estimated. Under the assumption that the network is dense, and of a mixed-membership blockmodel structure, we show that the model parameters and the unobservable state variables can be estimated at a super-consistent rate of convergence for large cross sections. By allowing for an extremely rich parameterization of the model in high dimensions, the proposed methodology describes the heterogeneous topology of real-world networks. We corroborate our findings by using this novel framework to estimate and forecast the dynamic common factors driving the evolution of the Italian electronic market of interbank deposits. *February 28th, 2023, 11:00 a.m.* *Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods* Aula Seminari 4026 - Building U7 (Fourth floor*)* *Bicocca degli Arcimboldi street, 8 – 20126 Milan* For further information, please write to *rosanna.grassi(a)unimib.it <rosanna.grassi(a)unimib.it>*

SPASS Seminars: M. Aleandri and M. Rehmeier
by Francesco Grotto 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar by Marco Rehmeier (U. Bielefeld) and Michele Aleandri (Sapienza), jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi. The seminars will take place on TUE, 28.2.2023 starting at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa. The seminars will also be broadcasted on Google Meet, follow the link below for the streaming. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass Marco Rehmeier (Bielefeld University), 14:00 Title: On nonlinear Markov Processes in the sense of McKean Abstract: We study nonlinear Markov processes in the sense of McKean and present a large new class of examples. Our notion of nonlinear Markov property is in McKean's spirit, but more general in order to include examples of such processes whose one-dimensional time marginals solve a nonlinear parabolic PDE, such as Burgers' equation, the porous media equation, or variants of the latter with transport-type drift. We show that the associated nonlinear Markov process is given by path laws of weak solutions to a corresponding distribution-dependent stochastic differential equation whose coefficients depend singularly (i.e. Nemytskii-type) on its one-dimensional time marginals. Moreover, we show that also for general nonlinear Markov processes, their path laws are uniquely determined by one-dimensional time marginals of suitable associated conditional path laws. Furthermore, we characterize the extremality of the curves of the one-dimensional time marginals of our nonlinear Markov Processes in the class of all solutions to the associated linearized PDE and, this way, obtain new interesting results also for the classical linear case. This is joint work with Michael Röckner. Michele Aleandri (Università di Roma La Sapienza), 15:00 Title: Opinion dynamics with Lotka-Volterra type interactions Abstract: We investigate a class of models for opinion dynamics in a population with two interacting families of individuals. Each family has an intrinsic mean field “Voter-like” dynamics which is influenced by interaction with the other family. The interaction terms describe a cooperative/conformist or competitive/nonconformist attitude of one family with respect to the other. We prove chaos propagation, i.e., we show that on any time interval [0; T], as the size of the system goes to infinity, each individual behaves independently of the others with transition rates driven by a macroscopic equation. We focus in particular on models with Lotka-Volterra type interactions, i.e., models with cooperative vs. competitive families. For these models, although the microscopic system is driven a.s. to consensus within each family, a periodic behaviour arises in the macroscopic scale. In order to describe fluctuations between the limiting periodic orbits, we identify a slow variable in the microscopic system and, through an averaging principle, we find a diffusion which describes the macroscopic dynamics of such variable on a larger time scale.

Mi presento
by Marco Zamparo 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

Buongiorno a tutti, da qualche ora sono parte di questa vostra lista. Questo breve messaggio è per presentarmi a quelli di voi che ancora non mi conoscono. Mi chiamo Marco Zamparo e sono un fisico teorico "pentito" che da qualche anno si occupa di probabilità e fisica statistica rigorosa. Allego un CV aggiornato per i curiosi. Sto lavorando al modello di pinning dei polimeri con Giambattista Giacomin (Université Paris Cité) e ai processi di rinnovo in ambiente random con Frank den Hollander (Universiteit Leiden). Sono inoltre interessato allo studio del gas di Lévy-Lorentz, del quale ho parzialmente caratterizzato le proprietà di trasporto. Ho un RTDA in fisica teorica e sono in cerca di una posizione in probabilità o fisica matematica per poter completare la "trasformazione". Dati i vincoli Gelmini sugli anni di precariato, sono costretto a considerare solo RTDB o nuovi RTT. Sono in possesso dell'abilitazione scientifica nazionale in fisica matematica (MAT/07) e a maggio chiederò quella in probabilità (MAT/06). Se qualcuno avesse piacere di conoscermi, sarei lieto di fare una presentazione o un seminario. Non vi rubo altro tempo. Grazie per l'attenzione! Buona settimana, Marco

