postdoctoral position in Bern
by Fabio Bellini 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: <johanna.ziegel(a)stat.unibe.ch> Subject: Posting on Italian lists To: <fabio.bellini(a)unimib.it> ******************************************************** Postdoctoral position on Statistical Verification of Weather Warnings In the framework of a collaboration being currently set up between the University of Bern and the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology (Meteoswiss), we are calling for applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position (80%-100%) to be funded subject to successful completion of the collaboration contract. The main goal is to investigate and develop a statistical framework for the verification of weather warnings. Warnings are traditionally issued for specific (often fixed) regions in space, defined time periods, and certain event types. Existing verification therefore often interprets warnings as forecasts of binary categorical events and counts of hits, misses, and false alarms form the basis to assess quality of warnings. In contrast to standard weather forecasts, the non-event (no warning, no event) is often not well defined for warnings, and near hits/misses create difficulties. Furthermore, the temporal complexities of warnings should be considered. To maximize user-relevance, the framework for the verification of warnings will be developed in close collaboration with ongoing sociological studies at MeteoSwiss to better understand how warnings are used in practice. The recruited postdoctoral researcher will be mentored from the academic side by Prof. Johanna Ziegel, Institute for Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, and affilliated with the Oeschger Center for Climate Change Research (University of Bern). The recruited Postdoc will also work a substantial part of her/his time at MeteoSwiss (near Zürich) under the guidance of Dr. Jonas Bhend and Dr. Mark Liniger. This will ensure an optimal know-how transfer on the understanding of the motivating problems, meteorological expertise, the exact user needs and practical applicability and the work can build upon prior experience at MeteoSwiss. The ideal candidate either has a PhD in statistics with a strong taste for applications in areas related to meteorology and climate sciences, or a PhD in climate sciences with a strong background in theoretical and applied statistics. In all cases, the position will require outstanding data analysis and implementation skills, very good communication and team player abilities, and academic writing proficiency. We offer a multi-disciplinary environment with the possibility to have an impact on science and society. The starting date is as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed swiftly and selected candidates will be contacted for interviews. CV, motivation letter and names of three references to be sent to johanna.ziegel(a)stat.unibe.ch

Ricordo di Rosa Maria Mininni
by Nicola Cufaro Petroni 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Care colleghe, cari colleghi, Venerdì 31 Luglio è venuta a mancare prematuramente la nostra collega Rosa Maria Mininni. Vogliamo ricordare Rosella per il suo impegno didattico costante e per la passione nel seguire i suoi giovani allievi. Il suo continuo interesse verso la ricerca l'ha portata ad occuparsi dei processi aleatori sia da un punto di vista teorico che applicativo, intessendo a tale riguardo fruttuosi legami con l'industria che hanno rafforzato l'identità dell'Università di Bari nel territorio. La sua visione del sapere e del ruolo dell'accademia l'ha spinta ad impegnarsi negli anni negli organi collegiali di ateneo e dipartimentali, facendosi apprezzare per la sua preparazione e per le sue doti umane e organizzative. Purtroppo non sempre ha ottenuto quanto meritato, e la malattia non le ha permesso di raggiungere traguardi ormai prossimi. Rosella lascia a noi colleghi di Dipartimento e a tutta la comunità italiana di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica un patrimonio di idee e azioni di cui fare tesoro. Yun Gang Lu, Nicola Cufaro Petroni, Marcello De Giosa, Vitonofrio Crismale, Stefano Rossi. -- ======================================================= Prof. Nicola Cufaro Petroni ------------------------------------------------------- Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bari, and INFN Sezione di Bari via E.

Further informations are available at the links http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/internships <http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/internships> and http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job <http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job> I appreciate if you can distribute the announcement to potential candidates. Thank you very much. Regards, Gianni ——————————————————————————————————————————— PhD Fellowship Research topic title: Supervised learning for COVID-19 prognosis The PhD Student will work on the research project “Early prognosis of COVID-19 infections via machine learning” funded by AXA Research Fund. The researcher will develop techniques for supervised classification based on minimax approaches and apply such techniques to predict the future severity of COVID-19 infections using medical health records. Keywords: supervised learning, supervised classification, statistics, probability, optimization, linear algebra ——————————————————————————————————————————— Internship 1 Research topic title: Multidimensional supervised regression with applications in Physics Most of machine learning methods developed for supervised regression assume the output is a scalar. In numerous applications, the output of interest is a multidimensional quantiy. For instance, in Physics, outputs of interest are usually tensors. This project will develop and implement techniques for multidimensional regression utilizing kernel methods. In addition, the techniques developed will be tested using datasets obtained in numerical Physics. Keywords: machine learning, statistics, reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, Matlab/Python ——————————————————————————————————————————— Internship 2: Research topic title: Machine learning for very short-term load forecasting Conventional techniques for load forecasting predict energy consumptions for next several hours while multiple energy management tasks require predictions for next minutes.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

19^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2020 */Assessing and Managing Climate Change Risk: /* */Opportunities for Financial Institutions/* Venice, Italy 26 –27 September 2019 *COVID-19 update: the CREDIT 2020 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 am Main, Germany), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European Investment* *Fund *(Luxembourg), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg) and*Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 24-25, 2020. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and climate-related events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and policy-relevant directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics and VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies* (University Ca’ Foscari of Venice), *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and the *Joint Research Center*, *European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *nineteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. /The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the adoption of European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance mark important international commitments to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. However, their successful implementation is tightly related to the scaling up of low-carbon investments and divestment from carbon-intensive investments. This, in turn, requires an assessment of the credit risks stemming from investors’ exposure to economic activities and assets that could be stranded by climate change. For instance, regulators’ discussion about the revision of capital requirements aimed to foster green investments (i.e. a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor) is hampered by the unclear understanding of the implications of a regulatory change on individual institutions and systemic financial risk. Thus, financing the low-carbon transition is primarily a discussion about credit risk./ /The financial sector, and in particular the banking and insurance industries need to develop new portfolios’ risk management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with the opportunities and challenges of the low-carbon transition in the economy and finance. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design tailored and effective policy tools./ The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE consists of: *Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA, Programme Chair)** *Marina Brogi *(Sapienza University of Rome)** *Francesca Campolongo*(Joint Research Center, European Commission)** *Helmut Kraemer-Eis*(European Investment Fund)** *Rainer Haselmann*(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 24 2020* *08.30_Registration_* *09.00_Welcome and Opening Remarks_* *09.15_Session I: Regulation and Corporate Strategies_* •*Keynote talk: */TBA - /*Marina Brogi*,**Sapienza University of Rome •/Exporting Pollution: Where Do Multinational Firms Emit CO2? - /*Yeejin Jang*, University of New South Wales, Sidney(join with Itzhak Ben-David, Stefanie Kleimeier and Michael Viehs) •/National Climate Policies and Corporate Internal Carbon Pricing - /*Gianfranco Gianfrate*, EDHEC Business School, Rubaix(join with Nuno Bento and Joseph Aldy) *11.00_Coffee break_* *11.30_Session II: Climate Change_* •/Results presentation of EIBURS Project - /*Loriana Pelizzon*, SAFE-Goethe University Frankfurt & Ca’ Foscari University of Venice •/Climate Change Awareness: Empirical Evidence for the European Union - /*Claudio Morana*,**University of Milano-Bicocca, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Turin & Rimini Centre for Economic Analysis (join with Donatella Baiardi) •/Climate Change Concerns and Mortgage Lending - /*Frank Weikai Li*, Singapore Management University(join with Tinghua Duan) *13.00_Lunch_* *14.15_Session III: Financial System_* •/The Next Step in Green Bond Financing - /*Dion Bongaerts*, Erasmus University Rotterdam(join with Dirk Schoenmaker) •*Unintended*/Consequences of the Global Derivatives Market Reform - /*Pauline Gandré*, University Paris Nanterre(join with Mike Mariathasan, Ouarda Merrouche and Steven Ongena) •*Better*/Fewer, but Better: Stock Returns and the Financial Relevance and Financial Intensity of Materiality - /*Costanza Consolandi*, University of Siena(join with Robert G.

seminar announcement
by Franco Flandoli 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Announcement On Wednesday 22, July, h. 14:00 (Pisa time) Philipp Forstner, TU Darmstadt will give a talk, invited by Scuola Normale Superiore: Title: SQG driven by Space-Time White Noise: An Approach using Regularity Structures Abstract: We show the existence of solutions of the 2D dissipative surface quasi-geostrophic equation driven by space-time white noise. Solutions will be obtained as a limit of solutions to regularised and renormalised equations. Therefore, we give a short introduction into the theory of regularity structures and show how the renormalisation procedure is done.

by Enrico Bibbona 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

Martedì 14 luglio alle 17 si terrà il seminario di Luisa Andreis (WIAS, Berlin), virtualmente ospitata dal DISMA Politecnico di Torino, dal titolo The phase transition in random graphs and coagulation processes: a large deviation approach il link per seguire il talk è https://zoom.us/j/91884592112?pwd=dWxIYmlnUHFSUVVJLzF4Z1hCclcxQT09 Meeting ID: 918 8459 2112 Password: 9n1AQD Segue l'abstract Cordiali saluti, Enrico Bibbona Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well- known Erdos Rényi random graph, where vertices are characterised by a type and edges are independent but distributed 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 Erdos 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 characterises some coagulation processes and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is an ongoing joint work with Wolfgang K ̈onig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Robert Patterson (WIAS) and Heide Langhammer (WIAS).

