Seminar in Statistics GONZALO MENA

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 26 Novembre 2021, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Gonzalo Mena *(University of Oxford) Title: *On the unreasonable effectiveness of Sinkhorn algorithm for learning permutations and entropic optimal transport* Abstract: Sinkhorn's algorithm realizes the solution of entropy-regularized linear programs on certain matrix polytopes. In the past years, the interest in this algorithm has grown considerably because of its usefulness as a tool for the modeling of permutations, and because of its fundamental role in the solution of an entropic optimal transport problem, also called the Schrödinger bridge. In this talk, I will give an overview of my work in relation to these two areas. First, regarding entropic optimal transport, I will argue that this tool is valuable for deriving sensible statistical procedures. Indeed, we show that it enjoys a substantially better sample complexity compared to optimal transport, which suffers from the curse of dimensionality. Also, in the more applied setup of model-based clustering we show that it can be used as an alternative to the log-likelihood, since it has fewer bad local optima. Based on this observation, we develop a new algorithm, Sinkhorn-EM, in which we only modify the E-step to solve an Entropic Optimal Transport problem. Our algorithm is shown to attain better practical performance. Second, regarding permutations, I will describe some successful applications in Deep Learning, and in neuroscience, for the inference of neural identities in C.elegans worms.

The performance of PET-ABC was compared with weighted non-linear least squares (WNLS) in terms of reliability of kinetic parameter estimation and statistical power for model selection. Dynamic PET data based on 1-tissue and 2-tissue compartmental models were simulated with 2 noise models and 3 noise levels. PET-ABC was used to evaluate the reliability of parameter estimates under each condition. It was also used to perform model selection for a simulated noisy dataset composed of a mixture of 1- and 2-tissue compartment kinetics. Finally, PET-ABC was used to analyze a non-steady state dynamic study performed on a fully conscious rat administered either 2 mg.kg-1 amphetamine or saline 20 min after tracer injection.

Seminar by Sergio Pulido in Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Sergio Pulido (École Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique pour l'Industrie et l'Entreprise) will give a talk at our Department. Date: 24 November 12:00 CET. Title: American options in the rough Heston model Abstract: Rough volatility models have emerged as compelling alternatives to classical semimartingale models to capture important stylized features of the implied volatility surface and the time series of realized volatility. The rough Heston model is particularly appealing because its affine structure facilitates the pricing of European options using Fourier techniques. In this work we consider the problem of pricing American options in the rough Heston model. The complexity of the problem stems from the absence of a Markovian-semimartingale structure in the model. To overcome this difficulty we work with a Markovian multi-factor semimartingale stochastic volatility model, which approximates the rough Heston model. In this approximated model, American options can be priced using a backward approach and simulation-based methods. We prove the convergence of American options prices in the multi-factor model towards the prices in the rough Heston model. The proof relies on the explicit expression of the conditional characteristic function of the joint forward process and the spot price, which is a consequence of the affine structure of the model. We illustrate with some numerical examples the behavior of American option prices with respect to some parameters in the model. This is joint work with Etienne Chevalier and Elizabeth Zuniga.

Online Quantitative Finance Seminars @SNS, November 25, 2021 and December 10, 2021
by Giulia Livieri 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Dear all, We would like to announce the following two Online Seminars @SNS: *November 25, 2021 at 4PM (CEST)* *Speaker: *Dr. Andrea Barbon (HSG) [webpage: http://www.abarbon.com/] *Title: *On The Quality Of Cryptocurrency Markets Centralized Versus Decentralized Exchanges (joint work with Prof. Angelo Ranaldo (HSG)). *Abstract: * Despite the growing adoption of decentralized exchanges, not much is yet known about their market quality. To shed some light on this issue, we study cryptocurrencies by comparing decentralized blockchain-based venues (DEX) to centralized crypto exchanges (CEX) by assessing two key aspects of market quality: price efficiency and market liquidity. Using a novel and comprehensive data set, we find that overall CEX provide better market quality but CEX becomes competitive if transaction costs exceed 100,000$. Further, the main determinant of the lower price-efficiency of DEX is the high gas price stemming from proof-of work blockchains. We propose and empirically validate a stylized theory of DEX liquidity provision, which links trading volumes, protocol fees, and liquidity in equilibrium. Our model prefigures the possible scenarios of efficiency paths for DEX to overtake CEX. *Link: * https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDFlZmJkNDItYmVlNC00… ======================================================================== *December 10, 2021 at 3PM (CEST)* *Speaker: *Prof. Agostino Capponi (Columbia University) *Title: * The Adoption of Blockchain-based Decentralized Exchanges (joint work with Dr. Ruizhe Jia) *Abstract: *We show that the blockchain order execution mechanism and liquidity pooling create arbitrage rents in decentralized exchanges. The arbitrage rent raises the cost of liquidity provision and imposes negative externalities on users of the underlying blockchain. In equilibrium, automated market makers (AMMs) are adopted by liquidity providers only if exchange rates of token pairs are sufficiently stable. A pricing curve with higher curvature reduces arbitrage rents, but also decreases trading activities. We provide statistical support for our main model implications using transaction-level data of AMMs. *Link: * https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NjAyODk0YzQtNmVmYS00… We are looking forward to seeing you at the seminars!

Webinar Schlather @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 18 November 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Martin Schlather (University of Mannheim) Title: A Generalized Approach to Principal Component Analysis Abstract: Principal Component Analysis is a well known procedure to reduce intrinsic complexity of a standardized data set, essentially through simplifying the correlation structure. We provide a substantial extension based on semi-groups, which includes distributions without second moments. We reformulate the PCA as a best low rank approximation defined through a regression problem, which is closely connected to autoencoders and admits solutions under mild assumptions. As a specific example, we apply our general formulation to extreme value distributions. In this case solving the regression problem reduces to a tractable and practically solvable problem for real datasets. As a side effect of our general approach, the perspective on uncorrelated variables is inverted: the assertion that the covariance is zero is not the definition, but a corollary; the fact that uncorrelated variables need not be independent is not a warning, but intrinsic to the definition. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/91941945297?pwd=VGhFVGc5OUVHUUFXQ2tlK0xQWkV… Meeting ID: 919 4194 5297 Passcode: 932042 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

Fwd: [owps] OWPS, November 18th : Ivan Nourdin & Giovanni Peccati on the Malliavin-Stein method and the geometry of random fields
by Anna Vidotto 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Cari colleghi, scusandomi delle eventuali ripetizioni vi segnalo il prossimo One World Probability Seminar che sarà tenuto da Ivan Nourdin e Giovanni Peccati. Grazie per l'attenzione, Anna Vidotto ------------------------ Anna Vidotto, PhD Assistant Professor in Probability (RTD-A) Dipartimento di Economia Università degli Studi "G. D'Annunzio" Chieti-Pescara https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: [owps] OWPS, November 18th : Ivan Nourdin & Giovanni Peccati on the Malliavin-Stein method and the geometry of random fields Data: 2021-11-04 21:43 Mittente: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Destinatario: owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk Dear probabilists, The next session of OWPS will be two weeks from now, on November 18th from 14:00 to 15:45 UTC. Please beware the winter/summer time changes depending on your location. Ivan Nourdin and Giovanni Peccati will talk of the Malliavin-Stein method and the geometry of random fields. Titles, abstracts and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar [1]. Probabilistically yours, Bastien Mallein and Sébastien Martineau ----------------------- The Breuer-Major theorem: old and new Ivan Nourdin The celebrated Breuer-Major theorem is a central limit theorem for a sum of elements of the form $f(X_k)$, where $f : R \to R$ is a given function and $X$ is a Gaussian stationary sequence with unit variance. In my talk, I will introduce the so-called Malliavin-Stein method, and I will then use it to investigate different problems related to the Breuer-Major theorem. Wiener chaos and the geometry of random fields Giovanni Peccati I will present some recent applications of Gaussian analysis techniques (related in particular to Wiener chaos and the Malliavin-Stein method) to the study of level sets of Gaussian random waves - with special emphasis on models defined on two-dimensional manifolds, like the plane, the 2-torus and the sphere. In the Euclidean case, our results can be encoded in the general framework of the Breuer-Major theorem described in the first talk of the session. Several open questions will be presented along the way. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81689646469?pwd=cWI1V0NWeUJJSzJKa0tLWkMyVDdaQT09 [2] Meeting ID: 816 8964 6469 Passcode: 963950 If you are having trouble with zoom, or if the capacity of the zoom room gets exceeded, you can also access to the Youtube live stream at the channel of the seminar: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiLiEQGTp6bZEhuHDM-WNWQ [3] Links: ------ [1] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro… [2] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.z… [3] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…

(PMS)^2 online talk: Laura Monk [Nov 22, 5:30pm]
by Maurizia Rossi 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Laura Monk* (Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik, Bonn) Title: The spectral gap of random compact hyperbolic surfaces *Abstract*: The focus of this talk will be the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact hyperbolic surface, also called its spectral gap. Similarly to expanders for graphs, surfaces with a large spectral gap are well-connected, and have good mixing properties. In spite of significant effort in the last 35 years, we have failed to construct examples of large surfaces with an optimal spectral gap. In this talk, *based on joint work with Nalini Anantharaman*, I will explain how a new probabilistic approach has led to great progress in this question in recent years. Rather than trying to exhibit examples, we now aim at showing that random surfaces have a large spectral gap with probability close to one. This requires us to have a good model to sample random surfaces, and I will briefly introduce two such models. Date and time: Monday *November 22, 5:30pm-6:30pm* (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2940008616 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability & Mathematical Statistics *organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons).

Seminars in Florence: Magnanini and Iyer
by Luisa Andreis 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, we are pleased to invite you to the following two seminars (on site) on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, at the University of Florence. The room is the Aula Magna, building Morgagni 65 (ex Farmacologia), Viale Morgagni 65, 50134, Firenze. Time: 11:45-12:45 Speaker: Elena Magnanini, WIAS Berlin Title: LIMIT THEOREMS FOR THE EDGE DENSITY IN EXPONENTIAL RANDOM GRAPHS Abstract: In the present talk we focus on the derivation of some asymptotic properties for the family of exponential random graphs. This model can be seen as the generalization of the dense Erdӧs-Rényi random graph and follows the statistical mechanics approach of defining a Hamiltonian to weight the probability measure on the space of graphs, assigning higher mass to graphs with “desirable” properties. In particular our analysis will be focused on the edge-triangle model, a two-parameter family of exponential random graphs where the Hamiltonian only includes edge and triangle densities. We borrow tools from statistical mechanics together with large deviations techniques to obtain limit theorems for the edge density in the so-called replica symmetric regime, where the limiting free energy of the model is known together with a complete characterization of the phase diagram. First, we determine the asymptotic distribution of the edge density, as the graph size n tends to infinity, in the entire replica symmetric regime. In particular, we obtain a strong law of large numbers when the parameters are chosen outside the critical curve and the convergence to a mixture of Dirac measures whenever working on the critical curve. We then study the fluctuations of the edge density around its average for all parameter values outside the critical curve and off the critical point and we formulate conjectures about the behavior at criticality based on the analysis of a mean-field approximation of the model. Joint work with Alessandra Bianchi and Francesca Collet. Time: 14:15-15:15 Speaker: Tejas Iyer, WIAS Berlin Title: CONDENSATION IN PREFERENTIAL ATTACHMENT TREES WITH NEIGHBOURHOOD INFLUENCE Abstract: Motivated by the structure of complex networks such as the internet, we consider a growing model of preferential attachment trees with neighbourhood influence, where vertices arrive one at a time, are equipped with independent weights, and connect to existing vertices with probability proportional to their fitness function: a function of their own weight and the weights of their neighbours. In this model we prove almost sure limiting statements for the proportion of vertices with a given degree having weight belonging to a given measurable set, and the proportion of edges in the tree with endpoint belonging to a measurable set. We show that under certain conditions, the latter quantity demonstrates a condensation phenomenon, in which a positive proportion of edges in the network accumulate among those of weight that confers maximal reinforcement of fitness. Finally, we derive almost sure limiting statements for the log of the degree of a fixed vertex in this model, and prove that in this model the degree distribution behaves like a power law - a ubiquitous feature of many real-world complex networks. According to the current regulations to prevent the spread of Coronavirus the Green pass is mandatory to access the venue and contact tracing will be done.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar  that will take place on November 26 at 14.30, at the Department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita”, University of Padova. The seminar may also be attended online via the Zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Università di Roma La Sapienza)  Title: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models  NOVEMBER 26 (Friday) - 14:30 In presence: room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, Via Trieste 63, Padova Online: Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88496035657 (meeting ID 884 9603 5657) , available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ 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 (Cambridge) and Amanda Turner (Lancaster). On behalf of the organizers, Marco Formentin

Si avvisa che in data 25-11-2021, alle ore 14:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Federico Ferraccioli, Università degli Studi di Padova Titolo: Eigen sign-flip test for semiparametric regression Sommario: In this seminar, a nonparametric test for semiparametric penalized regression models is presented. The test is based on random sign-flipping of an appropriate transformation of the vector of residuals, that exploits a spectral decomposition of the residualizing matrix associated with the nonparametric part of the model. The formulation allows for a wide applicability of the test to a vast class of extensively used semiparametric regression models, including for instance models based on univariate or multivariate splines. The good asymptotic properties of the proposed test are discussed, together with its good control of the Type I error and power, even in challenging data scenarios.

