Seminario di Sam Thomas a Roma Tre 2 settembre ore 14:30

SEMINARIO Probabilita' Sam Thomas (Cambridge, UK) Titolo: Cutoff for Random Walk on Random Cayley Graphs Lunedi' 02 Settembre 2019 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Abstract Consider the random Cayley graph of a finite group $G$ with respect to $k$ generators chosen uniformly at random, with $1 ll log k ll log|G|$: the vertices are the group elements, and $g,h in G$ are connected if there exists a generator $z$ so that $g = hz$ or $gz = h$. A conjecture of Aldous and Diaconis asserts that the simple random walk on this graph exhibits cutoff, at a time which depends only on $|G|$ and $k$, not on the algebraic structure of the group $G$ (ie universally in $G$). We verify this conjecture for a wide class of Abelian groups. Time permitting, we discuss extensions to the case where the underlying group $G$ is non-Abelian. There the cutoff time cannot be written only as a function of $|G|$ and of $k$; it depends on the algebraic structure. This is joint work with Jonathan Hermon.

Seminario Prof. Macci 6/9/19 ore 15:30 Insubria University
by Elisa Mastrogiacomo 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Seminar announcement: Macci on Large deviations for risk measures models – September 6, 2019 - 15.30-16.30 Dear Colleagues, On September 6, 2019, 15.30-16.30, Prof. Claudio Macci (University of Roma Tor Vergata) will give a talk on “Large deviations for risk measures in finite mixture models” (joint with Valeria Bignozzi and Lea Petrella). Insubria University Dept. Economics, Via Monte Generoso 71 Sala del Consiglio primo piano Below you find an abstract of Claudio’s paper. You are all invited. Best regards, Elisa Mastrogiacomo Abstract Due to their heterogeneity, insurance risks can be properly described as a mixture of different fixed models, where the weights assigned to each model may be estimated empirically from a sample of available data. If a risk measure is evaluated on the estimated mixture instead of the (unknown) true one, then it is important to investigate the committed error. In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of estimated risk measures, as the data sample size tends to infinity, in the fashion of large deviations. We obtain large deviation results by applying the contraction principle, and the rate functions are given by a suitable variational formula; explicit expressions are available for mixtures of two models. Finally, our results are applied to the most common risk measures, namely the quantiles, the expected shortfall and the shortfall risk measure.

Eigenvalue bounds for the Laplacian on planar metric graphs *Giovedì 8 agosto 2019 * *Luogo: *Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Sala Seminari "-1" *Ore*: 11:00 *Relatore:* - *Marvin Plümer* (FernUniversität Hagen, Germany) *Abstract:* Self-adjoint differential operators – in particular Schrödinger-type operators – acting on metric graphs have been studied very actively, in recent years. Here, a metric graph is a collection of intervals whose endpoints are identified in a graph-like fashion. In this talk, we present some new developments in the theory of Laplacians on metric graphs: in particular, we discuss the role played by planarity in spectral theory and derive some lower and upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. To derive upper bounds we make use of a geometric representation for planar graphs provided by the classical Circle Packing Theorem of Koebe, Andreev and Thurston. For the derivation of lower bounds, we extend and apply a recently developed transference principle by Amini and Cohen-Steiner that compares eigenvalues of continuous and discrete models in a very convenient way. In this context we give a brief introduction to metric graphs and differential operators on metric graphs. This is joint work with Delio Mugnolo. *Referente*: Stefano Bonaccorsi

Seminario Margherita Zanella a Milano-Bicocca
by Federica Masiero 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Si comunica che il giorno 22 luglio 2019 alle ore 14.30 presso l’aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicoca, la Dott.ssa Margherita Zanella dell’Università LUISS Guido Carli di Roma, terrà un seminario dal titolo. "A Pricing Formula for Delayed Claims:Appreciating the Past to Value the Future” Abstract: We consider the valuation of contingent claims with delayed dynamics in a Black \& Scholes complete market model. We find a pricing formula that can be decomposed into terms reflecting the market values of the past and the present, showing how the valuation of future cashflows cannot abstract away from the contribution of the past. As a practical application, we provide an explicit expression for the market value of human capital in a setting with wage rigidity. The talk is based on a joint work with E. Biffis, B. Goldys and C. Prosdocimi. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Avviso di seminario Prof Enrico Scalas
by Enrica Pirozzi 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