The position is framed within the EU-funded project PRAESIIDIUM, in collaboration with an outstanding team of academic, medical and industrial partners from all over Europe. We will develop a prototype tool for real-time prediction of the pre-diabetic risk based on the integration of patient-specific mathematical models and a rich dataset of real-life data. The approach will rely on novel physics-informed machine learning (ML) techniques in order to overcome the limits of standard “black-box” ML practice, while reducing the computational time for simulating heavy numerical models and improving their prediction performances. *** About the position *** We look for candidates with a Ph.D. in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or related areas. The ideal candidate should have a solid background in mathematical modelling, ordinary and partial differential equations, dynamical systems, machine learning and/or related fields, good programming skills in R and/or Python and a strong commitment to fulfill research objectives. We offer a fixed-term position (initially for two years, with intent of prolongation) with an attractive salary, in line with Swiss standards and the candidate’s experience. *** About the application *** The instructions for the application, and other details of the call, can be found at the following link: https://www.supsi.ch/home_en/supsi/lavora-con-noi/2023-04-02-bando1850 Deadline: 2nd April 2023 *** About IDSIA *** IDSIA is a world-class research institute on AI founded in 1988, affiliated with both Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) and Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI). It counts more than 100 staff researchers and more than 40 Ph.D. students, active in the research areas of machine learning, optimisation and control, autonomous robotics, intelligent networked systems, geometric computing and vision, natural language processing and information retrieval.

OWPS Tomorrow: Frank den Hollander and Elena Pulvirenti
by Alberto Chiarini 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC, Frank den Hollander and Elena Pulvirenti will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Titles, abstracts and the zoom link are below the signature and will also be posted on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask for your help to share this message within your community. Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini and Adrián González Casanova ---------------------- Speakers: Frank den Hollander (Leiden) and Elena Pulvirenti (Delft) Talk 1 : Metastability for the Widom-Rowlinson model: I. Planar discs. Abstract We define the static Widom-Rowlinson model on a two-dimensional finite torus. The energy of a particle configuration is determined by its halo, defined as the union of unit discs centred at the positions of the particles. We discuss the metastable behaviour of a dynamic version of the model, in which particles are randomly created and annihilated as if the outside of the torus were an infinite reservoir with a given chemical potential. We start with the empty torus and are interested in the first time when the torus is fully covered by unit discs. This can be viewed as the crossover time from a ‘gas phase’ to a ‘liquid phase’. We consider the metastable regime where the temperature is low and the chemical potential is supercritical. In order to achieve the transition from empty to full, the system needs to create a sufficiently large droplet, called critical droplet, which triggers the crossover. It turns out that the critical droplet is close to a disc of a certain deterministic radius, with a boundary that is random and consists of a large number of unit discs that stick out by a small distance. We show how an analysis of the surface fluctuations allows us to derive both a volume term and a surface term in the asymptotics of the average crossover time. Based on joint work with Sabine Jansen (Munich) and Roman Kotecký (Prague). Talk 2 : Metastability for the Widom-Rowlinson model: II. Grains of general shape. Abstract We investigate what happens when the planar discs are replaced by convex grains in arbitrary dimensions whose shape may be random. We identify the size and the shape of the critical droplet as a function of the shape distribution for the grains. We also identify the volume term in the asymptotics of the average crossover time. In addition, we speculate about the surface term, formulating a conjecture about what it should look like. There are various interesting subcases, showing that the shape of the grains has a rather delicate influence on the critical droplet and the average crossover time. Based on joint work with Yogesh Dhandapani (Bangalore) and Roman Kotecký (Prague).