In particular, we consider the common case of estimators defined by scale dependent (Matern) kernels, and focus on the role scale and smoothness. These estimators interpolate the data and the scale can be shown to control their stability to noise and sampling. Larger scales, corresponding to smoother functions, improve stability with respect to sampling. However, smaller scales, corresponding to more complex functions, improve stability to noise. We will discuss to which extent these results can explain the learning curves observed for large overparameterized models. Our analysis combines, probabilistic results with analytic techniques from interpolation theory. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/236nC7S6NrVwHzEm8 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82967941062?pwd=RGpFUmY2YzdLS2VyMnJTeCt5ODFVZz09> Meeting ID: 829 6794 1062 Passcode: 846274 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

We link this property with real exponential families and large deviations. We compute the duals of many classical exponential families when they exist, like Tweedie, Morris, Mora families, and a family on the integers generated by the dilogarithm distribution. We extend the definition and the calculations to multivariate exponential families like Wishart and the simple quadratic families of Muriel Casalis.

Webinar Insubria and Bicocca - November Tuesday 16 at 17:00 - Zachary Feinstein - Set-Valued Risk Measures as BS$\Delta$Es
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Dear all, On November Tuesday 16 at 17:00, Zachary Feinstein (Stevens Institute of Technology) will give a virtual seminar “in Insubria & Bicocca”, to which you are all invited. Title and abstract below. Title: Set-Valued Risk Measures as BS$\Delta$Es Abstract: Scalar dynamic risk measures for univariate positions in continuous time are commonly represented as backward stochastic differential equations. In the multivariate setting, dynamic risk measures have been defined and studied as families of set-valued functionals in the recent literature. There are two possible extensions of scalar backward stochastic differential equations for the set-valued framework: (1) backward stochastic differential inclusions, which evaluate the risk dynamics on the selectors of acceptable capital allocations; or (2) set-valued backward stochastic differential equations, which evaluate the risk dynamics on the full set of acceptable capital allocations as a singular object. In this talk, we will investigate the discrete time setting with difference inclusions and difference equations in order to provide insights for such differential representations for set-valued dynamic risk measures in continuous time.. The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below. Topic: Zachary Feinstein - Set-Valued Risk Measures as BS$\Delta$Es Time: Nov 16, 2021 17:00 PM Rome Where: Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/92990672101?pwd=TTY3SGtpVHlOdE9adEhKcGV1MzJnUT09 ID riunione: 929 9067 2101 Passcode: 85asGb After the talk, you are all invited to remain in the meeting for an informal aperitif and chat.

Seminar by L. Campi in Verona (Virtual + In Person)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Prof. Luciano Campi (University of Milan) will give a talk at the Department of Economics. Date: 9 November 12:00 CET. Title: "Mean field games with absorption and common noise with a model of bank run" If you would like to attend via Zoom, please register at the following link, we will send you the details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYCdJt0zbw3PiKRhISABA-iwjZYYT-2qB… Abstract: We consider a mean field game describing the limit of a stochastic differential game of $N$-players whose state dynamics are subject to idiosyncratic and common noise and that can be absorbed when they hit a prescribed region of the state space. We provide a general result for the existence of weak mean field equilibria which, due to the absorption and the common noise, are given by random flow of sub-probabilities. We first use a fixed point argument to find solutions to the mean field problem in a reduced setting resulting from a discretization procedure and then we prove convergence of such equilibria to the desired solution. We exploit these ideas also to construct $\varepsilon$-Nash equilibria for the $N$-player game. Since the approximation is two-fold, one given by the mean field limit and one given by the discretization, some suitable convergence results are needed. We also introduce and discuss a novel model of bank run that can be studied within this framework.This talk is based on a joint paper with Matteo Burzoni (University of Milan). -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Luisa Andreis talk at the Torino seminar series in Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics
by Giuseppe D'Onofrio 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

Dear all, We are glad to announce the second seminar of the *Torino seminar series in Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics. * Torino seminar series SMS is a monthly seminar series held at the Department of Mathematics G. Peano of the University of Turin. For more info and a list of future talks see https://sites.google.com/view/torinostochastics. *Date and time:** Tuesday 9 November*, 2021, h 14:30-15:30 *Location*: Aula 5, Palazzo Campana, via Carlo Alberto 10, Torino *Speaker*: *Luisa ANDREIS *(University of Florence) *Title*: Phase transition in sparse random graphs and coagulation processes. *Abstract**:* Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdős–Rényi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are present independently according to the type of the vertices that they are connecting. In the sparse regime, these graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdős–Rényi model. In this talk we will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes some coagulation process and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is an ongoing joint work with Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Robert Patterson (WIAS). Best regards, The organizers (Tiziano De Angelis, Giuseppe D'Onofrio, Elena Issoglio)

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Arnone
by Laura Maria Sangalli 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Si avvisa che in data 04-11-2021, alle ore 14:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Eleonora Arnone, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano Titolo: Density estimation over complicated domains Sommario: In this talk, a nonparametric method for density estimation over complicated spatial domains is presented. The method combines a likelihood approach with a regularization based on a differential operator, and the estimator is proven to be consistent. The discretization of the estimator is based on finite elements, ensuring high computational efficiency and enabling great flexibility. The proposed method efficiently deals with data scattered over two-dimensional regions having complicated shapes, two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, or planar networks. Moreover, it captures very well complicated signals having multiple modes with different directions and intensities of anisotropy. Il seminario può essere seguito online dal seguente link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2089 Cordiali saluti, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy tel: +39 02 2399 4554 fax: +39 02 2399 4568 email: laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it url: http://mox.polimi.it/~sangalli

Webinar Ryder @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 4 November 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Robin Ryder (Université Paris Dauphine) Title: Bayesian methods for inferring the history of languages Abstract: Languages change through time in a manner comparable to biological evolution. Models have been developed for many aspects of human languages, including vocabulary, syntax and phonology. The complexity of these models, as well as the nature of the questions of interest, make the Bayesian framework quite natural in this setting, which explains why much of the research in Statistics applied to Historical Linguistics uses Bayesian methods. I shall present an overview of various models, starting with Morris Swadesh's failed attempts at glottochronology in the 1950s, then looking at some models developed in the last two decades. I shall go into more detail for a model of so-called "core" lexical data by a stochastic process on a phylogenetic tree, with an initial focus on the Sino-Tibetan family of languages and on the issue of dating the most recent common ancestor to these languages. This will allow me to discuss issues of model robustness and validation. I shall conclude with some ongoing work about joint estimation of lexical and phonological changes through a model of random discrete matrices, currently being applied to the history of sign languages. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/97798499552?pwd=U3o1NXBVZnA2Vm12RjZHLzl4SXd… Meeting ID: 977 9849 9552 Passcode: 564168 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

[PRISMA] seminari di G. Peccati e F. Grotto + altre informazioni
by Domenico Marinucci 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Cari colleghi lunedì 8 novembre 2021 riprenderanno i seminari online del Gruppo UMI PRISMA, con i seguenti interventi: * November 8, 2021, 16:00-17:00 (CET): Giovanni Peccati TITLE: Quantitative stabilization results on the Poisson space [1] ABSTRACT: Consider a random variable associated with a random point configuration generated by a Poisson point process (for instance, is the length of some random geometric graph). How can we assess the discrepancy between the distribution of and the one of a Gaussian random variable? The aim of my talk is to describe some recent results in this direction, all relying on some quantitative version of the notion of "geometric stabilization", as formalized by Penrose & Yukich in 2001. In doing so, I will sketch the general philosophy of a powerful collection of techniques for establishing probabilistic approximations, known as the "Malliavin-Stein method". Some explicit examples will be discussed, in particular, related to models of combinatorial optimization and random forests. * November 8, 2021, 17:00-18:00 (CET): Francesco Grotto TITLE: Completely Random Measures and 2D Euler's Equations [1] ABSTRACT: We will recall generalities on completely random measures -alias independently scattered measures- and their natural interaction with divergence-less flows on the underlying domain. We will then proceed to argue how these random fields thus constitute invariant measures for 2d incompressible Euler's equations, outline how a notion of solution to the latter nonlinear dynamics can be given in this setting by means of stochastic integrals, and discuss both rigorous results and open problems relating to the well-posedness of this measure-preserving system.

Virtual Seminar by M. Grigorova (Leeds)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Dr. Miryana Grigorova (University of Leeds) will give a talk organized by the Department of Economics - University of Verona Date: 3 November 12:00 CET. Title: "Superhedging of options in a non-linear incomplete financial market model” Abstract: We will study the superhedging price (and superhedging strategies) of European and American options in a non-linear incomplete market model with default, with a particular focus on the American options case which is more involved. We will provide a dual representation of the seller’s (superhedging) price for the American option in terms of a mixed stochastic control/stopping problem with non-linear expectations/ evaluations, and in terms of non-linear Reflected BSDEs with constraints. If time permits, we will also present a duality result for the buyer’s price in terms of a stochastic game of control and stopping with non-linear expectations/ evaluations. The talk is based on joint works with Marie-Claire Quenez and Agnès Sulem. If you would like to attend via Zoom, please register at the following link, we will send you the details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScVu88XwBhoF9O3xmbKwUxv0JN2URNT3Ki… -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Verr? tenuto in presenza con possibilit? di seguirlo via zoom. Grazie mille Martino --------------------------------- On Tuesday Nov 2 at 11am the Math Department of the University of Padua is pleased to host a seminar given by Prof. Johannes Ruf (LSE University, London). Here below the relevant details: WHEN: November 2, at 11:00am WHERE: Room 2BC30 at 2nd floor of the Math Department "Tullio Levi-Civita", via Trieste 63, Padua ZOOM link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83202006980 (without password) SPEAKER: Johannes Ruf TITLE: The Growth-Optimal Portfolio in Fund Models ABSTRACT: This study concerns the estimation of the growth-optimal portfolio. The growth-optimal portfolio, or the numeraire portfolio, maximises the expected logarithmic growth rate and plays a fundamental role in portfolio choice and asset pricing. Efficient estimates of the growth-optimal portfolio under the CAPM and multi-fund models are derived. The accuracy of estimation is greater, the larger the variances of the returns. A measure of investors' economic loss caused by information loss due to missing data or unavailable observations is provided. In particular, the economic loss is larger, the larger the investment universe or the factors affecting asset returns. The estimate has a Bayesian interpretation.

