Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Christoph Thaele (University of Bochum, Germany)
by Marco Formentin 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on January 28 at 14.30. The seminar will be held online via the Zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Christoph Thaele (University of Bochum, Germany)  Title: Poisson hyperplanes in hyperbolic space  JANUARY 28 (Friday) - 14:30 Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88182977183 (meeting ID 881 8297 7183), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In the focus of this talk are random tessellations in hyperbolic space induced by Poisson point processes on the space of hyperbolic hyperplanes (totally geodesic subspaces of co-dimension 1). In the first part of the talk we consider the so-called k-skeleton of such tessellations and prove that, when observed in a sequence of increasing observation windows, the k-volume of the k-skeleton satisfies a central limit theorem only for dimensions 2 and 3 and that asymptotic normality fails in all higher dimensions. In the second part of the talk we determine the non-Gaussian limiting distribution for the special case k=d-1 and indicate possible generalizations. On behalf of the organizers, Marco Formentin

Each vertex represents an individual which may be susceptible, infected or removed. At the beginning only one node is infected and each node $x$ has a random spread capacity $L_x$. Once infected, the node $x$ becomes an emitter and has $L_x$ attempts to infect other nodes, which are randomly chosen. If the attempt is towards a susceptible node $y$, then $y$ becomes infected, if it is towards an infected or removed node, then $x$ loses an infection attempt. > When $x$ has used all its spread capacity, it becomes removed and no longer interacts with the rest of the population. This model was studied by Comets et al. in the case where the spread capacities are i.i.d. and the nodes which one attempt to infect are chosen uniformly. > We study the case where the population is divided into J types and each type has a possibly different susceptibility, that is, some individuals have a larger probability of being chosen as targets. Also the law of the spread capacity may depend on the type. We obtain a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the duration of the process and the proportion of infected nodes. We prove that when the spread capacity is homogeneous, then a population with inhomogeneous susceptibility is overall less affected by the epidemics than a population with homogeneous susceptibility. > > This is joint work with J.Kampf, E.Sava-Huss and F.Zucca. > > > Webex meeting, meeting link: > > {https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz-de/j.php?MTID=mfb7a477bc53fac8b0a6db53cf1f2690e} > > Meeting number: 2734 226 6767 > > Password: Je3q3w37mJG > > The meeting opens at 10:40, the 50min talk starts at 11:00 > > Organisator/in: W.

Seminario R. Scimone - Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Si avvisa che in data 14-01-2022, alle ore 15:00 precise, si svolgerà online il seguente seminario: Relatore: Riccardo Scimone, Politecnico di Milano Titolo: A look at the spatio-temporal mortality patterns in italy during the covid-19 pandemic through the lens of mortality densities Sommario: With the tools and perspective of Object Oriented Spatial Statistics, we analyze official daily data on mortality from all causes in the provinces and municipalities of Italy for the year 2020, the first of the COVID-19 pandemic. By comparison with mortality data from 2011 to 2019, we assess the local impact of the pandemic as perturbation factor of the natural spatio-temporal death process. For each Italian province and year, mortality data are represented by the densities of time of death during the calendar year. In this talk, the use of a density-on-density functional linear model, formulated to decouple temporal and spatial variability, will be firstly illustrated, followed by a spatial analysis focused on identifying the spatial correlation structure of the death process before and during the pandemic. An anomaly detection framework at the very granular scale of Italian municipalities will also be described. Il link per seguire il seminario sarà reso disponibile su https://mox.polimi.it/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2117 Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy tel: +39 02 2399 4554 fax: +39 02 2399 4568 email: laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> url: http://mox.polimi.it/~sangalli

Reminder: Webinar del Gruppo UMI-PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Carissim*, ricordiamo i prossimi seminari online promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 10 gennaio 2022 ore 16:00 Andrea Pascucci TITLE: Kolmogorov equations: old and new results ABSTRACT: In this talk I present a survey of results about linear and nonlinear equations of Kolmogorov type arising in physics and in mathematical finance. These equations typically satisfy a parabolic Hormander condition and induce rich intrinsic geometric structures. Results about the existence and regularity of solutions are presented. Recent applications to stochastic filtering are also discussed. ore 17:00 Elena Issoglio TITLE: McKean SDEs with singular coefficients ABSTRACT: In this talk we consider a class of SDEs with drift depending on the law density of the solution, known as McKean SDEs. The novelty here is that the drift is singular in the sense that it is `multiplied' by a generalised function (element of a negative fractional Sobolev space). Those equations are interpreted in the sense of a suitable singular martingale problem, thus a key tool is the study of the corresponding singular Fokker-Planck equation. We define the notion of solution to the singular McKean equation and show its existence and uniqueness. This is based on a joint work with F. Russo (ENSTA).