The case U(x)=x^2 is the well-studied lattice Gaussian free field, while one-dimensional random surfaces are equivalent to random walks. Our focus is on dimensions d>=2 and general U. Brascamp-Lieb-Lebowitz conjectured in 1975 that such random surfaces are localized in dimensions d>=3 under mild assumptions on U. Their work establishes the conjecture when U is uniformly convex (its second derivative is uniformly bounded from zero), as a consequence of the Brascamp-Lieb concentration inequality. To date, this remains the main case for which the conjecture is verified, with the result missing even when U(x) = x^4. We establish new concentration inequalities for log-concave distributions, extending the Brascamp-Lieb inequality, and use them to prove localization in many new cases, including the family U(x) = |x| ^p with p>1. Further consequences regard the maximum height for a class of random surfaces discussed by Deuschel-Giacomin (2000). The talk will be a gentle introduction to the model and the results. No prior knowledge of random surfaces or log-concave distributions will be assumed. Joint work with Alexander Magazinov. 15.00: UTC Omer Angel (Vancouver): Excited martingales Abstract: We consider a random walk that moves in the Z^2 that moves vertically on the first visit to each site and horizontally on subsequent visits. We give new lower bounds on the growth of the range of such walks.

The strength of these results depends a great deal on space-time mixing properties imposed to the environment but also on other features like the dimension and the allowed transitions. In our case, we restrict ourselves to random walks evolving on one-dimensional random environments given by conservative interacting particle systems such as the simple symmetric exclusion process. For this setting, conservation of particles leads to poor-mixing conditions which complicates the applicability of some available tools. Our goal is to explain how renormalization can be used to handle these difficulties in order to obtain law of large numbers, large deviation estimates. The first talk will be a non-technical introduction to the subject. In the second talk, we provide a more detailed idea of how to prove the results. All the results were obtained on several joint works with Oriane Blondel, Frank den Hollander, Daniel Kious, Renato dos Santos and Vladas Sidoravicius. ------------------------------------------------------------ Please keep in mind that we are working with Central European summer time.

Probability Webminar: Lucio Galeati (University of Bonn) [Padova 26/06, 11.00]
by barbato＠math.unipd.it 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on June 26, 2020 at 11 by the zoom platform. ---------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Lucio Galeati (University of Bonn) Title: Regularisation by noise and notions of irregularity June 26, 2020 (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: A natural question in the field of regularisation by noise phenomena is to understand under which conditions on a path $w$, the additively perturbed ODE $x'=b(x)+w'$ is well-posed, even when its unperturbed counterpart $x'=b(x)$ is not. In order to answer this question, Catellier and Gubinelli (SPA 2016) introduced the theory of nonlinear Young integrals and the concept of $\rho$-irregularity of $w$; they also proved that fBm paths are $\rho$-irregular. In this talk, I will first review their work and then present its more recent extensions. The property of $\rho$-irregularity can be linked to the regularity of the local time of $w$ and, in the case of Gaussian processes, can be established under a suitable local non-determinism (LND) condition. Moreover, it can be shown that $\rho$-irregular paths are necessarily nowhere $\alpha$-Holder continuous, for suitable values $\alpha=\alpha(\rho)$. This gives a rigorous proof of the frequently observed paradigm "the rougher the noise, the better the regularisation". Based on joint works with Massiliano Gubinelli. --------------- David Barbato Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on July 3 at 11 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Elena Pulvirenti (University of Bonn) Title: The Widom-Rowlinson model: metastability, mesoscopic and microscopic fluctuations for the critical droplet 3 JULY (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We introduce the equilibrium Widom-Rowlinson model on a two-dimensional finite torus in which the energy of a particle configuration is attractive and determined by the union of small discs centered at the positions of the particles. We then discuss the metastable behaviour of a dynamic version of the WR model. This means that the particle configuration is viewed as a continuous time Markov process where particles are randomly created and annihilated as if the outside of the torus were an infinite reservoir with a given chemical potential. In particular, we start with the empty torus and are interested in the first time when the torus is fully covered by discs in the regime at low temperature and when the chemical potential is supercritical. In order to achieve the transition from empty to full, the system needs to create a sufficiently large droplet, called critical droplet, which triggers the crossover. We compute the distribution of the crossover time and identify the size and the shape of the critical droplet. The analysis relies on a mesoscopic and microscopic description of the surface of the critical droplet. It turns out that the critical droplet is close to a disc of a certain deterministic radius, with a boundary that is random and consists of a large number of small discs that stick out by a small distance. We will show how the analysis of surface fluctuations in the WR model allows us to derive the leading order term of the condensation time and also the correction order term. This is a joint work with Frank den Hollander (Leiden), Sabine Jansen (Munich) and Roman Kotecky (Prague & Warwick). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

By understanding which permutations are possible, one knows if a given card may be brought into a certain position. The mathematics of shuffling a deck of 2n cards with two ``perfect shuffles'' was studied thoroughly by Diaconis, Graham and Kantor in 1983. I will report on our efforts to understand a generalisation of this problem, with a so-called ``many handed dealer'' shuffling kn cards by cutting into k piles with n cards in each pile and using k! possible shuffles. A conjecture of Medvedoff and Morrison suggests that all possible permutations of the deck of cards are achieved, as long as k is not 4 and n is not a power of k. We confirm this conjecture for three doubly infinite families of integers, but the conjecture remains open. We initiate a more general study of shuffle groups, which admit an arbitrary subgroup of shuffles. This is joint work with Carmen Amarra and Luke Morgan. -------- SHORT BIO SPEAKER Cheryl Praeger is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Western Australia. In 2007 she won an Australian Research Council Federation Fellowship and in 2010-14 she served as inaugural Director of the Centre for the Mathematics of Symmetry and Computation at UWA. Her mathematical research work has transformed our understanding of how groups act on large complex systems, through new theories, constructions, algorithms and designs, which exploit the classification of the finite simple groups. Professor Praeger received BSc and MSc degrees from the University of Queensland, a DPhil degree from the University of Oxford in 1973, and has received honorary doctorates from Universities in six countries on three continents. She has served on the Executive of the International Mathematical Union and on the Council and Executive of the Australian academy of Science. She is a former Vice President of the International Commission for Mathematical Instruction, and former Foreign Secretary of the Australian Academy of Science. She is Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, an Honorary member of the London Mathematical Society, and she was the first woman to be President of the Australian Mathematical Society of which she is now an Honorary Life Member. In 2019 she was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Science in recognition of her incredible contribution to mathematics research and education in Australia and around the world. Professor Praeger has published more than 400 journal articles and five research monographs, many of them with her students (30 PhD students, 10 research masters students, 21 postdoctoral research associates) and research colleagues. She has played an active role supporting and mentoring young scientists, especially women.

Dear Colleagues, LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar in Quantitative Finance, that will take place on June 17th at 3 pm CET via Zoom. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-holding-horizon-a-new-measure-of-acti… to get the Zoom link to join the webinar. /Speaker/: Fabio Moneta <https://telfer.uottawa.ca/en/directory/professors/moneta-fabio/> (University of Ottawa) Title: Holding horizon: a new measure of active investment management Abstract: This paper proposes a new holding horizon (HH) measure of active management and examines the relation between horizon and manager skill. Our HH measure identifies, in the cross-section, funds with higher future long-term alphas, while reported turnover identifies, in the time-series, when a particular fund is likely to exhibit a higher short-run alpha. The superior long-term performance of long-horizon funds is due to their selection of stocks with strong long-run fundamentals. Moreover, stocks largely held by long-horizon funds outperform stocks largely held by short-horizon funds by 2.7%-3.5% per year, adjusted for risk, over the following five-year period. We hope you will be able to join us!

---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Andreas Kyprianou <ak257(a)bath.ac.uk> Date: mer 10 giu 2020 alle ore 08:57 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday 11th June 2020 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> One World Probability Seminar Thursday 11th June 2020: Tomorrow we will have a double talk on "A new point of view on topological phase transitions“. The first talk will be more introductory and accessible for a large audience. ------------------------------------------------------------ 15.00 CEST: Christophe Garban (Lyon) 16.00 CEST: Avelio Sepúlveda (Lyon) Abstract: Topological phase transitions were discovered by Berezinskii-Kosterlitz- Thouless in the 70's. They describe intriguing phase transitions for classical spins systems such as the plane rotator model (or XY model). Part 1 : General introduction on the topological phase transitions. Without assuming any a priori background, we will discuss how this phase transition arises in cases such as : - the XY model (spins on Z^2 with values in the unit circle) - the integer-valued Gaussian Free Field - Abelian Yang-Mills on Z^4 We will also discuss some of the main contributions of Fröhlich and Spencer to this theory. Part 2 : A statistical reconstruction problem. We will connect topological phase transitions to a statistical reconstruction problem concerning the Gaussian Free Field and will show that the feasibility of the reconstruction undergoes a KT transition. The talks will be based mostly on the preprint: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org… ------------------------------------------------------------ Please keep in mind that we are working with Central European summer time.