(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Carina Geldhauser
by Mario Maurelli 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the first *hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming -* talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: *Carina Geldhauser* (Lund University) Title: *Discrete models for atmospheric turbulence* Abstract: In this talk we discuss a family of discrete models for atmospheric turbulence, often called point vortex models. Point vortices provide an approximation of solutions to generalized surface quasi-geostrophic models, a family of fractional PDEs which interpolate between 2D Euler equations and the more irregular SQG equation. We state some of its basic properties and see how variational methods and tools from probability theory together can help us to obtain more information about turbulence phenomena. The content of this talk is based on work in collaboration with Marco Romito (Uni Pisa), the presentation tries to avoid technicalities and to be accessible to a mixed audience. Date and time: *Monday October 25, 14:30-15:30 (Rome time zone)*, mind the change with respect to previous talks Place: *Sala di Rappresentanza (ground floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano, via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano* *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. For more information see the dedicated webpage: https://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/ Participation is free and welcome! The number of participants in person is limited, but we expect the limit not to be reached. However we advise people who are not from Milan or Pavia to write to us if they want to participate in person. Participants in person need to have the "green pass" or the EU digital covid certificate; a scanner will measure body temperature at the entrance of the building. Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Webinar Crimaldi @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 21 October 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Irene Crimaldi (IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca) Title: Interacting Reinforced Stochastic Processes Abstract: Randomly evolving systems composed by elements which interact among each other have always been of great interest in several scientific fields. We will present some studies about models of interacting stochastic processes with reinforcement. Generally speaking, by reinforcement in a stochastic dynamics we mean any mechanism for which the probability that a given event occurs has an increasing dependence on the number of times the same event occurred in the past. In particular, we will focus on the asymptotic synchronization phenomenon that could be roughly defined as the tendency of different components to adopt a common behavior. Moreover, we will deal with the relationship between the topology of the interaction network and the long-time synchronization. Indeed, the obtained results lead to the construction of asymptotic confidence intervals for the common limit random variable and of statistical tests to make inference on the topology of the network. Finally, we will discuss the question when, even if interaction among agents is present, absence of synchronization may happen. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/93329709153?pwd=TnZyNmV5QWZ1YjdHOHhEK2VZTmp… Meeting ID: 933 2970 9153 Passcode: 417065 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

Seminar in Padova by Andrea Pallavicini, save the date (29 Oct. 2021)!
by Giorgia Callegaro 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

Dear all, it's a pleasure to announce the following seminar by Andrea Pallavicini, which will be **in presence and online**. Details are as follows: - *Title*: Chebyshev Greeks: Smoothing Gamma without Bias - *Date*: October 29, 2021 at 14:30 - *In presence*: Room 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Padova) - *Online (Zoom):* the link will be available from the day before at this address https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ - *Abstract*: The computation of Greeks is a fundamental task for risk managing of financial instruments. The standard approach to their numerical evaluation is via finite differences. Most exotic derivatives are priced via Monte Carlo simulation: in these cases, it is hard to find a fast and accurate approximation of Greeks, mainly because of the need of a tradeoff between bias and variance. Recent improvements in Greeks computation, such as Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation, are unfortunately uneffective on second order Greeks (such as Gamma), which are plagued by the most significant instabilities, so that a viable alternative to standard finite differences is still lacking. We apply Chebyshev interpolation techniques to the computation of spot Greeks, showing how to improve the stability of finite difference Greeks of arbitrary order, in a simple and general way. The increased performance of the proposed technique is analyzed for a number of real payoffs commonly traded by financial institutions. See you soon in Padova, thanks, Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Borse di Dottorato in Modeling and Data Science XXXVII CICLO (PON RICERCA E INNOVAZIONE) - Università degli Studi di Torino
by Elvira Di Nardo 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Vi segnalo il BANDO DI CONCORSO PUBBLICO PER 6 BORSE DI DOTTORATO SU TEMATICHE “GREEN” E “INNOVAZIONE” PON RICERCA E INNOVAZIONE 2014-2020 (D.M. 1061/2021) XXXVII CICLO. nell'ambito del Dottorato in Modeling and Data Science <https://dottorato-mds.campusnet.unito.it/do/home.pl> (Università di Torino) *Deadline per la domanda: 28 ottobre 2021 ore 23.59 * Con preghiera di diffusione a potenziali interessati, vi segnalo - in particolare - i seguenti progetti: Titolo: *Sviluppo di un sistema di monitoraggio energetico aziendale * (MAT/06) Referente Scientifico: *Cristina Zucca <https://dipmath.campusnet.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?cristina.zucca#tab-p…> * Tematica: Il risparmio energetico e l'utilizzo di energie rinnovabili giocano un ruolo fondamentale nella ricerca di uno sviluppo aziendale sostenibile. Questo richiede che, da una parte le aziende si organizzino per l'utilizzo di energia rinnovabile e dall'altro individuino metodi di produzione volti al risparmio energetico. La multinazionale Agilent nella sede torinese si sta muovendo su entrambi questi fronti. Questo progetto di dottorato è in parte finanziato da Agilent ed è rivolto a un ripensamento dei processi produttivi introducendo il vincolo di minimizzare il consumo energetico. Occorre individuare i processi a maggior consumo energetico e studiare come ridurre i consumi o come ottimizzare i tempi di richiesta di energia, evitando momenti di picco energetico. Il progetto partirà dall’analisi statistica di dati esistenti a cui verranno affiancati i dati provenienti da nuovi sensori opportunamente collocati. Il target finale sarà la costruzione di modelli matematici predittivi del consumo energetico dei singoli macchinari e delle linee di produzione. Tali modelli serviranno a ridurre i consumi e ottimizzare la richiesta energetica. Background di fisica e matematica (master in matematica, fisica o ingegneria). Conoscenza del calcolo delle probabilità e della statistica (processi stocastici e serie storiche). Lingua inglese. Titolo: *Analisi di big data relativi alle risorse idriche sotterranee *(SECS-S/01; INF 01) Referente Scientifico: Stefano Ferraris <https://www.dist.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?stefano.ferraris#tab-profilo> Tematica: La prevenzione di eventi critici come la siccità agricola e potabile richiede un uso estensivo di dati di monitoraggio ambientale. Oggi è disponibile una quantità impressionante di dati e una varietà di strumenti statistici e informatici che possono essere applicati per lo studio di tali big data. Per il Piemonte disponiamo di informazioni nello spazio e nel tempo. Tali dati comprendono più di vent'anni di livello di acque sotterranee, portate fluviali, dati meteorologici di ARPA Piemonte e dati satellitari. Unendo modelli matematici specifici e un approccio di machine learning si prevede di valutare quantitativamente le risorse idriche disponibili in un contesto di cambiamento climatico. Inoltre, l'utilizzo di tali risultati suggerirà azioni di prevenzione al fine di limitare i rischi idrogeologici legati ai cambiamenti climatici. Background di fisica e matematica (master in matematica, fisica o ingegneria). Lingua inglese. Titolo: *Modellazione del bilancio idrico di bacini idrografici piemontesi * (SECS-S/01; INF 01) Referente Scientifico: Stefano Ferraris <https://www.dist.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?stefano.ferraris#tab-profilo> Tematica: Le inondazioni sono importanti conseguenze del cambiamento climatico e la prevenzione di tali eventi catastrofici è diventata un compito primario. L'attuale disponibilità di big data è un aiuto importante per lo sviluppo di modelli realistici o per l'utilizzo di metodi di machine learning. I modelli matematici possono quindi consentire di prevedere possibili rischi e suggerire interventi sul territorio quando ci si concentra su singoli bacini idrografici. Il progetto di dottorato mira a utilizzare i dati di monitoraggio ambientale disponibili per la prevenzione di eventi critici come alluvioni in aree specifiche del Piemonte. Oltre all'utilizzo dei dati disponibili nello spazio e nel tempo, la ricerca comprenderà lo sviluppo di una metodologia a scala di bacino (area di ordine 100 km2). Tale scala è importante per una corretta gestione del territorio e lo sviluppo di modalità adeguate di organizzazione dei dati acquisiti saranno uno degli obiettivi del progetto, con particolare riferimento al bacino della Regione Piemonte. L'utilizzo delle informazioni estratte dai dati consentirà di sviluppare la seconda parte della ricerca, che prevede lo sviluppo di modelli. Il funzionamento idrologico e idraulico di un bacino idrografico in Piemonte sarà studiato attraverso metodi statistici nel dominio del tempo o della frequenza, nonché con metodi di apprendimento automatico e approccio fisico. Particolare enfasi sarà dedicata all'analisi delle piene a scala di bacino con la simulazione di eventi piovosi potenzialmente critici, con e senza l'adozione di tecniche di mitigazione/prevenzione. I risultati, dopo essere stati implementati in WebGIS, consentiranno un'applicazione diretta da parte di decisori, amministratori locali e personale tecnico anche in altri bacini dell'arco alpino. Background di fisica e matematica (master in matematica, fisica o ingegneria). Lingua inglese. Titolo: *Monitoraggio delle portate fognarie come strumento di supporto nello sviluppo di strategie gestionali atte alla mitigazione dell'impatto dei cambiamenti climatici * (SECS-S/01; INF 01) Referente Scientifico: Rosa Meo <https://www.matematica.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?rosa.meo#tab-profilo> Tematica: Il cambiamento climatico provoca grandi esondazioni e la caduta improvvisa di enormi quantità d'acqua che provocano danni ingenti quali allagamenti superficiali se non ben indirizzate. Le reti fognarie di molte zone italiane sono vetuste e con condotti insufficienti a garantire il deflusso di grandi quantità d'acqua. Per affrontare questa criticità si propone la soluzione di studiare un modello di piano fognario e i possibili interventi per migliorarlo con l'azienda (BrianzAcque) che affianca il Gestore del servizio idrico. Con l'espletamento delle attività legate agli step di progetto, che prevedono la messa a punto di modelli predittivi, e i possibili interventi di correzione alla rete, si otterrà un “piano fognario integrato" che permette una visione globale, individua gli interventi di correzione, le priorità e il costo, utili ai fini della pianificazione degli interventi. Il dottorand* deve avere competenze di analisi dati, Data Mining o Machine Learning, per la creazione di modelli predittivi delle serie storiche, preferibilmente con conoscenza e background di processi stocastici. La conoscenza della lingua Inglese (lettura e scrittura) è indispensabile.

12 Oct '21

Dear all, The Department of Mathematics of the University of Bologna has an opening for a PhD Scholarship on the project "A mathematical-physics approach to improve energy efficiency in classical and quantum machine learning". The aim of the project is to reduce the computational complexity of machine learning devices, eliminate the enormous redundancy they come with, and drastically cut their energy consumption. The answer requires a paramount detailed knowledge on the principles those machines work on, nowadays still largely lacking. The statistical mechanics approach to the Boltzmann Machines is one of the major and most promising paths toward their clarification. The project plan to use one of the methods of coming from the theory of equilibrium, non-equilibrium, classical and quantum. The call for applications can be found at https://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/phd/new-call-for-applications-for-phd-addit ional-scholarships-on-innovation-and-green-topics,-funded-by-FSE-REACT-EU--- PON-ricerca-e-Innovazione-programme THE DEADLINE FOR THE APPLICATION IS OCTOBER 20 The call requires the candidates to get the MSc degree by October 31.

Topic: OWPS Seminar October 21st Bernard Derrida & Zhan Shi Time: Oct 21, 2021 03:45 PM Paris Renormalisation and disorder: a simple toy model (II) Zhan Shi (AMSS, Chinese Academy of Sciences) After a short review of our understanding of how a weak disorder or a low density of impurities affect the universality class of a phase transition, we will discuss a simple tree-like toy model for which one can prove that, due to disorder, the depinning transition becomes an infinite order transition of the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless type. This toy model was introduced to understand the depinning transition of a line from a random substrate, one of the simplest problems in the theory of disordered systems. This depinning transition has a long history among physicists and mathematicians. Still the nature of the transition, one of the central questions of the problem, remains unsolved. Joint work with Xinxing Chen, Victor Dagard, Yueyun Hu and Mikhail Lifshits.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 15 Ottobre 2021, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Bas Kleijn *(University of Amsterdam) Title: *Confidence sets in a sparse stochastic block model with two * *communities of unknown sizes* Abstract: In a sparse stochastic block model with two communities of unequal sizes we derive two posterior concentration inequalities, that imply (1) posterior (almost-)exact recovery of the community structure under sparsity bounds comparable to well-known sharp bounds in the planted bi-section model; (2) a construction of confidence sets for the community assignment from credible sets, with finite graph sizes. The latter enables exact frequentist uncertain quantification with Bayesian credible sets at non-asymptotic graph sizes, where posteriors can be simulated well. There turns out to be no proportionality between credible and confidence levels: for given edge probabilities and a desired confidence level, there exists a critical graph size where the required credible level drops sharply from close to one to close to zero. At such graph sizes the frequentist decides to include not most of the posterior support for the construction of his confidence set, but only a small subset of community assignments containing the highest amounts of posterior probability (like the maximum-a-posteriori estimator). It is argued that for the proposed construction of confidence sets, a form of early stopping applies to MCMC sampling of the posterior, which would enable the computation of confidence sets at larger graph sizes.