Webinar PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

Buongiorno a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare i prossimi seminari online promossi dal Gruppo UMI- PRISMA: Lunedi’ 10 gennaio 2022, ore 16-18 Andrea Pascucci TITLE: Kolmogorov equations: old and new results ABSTRACT: In this talk I present a survey of results about linear and nonlinear equations of Kolmogorov type arising in physics and in mathematical finance. These equations typically satisfy a parabolic Hormander condition and induce rich intrinsic geometric structures. Results about the existence and regularity of solutions are presented. Recent applications to stochastic filtering are also discussed. Elena Issoglio TITLE: McKean SDEs with singular coefficients ABSTRACT: In this talk we consider a class of SDEs with drift depending on the law density of the solution, known as McKean SDEs. The novelty here is that the drift is singular in the sense that it is `multiplied' by a generalised function (element of a negative fractional Sobolev space). Those equations are interpreted in the sense of a suitable singular martingale problem, thus a key tool is the study of the corresponding singular Fokker-Planck equation. We define the notion of solution to the singular McKean equation and show its existence and uniqueness. This is based on a joint work with F. Russo (ENSTA).

Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one?s life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire ? It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid."

Call for abstracts: "Statistical mechanics approaches to earth system dynamics'' EGU Session
by Giulia Carigi 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear Colleagues, with apologies for cross-posting, we would like to draw your attention to the session NP1.1 ``Statistical mechanics approaches to earth system dynamics: invariant measures, response, and large deviations'' to be held as part of the upcoming General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (Vienna, Austria, 3rd to 8th of April 2022). A short description of the session can be found here https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/42646 or at the end of this email. We would be very happy if you could consider submitting an abstract to this session. IMPORTANT: deadline for abstract submission is 12 January 2022, 13:00 CET For further info on abstract submission see here: https://egu22.eu/abstracts_and_programme/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html EGU2022 will be a hybrid conference – more information at https://egu22.eu/about/provisional_meeting_format.html Best wishes, Jochen Broecker (Convener), Vera Melinda Galfi, Giulia Carigi, Georgios Margazoglou, Jeroen Wouters (Co-Conveners) SESSION DESCRIPTION: The equations governing the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean provide us with an enormously powerful tool to understand and predict the future evolution of these dynamics. By integrating these equations forward in time from a given initial condition, we are able to produce highly realistic trajectories of the earth system's temporal evolution. A number of scientific questions however consider the statistical behaviour of solution ensembles, with the heterogeneity coming from different (yet ``typical'') initial conditions or random external forces. Examples are questions related to the global mean temperature or rainfall, the frequency of extreme events, but also questions regarding the average predictability of the system or its susceptibility to external perturbations. Statistical mechanics provides a framework in which such questions can be addressed. Rather than considering individual solutions, randomness and uncertainty are introduced to describe the ensemble of solutions in a probabilistic manner. This statistical mechanics approach to earth system dynamics will be the theme of this session. Contributions will cover a broad range of aspects from theory to applications and from mathematics to climate science. Topics include: * Novel mathematical techniques from the theory of stochastic processes and PDE's * Examples of ideas and methods from statistical mechanics being applied to the earth system (including, but not limited to, linear response, model reduction, large deviations and related algorithms) * Potential future applications, for instance in downscaling, data assimilation and parametrisations ----------------------------------------------------------------- Giulia Carigi, Postdoctoral Research Fellow Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Reading, UK

Seminar by A. Picarelli in Padova (this Friday)!
by Giorgia Callegaro 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear all, it is a pleasure to announce the forthcoming seminar by *Athena Picarelli* (Università di Verona), which will be held *in person* room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department (Torre Archimede) of the University of Padova and online, via Zoom, this Friday. Here are the details: * Date and time: 17 December, 14.30 pm * Title: *Optimal management of pumped hydroelectric production with state constrained optimal control* * Abstract: We present a novel technique to solve the problem of managing optimally a pumped hydroelectric storage system. This technique relies on representing the system as a stochastic optimal control problem with state constraints, these latter corresponding to the finite volume of the reservoirs. Following the recent level-set approach presented in O. Bokanowski, A. Picarelli, H. Zidani, State-constrained stochastic optimal control problems via reachability approach, SIAM J. Control and Optim. 54 (5) (2016), we transform the original constrained problem in an auxiliary unconstrained one in augmented state and control spaces, obtained by introducing an exact penalization of the original state constraints. The latter problem is fully treatable by classical dynamic programming arguments. * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ 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