AVVISO di SEMINARIO The Mathematics of Human Contact Prof. Enrico Scalas University of Sussex We present a statistical analysis of high-resolution contact pattern data within primary and secondary schools as collected by the SocioPatterns collaboration. Students are graphically represented as nodes in a temporally evolving network, in which links represent proximity or interaction between students. We focused on link- and node-level statistics, such as the on- and off-durations of links as well as the activity potential of nodes and links. Parametric models are fitted to the on- and off-durations of links, inter-event times and node activity potentials and, based on these, we propose a number of theoretical models that are able to reproduce the collected data within varying levels of accuracy. By doing so, we aim to identify the minimal network-level properties that are needed to closely match the real-world data, with the aim of combining this contact pattern model with epidemic models in future work. This is joint work with Stephen Ashton, Nicos Georgiou and Istvan Zoltan Kiss.

Speaker: Yen-Chi Chen (University of Washington) Title: Analyzing GPS data using density ranking Abstract: A common approach for analyzing a point cloud is based on estimating the underlying probability density function. However, in complex datasets such as GPS data, the underlying distribution function is singular so the usual density function no longer exist. To analyze this type of data, we introduce a statistical model for GPS data in the form of a mixture model with different dimensions. To derive a meaningful surrogate of the probability density, we propose a quantity called density ranking. Density ranking is a quantity representing the intensity of observations around a given point that can be defined in a singular measure. We then show that one can consistently estimate the density ranking using a kernel density estimator even in a singular distribution such as the GPS data. We apply density ranking to GPS datasets to analyze activity spaces of individuals.

Seminario Christian Keller in Bicocca
by elena bandini 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Lunedi' 8 luglio alle ore 11:00, nell’aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell’Università di Milano-Bicocca, in Via R. Cozzi 55, si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Christian Keller (University of Central Florida) Title: Path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations in infinite dimensions Abstract: We propose notions of minimax and viscosity solutions for a class of fully nonlinear path-dependent PDEs with nonlinear, monotone, and coercive operators on Hilbert space. Our main result is well-posedness (existence, uniqueness, and stability) for minimax solutions. A particular novelty is a suitable combination of minimax and viscosity solution techniques in the proof of the comparison principle. One of the main difficulties, the lack of compactness in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, is circumvented by working with suitable compact subsets of our path space. As an application, our theory makes it possible to employ the dynamic programming approach to study optimal control problems for a fairly general class of (delay) evolution equations in the variational framework. Furthermore, differential games associated to such evolution equations can be investigated following the Krasovskii-Subbotin approach similarly as in finite dimensions. This talk is based on joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

Seminario Marianna Pensky a Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday *July* *12th* 2019, at *4:30 PM*, in *Aula D’Antoni (1101)* of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. *Speaker:* Marianna Pensky (University of Central Florida) *Title:* *Estimation and Clustering in Popularity Adjusted Stochastic Block Model * *Abstract:* Stochastic networks in general and stochastic block models in particular attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. The talk considers the Popularity Adjusted Block model (PABM) which generalizes the Stochastic Block model and the Degree Corrected Block Model by allowing more flexibility for block probabilities. We argue that the main appeal of the PABM is its less rigid spectral structure which makes the PABM an attractive choice for modeling networks that appear in biological sciences. Based on a joint work with Majid Noroozi and Ramchandra Rimal.