Mini-course about Rough Volatility by Jim Gatheral CUNY
by Giacomo Bormetti 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Dear all, in collaboration with Jim Gatheral from City University of New York we organize a mini-course about Rough Volatility. The course will take place only in presence in Bologna at the Department of Mathematics (Piazza di Porta San Donato 5). Below all the details. All interested people are kindly invited. Sincerely Giacomo Bormetti and Fabrizio Lillo Gio 14 Ottobre, 4:00-7:00 PM CET Aula Tonelli Jim Gatheral, Baruch College CUNY, New York Titolo: Rough volatility I Rough volatility connects the microstructure of financial markets with the large-scale behavior of volatility. This approach results in parsimonious models that are consistent across different time-scales and show remarkable agreement with econometric data. In this first lecture of two, we will focus on the econometric motivation of rough volatility and explore its consequences for pricing, focusing on the rough Bergomi model. As an application, we will show how to forecast realized variance and the forward variance curve. Gio 21 Ottobre, 4:00-7:00 PM CET Aula Tonelli Jim Gatheral, Baruch College CUNY, New York Titolo: Rough volatility II In this second lecture, we will present the microstructural foundation for rough volatility models. This leads to the class of affine forward variance (AFV models) and more recently to so-called super Heston models, a special case of which is the quadratic rough Heston model. We give a brief overview of recent developments, including numerical solution techniques. Numerical experiments are performed to give intuition for the effect of changing model parameters. Both lectures will be in the form of Jupyter notebooks that will be made available afterwards, including code to reproduce most of the computations.

Seminar by Francesca Biagini in Verona (Virtual)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Prof. Francesca Biagini (LMU Munich) will give a virtual talk at our Department seminar. Date: 13 October 12:00 CEST. Title: "Reduced-form setting under model uncertainty with non-linear affine intensities" If you would like to attend via Zoom, please register at the following link, we will send you the details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6_5W5PbKr9R3fufAahV1D4js4-6AAcEn… Abstract: In this talk we present a market model including financial assets and life insurance liabilities within a reduced-form framework under model uncertainty by following [1]. In particular we extend this framework to include mortality intensities following an affine process under parameter uncertainty, as defined in [2]. This allows both to introduce the definition of a longevity bond under model uncertainty in a consistent way with the classical case under one prior, as well as to compute it by explicit formulas or by numerical methods. We also study conditions to guarantee the existence of a càdlàg modification for the longevity bond’s value process. Furthermore, we show how the resulting market model extended with the longevity bond is arbitrage-free and study arbitrage-free pricing of contingent claims or life insurance liabilities in this setting. This talk is based on: [1] Francesca Biagini and Yinglin Zhang. Reduced-form framework under model uncertainty. The Annals of Applied Probability, 29(4):2481–2522, 2019.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Carlo Bellingeri, Monday October 11 at 17.30
by Carlo Orrieri 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Carlo Bellingeri (TU Berlin) Title: Signatures and non commutative probability. Abstract: Given a smooth path X, the signature of a path is the infinite sequence of the iterated integral of X with itself. If X is a stochastic process with an integration structure (e.g. semimartingale), the corresponding signature is the key-object to understand the "lack of continuity" between the solution of a SDE driven by X and the process itself. In this talk, we will review the main properties of the signature and introduce the new notion of "non-commutative signature", which we tailored to study a new class of rough/stochastic differential equations arising in the context of non-commutative probability. Joint paper with Nicolas Gilliers (Université de Toulouse) and Yannick Vargas (Postdam Universität) Date and time: Monday October 11, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296> This talk is the second of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons) Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Francesco Russo's talk at the Torino seminar series in Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics
by Tiziano De Angelis 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Dear all, We are glad to announce the first seminar of the *Torino seminar series in Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics. * Torino seminar series SMS is a monthly seminar series held at the Department of Mathematics G. Peano of the University of Turin. For more info and a list of future talks see https://sites.google.com/view/torinostochastics. *Date and time:** Friday 1 October*, 2021, h 17:00-18:00 *Location*: Aula Magna, Palazzo Campana, via Carlo Alberto 10, Torino *Speaker*: *Francesco RUSSO *(ENSTA Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris) *Title*: Fokker-Planck equations with terminal condition and related McKean probabilistic representation *Abstract**:* Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in the sense of McKean are stochastic differential equations, whose coefficients do not only depend on time and on the position of the solution process, but also on its marginal laws. Often they constitute probabilistic representation of conservative PDEs, called Fokker-Planck equations; In general Fokker-Planck PDEs are well-posed if the initial condition is specified. Here, alternatively, we consider the inverse problem which consists in prescribing the final data: in particular we give sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness. We also provide a probabilistic representation of those PDEs in the form of a solution of a McKean type equation corresponding to the time-reversal dynamics of a diffusion process. The research is motivated by some application consisting in representing some semilinear PDEs (typically Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman in stochastic control) fully backwardly. This work is based on a collaboration with L. Izydorczyk (ENSTA), N. Oudhane (EDF), G. Tessitore (Milano Bicocca) Best regards, The organizers (Tiziano De Angelis, Giuseppe D'Onofrio, Elena Issoglio)

Large N limits of Wilson loops in gauge theories
by Enrico Scalas 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

Care colleghe e colleghi, Vi puo' forse interessare questo seminario che si terra' giovedi' prossimo. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas -- Dear all, This Thursday we kick off our Mathematical Physics seminar series for the new academic year with a talk by Antoine Dahlqvist (Sussex) on Large N limits of Wilson loops in gauge theories Abstract: Gauge theories are a type of field theory introduced and studied from the 70’s by physicists as a theoretical model describing the fundamental interactions between elementary particles. It quickly appeared to be a place where geometry and physics met and influenced each others. In this talk, I shall discuss some questions closer to probability and random matrix theory, inspired by the so-called large N limit regime of Euclidean field theories. I will present some old and new theorems about the Yang-Mills measure for two dimensional space-time geometries. The seminars are fortnightly on Thursdays 12:00 - 13:00 in 5C11 and can also be followed on Zoom https://universityofsussex.zoom.us/j/98075042563?pwd=VTBxSHVMVUl2Y0piblp4Y0… Passcode: 938719 The seminars are open for everyone with an interest in topics on the intersection of Mathematics and Physics The schedule for the seminars this term can be found at https://www.maths.sussex.ac.uk/seminars/mathphys.html To receive further announcements for our seminar series, please sign up to the mailing list 'mathphy_seminar' following the guidance at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/distribution-groups-e8ba58a8-fab… Best wishes, Antoine, Michael, Xavier and Folkert

We also inform you that, in accordance with the wishes expressed in the pooling, sessions will take place every other week (i.e. ~2 per month). Each session will consist of two talks of 45 minutes each. These two talks will be thematically unified. Please feel free to circulate this email. Probabilistically yours, Bastien Mallein and Sébastien Martineau -------- Persi Diaconis -- Probability theory for THE random graph Pick two Erdös-Renyi (n,1/2) graphs uniformly at random. What's the chance they are the same (isomorphic)? Small. How small? Well, at most n!/ 2^(n choose 2). When n= 100, that's less than 10^-1300. OK, now let n=infinity. The chance that the two graphs are isomorphic is one (!). This is THE random graph (the Rado graph R). I will review its many non-random models and many strange properties. ? It is a natural limit of the set of all finite graphs (a first order property is true for almost all finite graphs if and only if it holds with probability one in R) and this discontinuity is surprising. In joint work with with Sourav Chatterjee we tried to find finite manifestations: For finite n, the largest isomorphic induced subgraph of a pair has size 4log (n) -2loglog(n)-2log(4/e) +1 (within 1, all logs base 2 in probability when n is large). This matches data amazingly well (e.g. for n more than 30) and illuminates problems in constraint satisfaction. Laurent Mico -- A random walk on THE random graph R Let q(j) be a probability on N={0,1,2,...}. Let R be a model of THE random graph. A Markov chain on N starts at i and moves to one of its neighbor j in R with probability proportional to q(j). This Markov chain has a stationary distribution and we inquire about rates of convergence. Since each vertex is connected to half of the others and the diameter of R is 2, it seems likely that convergence is fast. In some models we show that log* (i) steps are necessary and sufficient for convergence. The proof uses a novel variant of Hardy's inequalities for trees. This is joint work with Sourav Chatterjee and Persi Diaconis.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Hakima Bessaih, Monday September 27 at 17.30
by Margherita Zanella 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Hakima Bessaih (Florida International University) Title: Numerical schemes for the 2d Stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. Abstract: We consider a time discretization scheme of Euler type for the 2d stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the torus. We prove a mean square rate of convergence. This refines previous results established with a rate of convergence in probability only. Using exponential moment estimates of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and a convergence of a localized scheme, we can prove strong convergence of fully implicit and semi-implicit time Euler discretization and also a splitting scheme. The speed of convergence depends on the diffusion coefficient and the viscosity parameter. When the noise is additive, we are able to get strong convergence without localization. Date and time: Monday September 27, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 This is a talk of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. For more information see the dedicated webpage: https://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/<http://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/> Participation is free and welcome!

Seminars by Jim Gatheral, Baruch College CUNY New York
by Giacomo Bormetti 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Dear all, Prof. Jim Gatheral is visiting the Department of Mathematics in Bologna for the next two months. On September 29 and October 13 he will deliver two seminars in presence in Bologna in Aula Cremona, main building of the Math Department. You are all kindly invited. It will be possible to follow the seminars online via Zoom too (please find below the links to connect). Sincerely, Giacomo Bormetti and Fabrizio Lillo 29-Sep-2021 16:00 (CET time) Aula Cremona, Department of Mathematics or Zoom https://unibo.zoom.us/j/99763851456?pwd=YzVBMTNxUXpRWngrNExaRWtMRjRkdz09 Title: Diamond trees and the forest expansion Abstract: I will present a “broken exponential martingale” G-expansion that generalizes and unifies our earlier exponentiation result (Alòs, Gatheral, and Radoičić) and the cumulant recursion formula of Lacoin, Rhodes, and Vargas. As one application, I show how to compute all terms in an expansion of the Lévy area. By reordering the trees in the G-expansion according to the number of leaves, our earlier exponentiation theorem can be recovered. As further applications, I will give model-free expressions for various quantities of interest under stochastic volatility. Finally, I will exhibit explicit computations of diamond trees under rough Heston. 13-Oct-2021 16:00 (CET time) Aula Cremona, Department of Mathematics or Zoom https://unibo.zoom.us/j/91206042957?pwd=d21ybkJQTEtkZHRWd25RLzJOQWV0QT09 Title: Pricing in affine forward variance models Abstract: The class of affine forward variance (AFV) models was defined in Gatheral and Keller-Ressel (2019); this class includes both the conventional Heston model and its celebrated extension, the rough Heston model of El Euch and Rosenbaum. The AFV characteristic function may be expressed in terms of the solution of a Volterra integral equation. I will present a rational approximation to the solution of this integral equation in the special case of the rough Heston model. Until now, simulation of AFV models using the Markovian approximation of Abi Jaber and El Euch has proved relatively complicated and time-consuming, I will present a new efficient and easy-to-implement method for simulating AFV models for general kernels. I will present numerical results using the rational approximation as a benchmark.

virtual seminar in Insubria & Bicocca
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Dear all, On *September 30 at 17:00, Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) will give a virtual seminar “in Insubria & Bicocca”, to which you are all invited. You can find the title and abstract below. Title: Infinite dimensional Heston model and sensitivity analysis Abstract: We consider the infinite dimensional Heston stochastic volatility model for the price of a forward contract on a non-storable commodity. We give a representation formula for the forward price and then we consider options written on this. We analyse the sensitivity of the option price to the different parameters in the model with the aim at providing representation formulae for the so-called Greeks. However, being the parameter infinite dimensional, we need to reinterpret the meaning of the Greeks. In our work we use infinite dimensional Malliavin/Skorokhod calculus and a randomisation technique. The presentation is based on joint work with Fred Espen Benth and Iben Simonsen. The seminar will be on *Zoom*. You can find the information to join below. Speaker: Giulia Di Nunno (Univ. Oslo) Topic: Time: September 30, 2021 05:00 PM Rome Where: Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86037568156?pwd=cHhvdmdiWUpVYXFjMEo2RWZxM09Rdz09 ID riunione: 860 3756 8156 Passcode: 086446 After the talk, you are all invited to remain in the meeting for an informal aperitif and chat. Please forward to anyone interested.