Seminar in Statistics LORENZO MASOERO

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Dicembre 2021, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Lorenzo Masoero *(Amazon) Title: *Improved prediction and optimal sequencing strategies for genomic variant discovery via Bayesian nonparametrics* Abstract:Despite the advent of Big Data, data-gathering in many domains can still be an expensive process that necessitates careful planning when operating under a fixed, limited budget. For instance, sequencing new genomic data is a complex procedure that requires careful tuning: researchers can spend resources to sequence a greater number of genomes (quantity), or spend resources to sequence genomes with increased accuracy (quality). In this talk, I consider the common setting in which scientists have already conducted a pilot study to reveal variants in a genome and are contemplating a follow-up study. Spending additional resources has the potential to reveal new variations in the genome, and thereby new genetic insights. Therefore, practitioners are interested in (i) predicting how many new discoveries they will make under different experimental design choices. In turn, they can leverage these predictions to optimally allocate available resources in the design of a future experiment, e.g. (ii) to maximize the number of future discoveries or (iii) to optimize the usefulness of a future experiment for the task at hand, e.g. the power of an associated statistical test. I discuss novel methodologies to solve the problems mentioned above. Our approach relies on a Bayesian nonparametric formulation that facilitates (i) prediction for the number of new variants in the follow-up study based on the pilot study. We show empirically that, when experimental conditions are kept constant between the pilot and follow-up, our method's prediction is competitive with the best existing methods. Unlike current methods, though, our new method allows practitioners to change experimental conditions between the pilot and the follow-up. We demonstrate how this distinction allows our method to be used for more realistic predictions and for optimal allocation of a fixed budget between quality and quantity. In particular, we first show how, under a fixed budget, my predictions can be used to maximize (ii) the number of new genomic variants discovered in a follow-up study. Last, we show how our framework can guide practitioners in other experimental design problems, and specifically how to achieve (iii) the highest possible power in statistical tests in the context of rare variants association studies. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/jVPLoDCQ1ANSB5dg8 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88971670320?pwd=VXFseHNlYm5EKzFmZ25oTGdlRWw4QT09> Meeting ID: 889 7167 0320 Passcode: 362208 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/>

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Martin Huesmann* (Universität Münster) *Title*: A fluctuation result for the optimal matching problem *Abstract*: The optimal matching problem is one of the classical random optimization problems. While the asymptotic behavior of the expected cost is well understood only little is known for the asymptotic behavior of the optimal couplings - the solutions to the optimal matching problem. In this talk we show that at all mesoscopic scales the displacement under the optimal coupling converges in suitable Sobolev spaces to a Gaussian field which can be identified as the curl-free part of a vector Gaussian free field. Based on joint work with Michael Goldman. Date and time: *Monday December 13, 17:30-18:30* (Rome time zone) *Zoom link*: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8342220461 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! Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Reminder -- Online Quantitative Finance Seminars @SNS, December 10, 2021
by Giulia Livieri 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Dear all, We would like to announce the following two Online Seminars @SNS: *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!

And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional data, which require low-dimensional representations whether by functional PCA or other methods. The difficulty is that the determination is to be made on the basis of i.i.d. replications of the process observed discretely and with measurement error contamination. This adds a ridge to the empirical covariance, obfuscating the underlying dimension. We describe a matrix-completion inspired test statistic that circumvents this issue by measuring the best possible least square fit of the empirical covariance's off-diagonal elements, optimised over covariances of given finite rank. For a fixed grid of sufficiently large size, we determine the statistic's asymptotic null distribution as the number of replications grows. We then use it to construct a bootstrap implementation of a stepwise testing procedure controlling the family-wise error rate corresponding to the collection of hypotheses formalising the question at hand. Under minimal regularity assumptions we prove that the procedure is consistent and that its bootstrap implementation is valid. The procedure circumvents smoothing and associated smoothing parameters, is indifferent to measurement error heteroskedasticity, and does not assume a low-noise regime. Based on joint work with Anirvan Chakraborty. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Webinars PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Buon pomeriggio a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA: - Lunedi’ 6 dicembre 2021 ore 16-18 - ore 16, Giulia Di Nunno Titolo: On time changed Lévy noises in modelling, dynamics and control Abstract: The study of time change lays at the intersection of probability and statistics and have interesting potential in the modelling of different phenomena. These models are appealing, since they seem quite close to classical Lévy structures, often easy to simulate, though they are still statistically very different, as they may loose important properties, such as independent increments and Markovianity. It clearly all depends on the time change applied! When it comes to stochastic calculus, stochastic dynamics, and control, we shall see how the use of the interplay of partial information techniques and enlargement of filtrations can help dealing with such dynamics. - ore 17, Alessandra Cretarola Titolo: Optimal reinsurance and investment under common shock dependence between the financial and the actuarial market Abstract: We study the optimal proportional reinsurance and investment strategy for an insurance company which experiences both ordinary and catastrophic claims and wishes to maximize the expected exponential utility of its terminal wealth. We propose a model where the insurance framework is affected by environmental factors, and aggregate claims and stock prices are subject to common shocks, i.e. drastic events such as earthquakes, extreme weather conditions, or even pandemics, that have an immediate impact on the financial market and simultaneously induce insurance claims. Using the classical stochastic control approach based on the Hamilton-Jacobi- Bellman equation, we provide a verification result for the value function via classical solutions to two backward partial differential equations and characterize the optimal strategy. Finally, we discuss the effect of the common shock dependence via a comparison analysis.