LTI@UniTO Webinar in Finance: Sohnke Bartram (Warwick Business School) 03.06 h.15

Dear Colleagues, LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar in Quantitative Finance, that will take place on June 3rd at 3 pm via Zoom. Please register here https://ltiwebinar3june.eventbrite.it/ to get the Zoom link. Speaker: Sohnke Bartram (Warwick Business School) Title: "Currency Anomalies" || |*Abstract *| | This paper is the first to study the cross-section of currency anomalies to explore alternative explanations for their existence. Using real-time data, currency anomalies are profitable during in-sample and out-of-sample periods, both before and after transaction costs, but trading profits decrease substantially after the publication of the underlying academic research. The decline is greater for anomalies with larger in-sample profits and lower arbitrage costs, and signal ranks and performance decay quickly, suggesting that currency anomalies reflect mispricing rather than compensation for risk or statistical bias. Mispricing is systematically related to mistakes and changes in analysts’ currency forecasts. In particular, analysts expect anomaly payoffs that are too low compared with actual anomaly profits. However, analysts update their forecasts to incorporate lagged anomaly information. These results are consistent with a behavioral explanation for currency anomalies. | -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on June 12 at 15 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Alberto Chiarini (TU Eindhoven) Title: Entropic repulsion for the occupation-time field of random interlacements by disconnection 12 JUNE (Friday) - 15:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: The model of random interlacements was introduced in 2007 by A.-S. Sznitman, motivated by questions about the disconnection of discrete cylinders or tori by the trace of simple random walk. Since then, it has gained popularity among probabilists due to its percolative properties and also because of its connections to the free field. Random interlacements on transient graphs can be constructed as a Poisson point process of doubly infinite trajectories. After reviewing this model, we will focus on the rare event that these trajectories disconnect a macroscopic body from infinity, in the strongly percolative regime. We will ask the following question: What is the most efficient way for random interlacements to enforce such disconnection? In other words, how do the trajectories of random interlacements look like conditionally on disconnection? -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Among them 2 fellowships are given within the GrowBot FET - EU project, under the direction of Professor Pierangelo Marcati. https://growbot.eu/ Interested candidates can apply to both programs by submitting two different applications. Students and researchers in Mathematics at GSSI are encouraged to interact with other scientific communities. At GSSI, we believe that the interdisciplinary endeavor is the most effective way to do science and benefit society. Mathematical models are ubiquitous in physics, engineering, information theory, social and life sciences, as they provide a formidable framework to describe the time evolution of deterministic, stochastic and complex systems, which is one of the main goals at GSSI. Within the PhD program in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences a priority has been established on mathematical modeling, both towards the traditional areas of application, such as Physics or Engineering, and towards emerging issues in Biology and in the Social Sciences. GSSI mathematics researchers are interested in tackling many problems with complementary perspectives and methods. The area of Mathematics is characterized by four large macro-sectors: Applied Partial Differential Equations, Stochastic Analysis, Numerical methods and Continuum Mechanics modeling. Within these sectors there is a shared interest in problems related to fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and also its applications to data science. Important ideas of classical analysis, probability theory, mathematical physics and theoretical physics are used also for less traditional applications. Numerical linear algebra and numerical optimization help to design new models and accompanying numerical algorithms for applications in data mining, machine learning and network science. Continuum mechanics models, computational methods in fluid dynamics are used not only in their traditional field at the boundary between applied mathematics and theoretical engineering, but also in nonconventional problems like modeling the full heart function.

UNIVAQ RANDOM TALKS - The Ph.D. COLLOQUIUM ________________________________ Online conferences on Probability and Applications at DISIM - UNIVERSITÁ DI L'AQUILA Monday June 8th 2:30 p.m. - ZOOM Videoconference platform Prof. Philip Protter Statistics Department Columbia University Nonlinear Valuation in Credit Risk Everybody is welcome, please subscribe by the following form The day of the seminar, participants will receive an invitation by e-mail https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfivXQHs0ZbxtQG8anBnzTSy1Tq_uWN7sG… (max. 100 participants) No need to subscribe, if, in a previous form, you asked to be always included Abstract: In a series of recent papers, Damiano Brigo, Andrea Pallavicini, and co-authors have shown that the value of a contract in a Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) setting, being the sum of the cash flows, can be represented as a solution of a decoupled forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE). CVA is the difference between the risk-free portfolio value and the true portfolio value that takes into account the possibility of a counter party's default. In other words, CVA is the market value of counter party credit risk. This has achieved noteworthy importance after the 2008 financial debacle, where counter party risk played an under-modeled but huge risk. In their analysis, Brigo et al make the classical assumption of conditional independence of the default times, given the risk-free market filtration. This does not allow for the possibility of simultaneous defaults. We weaken their assumption, replacing it with a martingale orthogonality condition. This in turn changes the form of the BSDE that arises from the model. My talk is based on joint work with Aditi Dandapani. --------------------------------- Fabio Antonelli DISIM - Università di L'Aquila

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on June 05 at 11 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title: A new Universality Class in (1+1)-dimensions: the Brownian Castle 05 JUNE (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In the context of randomly fluctuating interfaces in (1+1)-dimensions two Universality Classes have generally been considered, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and the Edwards-Wilkinson. Models within these classes exhibit universal fluctuations under 1:2:3 and 1:2:4 scaling respectively. Starting from a modification of the classical Ballistic Deposition model we will show that this picture is not exhaustive and another Universality Class, whose scaling exponents are 1:1:2, has to be taken into account. We will describe how it arises, briefly discuss its connections to KPZ and introduce a new stochastic process, the Brownian Castle, deeply connected to the Brownian Web, which should capture the large-scale behaviour of models within this Class. This talk is based on a joint ongoing work with Martin Hairer. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

PhD course "Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling" by P. Pigato
by Lucia Caramellino 26 May '20

26 May '20

Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Roma “Tor Vergata” PhD School in Mathematics Announcement of a PhD course (10 hours, online) Paolo Pigato (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata", WIAS Berlin): Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling Abstract. In several applications of stochastic analysis (financial engineering, telecommunication networks, ...), it is desirable to model real-world quantities which are non-Markovian, for example because the noise process exhibits slowly decaying auto-correlations and long memory. In this course we will focus on fractional Brownian motion, a prototypical example of non-Markovian process. Such process is a generalisation of Brownian motion with Holder regularity possibly different than 1/2 and it is not a martingale. We will consider large deviations problems, simulation methods and some examples of application. Schedule. - Friday June 05, 2020; h. 14-16 - Tuesday June 09, 2020; h. 14-16 - Thursday June 11, 2020; h. 14-16 - Tuesday June 16, 2020; h. 14-16 - Thursday June 19, 2020; h. 14-16 Information at http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~dott/corsi.html <http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~dott/corsi.html> http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/corso-dottorato-pigato.htm <http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/corso-dottorato-pigato.htm> How to join the course.

Webinar RIGON

22 May '20

WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/research/webinars/> Venerdì 29 Maggio 2020, alle ore 15:00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Tommaso RIGON (Duke University) *A generalized Bayes framework for probabilistic clustering* Abstract: Clustering methods such as k-means and its variants are standard tools for finding groups in the data. However, despite their huge popularity, the underlying uncertainty can not be easily quantified. On the other hand, mixture models represent a well-established inferential tool for probabilistic clustering, but they are characterized by severe computational bottlenecks and may have unreliable solutions in presence of misspecifications. Instead, we rely on a generalized Bayes framework for probabilistic clustering based on Gibbs posteriors. Broadly speaking, in such a setting the log-likelihood is replaced by an arbitrary loss function and this arguably leads to much richer families of clustering methods. Our contribution is two-fold: first, we describe a clustering pipeline for efficiently finding groups and then quantifying the associated uncertainty. Second, we discuss two broad classes of loss functions which have advantages in terms of analytic tractability and interpretability. Specifically, we consider losses based on Bregman divergences and pairwise dissimilarities and we show they can be interpreted as profile and composite log-likelihoods, respectively. Full Bayesian inference is conducted via Gibbs sampling but efficient deterministic algorithms are available for point estimation. As an important byproduct of our work, we show that several existing clustering approaches can be interpreted as generalized Bayesian estimators under specific loss functions. Hence, our methodology can be also used to formally quantify the uncertainty in widely used clustering approaches. (joint work with Amy Herring and David Dunson, Duke University) ------------------------------------------------ Chiunque volesse collegarsi al webinar è pregato di inviare una email entro mercoledi 27 Maggio a pierpaolo.deblasi(a)unito.it Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/research/webinars/> Venerdì 22 Maggio 2020, alle ore 12:00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Pierre JACOB (Harvard University) *Unbiased Markov chain Monte Carlo with couplings* Abstract: Various tasks in statistics involve numerical integration, for which Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are state-of-the-art. MCMC methods yield estimators that converge to integrals of interest in the limit of the number of iterations. This iterative asymptotic justification is not ideal; first, it stands at odds with current trends in computing hardware, with increasingly parallel architectures; secondly, the choice of "burn-in" or "warm-up" is arduous. This talk will describe recently proposed estimators that are unbiased for the expectations of interest while having a finite computing cost and a finite variance. They can thus be generated independently in parallel and averaged over. The method also provides practical upper bounds on the distance (e.g. total variation) between the marginal distribution of the chain at a finite step and its invariant distribution. The key idea is to generate "faithful" couplings of Markov chains, whereby pairs of chains coalesce after a random number of iterations. This talk will provide an overview of this line of research.