Buongiorno, si trasmette il link per seguire il seminario di Luisa Andreis (Politecnico di Milano) tramite Zoom: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84073069369 Martedì 14 Febbraio, ore 14:00 Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Title: *Rare events in sparse random graphs *Abstract:* Rare events for dense random graphs are well described using the theory of large deviations and graphons. When graphs are sparse the picture is less clear, objects that describe globally the graphs and their limits, as graphons do for dense graphs, have not been defined yet. Nevertheless we do have information on how these graphs look like when explored locally from a vertex and this, under some assumptions, gives also information on global properties. In this talk we will give an overview on what is known on rare events in this regime, focusing in particular on large deviation statements on connected components in inhomogeneous random graphs and on links with coagulation processes. This talk is based on joint works with Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer, Heide Langhammer, Elena Magnanini and Robert Patterson (WIAS).

by Elisa Varini 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

Dear all, we are glad to inform you that it is now possible to pay the registration fee (by bank transfer or credit card) for the Applied Bayesian Statistics ABS23 which will be held in Firenze (Italy) on June, 12-16, 2023. Website: http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs23/ The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), this year in cooperation with the Florence Center for Data Science and the Department of Statistics, Computer Science and Applications at the University of Firenze. The topic will be BAYESIAN CAUSAL INFERENCE. The lecturer will be FAN LI (Duke University, https://scholars.duke.edu/person/fli) with the support by researchers at the University of Firenze. The University of Firenze can issue a certificate stating that the course is worth 3 ECTS credits. Interested students can write to abs23(a)mi.imati.cnr.it Once you register on the school website: http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs23/ you will receive an email with the link to pay by credit card as well as the information on payment by bank transfer (please note that the early registration fee is available until April, 15th, 2023). Please note that only a very limited number of seats is still available and that Firenze is a very popular tourist place, so that it is better to make arrangements as soon as possible. More details about accommodation are available in the ABS23 website. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and the state-of-the-art methods for causal inference under the potential outcomes framework, with an emphasis on the Bayesian inferential paradigm. Topics will cover randomized experiments, common methods for observational studies, such as propensity score, matching, weighting and doubly-robust estimation, heterogeneous treatment effects, sensitivity analysis, instrumental variables, principal stratification, panel data methods, and longitudinal treatments. Recent advances related to high dimensional analysis and machine learning will be naturally incorporated into the discussion. All methods will be illustrated via real world case studies. We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Firenze next year. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS23

SPASS Seminar: Lihan Wang
by Francesco Grotto 08 Feb '23

08 Feb '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: Accelerate Sampling Using Birth-Death Dynamics Lihan Wang (Carnigie-Mellon University, Max Planck Institute Leipzig) The seminar will take place on TUE, 14.2.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: *In this talk, I will discuss the birth-death dynamics for sampling multimodal probability distributions, which is the spherical Hellinger gradient flow of relative entropy. The advantage of the birth-death dynamics is that, unlike any local dynamics such as Langevin dynamics, it allows global movement of mass directly from one mode to another, without the difficulty of going through low probability regions. We prove that the birth death dynamics converges to the unique invariant measure with a uniform rate under some mild conditions, showing its potential of overcoming metastability. We will also show that on torus, the kernelized dynamics, which is used for numerical simulation, Gamma-converges to the idealized dynamics as the kernel bandwidth shrinks to zero. Joint work with Yulong Lu (UMass Amherst) and Dejan Slepcev (CMU).

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. Nikolai Leonenko School of Mathematics, Cardiff University, UK TITOLO Multiscaling, Intermittency and large deviation in limit theorems for superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes Abstract Superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type (supOU) processes provide a rich class of stationary stochastic processes for which the marginal distribution and the dependence structure may be modeled independently [1,2]. We investigate the limiting behavior of integrated supOU processes with finite variance[3,4,6] (see also [7] for multifaced behaviour of supOU processes in the case the infinite variance). We show that after suitable normalization four different limiting processes may arise. The type of limit depends on the decay of the correlation function as well as on the characteristic triplet of the marginal distribution. supOU processes, moreover, may exhibit intermittency, a phenomenon affecting the rate of growth of moments[3,4,5,6,8]. The intermittency phenomenon appears also in some other models, for example, in the subclass of ambit processes[2] known as trawl processes [5]. Joint work with D.