Corso FREQUENTIST LIMITS FROM BAYESIAN STATISTICS
by Matteo Ruggiero 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting <https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting> il programma completo per il presente a.a.), con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- Bas KLEIJN (University of Amsterdam) FREQUENTIST LIMITS FROM BAYESIAN STATISTICS We look at the role that the posterior can play in frequentist statistics, with special attention for large-sample limits. There exists an intimate relationship between hypothesis testing and concentration of posterior measure, which combines with a notion called remote contiguity to obtain frequentist convergence results from sequences of Bayesian posterior measures. We shall cover frequentist forms of posterior consistent estimation, rates of posterior convergence, as well as asymptotic uncertainty quantification by enlargement of credible sets and hypothesis testing/model selection with Bayes factors. Plan of the course: eight lectures of 45 minutes each: Lec I - Bayesian Basics (Frequentist/Bayesian formalisms, estimation, coverage, testing) Lec II - The Bernstein-von Mises theorem (Limit shape in smooth parametric models, semi-parametrics) Lec III - Bayes and the Infinite (Consistency, Doob’s theorem, Schwartz’s theorem) Lec IV - Posterior contraction (Barron, Walker, Ghosh-Ghosal-van der Vaart theorems) Lec V - Tests and posteriors (Testing and posterior concentration, Doob’s theorem) Lec VI - Frequentist validity of Bayesian limits (Remote contiguity and frequentist limits) Lec VII - Posterior uncertainty quantification (How confidence sets arise from credible sets) Lec VIII - Uniform and pointwise tests (Which hypotheses are asymptotically testable and which are not?) Time permitting, we shall also consider Lec IX - Bayesian tests and posterior model selection (Model selection with posteriors, some examples) -------------------------------------- L'iniziativa è rivolta agli studenti del secondo anno della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati. Il corso si svolgerà in presenza nell’aula 30, terzo piano, C.so Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino (qui https://www.unito.it/ateneo/gli-speciali/coronavirus-aggiornamenti-la-comun… <https://www.unito.it/ateneo/gli-speciali/coronavirus-aggiornamenti-la-comun…> i requisiti per l’accesso come ingressi occasionali) secondo il seguente calendario: - mar 30 Novembre, h.14-16 - mer 1 Dicembre, h.14-16 - mar 7 Dicembre, h.14-16 - gio 9 Dicembre, h.11.15-13 e sarà trasmesso in diretta streaming (senza registrazione) tramite la seguente riunione Webex, valida per tutte le lezioni: https://unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MTID=m508322b370362bfd0618d768e4772ac0 <https://unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MTID=m508322b370362bfd0618d768e4772ac0> Numero riunione: 2733 233 8719 Password: 9ahN5DGFRU3 Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/>

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

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. A shrinkage method targets maximal growth with the least amount of deviation of the growth rates.

(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.

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

Diaconis and L. Miclo on "THE random graph" Dear probabilists, We are pleased to inform you that the OWPS will resume on October 7th, from 14:00 to 15:45 UTC. Persi Diaconis and Laurent Miclo will talk about THE random graph and random walk on it. 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. 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! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons). Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

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.

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. We look forward to hearing from you.

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".

Best regards, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor ESOMAS Department, University of Torino Collegio Carlo Alberto sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/4Y3D1gFgxA8KVXx64DKoPB1KCgwrTyqupC…> <#> LTI@Unito and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinars <#> *September 20, 2021 | 12:45 - 13:45* *“Corporate Bond Flipping”* Stanislava Nikolova (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) <#> *Abstract.* In this paper we provide the first empirical evidence on flipping activity in the corporate bond market. 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.

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.