Probability Webminar: Saeda Marello (University of Bonn) [Padova 22/05, 11.00]
by alessandra bianchi 13 May '20

13 May '20

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on May 22 at 11 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Saeda Marello (University of Bonn) Title: Metastability for the randomly dilute Curie-Weiss model with Glauber dynamics". 22 MAY (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available the day of the seminar at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/news/metastability-for-the-randomly-dilute-curie-… Abstract: The Curie-Weiss model (CW) is a classical model of a ferromagnetic spin system in which all spins interact with each other, namely the interaction graph is complete. The randomly dilute Curie-Weiss model (RDCW) is a generalisation of the CW in which the deterministic interaction between pairs of spins is replaced by iid random coefficients. It can be also viewed as an Ising model on a random graph. We will show results in the case where the interaction coefficients are iid Bernoulli random variables with fixed parameter p, i.e. the interaction graph is an Erdős–Rényi random graph. After giving an introduction on metastability and on the well known results for the CW, we will focus on how the mean metastable hitting time in the RDCW can be approximated by that of the CW, asymptotically as the system size grows. The main methods we used are potential theoretic approach to metastability and concentration of measure inequalities. Based on joint work with Anton Bovier and Elena Pulvirenti. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/research/webinars/> Venerdì 15 Maggio 2020, alle ore 12:00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Ismael CASTILLO (Sorbonne Université Paris) *Multiscale analysis of Bayesian CART* Abstract: This work affords new insights about Bayesian CART in the context of structured wavelet shrinkage. We show that practically used Bayesian CART priors lead to adaptive rate-minimax posterior concentration in the supremum norm in Gaussian white noise, performing optimally up to a logarithmic factor. To further explore the benefits of structured shrinkage, we propose the g-prior for trees, which departs from the typical wavelet product priors by harnessing correlation induced by the tree topology. Building on supremum norm adaptation, an adaptive nonparametric Bernstein–von Mises theorem for Bayesian CART is derived using multiscale techniques. For the fundamental goal of uncertainty quantification, we construct adaptive confidence bands with uniform coverage for the regression function under self-similarity. (joint work with Veronika Rockova, University of Chicago). ------------------------------------------------ Chiunque volesse collegarsi al webinar è pregato di inviare una email entro mercoledi 13 Maggio a pierpaolo.deblasi(a)unito.it Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

The objective is to minimize an expected functional involving the time-integral of a running cost and the proportional costs of adjusting the drift. The resulting two-dimensional degenerate singular stochastic control problem with interconnected dynamics is solved by combining techniques of viscosity theory and free boundary problems. We provide a detailed description of the problem's value function and of the geometry of the state space, which is split into three regions by two monotone curves. Our main result shows that those curves are continuously differentiable with locally Lipschitz derivative and solve a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The optimal control is also constructed (weakly) under further specifications of the model. This talk is based on a joint work with Salvatore Federico (University of Siena) and Patrick Schuhmann (Bielefeld University). --------------------------------- Fabio Antonelli DISIM - Università di L'Aquila

Hereby we propose an innovative approach to the problems, in a dynamic setup and with interplay among the economics agents, namely producers and retailers. Both types of agents face an utility maximization problem, to be solved via a blend of dynamic programming and duality techniques. The study of optimal strategies will reveal information on the structure of the relation between the capacity price and the energy price. The existence of Nash equilibria will lead to an equilibrium solution for the capacity price, and also will lead to the confirmation or modification of the actual incentives/penalties system. Thus, we expect both theoretical results on the resolutions of the problems, and relevant applied results, given the nature of the project itself.

Claudia Ceci dell'Università di Chieti-Pescara terrà il seminario dal titolo A BSDE-BASED APPROACH FOR THE OPTIMAL REINSURANCE PROBLEM UNDER PARTIAL INFORMATION Abstract. We investigate the optimal reinsurance problem under the criterion of maximizing the expected utility of terminal wealth when the insurance company has restricted information on the loss process. We propose a risk model with claim arrival intensity and claim sizes distribution affected by an unobservable environmental stochastic factor. By filtering techniques, we reduce the original problem to an equivalent stochastic control problem under full information. Since the classical Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman approach does not apply, due to the infinite dimensionality of the filter, we choose an alternative approach based on Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs). Precisely, we characterize the value process and the optimal reinsurance strategy in terms of the unique solution to a BSDE driven by a marked point process. The talk is based on the paper: Brachetta M., Ceci C. (2019).

In fondo al messaggio trovate un documento che descrive brevemente le finalita' del gruppo, gli aspetti scientifici ed organizzativi. L'iniziativa si affianca a quella proposta dal Prof. Antonio Di Crescenzo, di cui siete stati informati qualche giorno fa su questa lista di distribuzione, e che trova tutto il mio sostegno. A mio parere, per le loro caratteristiche le due proposte non sono in contrapposizione, mi auguro sinceramente che entrambe abbiano successo e vi sia la possibilita' di instaurare una proficua collaborazione, poiché la probabilita' e la statistica sono sicuramente il fondamento matematico del Machine Learning. Se qualcuno di voi fosse interessato a partecipare al nostro progetto UMI, il cui termine di presentazione scade il 30 aprile ore 24, deve a) risultare iscritto all'UMI per il 2020 ed in regola con il pagamento della quota sociale come socio ordinario (e' possibile iscriversi ancora per qualche giorno); b) inviare un messaggio di posta elettronica a ernesto.devito(a)unige.it entro lunedì 27 aprile ore 24. Vi chiederei gentilmente di diffondere l'iniziativa a tutti coloro che sono potenzialmente interessati a partecipare al progetto. Resto a vostra disposizione per ogni chiarimento e suggerimento. Mi scuso per il poco anticipo con cui vi informo dell'iniziativa, ma ho aspettato di avere pronta una bozza di documento più stabile. Un caro saluto, Ernesto De Vito ---------------- Dipartimento di Matematica Universita' di Genova http://www.dima.unige.it/~devito/ ernesto.devito(a)unige.it %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Proposta per la costituzione di un gruppo UMI “Matematica per l’Intelligenza Artificiale ed il Machine Learning” Uno dei più vecchi sogni del nostro sapere e' quello di capire il funzionamento dell'intelligenza degli esseri umani e la possibilita' di emularne i processi cognitivi da parte di sistemi automatici. L’intelligenza artificiale rappresenta quindi una delle più grandi sfide della scienza moderna coinvolgendo un ampio spettro di discipline e il suo realizzarsi probabilmente portera' ad una nuova rivoluzione “industriale”, di cui si possono gia' constatare i primi effetti. Ad esempio, negli ultimi anni sono stati sviluppati sistemi di Intelligenza Artificiale in grado di risolvere compiti complessi considerati fuori portata per decenni, quali riconoscimento di immagini o del linguaggio e apprendimento di strategie complesse. Al centro di questi successi c’e' il Machine Learning, i cui algoritmi sono addestrati ad apprendere dai dati piuttosto che essere esplicitamente programmati dall’uomo per risolvere un compito specifico. Per sua natura l’Intelligenza Artificiale e' un campo di ricerca multidisciplinare che vede la matematica fortemente coinvolta in tutti i suoi tradizionali settori (logica, algebra, geometria, analisi matematica, probabilita', fisica matematica, analisi numerica e ricerca operativa). La matematica affronta la varieta' dei problemi che si presentano in Intelligenza Artificiale con modelli, metodi e applicazioni, rispondendo quindi ad esigenze di tipo teorico, numerico ed implementativo. In questo contesto, in Italia molti ricercatori hanno indirizzato i loro interessi verso l’Intelligenza Artificiale ed il Machine Learning, ottenendo anche importanti risultati riconosciuti a livello internazionale. Tuttavia manca un quadro di riferimento nazionale per la matematica, che raccolga e sia un incubatore di iniziative e diventi punto di riferimento per le tematiche dell’Intelligenza Artificiale all’interno della nostra comunita' Lo scopo principale della creazione del gruppo UMI di “Matematica per l’Intelligenza Artificiale ed il Machine Learning” e' quello di colmare tale lacuna agendo lungo tre direzioni: ricerca, insegnamento e divulgazione. Innanzitutto il gruppo si prefigge di mettere in contatto i ricercatori che si occupano di queste tematiche al fine di mettere a sistema le risorse favorendo le collaborazioni e la diffusione dei risultati. Oltre a sostenere le interazioni tra le varie discipline e a rafforzare i contatti con i più affermati centri di ricerca internazionali, il gruppo potra' anche avvalersi delle sinergie gia' presenti per rendere accessibili le problematiche attuali e gli argomenti di ricerca alla comunita' matematica italiana. Accrescere la visibilita' delle attivita' di ricerca matematica in questo ambito sara' anche prezioso per attrarre l’interesse e promuovere collaborazioni con altri scienziati in campi sia teorici che applicativi nonché con potenziali utilizzatori dei metodi e delle tecniche di Intelligenza Artificiale. In secondo luogo il gruppo intende promuovere discussioni sul ruolo di questa nuova disciplina in relazione alla formazione, sia a livello di laurea che post-laurea, con l’obiettivo di formare matematici ben preparati che lavorino attivamente su queste tematiche portando risultati originali a più ambiti matematici. Questa esigenza e' particolarmente sentita sia nella ricerca che nelle applicazioni, dove i problemi matematici posti sono di una complessita' tale da richiedere figure ad hoc. Infine il gruppo intende favorire la disseminazione delle tematiche dell’Intelligenza Artificiale e del ruolo della matematica al loro interno presso le scuole e, più in generale, la societa' civile, anche tenuto conto delle delicate implicazioni di carattere etico, legale e filosofico che sono connesse con le moderne applicazioni dell’Intelligenza Artificiale alla vita di tutti i giorni. In conclusione il gruppo ha tra i suoi principi fondanti l’armonizzazione di ricerca, didattica e divulgazione intorno a questa disciplina emergente. Uno strumento per perseguirla e' quello di mantenere contatti stretti con altre macroaree che se ne occupano, in particolare l’informatica e la fisica, sia all’interno che oltre l’ambiente accademico. Questo perché si ritiene fondamentale l’interazione interdisciplinare sia per i contributi teorici sia per quelli implementativi ed applicativi, che richiedono un dialogo aperto con gli esperti dei settori. Aspetti organizzativi e sociali L’attivita' del gruppo si concentrera' principalmente sui seguenti aspetti: a) Organizzazione dell’assemblea annuale del gruppo b) Organizzazione di seminari periodici, anche in modalita' telematica: seminari di ricerca, di formazione e di divulgazione. c) Contribuire all’organizzazione di scuole (dottorato/post-doc) e convegni. d) Organizzazione del sito web e) Newsletter (eventualmente integrata nel Notiziario UMI). f) Indagine conoscitiva allo scopo di individuare i ricercatori italiani attivi nel settore AI e ML. g) Contributo al dibattito etico e sociale dell'intelligenza artificiale.