Seminario: Lorenzo Trippa, Adaptive trial design in glioblastoma
by Antonio Pievatolo 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Thursday 4 July 2019 at 14:30 Lorenzo Trippa, Harvard University and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Department of Statistics and Computational Biology CNR IMATI, Via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula B *Adaptive trial design in glioblastoma* There have been few treatment advances for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) despite increasing scientific understanding of the disease. While factors such as intrinsic tumor biology and drug delivery are challenges to developing efficacious therapies, it is unclear whether the current clinical trial landscape is optimally evaluating new therapies and biomarkers. We queried ClinicalTrials.gov for interventional clinical trials for patients with GBM initiated between January 2005 and December 2016 and abstracted data regarding phase, status, start and end dates, testing locations, endpoints, experimental interventions, sample size, clinical presentation/indication, and design to better understand the clinical trials landscape. Only approximately 8%–11% of patients with newly diagnosed GBM enroll on clinical trials with a similar estimate for all patients with GBM. Trial duration was similar across phases with median time to completion between 3 and 4 years. While 93% of clinical trials were in phases I–II, 26% of the overall clinical trial patient population was enrolled on phase III studies. We use the results of this meta analysis to discuss pros and cons of trial designs in GBM. This analysis includes platforms and the use of external controls. Platform design allow to add new experimental arms to the clinical study when they become available, while the aim of an external controls is to leverage external data that were not generated from the clinical study. -- Dr Antonio Pievatolo IMATI-CNR http://www.imati.cnr.it/joomla/index.php/people?layout=edit&id=101 ph. +39 02 23699 520

EXTENDED Submission deadline July 31, 2019 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Position for a post-doc scientist at Géoazur (https://geoazur.oca.eu/fr/acc-geoazur) in collaboration with Inria (https://www.inria.fr/en/centre/sophia) at Sophia Antipolis (Nice region), France, in the area of Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Remote Sensing applied to curvilinear detection on both optical and SAR satellite images (project abstract below). Both Geoazur and Inria Sophia Antipolis are ideally located in the heart of the French Riviera, inside the multi-cultural silicon valley of Europe (ie. Sophia-Antipolis, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Antipolis) This position is funded by University Côte d'Azur (UCA, see http://univ-cotedazur.fr/en#.XOforoWTpT4) Duration: 18 months Starting date: between September 1st and December 1st 2019.

The application should contain: - a motivation letter demonstrating motivation, academic strengths and related experience to this position. - CV including publication list - at least two major publications in pdf - minimum 2 reference letters Project abstract Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html

Corso Enrico Scalas presso UNISA
by Barbara Martinucci 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Università degli Studi di Salerno Dipartimento di Matematica Si rende noto che nel periodo 25 giugno - 12 luglio 2019 si terrà il corso di dottorato "From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: The consequences of time change". Le lezioni saranno tenute dal Prof. Enrico Scalas, Professor of Statistics & Probability, University of Sussex, UK (pagina web: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/330303) e si terranno nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica secondo il seguente calendario: - lezione 1 (2 ore): martedì 25 giugno, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 2 (3 ore): venerdì 28 giugno, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 3 (3 ore): martedì 2 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 4 (3 ore): giovedì 4 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 5 (2 ore): martedì 9 luglio, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 6 (3 ore): venerdì 12 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. I contenuti del corso sono riportati qui di seguito. Research context What happens if the discrete time at which innovations occur for a Markov chain is replaced by a counting process? If the counting process is the Poisson process, one still gets a Markov process. On the contrary, if the counting process is of renewal type, the resulting process is no longer Markovian: It becomes a semi-Markov process. Semi-Markov processes have infinite memory and are naturally related to non-local operators in time such as the so-called Caputo derivative that appears when the expected values of inter-event times diverge. For this reason, there has been a surge of interest on these processes in recent years. Syllabus: 1. From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: General framework (2 hours) 1.1 From the Poisson process to the fractional Poisson process 1.2 Time change and its consequences 2. Example 1: Continuous-time random walks (CTRWs) and applications (8 hours) 2.1 The diffusion equation and the normal compound Poisson process 2.2 The space-time fractional diffusion equation and CTRWs 2.3 Some applications 3. Example 2: Semi-Markov graph dynamics (6 hours) Pre-requisites The course will be accessible to first year PhD students (Corso di Dottorato in Matematica, Fisica e Applicazioni). In fact, the main pre-requisites are: 1. An introductory course in probability and statistics. 2. Fourier and Laplace transforms. Learning objectives After following this course, the students should be able: 1. To read and understand the recent literature on semi-Markov process 2. To perform calculations on continuous-time random walks and other semi-Markov processes using elementary probabilistic methods Essential references: - Scalas, Enrico (2017) Continuous-time statistics and generalized relaxation equations.

Seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Ecology of human activities
by Antonio Pievatolo 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Lunedi' 17 giugno alle 14:45, presso il CNR-IMATI, in via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula Pentagonale edificio Bassini II piano, si terrà il seguente seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Padova Title: Ecology of human activities Abstract: One of the most studied macro-ecological pattern is the Relative Species Abundance (RSA), describing the distribution of the population among species. Various natural ecosystems share a common shape of the empirical RSA and through years ecologists have used several recipes - some of them are rule of thumb prescriptions - to determine global RSA features from local information. Recently our group has developed a rigorous statistical framework able to predict global scale biodiversity from scattered local plots ([2], [3]). Such a framework is derived from a simple mathematical model informed by basic biological assumptions. In this talk we illustrate how to adapt/generalize such an approach to human activities. In particular we consider four datasets of man-made systems and/or network mediated human activities: e-mail communication, Twitter posts, Wikipedia articles and Gutenberg books. Once we set the proper correspondence to what we consider species and individuals of a species, our approach reveals RSA is scale-free in each mentioned dataset with a power law form maintained - with roughly the same exponent - through the different human activities considered. In turn, RSA scale-invariance allows us to use activity information on local scale to predict hidden features of the human dynamics at the global scale. E-mail communication is particular relevant to illustrate our method as well as our results and possible applications. We consider the senders’ activity network where each node is a sender and a directed link from node A to node B represents an email issued from user A to user B. We set the identity of a sender to identify the species and the number of sent emails to be the individuals pertaining to a species. Thus, for instance, if user A has sent n emails we say that the species A has n individuals. Now, suppose an observer has access to a small sample of sent emails, or equivalently to partial information on links and nodes of the email communication network. Our method is capable to infer the number of nodes (i.e. the number of users) and the degree distribution (i.e. the topology) of the whole network, thus revealing features of the dynamics unknown to the observer. Moreover, our framework predicts how the number of users grows with the number of links recorded, which represents another well known pattern in ecology called the Species-Accumulation Curve (SAC). These findings may have applications in resource management, optimal network design and information diffusion on graphs. This is a work in collaboration with M. Formentin, A. Tovo and S. Favaro [1].

Set valued risk measures and Systemic risk measures at LUISS
by Sara 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

On July 2 from 10:30 to 13:00 - Room 207, at LUISS, viale Romania 32, Roma, prof. Cagin Ararat from Bilkent University will give two talks: Talk I Title: Set-valued quasiconvex risk measures Abstract: Set-valued risk measures are defined naturally in environments where it is necessary to measure the risk of a random vector. In this talk, we consider set-valued risk measures that are defined as compositions of two set-valued functions. This class of risk measures is rich enough to cover many examples of the systemic risk measures studied in the recent literature. We pay special attention to the properties of the constituent set-valued functions that guarantee the quasiconvexity of the composite risk measure. It turns out that the so-called natural quasiconvexity property, an old but not so well-known property between convexity and quasiconvexity, plays a key role in the study of these risk measures. The main results provide dual representations for quasiconvex, naturally quasiconvex and convex compositions in terms of the dual functions of the constituents. Talk II Title: Computation of systemic risk measures Abstract: Various approaches to measure systemic risk have been proposed in the recent literature using multivariate functionals. These functionals are typically defined in terms of a so-called aggregation function, which takes into account the interconnectedness of the institutions in the network, and a univariate risk measure applied to the random output of the aggregation function. In this talk, we specialize into the Eisenberg-Noe and Rogers-Veraart network models and formulate the corresponding systemic risk measures as large-scale vector optimization problems. While the former model yields a convex problem which can be solved efficiently using non-smooth optimization techniques, the efficient frontier for the latter model turns out to be the boundary of a non-convex set. -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