special issue on Anomaly Detection: methods and applications
by Daniela De Canditiis 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

dear all, we cordially invite you to submit a manuscript to the following special issue Special Issue: Methods and Applications for Anomaly Detection Journal of Computational Mathematics and Data Science (Elsevier) https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-computational-mathematics-and-… Submission Deadline: 31 July 2022 Manuscripts can be submitted continuously until the deadline. Once a paper is submitted, the review process will start immediately. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal. There are no publication fees until March 2022. ********* This Special Issue is focused on recent advances in Anomaly Detection (AD). AD is an important problem in many applications and it consists of establishing whether a given data deviates from nominal shape or form. The AD problem depends on the nature of input data (points, sequences, functions, graphs, images, objects of different nature), on the type of anomaly (point anomalies, contextual or behavioral anomalies or their combination), on the availability of labeled data for training/validation of the AD techniques (leading to unsupervised AD and supervised AD), and on the type of output of the AD (scores or label). Some of the topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Classification techniques Robust regression Robust PCA Robust signal processing Robust image processing Clustering techniques Information theory techniques Artificial Intelligence AD Application to any field ********* Manuscript submission information: Guest Editors: Annalisa Pascarella (IAC-CNR, Italy) Daniela De Canditiis (IAC-CNR, Italy) The submission website for this journal is located at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/jcmds/default.aspx To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select VSI: Anomaly Detection (Special Issue) when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

Buongiorno sotto trovate le informazioni sul seminario di Lorenzo dello Schiavo a Roma 1. Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra Quando: Martedì 21 Settembre 2021, ore 10.30 Dove: Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza Speaker: Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (IST Austria) Title: *Conformally invariant random fields, quantum Liouville measures, and random Paneitz operators on Riemannian manifolds of even dimension* Abstract: On large classes of closed even-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M, we construct and study the *Copolyharmonic Gaussian Field*, i.e. a conformally invariant log-correlated Gaussian field of distributions on M. This random field is defined as the unique centered Gaussian field with covariance kernel given as the resolvent kernel of Graham—Jenne—Mason—Sparling (GJMS) operators of maximal order. The corresponding Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos is a generalization to the 2m-dimensional case of the celebrated Liouville Quantum Gravity measure in dimension two. We study the associated Liouville Brownian motion and random GJMS operator, the higher-dimensional analogues of the 2d Liouville Brownian Motion and of the random Laplacian. Finally, we study the Polyakov–Liouville on the space of distributions on M induced by the copolyharmonic Gaussian field, providing explicit conditions for its finiteness and computing the conformal anomaly.

Dear colleagues, I am happy to forward you the following announcements of two seminars in Quantitative Finance organized by LTI@UniTO and Collegio Carlo Alberto: * Stanislava Nikolova (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), September 20th, 12.45: "Corporate Bond Flipping" * Andrea Orame (Bank of Italy), September 27th, 12.45: "Quantitative Easing, Bank Lending and Competition".

Analyzing insurer trades in corporate bonds during 2002-2018, we show that offerings with worse aftermarket performance are flipped less. When flipping their allocation in an offering, insurers tend to avoid selling to the offering’s underwriters even though underwriters offer better prices. The sensitivity of flipping to aftermarket performance is broadly similar when flipping to underwriters than non-underwriters, which suggests that underwriters discourage flipping in both overpriced and underpriced offerings. Insurers that flip their allocation to underwriters receive less profitable allocations in these underwriters’ subsequent offerings. Overall, our findings suggest that the repeated game nature of the issuance process allows underwriters to partially limit flipping by using their allocation discretion to penalize flippers. /Joint with L. Wang/.

Banks exposed to QE, especially the more illiquid ones, increased lending relatively more at both the intensive and extensive margins after QE. But we also find evidence of substitution. Branches of non-QE-exposed banks contracted lending in areas where QE-exposed banks dominate. Because of this substitution, we find no evidence of an aggregate credit expansion. Our results suggest that QE programs that target a broader swath of the banking system could more effectively expand lending.

Padova Online Seminar by Oriane Blondel (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) [Friday, Sept. 24 at 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on September 24 at 14.30 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Oriane Blondel ( Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) Title: Kinetically constrained models out of equilibrium 24 SEPTEMBER (Friday) - 14:30 zoom link: TBA available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: Kinetically constrained models are interacting particle systems on Z^d, in which particles can appear/disappear only if a given local constraint is satisfied. This condition complexifies significantly the dynamics. In particular, it deprives the system of monotonicity properties, which leaves us with few tools to study the dynamics when it is initially not at equilibrium. I will review the results and techniques we have in this direction. Best regards The organizers (A. Bianchi, G. Callegaro, M.

JEAN JACOD SEMINAR in VERONA, 22/9/2021 at 12:00
by Cecilia Mancini 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

JEAN JACOD, Emeritus Professor at the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris (Paris 6), on Wednesday, the 22nd at 12:00, will give the following SEMINAR Title: Testing for the Markov Property in a High-Frequency Setting (joint with Yacine Ait-Sahalia) Abstract. The aim is to present a test for the homogeneous Markov property of a one-dimensional process X observed at regularly spaced times over a finite time interval. The frequency goes to infinity, and we test the null hypothesis according to which the spot volatility takes the form sigmat= f(X_t) for some smooth enough non-vanishing function f. The test relies on some Central Limit Theorems related to the local times of a semimartingale. We allow the process X to have jumps, restricted to finite activity. We will mostly consider the case when the process is observed without error, and if time permits we will give a method covering the case where microstrucutre noise is present. All interested people are warmly invited to participate. The seminar will be offered in a hybrid format: Zoom Webinar: please use the following form to register and to receive the webinar link on the day of the seminar https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScZAsFnymSi11UklAMABm8Nwtg6txOogxQ… Live attendance: the Department of Economics, via Cantarane 24, Vaona room. Due to the limited number of available seats, interested people should write an e-mail to: cecilia.mancini(a)univr.it<mailto:cecilia.mancini@univr.it> Professor Jacod will be visiting our department from 20 to 23 of September

PhD course Set-Valued Stochastic Finance - Ararat, September 13, 14, 15, 22
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 06 Sep '21

06 Sep '21

On September 13, 14, 15, 22 with schedule 10:00-12:00, Cagin Ararat (Bilkent University) will give a virtual short PhD-course for the PhD program in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions (Insubria University). You can find title and abstract below, as well as instructions to attend the course. You are all invited! Short Online Course, Università degli Studi dell'Insubria September 2021, Varese Set-Valued Stochastic Finance Lecturer: Çağın Ararat, Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey Email: cararat(a)bilkent.edu.tr<mailto:cararat@bilkent.edu.tr> Meeting Times: 10:00-12:00 on September 13, 14, 15, 22 Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/98597190889?pwd=cm1vOVdIeWdMdVZ4UTNkY1Vkb0lvZz09 Meeting ID: 985 9719 0889 Passcode: 341415 Abstract: This short online course is concerned with the fundamentals and some recent developments in the theory of set-valued risk measures. These set-valued functionals are particularly useful in quantifying risk in interconnected financial networks where the entities are subject to correlated sources of randomness, in which case the functionals are called systemic risk measures. After studying set-valued risk measures in static and discrete-time settings, we will observe that the continuous-time case is very much undiscovered, largely due to the challenges in set-valued stochastic analysis. We will conclude the course with a simple form of a set-valued backward stochastic differential equation, which has the potential to be linked to set-valued risk measures in continuous time. *** Please forward to anyone interested.

20th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2021 *Compound Risk: Climate, Disaster, Finance, Pandemic * Venice, Italy 23 –24 September 2021 *****COVID-19 update: the CREDIT 2021 Conference is both onsite and online but we are ready to move the conference remotely, if necessary***** *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *Cattolica Assicurazioni* (Verona, Italy), *European Datawarehouse *(Frankfurt, Germany), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg), *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg), and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 23-24, 2021. The Conference CREDIT 2021 will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and credit risk with the aim to create a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy and industry-relevant insights as well as directions for future research. CREDIT 2021 is the *twentieth *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 the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy). /The theme of this year’s conference is the relation between financial risk on the one hand and pandemic, climate and disaster risk, on the other hand, with particular attention to the possible compounding of different sources of risk. / /The past year, 2020, has been marked by the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis, which has shown how fragile our economic systems can be when confronted with shocks that threaten public health and the closeness of the connections between economic and financial risks and public policy. / /Climate change is now widely recognized as a new source of financial risk which is relevant both at the level of households and individual institutions and the systemic level. In particular, the many central banks and financial institutions that have joined the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) have issued recommendations on how to integrate climate considerations into risk management strategies and practices./ ///However, risks such as pandemics and climate change do not occur in isolation but can also compound, as has already been seen in several countries. The compounding of risk, which is currently poorly understood, increases the complexity of risk assessment and risk management, and it has implications for socio-economic development, as well as for public debt sustainability./ /In the EU, these aspects have major implications for efforts to increase the resilience of the economy to future shocks and to “build back better”, and requires the alignment of COVID-19 recovery policies, such as those supported by the NextGenerationEU, and the EU Green Deal and the Paris Agreement targets. / / / / / The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: • * Stefano Battiston *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & University of Zurich, Programme Chair) • * Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) • * Francesca Campolongo *(Joint Research Center, European Commission) • *Vittoria Colizza* (INSERM, France) • * Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) • * Jan Pieter Krahnen* (Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University, Frankfurt) • *Irene Monasterolo *(Vienna University of Economics and Business) • *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven & CEPR) • *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) • *Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School) PROGRAMME *Thursday, September 23 2021* *08.30 **Registration*_* *_ *09.00 Welcome and Opening Remarks*_* *_*09.15 Session I: Pandemics and Macro-financial Impacts * • *Keynote talk*: /TBA - /*Vittoria Colizza*, French National Institute for Health and Medical Research, Paris • /Learning about Unprecedented Events: Agent-Based Modelling and the Stock Market Impact of COVID-19 - /*Roberto Savona*, University of Brescia (join with Davide Bazzana and Michele Colturato) • /Credit Demand and Financial Constraints in Non-Financial Recessions: Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic - /*Tor Jacobson*, Sveriges Riksbank, Stockholm (join with Niklas Amberg) *11.00 Coffee break*_* *_*11.30 Session II: Regulatory Requirement and Long Run Risks * • /Credit Allocation and Macroeconomic Fluctuations - /*Karsten Müller*, Princeton University (join with Emil Verner) • /Climate Change Regulatory Risks and Bank Lending - /*Eleonora Sfrappini*,IWH - Halle Institute for Economic Research (join with Isabella Mueller) • /Required Capital for Long Run Risks - /*Alain Monfort*, CREST (join with Christian Gouriéroux and Jean-Paul Renne) *13.00 Lunch** * *14.30 Session III: ESG (EIBURS Project ESG-Credit.eu)* *• Keynote talk: */Silencing the Noise: ESG Confusion and Stock Returns//- /*Roberto Rigobon*, MIT Sloan School of Management • /The Salience of ESG Ratings: Evidence from Possible Investor Confusion - /*Loriana Pelizzon*, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE, Goethe University Frankfurt, Ca' Foscari University of Venice & CEPR (join with Aleksandra Rzeznik and Kathleen Weiss Hanley) • /Green Sentiment, Stock Returns, and Corporate Behavior - /*Stefano Ramelli*, University of Zurich (join with Marie Brìere) *16.15 Coffee break and POSTER SESSION** * *16.45 Session IV: Compounding Risks (World Bank joint project)* • /TBA - /*Nicola Ann Ranger*, World Bank & Oxford University • /Assessing the Macrofinancial Impacts of Compouding COVID-19 and Climate Risks - /*Irene Monasterolo*, Vienna University of Economics and Business & Boston University *Social dinner * *Friday, September 24, 2021* * 09.15 Session V: Finance and Climate Change * • *Keynote talk:* /Climate Financial Risk: Portfolios and Stress Tests - /*Robert F.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Dario Trevisan
by Mario Maurelli 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Dario Trevisan* (Università di Pisa) Title: *On Minimal Spanning Trees for Random Euclidean Bipartite Graphs* Abstract: The minimum spanning tree (MST) problem is a combinatorial optimization problem with many applications, well beyond its historical introduction for network design. The study of its random instances on Euclidean models, e.g., on complete graphs obtained by sampling i.i.d. uniform points on a d-dimensional cube, is classical, with many limit results as the number of the points grows. In this talk, I will present two new results for its bipartite counterpart, i.e., with an additional colouring (red/blue) of the points and allowing connections only between different colours. First, we prove that the maximum vertex degree of the MST grows logarithmically, in contrast with the non-bipartite case, where a uniform bound holds, depending on d only -- a fact crucially used in many classical results. Despite this difference, we then argue that the cost of the MST, suitably normalized, converge a.s. to a limiting constant that can be represented as a series of integrals, thus extending a result of Avram and Bertsimas to the bipartite case and confirming a conjecture by Riva, Malatesta and Caracciolo. Joint work with M. Correddu, Università di Pisa. Date and time: *Monday July 12, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)* *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Seminar announcement July Thursday 8 - Metastability for the dilute Curie-Weiss model with Glauber dynamics (prof. Elena Pulvirenti)
by Gianmarco Bet 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, On July Thursday 8 at 14:00, prof. Elena Pulvirenti (TU Delft) will give a virtual seminar “in Florence”, to which you are all invited. You can find title and abstract below. Title: Metastability for the dilute Curie-Weiss model with Glauber dynamics Abstract: We analyse the metastable behaviour of the dilute Curie–Weiss model subject to a Glauber dynamics. The model is a random version of a mean-field Ising model, where the coupling coefficients are replaced by i.i.d. random coefficients, e.g. Bernoulli random variables with fixed parameter p. This model can be also viewed as an Ising model on the Erdos–Renyi random graph with edge probability p. The system is a Markov chain where spins flip according to a Metropolis dynamics at inverse temperature \beta. We compute the average time the system takes to reach the stable phase when it starts from a certain probability distribution on the metastable state (called the last-exit biased distribution), in the regime where the system size goes to infinity, the inverse temperature is larger than 1 and the magnetic field is positive and small enough. We obtain asymptotic bounds on the probability of the event that the mean metastable hitting time is approximated by that of the Curie–Weiss model. The proof uses the potential theoretic approach to metastability and concentration of measure inequalities. This is a joint collaboration with Anton Bovier (Bonn) and Saeda Marello (Bonn). The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below.