Corso JACOB
by Matteo Ruggiero 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors per la Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino, siamo riusciti a confermare almeno parte delle attività previste per il secondo semestre in modalità telematica. Con grande piacere dunque annunciamo che a breve si terrà il seguente corso: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierre JACOB (Harvard University) PROBABILITY COUPLINGS AND MONTE CARLO The course is about the method of coupling in probability and its use in Monte Carlo methods, which refer to algorithms generating samples from probability distributions of interest. The course includes an introduction to Monte Carlo methods (rejection sampling, importance sampling, MCMC), followed by an introduction to the coupling method. This includes the celebrated "coupling inequality" and various coupling interpretations of notions of distances between probability distributions, such as total variation and Wasserstein. The course then focuses on Markov chain methods and describes how couplings of Markov chains can be employed to quantify their convergence. The last part of the course covers various Monte Carlo methods that rely on explicit coupling constructions in their implementations, such as Coupling From The Past (Propp & Wilson 1996), debiasing techniques (Glynn & Rhee 2014) and some convergence diagnostics for MCMC (Johnson 1996). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Il corso è rivolto agli studenti del primo anno della Laurea Magistrale, e consisterà in materiale misto live e registrato, reso disponibile a partire dal 28 aprile nell’arco di 3/4 settimane. Eventuali interessati possono fare richiesta di partecipazione allo scrivente. Outline del corso e una versione preliminare delle lecture notes sono disponibili alla pagina https://sites.google.com/site/pierrejacob/cmclectures Il programma completo di Visiting Professors può essere consultato alla pagina http://www.master-sds.unito.it/do/home.pl/View?round=1&doc=visitingprofesso… Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

proposta di Gruppo UMI
by Antonio DI CRESCENZO 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Gent.mi, nel recente passato, nei convegni "Italian Meeting on Probability and Mathematical Statistics", tenuti a Torino (2017) e Vietri sul Mare (2019), è emersa un'esigenza sentita e condivisa da molti di creare un organismo che possa raccogliere anche in modo istituzionalizzato le energie della comunità con interessi in ambito probabilistico e statistico. Un'ottima opportunità per realizzare tale progetto è emersa di recente, in quanto l'Unione Matematica Italiana ha aperto un bando per la creazione dei *Gruppi UMI* (cf. https://umi.dm.unibo.it/gruppi-umi/). A tale scopo, seguendo le linee del bando, è stata predisposta una proposta di istituzione di un Gruppo UMI, con l'intento di promuovere in modo coordinato attività di ricerca, didattiche e di terza missione inerenti discipline legate a temi stocastici. La proposta è stata formulata con l'aiuto di membri del Comitato Scientifico della prossima edizione del convegno, che si terrà a Bologna nel 2021 (cf. https://site.unibo.it/probstat/en) ad anche con l'apporto di diverse persone interessate. Una sintesi dei punti presenti nella richiesta è riportata in fondo alla mail. Per ricevere informazioni più dettagliate potete inviare una email a prisma.umi(a)gmail.com La proposta deve pervenire all'UMI entro il *30 aprile*, corredata dall'elenco di almeno *15 proponenti* (*iscritti all'UMI*). Per dare maggiore peso alla richiesta è opportuno avere un elevato numero di proponenti. Sperando che la proposta riscuota consenso, invito con piacere gli interessati a dare la disponibilità ad essere inseriti nell'elenco dei proponenti (scrivendo a: prisma.umi(a)gmail.com). Coloro che non sono soci possono comunque effettuare l'iscrizione all'UMI (cf. https://umi.dm.unibo.it/area-soci/associarsi/) per poter poi divenire proponenti del Gruppo. Vi ringrazio molto per l'attenzione, confidando della vostra collaborazione, e vi saluto con l'augurio che si possa superare al meglio l'emergenza epidemiologica in atto, Antonio Di Crescenzo =========================== DESCRIZIONE SINTETICA: Le attività del Gruppo avranno connotazione interdisciplinare coinvolgente varie aree della matematica anche in vista di ricadute in vari ambiti culturali e scientifici. Mantenendo l’attenzione agli sviluppi della probabilità e della statistica matematica lungo le molte direzioni che dominano la scena internazionale, esse promuoveremo anche l’interazione con settori attuali ed emergenti, con particolare riferimento allo sviluppo di metodi formali e strumenti probabilistici e statistici in diversi ambiti. Le attività si suddividono in - attività di ricerca (organizzazione di un convegno scientifico biennale e di mini-workshop su temi emergenti, coordinamento di seminari e corsi di dottorato, database aggiornato delle iniziative scientifiche, ...) - attività d’insegnamento (censimento di attività didattiche universitarie su temi stocastici, promozione di attività didattiche su temi stocastici a livello universitario e per la didattica della probabilità nella scuola, anche in collaborazione col Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche per la Matematica, ...) - divulgazione dei risultati (attraverso convegni, canali istituzionali, ...) - interazione con vari settori della scienza e della società (incontri scientifici su temi stocastici della matematica industriale, incontri con attori dell’economia e delle istituzioni per public engagement, ...) -- ============================================= Antonio Di Crescenzo Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Salerno Via Giovanni Paolo II, n. 132 <https://maps.google.com/?q=Via+Giovanni+Paolo+II,+n.+132+%0D%0A84084+Fiscia…> 84084 Fisciano (SA) Italy Tel. +39-089-963349 Fax: +39-089-963303 E-mail(1): adicrescenzo(a)unisa.it E-mail(2): adicresc(a)gmail.com Web: http://www.unisa.it/docenti/antoniodicrescenzo/index Skype: antoniodicrescenzo =============================================

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

CREDIT2020 <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2020/credit2020.htm> *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *Cattolica Assicurazioni *(Verona, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European Investment* *Fund *(Luxembourg), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg) and*Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 24-25, 2020. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and climate-related events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and policy-relevant directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and the *Joint Research Center*, *European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *nineteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. /The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the adoption of European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance mark important international commitments to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. However, their successful implementation is tightly related to the scaling up of low-carbon investments and divestment from carbon-intensive investments. This, in turn, requires an assessment of the credit risks stemming from investors’ exposure to economic activities and assets that could be stranded by climate change. For instance, regulators’ discussion about the revision of capital requirements aimed to foster green investments (i.e. a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor) is hampered by the unclear understanding of the implications of a regulatory change on individual institutions and systemic financial risk. Thus, financing the low-carbon transition is primarily a discussion about credit risk./ /The financial sector, and in particular the banking and insurance industries need to develop new portfolios’ risk management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with the opportunities and challenges of the low-carbon transition in the economy and finance. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design tailored and effective policy tools./// // // // The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * INVESTMENTS: Green Finance, Investments Principles, Real Estate Sustainability, Finance for Good; * POLICIES: Climate Policies, Climate Financial Risk; European Green New Deal, Social Sustainability * INFORMATION: Non Financial Disclosure, Climate risk disclosure, ESG Ratings, ESG Taxonomies The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Marina Brogi* (Sapienza University of Rome) and *Andrew W. Lo *(MIT Sloan School of Management). The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake for embedding climate into credit risk. The Scientific Committee consists of: *Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA, Programme Chair)* Marina Brogi *(Sapienza University of Rome)* Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission)* Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund)* Rainer Haselmann* (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)* * Sponsors** *GRETA* <http://www.greta.it/> Cattolica Assicurazioni <https://www.cattolica.it/home-corporate/> CRIF <https://www.crif.it/> European Investment Fund <https://www.eif.org/> European Investment Bank <https://www.eib.org/en/> *IntesaSanpaolo* <http://www.group.intesasanpaolo.com/scriptIsir0/si09/eng_index.jsp> Auspices** ** <http://www.abi.it/Pagine/default.aspx> *Ca' Foscari - Economics Department* <http://www.unive.it/pag/16892> *ABI* <http://www.abi.it/Pagine/default.aspx> ** <http://www.abi.it/Pagine/default.aspx> AIAF <https://www.aiaf.it/> *JCR - European Commission <https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en> * ** *CALL FOR PAPERS* **COVID-19 update: As of the time of this writing (Mid April 2020), the CREDIT 2020 Conference is still planned for September 24-25, 2020 in Venice, Italy. With the event still five months away, it is difficult to anticipate what meeting and travel restrictions will exist in the fall. However, as the global fight against COVID-19 continues, we are exploring and planning alternatives to an in-person event but we hope to continue in Venice as planned.