seminario Drivas a Pisa
by Marco Romito 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

dear all this is to announce that Theodore Drivas (Princeton University) will give a talk on *next Wednesday, June 12* at 11am in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa (largo B. Pontecorvo 5, 56127 Pisa). cheers m. *Title*: /Spontaneously stochastic solutions in dynamical systems with singularities/ *Abstract*: We consider a class of dynamical systems described by ordinary differential equations with an isolated singularity, where the singularity is characterized by the lack of Lipschitz continuity. Singularities are common in applications both for ODEs (e.g., particles collisions) and PDEs (e.g., finite-time blowup in fluid models). The fundamental obstacle is that solutions cannot be continued past the singularity uniquely: typically, there are infinitely many solutions. The conventional way to proceed is to define a regularization limit, such as vanishing viscosity or noise. It turns out that there are structurally stable situations when such a limit is not sensitive to a particular form of the regularization. This is explained by the analysis of attractors for the rescaled (non-singular) dynamical system and their ergodic properties. What is even more surprising is that solutions in this limit may become probabilistic (spontaneously stochastic) with the unique probability measure past the singularity. We will present rigorous results and discuss applications of this phenomenon.

Statistics Seminars 2019 Martedì 11 Giugno 2019 ore 14,30 Aula III, secondo piano, Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Optimal approximation of (anticipating) SDEs" Dott. Peter Parczewski, Mannheim University Abstract We present a general mean squared error expansion for optimal approximation of Wiener functionals based on finite and equidistant observations of the Brownian motion.The expansion is given in terms of Malliavin calculus and the terms involved exhibit Hilbert space structures. This gives lower error bounds for arbitrary numerical schemes which are constructed from an equidistant information of the Brownian motion. Due to this expansion we are able to recover and improve many results on optimal approximation of Ito SDEs and anticipating SDEs, where the integral is interpreted in Skorohod sense, a mean zero extension of the Ito integral to nonadapted integrands.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 14 Giugno 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Subhashis GHOSHAL (North Carolina State University) POSTERIOR CONTRACTION AND CREDIBLE SETS FOR FILAMENTS OF REGRESSION FUNCTIONS The filament of a smooth function f consists of local maximizers of f when moving in a certain direction. The filament is an important geometrical feature of the surface of the graph of a function. It is also considered as an important lower dimensional summary in analyzing multivariate data. There have been some recent theoretical studies on estimating filaments of a density function using a nonparametric kernel density estimator. In this talk, we consider a Bayesian approach and concentrate on the nonparametric regression problem. We study the posterior contraction rates for filaments using a finite random series of B-splines prior on the regression function. Compared with the kernel method, this has the advantage that the bias can be better controlled when the function is smoother, which allows obtaining better rates. Under an isotropic Holder smoothness condition, we obtain the posterior contraction rate for the filament under two different metrics — a distance of separation along an integral curve, and the Hausdorff distance between sets. Moreover, we construct credible sets of optimal size for the filament with sufficient frequentist coverage. We study the performance of our proposed method through a simulation study and apply on a dataset on California earthquakes to assess the fault-line of the maximum local earthquake intensity. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

seminario Georg Pflug in Bicocca
by Fabio Bellini 31 May '19

31 May '19

Il giorno giovedì 6 giugno alle ore 10.30 presso la Aula Seminari 4026 del DISMEQ, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il prof. Georg Pflug della Università di Vienna terrà un seminario su Model uncertainty in option pricing: challenging the Black-Scholes formula Abstract It is well known that the validity of the Black-Scholes (BS) formula is restricted to the case, when the Market model is a geometric Brownian motion and therefore admits only one Martingale measure. We consider the situation, when the decision is made on the basis of an acceptability measure (the dual of a risk measure) and the market model is not exactly known, but it is known that it belongs to some ambiguity set of models. We demonstrate that in this case a nonzero bid-ask spread appears, even if the market model is close to the BS model. The bid-ask spread increases with the degree of model uncertainty, but decreases with the acceptability level. The results are based on a duality theorem for ambiguous decisions. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Prof. Fabio Bellini Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, 20126 Milano 0039-2-64483119 http://scholar.google.it/citations?user=P61L8P4AAAAJ&hl=it

Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France

Three lectures on Algorithmic Game Theory
by Marco Scarsini 23 May '19

23 May '19

Professor Georgios Piliouras (Singapore University of Technology and Design) will give the following three lectures on "Frontiers in Algorithmic Game Theory" LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma Room 303 Monday May 27th, 2019, h16:00-17:30 Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies have shown to be reliable payment platforms and gathered immense interest in recent years. At their core, though, cryptocurrencies are simply decentralized ledgers: a network of participants who agree upon protocol rules that describe how the ledger can be update and maintain consensus among all participants. Even if no individual participant in the network can be trusted, a combination of cryptography and game-theoretic incentives ensures that the network as a whole is reliable and can be trusted. The aim of the tutorial is to provide an introduction to cryptocurrencies, outlining their structure and design with a focus on the game theoretic elements. Tuesday May 28th, 2019, h11:00-12:30 Markets as Pendulums: The Physics of Learning in Games We review a recent thread of papers that explores connections between adaptive learning dynamics in games and ideas in classical mechanics: E.g. When can we prove that learning behavior in a game is periodic? Is there a notion of energy that is being preserved? What are the laws of motion for markets? We will bring together notions from physics such as Poincaré recurrence, Hamiltonians and energy conservation with standard game theoretic notions of Nash and coarse correlated equilibria. No background in physics is expected and the talk will be self-contained. Wednesday May 29th, 2019, h11:00-12:30 Onset of Chaos in Traffic Routing (and Beyond) We study both theoretically and experimentally a standard theoretical benchmark of game theory, non-atomic routing games. Several learning dynamics are classically known to equilibrate in this setting due to its connection to convex optimization. Nevertheless, as we will show if we keep upping the total demand in these systems, then they go through phase transitions and become formally chaotic. We provide both theoretical and experimental evidence about the robustness of this phenomenon. A new vocabulary emerges to describe this behavior, such as formal definitions of chaos. We will examine this new terminology and give several examples to make these notions more intuitive. Finally, we will also uncover new regularities in these chaotic systems. What type of order is hidden within chaos? ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Luiss Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

REMINDER - International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 22 May '19

22 May '19

CREDIT2019 <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2019/credit2019.htm> *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *European DataWarehouse* (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *S&P Global Market Intelligence* (London, UK) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 26-27, 2019. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and Ph.D. 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 atmospheric events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful 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* (Milan, Italy) and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *eighteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. //The adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks a historical international commitment to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. How to mobilise the necessary financing for green and sustainable investments is thus a primary need. // //Meanwhile, Regulators are discussing about a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor since they want to make sure financial institutions are prepared. It is to find the way to support sustainable investments but it is primarily a discussion about credit risk.// //The banking and insurance industries and more in general the financial sector has to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with these new challenges and take advantage of the new opportunities. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design adapted 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: * Analysis of climate change effects on companies’ creditworthiness, in terms of risk exposure and possible loss of business continuity; understanding on how to integrate the environmental risk and opportunities of banks’ or insurers’ counterparties in the credit process * Development of metrics for climate-related financial risks and investments opportunities; definition of an EU environmental and climate change (ECC) risk categorising system by economic sectors/sub-sectors for ECC screening to provide a sound and reliable basis for setting high-level policies for credit protection and allocation * Analysis of the climate change impact on the insurance sector and on the development of non-life and reinsurance products for the corporate and retail segments Analysis of climate-aligned developments in the financial markets (e.g. green bonds) and opportunities for financial institutions in fostering the low-carbon transition * Transmission channels of climate-related shocks from the real economy to financial institutions’ portfolios and amplification mechanisms of climate-related shocks through credit chains * Assessment of the potential impact of green financial policies, including climate-aligned monetary policies and macroprudential regulation * Big data and artificial intelligence to assess and manage the corporate exposures to climate change factors. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Robert Engle *(New York University, Stern Business School), *Andreas Hoepner* (University College Dublin), *Irene Monasterolo* (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna) and *Til Schuermann *(Oliver Wyman, New York). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major outstanding problems.