07 Feb '23

The One World Probability Seminar is back! This Semester it will take place every other Wednesday form 15:00 to 17:00 UTC. You can find more information on the web site: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 15th of February from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC. Our next speakers are: Frank den Hollander (Leiden) and Elena Pulvirenti (Delft) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Frank den Hollander (Leiden) and Elena Pulvirenti (Delft) Talk 1 : Metastability for the Widom-Rowlinson model: I. Planar discs. Abstract We define the static Widom-Rowlinson model on a two-dimensional finite torus. The energy of a particle configuration is determined by its halo, defined as the union of unit discs centred at the positions of the particles. We discuss the metastable behaviour of a dynamic version of the model, in which particles are randomly created and annihilated as if the outside of the torus were an infinite reservoir with a given chemical potential. We start with the empty torus and are interested in the first time when the torus is fully covered by unit discs. This can be viewed as the crossover time from a ‘gas phase’ to a ‘liquid phase’. We consider the metastable regime where the temperature is low and the chemical potential is supercritical. In order to achieve the transition from empty to full, the system needs to create a sufficiently large droplet, called critical droplet, which triggers the crossover. It turns out that the critical droplet is close to a disc of a certain deterministic radius, with a boundary that is random and consists of a large number of unit discs that stick out by a small distance. We show how an analysis of the surface fluctuations allows us to derive both a volume term and a surface term in the asymptotics of the average crossover time. Based on joint work with Sabine Jansen (Munich) and Roman Kotecký (Prague). Talk 2 : Metastability for the Widom-Rowlinson model: II. Grains of general shape. Abstract We investigate what happens when the planar discs are replaced by convex grains in arbitrary dimensions whose shape may be random. We identify the size and the shape of the critical droplet as a function of the shape distribution for the grains. We also identify the volume term in the asymptotics of the average crossover time. In addition, we speculate about the surface term, formulating a conjecture about what it should look like. There are various interesting subcases, showing that the shape of the grains has a rather delicate influence on the critical droplet and the average crossover time. Based on joint work with Yogesh Dhandapani (Bangalore) and Roman Kotecký (Prague).

Annuncio Seminario Sapienza - 9 Febbraio ore 16:00
by Lorenzo Taggi 05 Feb '23

05 Feb '23

Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma, Sala di Consiglio Giovedì 9 Febbraio 2023, ore 16:00 *Speaker:* Daniel Ueltschi, University of Warwick *Title*: Quantum spin chains, loop representations, dimerisation *Abstract:* In contrast to their classical counterparts, one-dimensional quantum spin systems are interesting, they have intriguing behaviour, and they are difficult to study. I will describe a family of systems with nearest-neighbour interactions and O(n) symmetry. Its ground state phase diagram is expected to have a rich structure. For large spins it is possible to prove the occurrence of dimerisation in an open domain. The proof involves a loop representation and the method of cluster expansions. This is joint work with Jakob Bjornberg, Peter Muhlbacher, and Bruno Nachtergaele.

Seminar: Giovanni Conforti at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 1st, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Giovanni Conforti (École Polytechnique) with the seminar "A probabilistic approach to exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm" Abstract: The entropic optimal transport problem (EOT) is obtained adding an entropic regularisation term in the cost function of the Monge-Kantorovich problem and is nowadays regularly employed in machine learning applications as a more tractable and numerically more stable version of the optimal transport problem. On the other hand, E.Schrödinger asked back in 1931 the question of finding the most likely evolution of a cloud of independent Brownian particles conditionally to observations. The mathematical formulation of his question through large deviations theory is known as the Schrödinger problem and turns out to be fully equivalent to EOT. In this talk, I shall illustrate both viewpoints and then move on to sketch the ideas of a probabilistic method to show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm, whose application the heart of the recent successful applications of EOT in statistical machine learning and beyond. In particular, we shall discuss how the proposed method opens new perspective for showing exponential convergence for marginal distribution that are non compactly supported. We encourage in-person partecipation.