In order to attend the online seminar, you can connect to https://meet.google.com/iwa-aetx-bky (needs authorization if you do not have a UniPi account and it is limited to 250 participants). The seminar will be also streamed live on the official YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfMLkaFzJYx6JoMxtGvvqJw> of the Department, at the URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfMLkaFzJYx6JoMxtGvvqJw * MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS IN MODERN MACHINE LEARNING* /Andrea Montanari (Stanford University)/ April 15, 2020, 4pm (CEST) _Abstract_: The last fifteen years have witnessed dramatic advances in machine learning. This progress was mainly driven by engineering advances: greater computing power, and larger availability of training data. Not only the collection of methods that emerged from this revolution are not well understood mathematically, but they actually appear to defy traditional mathematical theories of machine learning. I will argue that future developments and applications will require to understand better the underlying mathematical principles. I will describe two recent examples of mathematical progress in this area that are connected to areas of modern mathematics: 1. Gradient flows in Wasserstein spaces; 2. Random matrix theory.

Fwd: Call for abstracts OICA online conference, deadline April 13th, 2020
by Elena Vigna 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

-------- Messaggio Inoltrato -------- Oggetto: Call for abstracts OICA online conference, deadline April 13th, 2020 Data: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 22:11:30 +0000 Mittente: LOISEL STEPHANE <stephane.loisel(a)univ-lyon1.fr> A: LOISEL STEPHANE <stephane.loisel(a)univ-lyon1.fr> Dear RIANA colleagues and friends, Can you please forward this announcement to your network and encourage your colleagues and PhD students to submit abstracts and/or attend ? Thanks, Best, Stephane Dear Colleagues and Friends, We organise at the end of the month (April 28-29, 2020) an _online_ conference in actuarial science, data science and finance. Abstract submission deadline : April 13th, 2020. Scientific committee : Hansjoerg Albrecher (Lausanne), Katrien Antonio (Leuven), Benjamin Avanzi (Melbourne), Pauline Barrieu (LSE), Mercè Claramunt (Barcelona), Nicole El Karoui (Paris), Romuald Elie (Berkeley), Stéphane Loisel (ISFA, chair), Mogens Steffensen (Copenhagen), Ruodu Wang (Waterloo), Hailiang Yang (Hong-Kong U.) We hope that’ll be able to submit an abstract : http://oica.univ-lyon1.fr <http://oica.univ-lyon1.fr> Details about the purpose of the conference are below. Parallel session talks are 15mins long. Take care and stay safe, Stéphane Loisel PS Registration is free but compulsory. ** *About OICA Conference* /(Online International Conference in Actuarial science, data science and finance)/ Covid19 is going to change the financial markets and the insurance-reinsurance network. As actuarial science, data science and finance researchers, we cannot easily help for the current phase as we are not medical doctors or epidemiologists. But we can help to mitigate/manage the financial/risk management consequences by carrying out relevant research in 2020-2021. For this we need to learn NOW from experts and decision makers what the research challenges are. Therefore we are organising an online conference on April 28-29, 2020 with two goals : * Enabling researchers and young researchers to present actuarial / data science / financial research that was done before covid19 (therefore NOT related to covid19) * Having 1 or 2 roundtables that describe covid19 implications on the economy, and which help us to know which research topics we could investigate in the future if we want to help (WACA roundtables : What Actuaries Could Accomplish researchwise in 2020-21). We also planned (classical) plenary talks on topics that could be useful for post-covid research, as well as a quite different talk by José Blanchet about a social platform startup that he created in response to covid19 in US and Mexico and the associated data science future challenges. INVITED PLENARY SPEAKERS *Beatrice ACCIAIO */(LSE, London, United Kingdom)/** *José BLANCHET */(Stanford University, CA, USA)/ *Caroline HILLAIRET */(ENSAE, Paris, France)/ *Nora PANKRATZ */(UCLA, CA, USA)/ *Jae Kyung WOO */(UNSW, Sydney, Australia)/ ** To be clear, this event is NOT about presenting super-fast, opportunistic research on epidemiology produced by actuaries. It is about presenting classical actuarial/data science/finance research works that have been done before, and reflecting about how we can contribute researchwise for the future. As almost everyone is at home at that time, we think that the timing is possible. We’ll have sessions in the morning, lunch time and up to evening to accomodate participants in different locations. The roundtables will be held between 11am and 4pm French time to maximize audience (including Asia-Pacific and America). We hope that you’ll join us to this OICA-WACA conference and roundtable (please use French accent to sound like Shakira’s song) !

Meeting CIRM "Set estimation" June 2020
by DI BERNARDINO Elena 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Dear all, We, Christophe Biscio, Elena Di Bernardino, Céline Duval and Alberto Rodriguez Casal are organizing a meeting at the CIRM on « Set Estimation » from 29 June to 3 July 2020: https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/2296.html You will find below a short description of the theme of the conference. The conference will include long talks and 2 short courses given by Antonio Cuevas (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) and Georg Lindgren (Lund University). The full list of speakers is available on the website. It is a pleasure for us to ask you to participate to this event and we hope that you will respond positively. If so, could you register on the website: « pre-registrations-apply-here ». Note that during registration young researchers are encouraged to submit an abstract for a short talk or a poster session. If you intend to come, we would greatly appreciate if you could register before March 10th 2020. We remain available if you have any question. Best regards, Christophe Biscio Elena Di Bernardino Céline Duval Alberto Rodriguez Casal Abstract: Set estimation appears in many applied fields, for instance in cosmology, imaging, biology, environmental science, sea waves modeling, big data. Many mathematical issues arise and are studied by both random geometry and spatial statistics communities. The purpose of this meeting is to gather these two communities around this common question. The considered sets are obviously multidimensional. They can be either random or the observation of a random phenomenon. Among others, we can name the support of multi- dimensional densities, realizations of point processes, Gibbs or Boolean models, excursion sets of random fields, discrete or continuous, level sets or high dimensional data. Regard- ing estimation, it could include inference for the localization of the set, its frontier or its extremal points, its shape, its volume or any other geometrical functional. The study of these objects naturally leads to parametric or non-parametric estimation issues and the need for testing procedures (Gaussianity, isotropy,...). By set estimation, we mean the study of an inverse statistical problem to build consistent inference procedures and associated algorithms, starting from eventually sparse observations. Talks will be devoted to this question by firstly presenting the set of interest and its properties then the methods developed for its estimation. The program will include talks directed toward theory and applications. Warning: We encountered some technical issues with the registration of people who already visited the CIRM and who did not fully completed the registration procedure. When you register be careful to follow the procedure until the end, you will then receive an automatic email confirming that you are registered. If you do not receive this email, please contact us.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

19^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2020 */Environmental, Social and Governance Risks/* Venice, Italy 24 –25 September 2020 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), *Cattolica Assicurazioni* (Verona, Italy), *CRIF*(Bologna, Italy), *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 24-25, 2020. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and climate-related events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and policy-relevant directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria *and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission *(Ispra, Italy), is the *nineteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. //The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the adoption of European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance mark important international commitments to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. However, their successful implementation is tightly related to the scaling up of low-carbon investments and divestment from carbon-intensive investments. This, in turn, requires an assessment of the credit risks stemming from investors’ exposure to economic activities and assets that could be stranded by climate change. For instance, regulators’ discussion about the revision of capital requirements aimed to foster green investments (i.e. a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor) is hampered by the unclear understanding of the implications of a regulatory change on individual institutions and systemic financial risk. Thus, financing the low-carbon transition is primarily a discussion about credit risk.// //The financial sector, and in particular the banking and insurance industries need to develop new portfolios’ risk management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with the opportunities and challenges of the low-carbon transition in the economy and finance. All t////hese changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design tailored and effective policy tools.//// The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: ·INVESTMENTS: Green Finance, Investments Principles, Real Estate Sustainability, Finance for Good; ·POLICIES: Climate Policies, Climate Financial Risk; European Green New Deal, Social Sustainability; ·INFORMATION: Non Financial Disclosure, Climate risk disclosure, ESG Ratings, ESG Taxonomies. The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: ·*Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA, Programme Chair)** ·*Marina Brogi *(Sapienza University of Rome)** ·*Francesca Campolongo *(Joint Research Center, European Commission)** ·*Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(European Investment Fund)** ·*Rainer Haselmann***(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)** ** *CALL FOR PAPERS* The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Marina Brogi* (Sapienza University of Rome) and *Andrew W. Lo *(MIT Sloan School of Management). The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake for embedding climate into credit risk. Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2020 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *June 30, 2020*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2020.