Seminar by Prof. Giorgio Ferrari in Padova and via Zoom!
by Giorgia Callegaro 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

Dear all, it's a pleasure to announce the forthcoming seminar by Giorgio Ferrari, which will be held in room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department (Torre Archimede) of the University of Padova and online, via Zoom, next week. Here are the details: * Date and time: 7 July, 14.30 pm * Title: Multidimensional singular control and related Skorokhod problem: sufficient conditions for the characterization of optimal controls * Abstract: Singular stochastic control problems naturally arise in applications and are intimately related to variational inequalities and free-boundary problems. A key difficulty in the analysis of singular stochastic control problems in multiple dimensions concerns the characterization of an optimal policy, being the latter typically related to the construction of a stochastic process with reflecting boundary conditions. In this talk we show how to construct the optimal control for a class of singular stochastic control problems as the unique solution to a related Skorokhod reflection problem. The considered optimization problems concern the minimization of a discounted cost functional over an infinite time-horizon through a process of bounded variation affecting an Itô-diffusion. The setting is multidimensional, the dynamics of the state and the costs are convex, the volatility matrix can be constant or linear in the state. We prove that the optimal control acts only when the underlying diffusion attempts to exit the so-called waiting region, and that the direction of this action is prescribed by the derivative of the value function. Our approach is based on the study of a suitable monotonicity property of the derivative of the value function through its interpretation as the value of an optimal stopping game. Such a monotonicity allows to construct nearly optimal policies which reflect the underlying diffusion at the boundary of approximating waiting regions. The limit of this approximation scheme then provides the desired characterization. Our result applies to a relevant class of linear-quadratic models, among others. Furthermore, it allows to construct the optimal control in degenerate and non degenerate settings considered in the literature, where this important aspect was only partially addressed. The talk is based on a joint work with Jodi Dianetti. * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/news/multidimensional-singular-control-and-relate… Thanks for your attention and see you soon in Padova, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

*** Apologize for cross-posting *** On *July 14 at 17:00, Matteo Brachetta* (Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano <https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_org&hl=it&org=39070900387…>) will give a virtual seminar “in Insubria & Bicocca”, to which you are all invited. You can find the title and abstract below. Title: *Optimal Public Debt Management* Abstract: Public debt management is one of the most relevant topics in Economics, especially after economic crises due to wars, pandemics or economic recession. We discuss a class of debt management problems in a stochastic environment model. We propose a model for the Debt-to-GDP ratio where the government interventions (via fiscal policies) affect the public debt and the GDP growth rate at the same time. We allow for a stochastic interest rate on debt and possible correlation with the GDP growth rate. Indeed, both the interest rate and the GDP growth depend on a stochastic factor, which may represent any relevant macroeconomic variable, such as economic conditions. Moreover, shocks on debt and GDP can be correlated. We tackle the problem of a government whose goal is to determine the fiscal policy (quantity of surplus or deficit) in order to minimize a general functional cost. We prove that the value function is a viscosity solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and provide a Verification Theorem based on classical solutions. Then we discuss two applications, namely debt reduction and debt smoothing, providing explicit results. The seminar will be on *Zoom*. You can find the information to join below.

pst-doc in Statistics, University of Florence
by Monia Lupparelli 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

* Apologise for cross-posting * Dear Colleagues, I would like to inform you that a post-doc in Statistics is available in the Department of Statistics, Computer Science, Applications at the University of Florence, under the supervision of Prof. Monia Lupparelli and Prof. Francesco C. Stingo. Deadline for application: July 12th 2021 Starting date: November 1st 2021 Research topic: Bayesian model search for profile undirected graphical models The research project aims to develop a graphical modelling approach to study the effect that a risk factor may have on a set of random variables and on their joint dependence structure. This issue could be partially addressed by using chain graph or multiple graph models: the first method ignores how the dependence structure may vary under different profiles defined by the external factor, the second does not account for the effect of the factor on single variables. The research should develop a class of profile graphical models to fill the gap between the existent graphical approaches. As far as inference is concerned, model selection represents a crucial aspect since compatibility constraints for the model identifiability need to be considered. The idea is to implement Bayesian stochastic search approaches for the selection and inference of discrete profile graphs, both for moderate and high dimensional data. The proposed methodology will be applied to biomedical data. Details can be found at https://bandi.miur.it/bandi.php/public/fellowship/id_fellow/192962 <https://bandi.miur.it/bandi.php/public/fellowship/id_fellow/192962> and https://titulus.unifi.it/albo/viewer?view=files%2F004108400-UNFICLE-701729a… <https://titulus.unifi.it/albo/viewer?view=files/004108400-UNFICLE-701729a1-…> Best Regards, Monia Lupparelli ----------------------------------------- Monia Lupparelli, PhD Department of Statistics, Computer Science, Applications University of Florence Viale Morgagni 59, 50134 Florence, IT Phone +39 055 2751579

Annuncio: GNU TeXmacs versione 2.1
by Massimiliano Gubinelli 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Cari colleghi, insieme ad altri ricercatori da molti anni sviluppiamo un editor di testi scientifici (e non) che si chiama TeXmacs (www.texmacs.org) e che permette di scrivere articoli, preparare presentazioni, etc.. rimpiazzando l'uso dei vari sistemi basati su TeX con un'interfaccia più sintetica e moderna. TeXmacs non è basato su TeX ma può esportare i documenti in vari formati, tra cui HTML, PDF o appunto (La)TeX. Il software è libero, parte del progetto GNU (per chi conosce questa iniziativa e i suoi scopi) e compatibile con Mac, Windows e i vari sistemi Linux. È un sistema che per molti di noi è diventato uno strumento di uso quotidiano, sia nella didattica (sopratutto in questo periodo di insegnamento a distanza) che nella ricerca e nella produzione di documentazione scientifica: articoli, tesi, libri. Da poco abbiamo rilasciato la versione 2.1 che rappresenta il consolidamento del nostro lavoro dell'ultimo decennio e all'occasione cerchiamo di fare un po' di pubblicità all'iniziativa per favorirne la diffusione. In particolare abbiamo prodotto un corto video di presentazione (~4 min) che riassume le caratteristiche salienti del sistema: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H46ON2FB30U In rete trovate anche varie risorse di informazione: un sito web dove scaricare il programma, un forum e delle liste di diffusione. Per maggiori dettagli faccio seguire il messaggio ufficiale in inglese. Sperando che questa iniziativa possa essere di interesse e utile, vi porgo cordiali saluti, Massimiliano Gubinelli -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleague, We are happy to announce the release of GNU TeXmacs 2.1, a free scientific office suite that you may download from https://www.texmacs.org The core of the system is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get structured text editor with support for mathematical formulas. For a short overview, you may watch the following video (3 min 40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H46ON2FB30U TeXmacs is unique in its ability to produce documents with the highest typographical quality using a user friendly interface. The software also comes with an integrated presentation tool, a picture editor, version control, a bibliography tool, interfaces to various mathematical computation systems, and much more... GNU TeXmacs is not based on TeX/LaTeX, but comes with high quality converters from and to LaTeX, as well as Html/MathML/MathJax. In order to get started with TeXmacs, we recommend that you watch one or more of our introductory videos: https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/videos.en.html The software provides integrated documentation and a manual that can be downloaded from https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/help/book.en.html A new book about TeXmacs is available here: https://www.scypress.com/book_info.html For further questions, don't hesitate to ask on one of our mailing lists or on the TeXmacs forum. With our best regards, The TeXmacs team