SPASS Seminar: Elia Bisi and Michele Coghi
by Gianmarco Bet 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following (double) SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstracts below): Matrix Whittaker processes Elia Bisi (TU Wien) and Rough McKean-Vlasov dynamics for robust ensemble Kalman filtering Michele Coghi (Università di Trento) The seminars will take place on TUE, 7.2.2023 respectively at 14:00 CET and 15:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- Matrix Whittaker processes Abstract: Our journey starts from interacting random walks with push-and-block dynamics. We then consider their positive temperature analogues, touching upon polymer partition functions. Finally, we arrive at matrix Whittaker processes, which are integrable models of interacting Markov dynamics on matrix spaces. Our main tools are intertwining relations and the theory of Markov functions, which we will review. This talk is based on a joint work with Jonas Arista and Neil O’Connell: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14868. Rough McKean-Vlasov dynamics for robust ensemble Kalman filtering Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of incorporating data into misspecified and multiscale dynamical models, we study a McKean-Vlasov equation that contains the data stream as a common driving rough path. This setting allows us to prove well-posedness as well as continuity with respect to the driver in an appropriate rough-path topology. The latter property is key in our subsequent development of a robust data assimilation methodology: We establish propagation of chaos for the associated interacting particle system, which in turn is suggestive of a numerical scheme that can be viewed as an extension of the ensemble Kalman filter to a rough-path framework. Finally, we discuss a data-driven method based on subsampling to construct suitable rough path lifts and demonstrate the robustness of our scheme in a number of numerical experiments related to parameter estimation problems in multiscale contexts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gianmarco Bet (he/him) Senior researcher https://gianmarco.bet Phone: (+39) 055 2751491 Department of Mathematics and Informatics "U.

Webinar PRISMA 6 febbraio 23 : Di Crescenzo-Cappelletti
by Claudia Ceci 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Buongiorno a tutte/i, ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA ( http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedi’ 6 febbraio 2023* *ore 16-17 Antonio Di Crescenzo* *Titolo: *You can model so many things with birth-death processes *Abstract:* Birth-death processes constitute the continuous-time analog of random walks, and are largely adopted as a tool for stochastic modeling. Indeed, the richness of the birth and death rates allows modeling a variety of phenomena, ranging from evolutionary dynamics and neuronal modeling, to queueing and reliability theory, for instance. Various methods of analysis have been developed for determining quantities of interest, such as stationary distributions and first-passage-time distributions. The talk is aimed at providing a review of some recent results on growth-evolution models characterized by time-dependent growth rates and their stochastic counterpart described by birth-death processes. The analysis focuses on generalizations of the Gompertz and logistic growth models, and on the related birth-death processes having linear and quadratic rates. A diffusion approximation leading to a time-inhomogeneous geometric Brownian motion is also treated. We also present certain generalizations involving extended birth-death processes on a star-graph defined as a lattice formed by the integers of semiaxes joined at the origin. Specifically, we deal with (i) the analysis of the transient and asymptotic behavior of a multispecies birth-death-immigration process and of a continuous-time multi-type Ehrenfest model, (ii) the construction and the study of suitable diffusion approximations for the considered models, leading to two processes belonging to the class of Pearson diffusions on the spider. *ore 17-18* *Daniele Cappelletti* *Titolo: * Solving the chemical recurrence conjecture in two dimensions *Abstract:* Stochastic reaction networks are continuous-time Markov chains typically used in biology, epidemiology, and population dynamics. The goal is to keep track of the abundance of the different reactants over time. What makes them special from a mathematical point of view is the fact that their qualitative dynamics is described by a finite set of allowed transformation rules, referred to as "reaction graph". A long-standing conjecture is that models with a reaction graph composed by a union of strongly connected components are necessarily positive recurrent, meaning that each single state is positive recurrent. In my talk I will discuss why the conjecture makes intuitive sense and why it is difficult to prove it. I will then show how my collaborators and I adapted Forster-Lyapunov techniques to prove the conjecture in two dimensions.