A WINTER DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS - 6 MARCH 2020 (Gubinelli e Komjathy)
by Francesca Romana Nardi 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Carissimi, Vi annunciamo che prossimamente si terrà la decima giornata di seminari (notare la location differente dal solito!) : A WINTER DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS University of Florence Friday 6 March 2020 Lecturers: Massimiliano Gubinelli (Bonn) and Julia Komjathy (Eindhoven) Location: Aula Magna 327 Viale Morgagni 40, Firenze Link alla mappa: https://goo.gl/maps/zpsC9oGMeqw695jGA Note pratiche: Stiamo prenotando un catering con cibi vegerariani e non, percio` abbiamo bisogno del numero di persone che vogliono mangiare insieme. A coloro che fossero interessati (per una migliore organizzazione) chiediamo di mandare un email a francescaromana.nardi(a)unifi.it; gianmarco.bet(a)unifi.it; angela.caporicci(a)unifi.it con l'intenzione di partecipare al seminario, al coffe break e al pranzo. PROGRAMMA Prof. Massimiliano Gubinelli (Hausdorff Center for Mathematics) Title: Universality in slow growth phenomena and singular martingale problems Abstract: In the last years there have been steady progress in understanding the large scale properties of one dimensional growing interfaces. In the regime where the growth is comparable to thermal fluctuations the interface are described via the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation (KPZ). This is a stochastic partial differential equation which contains a non-linearity whose precise meaning is not apriori clear. There are various analytic approaches to make sense of such an equation like regularity structures, paracontrolled distributions, rough paths. In this talk we will describe a further approach to the KPZ equation based on the probabilistic notion of martingale problem. This approach can be used to prove the scaling limit of interface fluctuations in a wide class of models. Due to the singular nature of the equation, the martingale problem has to be formulated in a non-standard way and several new ideas are needed to obtain a mathematically satisfactory theory. The aim of the first part of talk will be to give a wide perspective on the phenomenon of universality of the KPZ and related equations and in the issues involved in their definition. In the second part we will discuss more in details the well-posedness of the martingale problem, in particular the uniqueness problem. Prof. Julia Komjathy (Eindhoven University of Technology) Title: How to stop explosion by penalising transmission to hubs Abstract: In this talk we study the spread of information on infinite inhomogeneous spatial random graphs. We take a scale-free spatial random graph, where the degree of a vertex follows a power law with exponent tau >1. Examples of such graphs include: Scale free percolation, Geometric Inhomogeneous Random Graphs, and Hyperbolic Random Graphs. Then we equip each edge with a random and iid transmission delay L, and study the ball-growth of the first-passage infected cluster around the source vertex as a function of time. For a second, more realistic spreading model, the iid random transmission delay L through an edge with expected degrees W and Z is multiplied by a factor that is a polynomial of W,Z, (the penalty factor). We call the model outwards (inwards) explosive if it is possible to reach infinitely many vertices within finite time (if infinitely many vertices can reach a target vertex within finite time). We will discuss the criterion for explosion in the original model (no penalty factor) and in the penalised model. In particular, we will discuss that asymmetric penalty functions can lead to `outwards' explosion but no `inwards' explosion or the other way round. Joint work with John Lapinskas and Johannes Lengler.

corso di dottorato M. Maurelli
by Marco Alessandro Fuhrman 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Buongiorno a tutti. Il seguente corso di dottorato verrà tenuto prossimamente dal dott. Mario Maurelli (Università di Milano). Cordiali saluti. Marco Fuhrman ----------------- Title: Regularization by noise Abstract: We say that a regularization by noise occurs if a possibly ill-posed ODE or PDE becomes well-posed with the addition of a suitable noise term. The aim of the course is to introduce regularization by noise and show this phenomenon in some instructive examples, mostly for ODEs and linear transport-type PDEs. In particular, we will show the intuition behind and the techniques used for regularization by noise. During the course, we will also introduce some needed tools from analysis (like PDE estimates, Young integration) and stochastic analysis (like Ito formula). Luogo e orario delle lezioni: aula Dottorato (primo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano, via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano lunedì 9 marzo, lunedì 16 marzo, lunedì 23 marzo, lunedì 30 marzo, lunedì 6 aprile dalle 10:00 alle 13:00 ------------------------------- <signaturebeforequotedtext></signaturebeforequotedtext><signatureafterquotedtext></signatureafterquotedtext>

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 28 Febbraio 2020, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Dario TREVISAN (Università di Pisa) THE LAW OF THE OPTIMAL MAP IN RANDOM EUCLIDEAN MATCHING PROBLEMS Random bipartite Euclidean matching problems can be seen as specific instances of optimal transport problems involving two random empirical measures, with a cost given by the Euclidean distance between pairs of sampled points. A heuristic approach, exploiting this connection and using a non-rigorous ``linearization'' of the problem, has been proposed in the physics literature (by Caracciolo et al. in 2014) strongly supported by numerical simulations. From a mathematical point of view, despite some partial success in the two dimensional case, many conjectures concerning asymptotics of matching/transportation costs and laws of optimal matchings/couplings remain open for a wide range of costs and geometries, especially in higher dimensional domains. Aim of this talk will be to review their current status, focusing on some recent results providing, in the two dimensional case, precise estimates on the distance between the optimal matching map and its ``linearized'' approximation (based on joint work with L. Ambrosio and F. Glaudo). ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Stefano Favaro

Seminario di Maurizia Rossi a Milano-Bicocca (26 feb 2020)
by Francesco Caravenna 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Ho il piacere di annunciare il seguente seminario di Maurizia Rossi (Università di Milano-Bicocca): "Random waves: a probabilistic overview with an accent on Geometry" che si terrà mercoledì 26 febbraio 2020 alle ore 14:00 in aula U5-3014 (Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicocca). Trovate l'abstract di seguito. Il seminario è rivolto a un pubblico matematico ampio. Tutti gli interessati, a partire dai dottorandi, sono invitati a partecipare. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract. The geometry of (deterministic) Laplace eigenfunctions on manifolds is a challenging research topic, several natural questions are still open in their full generality, for instance Yau's conjecture on nodal volumes. A probabilistic counterpart of these questions aroused great interest recently, in particular for the universal behavior of high-energy eigenfunctions (the so-called Berry's ansatz). In this talk we investigate the geometry of random waves on manifolds, i.e. geometrical properties of their excursion sets. The aim is to give an introduction to this theory and, if time permits, to present some of the most recent results in this area. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

Seminar announcement at LUISS - Talk by Giorgio Ferrari (Bielefeld University), 25/02/2020, 12:00
by Alessandro Calvia 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, on Tuesday, 25 February 2020, at 12:00, Prof. Giorgio Ferrari (Bielefeld University) will give a talk "On The Free Boundaries of Two Multi-dimensional Singular Stochastic Control Problems with Interconnected Dynamics" at LUISS "G. Carli" University, Department of Economics and Finance, viale Romania 32, room 304b. ------------ Abstract: We present two continuous-time stochastic control problems involving controls of bounded-variation. Those problems are motivated by questions arising in macroeconomic theory - as the optimal control of inflation via interest rates - and in operations research - as the optimal management of an inventory having impact on the demand of a good - and their characteristic is that the drift of a diffusive component of the two-dimensional state variable is an affine function of a purely controlled process. The objective is to minimize an expected cost functional involving a running cost function and proportional costs of control. By relying on a combination of techniques from viscosity theory and free-boundary analysis, we provide the structure of the value function and we show that it satisfies a so-called second-order smooth-fit principle. Such a regularity is then exploited in order to determine a system of functional equations solved by the two monotone continuous curves (free boundaries) that split the control problem's state space in three connected regions. In one of the two considered problems, the free boundaries are even shown to be classical solutions to a system of first-order nonlinear ODEs. This is based on joint works with Salvatore Federico (University of Siena) and Patrick Schuhmann (University of Bielefeld). ------------ All interested people are kindly invited to participate.

Probability Seminar: Alberto Chiarini (TU Eidhoven) [Padova 27/02, 11.30]
by alessandra bianchi 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics of Padova, on February 27. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Alberto Chiarini (TU Eindhoven) Title: Entropic repulsion for the occupation-time field of random interlacements by disconnection. 27 FEBRUARY (Thursday) , 11:30, ROOM 430, Dip. di Matematica “Tullio Levi-Civita”, Via Trieste 63, Padova Abstract: The model of random interlacements was introduced in 2007 by A.-S. Sznitman, motivated by questions about the disconnection of discrete cylinders or tori by the trace of simple random walk. Since then, it has gained popularity among probabilists due to its percolative properties and also because of its connections to the free field. Random interlacements on transient graphs can be constructed as a Poisson point process of doubly infinite trajectories. After reviewing this model, we will focus on the rare event that these trajectories disconnect a macroscopic body from infinity, in the strongly percolative regime. We will ask the following question: What is the most efficient way for random interlacements to enforce such disconnection? In other words, how do the trajectories of random interlacements look like conditionally on disconnection? All of you are very welcome.