Dear colleagues, I am happy to forward you the following announcements of two seminars in Quantitative Finance organized by LTI@UniTO and Collegio Carlo Alberto: * Matthijs Breugem (CCA) on Tuesday, June 29th: "On the impact of Long Term Investors on Information Choice and Market Efficiency" * Carole Bernard (Grenoble Ecole de Management) on Thursday July 1st: "Option-implied dependence and correlation risk premium". Please find below the abstract and the zoom links. Best regards, Luca Regis <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/SNnQ5aISnSkDsUrrKkdJ5noQSxbj4pJWMq…> <#> LTI@Unito and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinars <#> *June 29, 2021 | 12:00 - 13:00* *“On The Impact of Long Term Investors on Information Choice and Market Efficiency”* *Matthijs Breugem (Collegio Carlo Alberto)* <#> *Abstract* We analyze the impact of investor investment horizon on information acquisition and market efficiency in an REE economy with short-term and long-term investors. We find that the presence of long-term investors increases the willingness of short-term investors to acquire long-term information. Specifically, short-term investors care about long-term information to the extent that future prices—at which they liquidate their investments—reflect long-term payoffs. Long-term investors acquire long-term information and therefore increase the price-informativeness of future prices. Therefore, the larger the fraction of long-term investors, the more long-term payoffs are reflected into future prices, and the more long-term information is acquired by short-term investors. *Zoom Link:* *https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83290754621?pwd=Q3NoaWlIdXpnSkovdjlRTXE1OE5jdz09 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/PA1lvCniowZZn-8vKUfINTd51_6qus8e1k…>* Meeting ID: 832 9075 4621 Passcode: 359187 <#> *July 1, 2021 | 12:00 - 13:00* *“Option-Implied Dependence and Correlation Risk Premium”* *Carole Bernard (Grenoble Ecole de Management)* <#> *Abstract* We propose a novel model-free approach to obtain the joint risk-neutral distribution among several assets that is consistent with market prices of options on these assets and their weighted index. In an empirical application, we use options on the S&P 500 index and its nine industry sectors. The results of our analysis reveal that the option-implied dependence for the nine sectors is highly nonnormal, asymmetric, and time-varying. We then study two conditional correlations: when the market moves down or up. The risk premium for the down correlation is strongly negative, while the opposite is true for the up correlation. These findings are consistent with the economic intuition that investors dislike the loss of diversification when markets fall, but they actually prefer high correlation when markets rally. *Zoom link: * *https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81288915014?pwd=YjEzZVpIcG9XV0dIQ0VIT3U1MlNvQT09* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/UPvaJBcnB9yu8Re-TR7dBnNYNJyWPZXbUf…> Meeting ID: 812 8891 5014 Passcode: 967992 <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/iyOIzzg_nVx7Bu3-NolrUvwYpV1JmU_hFp…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Et9Pc4YQXTY89y_CV5p_IUhO4DxipOFuoI…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/yVeI_QEUL9xx9EqhVQgfTjU0cwCU5_VhvC…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/0kMzTVLZsJ-Syk4mMhudyxU14AXIlPy9yW…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/QYDynuy101bf3yF94teX10r5klyqsB8YBx…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/qnxIbHpfFwuutvK3uttAeswc2cRYOxE0tz…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/_BlSIp8G775XAxS37E-KhH0lDg1opLCsE-…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Lucia Caramellino [Monday June 28 at 5:30pm]
by Maurizia Rossi 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Lucia Caramellino* (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata") Title: *Regularization lemmas and convergence in total variation.* Abstract: We provide a simple abstract formalism of integration by parts under which we obtain some regularization lemmas. These lemmas apply to any sequence of random variables which are smooth and non-degenerated in some sense and enable one to upgrade the distance of convergence from a smooth (Wasserstein e.g.) distance to the total variation in a quantitative way. We provide a result removing the costly assumption that some non-degeneracy is required along the whole sequence, as we require only non-degeneracy at the limit. The price to pay is to control the smooth distance between the Malliavin matrix of the sequence and the Malliavin matrix of the limit which is particularly easy in the context of Gaussian limits as their Malliavin matrix is deterministic. We show some applications of this result. >From joint papers with Vlad Bally and Guillaume Poly. Date and time: * Monday June 28, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)* *Zoom link: * https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82036797456?pwd=bFpXZndKOHFxOTNrUkd0OVhub09qZz09 ID riunione: 820 3679 7456 Passcode: t0Db9B This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics *organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Buongiorno vi giro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani (notate che nella mail scrivono June 25 ma poi hanno mandato una seconda mail di rettifica). Buona giornata Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 23 giu 2021 alle ore 08:14 Subject: [owps] OWPS Talks June 25 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Dear All, Thursday June 25 we have a session on Probability Theory and Population Genetics, Speakers: Cornelia Pokalyuk and Anton Wakolbinger. This is the last session before the summer break! (Note: the time is in UTC. Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-16:00 UTC) Speakers: Cornelia Pokalyuk and Anton Wakolbinger Fixation of slightly beneficial alleles from a backward and a forward perspective Cornelia Pokalyuk and Anton Wakolbinger (Goethe Universität Frankfurt) For a slightly beneficial mutant whose mean offspring number is by a factor 1+s larger than that of the wild types, the probability of being established in a large population is \approx 2s/v^2, where v^2 is the offspring variance. This approximation has been derived (for v^2=1) by Haldane (1927). In our tandem talk we will present some mathematics behind and beyond Haldane's formula within the class of Cannings models (which in the neutral case generalize the prototypic Wright-Fisher model from multinomial to exchangeable offspring numbers). It turns out that for ``moderately strong'' selection the {\em forward perspective} of the Galton-Watson approximation helps to prove the Haldane asymptotics in the large population limit, whereas for ``moderately weak'' selection a {\em backward perspective} is appropriate, which relies on an ancestral selection graph in discrete time. These parts of the presentation are based on F. Boenkost, A. Gonz\’alez Casanova, C.P., A.W., Haldane's formula in Cannings models: - The case of moderately weak selection, Electron. J. Probab. 26(4) (2021) - The case of moderately strong selection, arXiv:2008.02225 [1] [math.PR], submitted. In the last part of the talk we will give an outlook on work in progress on analoga of Haldane's formula for a class of Cannings models with asymptotically infinite offspring variance. A.

Care/i iscritte/i, il Dipartimento di Scienze di Base e Applicate per l'Ingegneria di "Sapienza Università di Roma" bandisce un *assegno di ricerca di categoria B - tipologia I* annuale (rinnovabile) dal titolo "*Analisi e sviluppo di modelli per l'interazione tra molecole di DNA e substrato nanostrutturato*" all'interno del Progetto DIANA - "DIAgnostic potential of disorder: development of an innovative NAnostructured platform for rapid, label-free and low-cost analysis of genomic DNA" (IT) Il progetto di ricerca riguarda lo sviluppo e l’applicazione di tecniche statistiche finalizzate allo studio di dati spettrali ottenuti dall’analisi per deposizione diretta della soluzione contenente le molecole target di DNA genomico su vetrini standard da microscopia appositamente ricoperti dalle nanostrutture sonda e letti da apparati Raman. In particolare, al fine di analizzare i risultati sperimentali, saranno applicati diversi metodi statistici per ridurre ed interpretare i dati ottenuti, come ad esempio l’Analisi in Componenti Principali (ACP) o l’Analisi Fattoriale (AF). L’obiettivo sarà quello di individuare eventuali clusters di dati associati a possibili esiti nell’ambito della diagnostica del DNA in campo oncologico. Ulteriore finalità sarà quindi quella di sviluppare modelli predittivi, in grado di individuare l’appartenenza ad un determinato cluster di nuovi dati. Il lavoro di analisi statistica sarà sviluppato mediante uno o più linguaggi di programmazione (R Cran, Python, Matlab...). (EN) The research project regards the development and the application of statistical techniques aimed to study spectral data obtained by the analysis of spectral data from the direct deposition of the solution containing target molecules of genomic DNA on standard microscopy slides covered by the probe nanostructures and read by Raman machines. In particular, to analyze the experimental results, several different methods will be applied to the data, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Factorial Analysis (FA). The target is to identify potential clusters of data related to possible outcomes in the setting of DNA diagnostic in the oncology framework. Another goal is to develop predictive models, to identify the belonging of new data to a given cluster. The work of statistical analysis will be performed within one or more programming languages (R Cran, Python, Matlab...) La scadenza del bando è il *17 Luglio 2021* Maggiori informazioni, bando e materiale per la domande sono reperibili qua https://web.uniroma1.it/trasparenza/dettaglio_bando_albo/178055/2021-07-17T… Cordiali saluti -- Claudio Durastanti Dipartimento di Scienze di Base Applicate per l'Ingegneria La Sapienza - Università di Roma Via Antonio Scarpa 16 00161 Roma -- ________________________________________________________ Le informazioni contenute in questo messaggio di posta elettronica sono strettamente riservate e indirizzate esclusivamente al destinatario.

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio del OWPS di domani. Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 16 giu 2021 alle ore 08:05 Subject: [owps] To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Dear All, Thursday June 17 we have two talks, by Amir Dembo and Nick Cook. (Note: all times are in UTC. Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Amir Dembo Sparse random graphs with unusually large subgraph counts In this talk, based on joint works with Nicholas Cook, Huy Tuan Pham and Sohom Bhattacharya, I will discuss recent developments in the emerging theory of nonlinear large deviations, focusing on sharp upper tails for counts of several fixed subgraphs in a large sparse random graph (such as Erdős–Rényi or uniformly d-regular). These results allow in turn to determine the typical structure of samples from an associated class of Gibbs measures, known as Exponential Random Graph Models, which are widely used in the analysis of social networks. (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Nicholas Cook Large deviations and the regularity method for the Erdős–Rényi (hyper)graph I will describe a quantitative approach to the large deviations of random graphs and hypergraphs, emphasizing connections with graph limit theory and the regularity method from extremal combinatorics. The approach rests on new decomposition theorems and counting lemmas for sparse hypergraphs, formulated in terms of a novel class of cut-type norms for Bernoulli tensors. Based on joint work with Amir Dembo and Huy Tuan Pham. The Zoom link is on the OWPS webpage.

Padova Online Seminar by Paolo Dai Pra (Università di Verona) [Friday, June 25 at 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on June 25 at 14.30 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Paolo Dai Pra (Università di Verona) Title: The social dilemma of stubborness vs. herding in social decisions: a mean field (game) model. 25 JUNE (Friday) - 14:30 zoom link: TBA available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: We study a mean field game in continuous time over a finite horizon, T, where the state of each agent is binary and where players base their strategic decisions on two, possibly competing, factors: the willingness to align with the majority (herding) and the aspiration of sticking with the own type (stubbornness). While the corresponding N-player game possesses a unique Nash equilibrium, the mean field game has a variety of equilibria and phase transitions. The large N limit of the unique equilibrium of the N-player game selects one equilibrium of the mean field game; this selection appears to be highly nontrivial and will be discussed mostly on the base of simulations. -- 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/

Seminar announcement Thursday 24 - Limit theorems for exponential random graphs (dr. Elena Magnanini)
by Gianmarco Bet 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, On June Thursday 24 at 15:30, dr. Elena Magnanini (Università degli Studi di Padova) will give a virtual seminar “in Florence”, to which you are all invited. You can find title and abstract below. Title: Limit theorems for exponential random graphs Abstract: In the present talk we focus on the derivation of some asymptotic properties for the family of exponential random graphs. This model can be seen as the generalization of the dense Erdӧs-Rényi random graph and follows the statistical mechanics approach of defining a Hamiltonian to weight the probability measure on the space of graphs, assigning higher mass to graphs with “desirable” properties. In particular our analysis will be focused on the edge-triangle model, a two-parameter family of exponential random graphs where the Hamiltonian only includes edge and triangle densities. We borrow tools from statistical mechanics together with large deviations techniques to obtain limit theorems for the edge density in the so-called replica symmetric regime, where the limiting free energy of the model is known together with a complete characterization of the phase diagram. First, we determine the asymptotic distribution of the edge density, as the graph size n tends to infinity, in the entire replica symmetric regime. We then study the fluctuations of the edge density around its average for all parameter values outside the critical curve and off the critical point and we formulate conjectures about the behavior at criticality based on the analysis of a mean-field approximation of the model. Some of our results can be extended with no substantial changes to more general classes of exponential random graphs. Joint work with Alessandra Bianchi and Francesca Collet. The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below.