SPASS Seminar: Dejun Luo
by Francesco Grotto 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Convergence rates and CLT for stochastic inviscid Leray-model with transport noise* *Dejun Luo* (Chinese Academy of Science) The seminar will take place on TUE, 31.1.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *The stochastic inviscid Leray- model perturbed by multiplicative transport noise is considered on the torus. Under a suitable scaling of the noise, it is shown that the weak solutions converge, in some negative Sobolev spaces, to the unique solution of the deterministic viscous Leray- model. Interpreting such limit result as a law of large numbers, we also study the underlying central limit theorem and provide an explicit convergence rate. This talk is based on a joint work with PhD Bin Tang.*

Seminario Prof. E. Ronchetti
by Enea Bongiorno 24 Jan '23

24 Jan '23

Buongiorno, con piacere segnalo il seguente seminario: -------------------------------- 31 gennaio ore 16.30 - aula 101, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Title: *An Introduction to Saddlepoint Approximations* *Prof. Elvezio Ronchetti* Research Center for Statistics and Geneva School of Economics and Management University of Geneva, Switzerland Elvezio.Ronchetti(a)unige.ch www.unige.ch/gsem/en/research/faculty/honorary-professors/elvezio-ronchetti/ Abstract: Classical inference in statistics is typically carried out by means of standard (first-order) asymptotic theory. However, the asymptotic distribution of estimators and test statistics can provide a poor approximation of tail areas especially when the sample size is moderate to small. This can lead to inaccurate p-values and confidence intervals. Several techniques, both parametric and nonparametric, have been devised to improve first-order asymptotic approximations, including e.g. Edgeworth expansions, Bartlett's corrections, and bootstrap methods. Here we focus on saddlepoint techniques, introduced into statistics by H. Daniels, and more generally on small sample asymptotic techniques, an expression coined by F. Hampel to express the spirit of these methods. Indeed they provide very accurate approximations of tail probabilities down to small sample sizes and /or out in the tails. Moreover, these approximations exhibit a relative error of order 1/n, an improvement with respect to other available approximations obtained by means of Edgeworth expansions and similar techniques. We will review the basic ideas, show the link with other nonparametric methods such as empirical likelihood, and outline some connections to information theory and optimal transportation. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1INut-6sD210FwZ437k3ydQA5P3xchdIr/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminar Klopp @Bocconi

23 Jan '23

We announce the following seminar (held only in person): 26/01/2023 at 12:00 Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, Milan Room 3-B3-sr01, floor 3 Speaker: Olga Klopp (ESSEC and CREST). Personal webapge: http://kloppolga.perso.math.cnrs.fr/ Title: Optimality of Variational Inference for Stochastic Block Model Abstract: Variational methods are extremely popular in the analysis of network data. Statistical guarantees obtained for these methods typically provide asymptotic normality for the problem of estimation of global model parameters under the stochastic block model. In the present work, we consider the case of networks with missing links that is important in application and show that the variational approximation to the maximum likelihood estimator converges at the minimax rate. This provides the first minimax optimal and tractable estimator for the problem of parameter estimation for the stochastic block model. We complement our results with numerical studies of simulated and real networks, which confirm the advantages of this estimator over current methods.