Seminar of Francesco Morandin and Alessandro Montagnani, Padova 18/02/2020
by barbato＠math.unipd.it 14 Feb '20

14 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics of Padova, on February 18. Speaker: Francesco Morandin Title: Turbulence, shell models and critical exponents for dissipation Abstract: Shell models of turbulence are nonlinear dynamical systems inspired by fluid dynamics. They are idealized and simplified, but tailored to exhibit the same energy cascade behaviour of three dimensional Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. A typical feature of these models is in fact anomalous dissipation of energy, which in finite time "escapes" to infinity, yielding a blow-up and instantaneous loss in regularity. A dissipative term corresponding to viscosity can recover regularity, for some of these models, but in total generality one needs hyper-dissipation, with an exponent larger than the physical one. Recent results hint that in the more refined framework of tree (hierarchical) models the required exponent may be actually lower. Speaker: Alessandro Montagnani Title: A stationary solution for turbulence shell models. Abstract The focus of the talk is to study well-posedness, with respect to generic Gaussian distributed initial data, in turbulence shell models. In the of state-of-the-art results we have existence of solution for any finite energy initial conditions. Here we show the generic existence of solutions with respect to initial data distributed as Gaussian invariant measures, in "mixed" dyadic and tree-like shell models, extending the classical deterministic results. The existence is given thanks to compactness argument and techniques similar to the ones used by Albeverio and Cruzeiro for Euler equation (and more recently with a different approach by F. Flandoli), adapted to our model. Uniqueness is not provided, and the natural oscillating behaviour of the solutions obtained may suggests that it doesn't hold at all All of you are very welcome.

PhD Course, Tor Vergata (Matematica), Paolo Pigato
by Claudio Macci 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Department of Mathematics, Univ. Roma Tor Vergata PhD Course held by Paolo Pigato (10 hours) Title: Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling Schedule: March 03, 2020; h. 14-16. Room: Aula D'Antoni March 05, 2020; h. 14-17. Room: Aula D'Antoni March 10, 2020; h. 14-16. Room: Aula De Blasi March 12, 2020; h. 14-17. Room: Aula D'Antoni Abstract. In several applications of stochastic analysis (financial engineering, telecommunication networks, ...), it is desirable to model real-world quantities which are non-Markovian, for example because the noise process exhibits slowly decaying auto-correlations and long memory. In this course we will focus on fractional Brownian motion, a prototypical example of non-Markovian process. Such process is a generalisation of Brownian motion with Holder regularity possibly different than 1/2 and it is not a martingale. We will consider large deviations problems, simulation methods and some examples of application. Some other details can be found here: http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/corso-dottorato-pigato.htm Best regards. Claudio Macci.

BAYSM 2020: Announcement on coronavirus
by Federico Camerlenghi 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Dear all, as you may already be aware, there is a recent coronavirus epidemic going around in China, which may have raised concerns in attending the BAYSM 2020 meeting in China late June https://baysm2020.uconn.edu/ . As a satellite meeting of the 2020 ISBA World Meeting (Kunming, China, June 29-July 03), we would like to cite the email that ISBA Program Council just sent to ISBA members to address the coronavirus concerns and ISBA World Meeting in China: "We are keeping a close eye on the development. While at this point we are cautiously optimistic that the epidemic will not last till June, both as a result of the extraordinary measure that China is taking to contain the spread, and as cold-like coronaviruses generally don't spread effectively as temperature rises in spring. However, we want to stay cautious and keep options open, and will take the necessary actions to ensure the health and safety of our community." We are holding the same position as the ISBA Program Council and will keep you all updated of any changes in the plan of the meeting. Particularly, if the epidemic is not contained in the next couple of months, and thus the community participating in the meeting will be subject to health risk, we will consider alternatives such as postponing the BaYSM Meeting. For now, we have decided to extend the early registration deadline as follows. Deadline for submissions: May 1 2020 23:59 CST End of review process: May 23 2020 Early registration: June 01 2020 Late registration: June 15 2020 Thank you for your support of our BaYSM Meeting. We hope that the epidemic will be over soon and we will see you all in Kunming at the BaYSM this June.

Seminar of Nicola Secomandi, Padova, Friday 21

13 Feb '20

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova (via Trieste, 63), on February 21 h. 15.30 room 1BC/45. -------------------------------------------------- NICOLA SECOMANDI Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University Quadratic Hedging and Optimization of Option Exercise Policies in Incomplete Markets and Discrete Time Abstract: This paper extends quadratic hedging from European to Bermudan options in discrete time when markets are incomplete and investigates its use for supporting exercise policy optimization. The key idea is to construct date specific approximate replicating portfolios. Hedging any given exercise policy can be done by solving a collection of stochastic dynamic programs. Optimizing the exercise policy based on the resulting martingale measure requires care. If this measure is risk neutral (RN), the value of an optimal such policy, which can be obtained by augmenting the hedging model with an exercise policy optimization step, is a no arbitrage one. Otherwise this approach must be refined by imposing time consistency on exercise policies, although the value of the resulting exercise policy may not be arbitrage free. Following the common pragmatic strategy of specifying quadratic hedging under an RN measure, e.g., one calibrated to market prices, avoids these issues. In particular, it provides a simple hedging policy with immediate practical applicability and is equivalent to exercise policy optimization under RN valuation, thus complementing it with a consistent hedging policy. A simple numerical example shows that this procedure generates effective hedging policies.

PROBABILITY SEMINAR: Giovanni Conforti (CMAP, École Polytechnique ) [Padova, 21/02, 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics of Padova, on February 21. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Giovanni Conforti (CMAP, École Polytechnique ) Title: Understanding the most likely evolution of interacting particle systems 21 FEBRUARY (Friday), 14:30; ROOM 1BC45, Dipartimento di Matematica “Tullio Levi-Civita”, Via Trieste 63, Padova Abstract: An old question posed by Schrodinger may be rephrased as follows: what is the most likely evolution of an interacting particle system conditionally on the observation of its initial and final configurations? It is often the case that by means Large Deviation Principle this question is rigorously formulated as a (mean field) control problem in the space of probability measures. In the first part of this talk we will see if the space of probability measures is endowed with a Riemannian metric naturally induced by the form of the rate function, the equations governing the most likely evolution take the form of Newton's law. In some examples the Riemannian metric to be considered coincides with the Otto metric of optimal transport, but it is often the case that a different metric has to be chosen. In the second part of the talk we discuss how to use Newton’s laws to obtain convexity principles and dissipation estimates for entropy functionals along the most likely evolution. The interest of these estimates is twofold: on the one hand they imply a novel class of functional inequalities; on the other hand they allow to establish the turnpike property for the control problem defining the most likely evolution and to study its ergodic behaviour. Two concrete examples will be discussed in more detail: the exclusion process and systems of weakly interacting diffusions. Based on joint works with A.Chiarini, I.Gentil, J.Backhoff, C.Léonard, M.Pavon and L. Tamanini. All of you are very welcome.

avviso breve ciclo seminari
by Franco Flandoli 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Si comunica che nei giorni *martedì 11 febbraio (aula Mancini) martedì 18 febbraio (aula Mancini) martedì 25 febbraio (aula Tonelli)* si terranno, presso la Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, i seguenti due cicli di seminari, con eventuale proseguimento da concordare: *ore 11-12 Sigurd Assing ore 12-13 Michael Goldman* Il tema dei seminari è brevemente descritto qui di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ------------------------ *Sigurd Assing* (University of Warwick) TITLE: Bayesian Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model ABSTRACT: We introduce a variational inference framework for training the Gaussian process latent variable model and thus performing Bayesian nonlinear dimensionality reduction. The maximization of the variational lower bound provides a Bayesian training procedure that is robust to overfitting and can automatically select the dimensionality of the nonlinear latent space. ------------------------ *Michael Goldman* (Université Paris Diderot, CNRS) TITLE: A variational approach to regularity in optimal transport and applications to the optimal matching problem. ABSTRACT: In this course I will present the regularity theory for optimal transport maps recently developed together with M. Huesmann and F. Otto. The main point of the course is to show that as long as we are in a linearization regime, that is as long as the local displacement and the local distances of the two marginals to the Lebesgue measure are small, the displacement is quantitatively close to the gradient of the solution of a Poisson equation. We will see applications both to partial regularity and to (a variant of) the optimal matching problem. In particular, we will see how this theory allows to justify down to the microscopic scale some predictions made by Caracciolo and al for that problem.

Seminario Karim Barigou in Bicocca
by Valeria Bignozzi 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Si avvisa che il giorno Lunedì 10 Febbraio alle ore 15:30 presso l’Università di Milano-Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- aula 4026) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Karim Barigou (University of Lyon) Title: Fair valuation of insurance liabilities: interplay between actuarial judgement and market-consistency Abstract: Insurance liabilities are in most cases (only) partially replicable by traded assets. This may be due to the fact that the payoffs of the underlying insurance contracts are defined in terms of a combination of hedgeable and unhedgeable claims (e.g. unit-linked insurance) or due to the existence of traded insurance-linked securities of which the payoff is correlated with the payoff of the insurance liability (e.g. CAT bonds). Since not all insurance claims can be perfectly replicated by traded assets, we face the problem of valuating claims in incomplete markets (i.e. markets in which some claims are not perfectly hedgeable). The main goal of this presentation is to introduce different valuation frameworks for the determination of a fair valuation for insurance liabilities. The objective of this valuation is to merge the traditional actuarial valuation based on pooling and diversification with a market-consistent approach based on hedging and replication. In particular, we define a fair valuation as a valuation which is market-consistent (marked-to-market for hedgeable claims) and actuarial (marked-to-model for claims independent of financial market evolutions). Among the different fair valuation frameworks, we introduce and investigate the class of `hedge-based valuations'. Under this approach, one unbundles the unhedgeable insurance claim in a hedgeable part and a remaining part. The fair value of the claim is then set equal to the sum of the respective values of the hedgeable and the unhedgeable parts, where the hedgeable part is valuated by the financial price of its underlying hedge, while the value of the remaining part is determined via an actuarial approach. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