Dear Colleagues, I am happy to share with you the following invitation to the Quantative Finance webinar organized by LTI@UniTO and Collegio Carlo Alberto, “Investor Behavior under Prospect Theory: Evidence from Mutual Funds” by Lorenzo Schoenleber (CCA), which will take place on Zoom on June 14th, at 12.45. Below you find the Zoom link and an abstract of the presentation. Best regards, Luca Regis <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/CkeqzI9VH3wAjL0mIewldcmVdn9Kyki4A1…> <#> LTI@Unito and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinar <#> *June 14, 2021 | 12:45 - 13:45* *“Investor Behavior under Prospect Theory: Evidence from Mutual Funds”* *Lorenzo Schoenleber (Collegio Carlo Alberto)* <#> *Abstract. *This paper studies the investment behavior of investors and fund managers within the mutual funds industry. We find that investors are biased in their mutual fund purchase decisions in a way described by prospect theory: The prospect theory value predicts future mutual fund flows, despite the fact that it is not related to the mutual funds’ future performance. We show that the mutual funds’ prospect theory value contains incremental information compared to historical performance measures already discovered in the mutual fund flow literature, and subsumes the information content of variables related to the convexity in the flow-performance relationship. We find that mutual fund managers are not subject to any behavioral bias identifiable by prospect theory when selecting stocks for their mutual fund portfolio. The results are robust to various specifications. *Zoom Link:* *https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85611292343?pwd=U1dwYXZrZFQvR0RaZGwvZmplS2tFUT09 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/79Qh76oDew-iI1lTKKd-JiGNLs42TkHRfm…>* Meeting ID: 856 1129 2343 Passcode: 401236 <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/YmtAmHu7JhL3tEkSBLOh9PvpHnMR_PZzOe…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/AWpDX3iRxSwhx4MX6D5K64D_f2W6jUS_f2…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/4RHP7RFelHmPbN3l7D0GqNF1iSMpQHHnP4…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/EPbbUwncGLMOBC2qw2aNITsMvBTfaFVZcL…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/DcHnPK_RQAOSwsn5P0Ykl5hEaDyjahuL3n…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/EUM8gEcq3q4LvNepOA15xKXC8xWWbOaKbx…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/9VeN44_sxivBMcSIflgJy1DuZHDI0j6YLh…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Vincent Martinez, Monday June 14 at 17.30
by Margherita Zanella 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Vincent Martinez (CUNY Hunter College) Title: On unique ergodicity, regularity, and mixing for the weakly-damped stochastic KdV equation. Abstract: We discuss the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of invariant measures for the damped-driven stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equation, where the noise is additive and sufficiently non-degenerate. It is shown that a simple, but versatile control strategy, typically employed to establish exponential mixing for strongly dissipative systems such as the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, can nevertheless be applied in this weakly dissipative setting to establish elementary proofs of both unique ergodicity, albeit without mixing rates, as well as regularity of the support of the invariant measure. Under the assumption of large damping, however, a one-force, one-solution principle is established, from which we are able to deduce the existence of a spectral gap with respect to a Wasserstein distance-like function. Date and time: Monday June 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85740643260?pwd=SzFjTXo0bWE3YjI3VWo0b3krT09kdz09 ID riunione: 857 4064 3260 Passcode: w7yJLi This talk is the fourth of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Conference at CIRM
by Giovanni Conforti 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Cari colleghi, Ecco l'annuncio di una conferenza al CIRM di Marsiglia che potrebbe interessarvi. Giovanni Dear All, We are happy to announce the upcoming conference “Schrödinger Problem and Mean-field PDE Systems: Computational and Theoretical Advances” taking place at CIRM in Luminy, France from Nov. 15 to Nov. 19 2021. The webpage of the event is publicly available at https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/2413.html and you can find below a brief description of the themes of the conference. Registration is open until July 1st. At the moment we aim for a hybrid (online+in person) conference, but this could change depending on the development of the pandemic. Limited funding is available for junior participants or participants who cannot support themselves. Moreover, there are also some free slots for contributed talks. We hope to see you soon, in whichever form. Best regards, the organizers. Julio Backhoff, Guillaume Carlier, Giovanni Conforti, Ivan Gentil, Daniela Tonon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Schrödinger Problem and Mean-field PDE Systems: Computational and Theoretical Advances” Monge’s question of how to optimally move sand-pile stands at the origin of the modern theory of optimal transport. The development of this theory over the last decades led to impressive advances in analysis and geometry, reaching out to applied fields such as economics and machine learning. One and a half century after Monge, Schrödinger asked: “What is the most likely evolution of a cloud of random particles conditionally on the observation of their initial and final configurations? "This question, going under the name of Schödinger Problem, initiated a research line that has grown enormously in the last years since it was understood that Schrödinger’s and Monge’s questions are the same when the fluctuations of the random particles are very small. This discovery offered a natural ground for the theories of optimal transport and large deviations to meet and thrive together. At the same time, it also inspired the use of entropic regularization techniques in machine learning and numerics for PDEs, achieving major computational advantages. Asking Schrödinger’s question for strategic particles is the gateway to connect the Schrödinger problem and large deviations with the theory of mean field stochastic control and planning mean field games. This brings to light new mathematical questions. Can entropic regularization speed up the computation of Nash equilibria? Are there new functional inequalities that capture the ergodic behaviour of mean field games? Bringing together researchers from the areas of probability, optimal transport, statistical machine learning and mean field games, this conference aims to strengthen the interplay between the Schrödinger problem and mean field systems, and facilitate the birth of novel methodologies and results.

Fwd: [owps] OWPS: two talks thursday June 3
by Faggionato, Alessandra 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

Buongiorno, inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS per chi fosse interessato. Grazie per l'attenzione. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Messaggio inoltrato ---------- Da: *One World Probability* <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Data: mercoledì 2 giugno 2021 Oggetto: [owps] OWPS: two talks thursday June 3 A: owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk Dear All, we have two talks tomorrow, by Gerard Ben Arous and Benjamin McKenna, see below. Remember that we start 14:00 UTC which is 16:00 CET! 14:00-15:00 Gerard Ben Arous The topology of the elastic manifold This is joint work with Paul Bourgade and Benjamin McKenna (both Courant Institute, NYU) and relies on the joint recent papers arXiv:2105.05051 and arXiv:2105.05000. The elastic manifold is a paradigmatic representative of the class of disordered elastic systems. These models describe random surfaces with rugged shapes resulting from a competition between random spatial impurities (preferring disordered configurations), on the one hand, and elastic self-interactions (preferring ordered configurations), on the other. The elastic manifold model is interesting because it displays a depinning phase transition and has a long history as a testing ground for new approaches in statistical physics of disordered media, for example for fixed dimension by Fisher (1986) using functional renormalization group methods, and in the high-dimensional limit by Mézard and Parisi (1992) using the replica method or by Le Doussal-Mueller-Wiese (2007) which relies on functional renormalization group. We study the topology of the energy landscape of this model in the Mézard-Parisi setting, and compute the (annealed) topological complexity both of total critical points and of local minima. Our main result confirms the recent formulas obtained by Fyodorov and Le Doussal (2020). It identifies the boundary between simple and glassy phases, as well as the nature of the phase transition. The main argument relies naturally on Random Matrix Theory, through the Kac-Rice formula. 15:00 - 16:00 UTC Benjamin McKenna Random determinants beyond invariance This is partially joint work with Gérard Ben Arous and Paul Bourgade (both Courant Institute, NYU) and relies on the recent joint paper arXiv:2105.05000 and solo paper arXiv:2105.05043. To study the topology of high-dimensional random functions via the Kac-Rice formula, the core requirement is the analysis of the asymptotic behavior of large random determinants in the exponential scale. For models like the elastic manifold, these random determinants are not invariant under the usual groups of symmetries, as for usual models of spherical spin glasses for instance. Thus their asymptotic evaluation is rather delicate. We give an abstract result for the behavior of large random determinants beyond the invariant case, which cover many other interesting models beyond the elastic manifold. As an example of one such model, we discuss bipartite spherical spin glasses. The Zoom link is on the OWPS webpage.

Pisa Online Seminars - J. Corujo and W. Van Zuijlen (Tuesday, June 8 at 15:00 and 16:00)
by Giacomo Filippo Di Gesu 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa. The two talks will be accessible under the link Click here to join<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:af3d635091e049579e555a84219ab3…"Tid":"c7456b31-a220-47f5-be52-473828670aa1","Oid":"dfd1e5f6-331d-43e0-a180-4bb6ce727fb7"}> Best regards, Giacomo Tuesday, June 8, 15:00 Speaker: Josué Corujo (Université Paris Dauphine) Title: Spectrum and ergodicity of a neutral multi-allelic Moran model Abstract: We will present some recent results on the study of a neutral multi-allelic Moran model, which is a finite continuous-time Markov process. For this process, it is assumed that the individuals interact according to two processes: a mutation process where they mutate independently of each other according to an irreducible rate matrix, and a Moran type reproduction process, where two individuals are uniformly chosen, one dies and the other is duplicated. During this talk we will discuss some recent results for the spectrum of the generator of the neutral multi-allelic Moran process, providing explicit expressions for its eigenvalues in terms of the eigenvalues of the rate matrix that drives the mutation process. Our approach does not require that the mutation process be reversible, or even diagonalizable. Additionally, we will discuss some applications of these results to the study of the speed of convergence to stationarity of the Moran process for a process with general mutation scheme. We specially focus on the case where the mutation scheme satisfies the so called "parent independent" condition, where (and only where) the neutral Moran model becomes reversible. In this later case we can go further and prove the existence of a cutoff phenomenon for the convergence to stationarity. This presentation is based on a recently submitted work, for which a preprint is available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.08809. Tuesday, June 8, 16:00 Speaker: Willem Van Zuijlen (WIAS) Title: Total mass asymptotics of the parabolic Anderson model Abstract: We consider the parabolic Anderson model with a white noise potential in two dimensions. This model is also called the stochastic heat equation with a multiplicative noise. We study the large time asymptotics of the total mass of the solution. Due to the irregularity of the white noise, in two dimensions the equation is a priori not well-posed. Using paracontrolled calculus or regularity structures one can make sense of the equation by a renormalisation, which can be thought of as ''subtracting infinity of the potential''. To obtain the asymptotics of the total mass we use the spectral decomposition, an alternative Feynman-Kac type representation and heat-kernel estimates which come from joint works with Khalil Chouk, Wolfgang König and Nicolas Perkowski. ************************ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it<mailto:giacomo.digesu@unipi.it> https://sites.google.com/site/giacomodigesu/

Seminar on Stochastic Games by M. MNIF "in Padova" (Zoom)
by Giorgia Callegaro 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, this email is to announce the Probability and Finance seminar of this week, "in Padova" (Zoom). Here are the details: * Speaker: *M. MNIF* (University of Monastir, Tunisia) * Title: *Nonzero-sum stochastic Impulse Games with an application in competitive retail energy markets* * Date: *Friday June 4*, 2021 at 3 pm (ITA time) * Abstract: We study a nonzero-sum stochastic differential game with both players adopting impulse controls, on a finite time horizon. We derive the corresponding system of quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs in short). We prove, by means of the weak dynamic programming principle for the stochastic differential game, that the value function of each player is the unique viscosity solution to the associated QVIs system. We present a probabilistic numerical scheme which approximates the solution of the QVIs system and we give some numerical results. *** Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/85706083496 Have a nice day, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Webinar Volgushev @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 31 May '21

31 May '21

We announce the following webinar from the Statistics Series at Università Bocconi: Date: Thursday, June 3rd, h17:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Stanislav Volgushev (University of Toronto) Title: Structure learning for Extremes Abstract: Extremal graphical models are sparse statistical models for multivariate extreme events. The underlying graph encodes conditional independencies and enables a visual interpretation of the complex extremal dependence structure. For the important case of tree models, we provide a data-driven methodology for learning the graphical structure. We show that sample versions of the extremal correlation and a new summary statistic, which we call the extremal variogram, can be used as weights for a minimum spanning tree to consistently recover the true underlying tree. Remarkably, this implies that extremal tree models can be learned in a completely non-parametric fashion by using simple summary statistics and without the need to assume discrete distributions, existence of densities, or parametric models for marginal or bivariate distributions. Extensions to more general graphs are also discussed. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://zoom.us/j/97942632075?pwd=eDhNTlREdU5UVGpMcDVPSWV2bU5nQT09 Meeting ID: 979 4263 2075 Passcode: 627490 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella [La tua firma può scrivere un futuro.

29 May '21

Cari colleghi il prossimo incontro per il ciclo di seminari Prisma (speaker: Francesco Caravenna e Maurizia Rossi) si svolgerà lunedì 7 Giugno alle ore 16 sulla piattaforma Teams; qui sotto il link, i titoli e gli abstract. Grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci e Claudia Ceci Link collegamento: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a667d2414be564c5d8fba30acffeb… Speaker: Francesco Caravenna (Università di Milano-Bicocca) Title: Central limit theorems in disordered systems and stochastic PDEs Abstract: I will present some recent convergence results toward Gaussian processes, that arise from statistical mechanics models and stochastic PDEs connected to the so-called KPZ equation. These results may be viewed as generalised central limit theorems and they can be proved with a blend of old and new techniques, whose wide interest I will try to illustrate. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Speaker: Maurizia Rossi (Università di Milano-Bicocca) Title: The geometry of random waves Abstract: In this talk we investigate the behavior of the "typical" eigenfunction of a compact Riemannian manifold. In particular, motivated by both Yau's conjecture on nodal sets and Berry's ansatz on planar random waves, we consider random spherical harmonics and study the distribution of the length of their nodal lines for large eigenvalues. These results raise several questions regarding both the distribution of other geometric functionals of excursion sets at any level and the behavior of nodal statistics of random eigenfunctions of a "generic" manifold. In this talk we answer some of these questions, relying on recent developments in the theory of local geometry of random fields and Gaussian Kinematic Formulae à la Adler & Taylor. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