IEEE MetroLivEnv 2023 - Special Session PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY
by Antonella Iuliano 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Dear Colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 2023 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT that will be held at the Politecnico di Milano, (Italy), 29 - 31 May, 2023. The following Special Session is open to receive your submissions. PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY The application of metrology related to living environment plays an important role in many applicative contexts to understand and identify sources of variability and to minimise their influence. There is a lack of probabilistic and machine learning approaches in this field; therefore this session aims at covering this aspect. Probability Theory and Statistics provide powerful tools for the development of new mathematical models to describe real life phenomena. One of the most significant advantages of the probabilistic modeling is that it gives a comprehensive understanding of the uncertainty associated with a measurement result. Therefore, the goal of this session is to gather recent advancements with promising future perspectives on the application of mathematical models, in areas such as health care and environmental, to improve the quality of life. Website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/special-session-4 *Important deadlines:* *Extended Abstract Submission Deadline* January 31, 2023 *Extended Abstract Acceptance Notification* March 15, 2023 *Final Paper Submission Deadline* April 15, 2023 *Conference Dates* May 29-31, 2023 For further information and updates please visit the conference website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/ We are looking forward to Welcome you in Milan! Do not hesitate to forward this message to anyone who could be interested. Thank you very much for your kind consideration, and apologies for multiple copies. We look forward to hearing from you.

Seminario Prof. Leonenko
by Enrica Pirozzi 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

**** AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. Nikolai Leonenko School of Mathematics, Cardiff University, UK TITOLO: Limit theorems for the first Minkowski functional of Gaussian spatiotemporal random fields with long-memory Abstract The paper [1] addresses the asymptotic analysis of sojourn functionals of spatiotemporal Gaussian random fields with long-range dependence (LRD) in time also known as long memory. Specifically, reduction theorems are derived for local functionals of nonlinear transformation of such fields, with Hermite rank m ? 1, under general covariance structures. These results are proven to hold, in particular, for a family of non?separable covariance structures belonging to Gneiting class. For m = 1, under some general condition on covariance structure of spatiotemporal random field with long memory in time, the properly normalized first Minkowski functional converge in distribution to the normal law. For m = 2, under separability of the spatiotemporal covariance function in space and time, the properly normalized Minkowski functional, involving the modulus of a Gaussian random field, converges in distribution to the Rosenblatt type limiting distribution for a suitable range of the long memory parameter. Some other related results can be found in [2,3]. For spatiotemporal isotropic stationary fields on sphere similar results obtained in Marinucci et al. [4] This is joint results with M.D.Ruiz-Medina (Granada University, Spain).

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - *talks: Speaker: *Eliseo Luongo* (SNS Pisa) *Title:* A stochastic particle approximation approach of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with vorticity generation. (See Abstract below.) Speaker: *Francesco Grotto *(Univ. di Pisa) *Title:* Area Excursions and nodal Leray measures for Random Waves on hyperbolic space. (See Abstract below.) Date and Time: *Monday January 23, 14:30-16:30 (Rome time zone)* Place: *Aula 3014,* *Dip. di Matematica e Applicazioni, Univ. di Milano-Bicocca*, via R. Cozzi 55, Milano *Webex link:https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=m4a814f4cfe7e7a7ace5ef5e… <https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=m4a814f4cfe7e7a7ace5ef5e4d3f6…>* *Meeting number:* 2743 324 2093 *Password:*YPiMid9rP83 *-* *Abstract (Luongo)*: Particle approximation of 2D Navier-Stokes equations is a relevant problem in fluid dynamics with consequences also in its numerical analysis. The problem is essentially solved in the case of domains without boundary, but it remains mostly open in the case of no-slip boundary conditions, due to the difficulty of understanding and modeling generation of vorticity close to the boundary. The solution of this problem could have a deep impact in our understanding of turbulence. In this talk we present a stochastic particle approximation method which allows us to treat 2D Navier-Stokes equations in the case of prescribed vorticity generation. Our approach is almost completely functional analytic based. Moreover we obtain finer convergence results to the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations compared to propagation of chaos techniques. The talk is based on a joint work with F. Grotto and M. Maurelli. *Abstract (Grotto):* Focusing on the asymptotic behavior of a couple of relevant geometric functionals, we will discuss analogies and differences between random wave models on hyperbolic space and other geometric settings on which the related theory is by now well-established. Based on joint work with Giovanni Peccati. - These talks are part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico. Participation is free and welcome!