Il 28 maggio alle ore 14 in Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma di terrà il seguente seminario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica: GERARD LETAC, IMT, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France MULTIVARIATE RECIPROCAL INVERSE GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTIONS: THE SURPRISING INTEGRALS OF SUPERSYMMETRY Abstract If $W=(w_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}\)$ is a symmetric matrix with $w_{ij}\geq 0$ and zero diagonal, consider the matrix $M_x=2\mathrm{diag}(x_1,\ldots,x_n)-W$ and the set $C_W$ of $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $M_x$ is positive definite. Physicists and probabilists have considered in the last ten years several integrals equivalent to $\int_{C_W}\exp(-a^*M_xa-b^*M_x^{-1}b)(\det M_x)^{q-1}dx$. According to the properties of the undirected graph $G$ associated to $W$ with vertices $1,\ldots,n$ and edges $(i,j)$ such that $w_{ij}\neq 0$, we compute some of these integrals and we study the corresponding exponential families on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with many attractive properties.

Final call "YUIMA Summer School". Free admission for students. Brixen (IT) 25-28 June 2019. Registration extended.
by stefano iacus 22 May '19

22 May '19

The first YUIMA Summer School on Computational and Statistical Methods for Stochastic Process & Third Yuima Workshop* This 4 days course aims at introducing researchers, PhD students and practitioners to several aspects of modern numerical and statistical analysis of time series through the R language and, in particular, the YUIMA package. The course covers topics of R programming, time series data handling, simulation and numerical analysis for several types of statistical models including: point processes, Hawkes processes,stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion with or without jumps, fractional Brownian motionand Lévy processes. *Program to be announced, by invitation only Who can benefit? Stochastic differential equations, with or without jumps, are nowadays used as statistical models in many contexts, including but not limited to, finance, insurance, phylogenetics, genomics, political analysis, economics,migration flow analysis,social network analysis, and more. They are continuous-time models fitted on discrete sampled data. Point processes, like Compound Poisson and Hawkes processes are used in Limit Order Book (LOB) analysis in trading and finance, as well as in the analysis of rainfalls in meteorology or in earthquakes analysis in seismology. Jump and Lèvy processes extends many of the above models to a variety of statistical distributions that are able to capture stylised facts about real time series. Last, but not least, fractional processes are typical tools of climate change studies. Although the course could not cover all of the above applications, the participants can benefit from understanding the simulation and estimation techniques for these classes of stochastic process and apply to their own research field with the help of the faculties of this summer school. Students are admitted for free! But we have a limited number of slots, register soon! Due to high requests, registration has been extended to May 31st 2019. Hurry up!

22 May '19

Buongiorno, la prossima settimana abbiamo ospite del Dipartimento il Dr. Otavio Menezes dell'Universita' di Lisbona, che terra' un seminario e due lezioni sul metodo di entropia per sistemi di particelle. Le lezioni sono pensate anche per studenti di dottorato. Sotto trovate i dettagli. Grazie Buona Giornata Alessandra *(A) Seminar* Monday 27 May, 16:00 Aula di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, University La Sapienza Speaker: Otavio Menezes (Univsersity of Lisbon) Title: Relative entropy and scaling limits of interacting particle systems Abstract: We obtain product approximations to the law of particle systems with exclusion and Glauber dynamics in finite volume, by establishing a bound on the relative entropy between the law of the system and the product measure. As applications of the entropy estimate we obtain the scaling limits of the density fluctuation fields close of equilibrium and bounds on the speed of convergence of the hydrodynamic limit. Joint work with Milton Jara. *(B) Minicourse* When: Tuesday 28 May, 15:00-17:00 and Wednesday 29 May, 14:00-16:00. Where: Room B, Department of Mathematics, La Sapienza Speaker: Otavio Menezes (Univsersity of Lisbon) Title: Relative entropy and scaling limits of interacting particle systems Abstract: The relative entropy method was developed by H.T. Yau in the 90’s to study the hydrodynamics of the Ginzburg-Landau model, and then adapted to several different dynamics. In this course we present the Relative Entropy Method of Yau in the context of general continuous time Markov chains, as well as recent progress in the setting of exclusion and Glauber dynamics.

Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Research Fellow in Mathematics, University of Cambridge) Titolo: Fluctuations and mixing for random growth models Abstract *Obtaining a rigorous understanding of the formation of complex patterns in nature is a long-standing problem, which has motivated the introduction of several probabilistic models in the Mathematics and Physics literature. In this talk I will present some of these models, both discrete and continuous, discussing asymptotic behavior, fluctuations and mixing and presenting results obtained in collaboration with L. Levine, J. Norris and A. Turner.* -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Seminario: Yosi Rinott su Privacy in data dissemination, differential privacy, and adaptivity,
by Antonio Pievatolo 16 May '19

16 May '19

Giovedì 23 maggio alle 14:30, presso il CNR-IMATI, in via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula A, si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Yosi Rinott, The Hebrew University. Title: Privacy in data dissemination, differential privacy, and adaptivity. Abstract: I will demonstrate privacy issues that arise when an agency, for example ISTAT or a hospital, disseminates data such as a sample from some population or experimental results to the public or to other agencies. Various methods used by statisticians to assess the disclosure risk, and to decrease it will be briefly reviewed (e.g., Dalenius 1977). In general, such methods depend on scenarios regarding potential intruders, such as the intruder’s prior knowledge about the sample or the population. Differential Privacy (Dwork, McSherry, Nissim and Smith2006) is an approach that avoids the need to consider such scenarios, and guarantees a well-defined notion of privacy by adding noise to all released data. I will describe some basic results on differential privacy with some discussion of its application to the release of contingency tables (Dwork and Roth 2014, Rinott, O’Keefe, Shlomo, and Skinner 2018). Ongoing work on data analysis that takes the added noise into account will be discussed. An attempt to use ideas from differential privacy to control adaptive hypotheses testing or estimation will be described. Here, “adaptive” means choosing the hypotheses to be tested after peeking (snooping) at the data, which is a major problem in data mining, and probably explains in part why so many contradictory finding appear in medical journals. -- Dr Antonio Pievatolo IMATI-CNR http://www.imati.cnr.it/joomla/index.php/people?layout=edit&id=101 ph. +39 02 23699 520

Due to interference effects, statistical properties of quantum walks can drastically differ from their classical counterparts, leading to much faster computations. In this talk, we shall discuss various statistical properties of continuous-time quantum walks on a lattice, such as: survival properties of quantum particles in the presence of traps (i.e. a quantum generalization of the Donsker-Varadhan stretched exponential law), the growth of a quantum population in the presence of a source, quantum return probabilities and Loschmidt echoes. ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Colloquium di Luca Trevisan a Roma Tre il 12/06/19

COLLOQUIUM DI MATEMATICA Luca Trevisan U.C. Berkeley Titolo: Some simple distributed network processes Mercoledi' 12 Giugno 2019 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula M3, edificio Aule - Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract We will describe network processes in which, at each step, each node communicates with its neighbors, or a random subset of neighbors, and updates its state according to the outcome of these communications. We will first talk about processes in which each node updates its state to be "more like" the state of the neighbors. In a complete communication network, such protocols provide a solution to the problem of reaching a consensus, and they do so in a way that is robust to adversarial interventions. In a communication network with a clustered structure, such protocols give a decentralized solution to the community detection problem. We will then discuss a protocol in which each node wants to choose a constant number of neighbors in such a way that the resulting constant-degree subnet of the communication network is an expander. This is done in a way to similar to how virtual networks are formed in peer-to-peer protocols. We show that if the original communication network is a dense expanders, the protocol will construct a constant-degree expander. (Based on joint work with Luca Becchetti, Andrea Clementi, Pasin Manurangsi, Emanuele Natale, Francesco Pasquale and Prasad Raghavendra.)

de Finetti risk seminar - may 2019
by Emanuela Rosazza 10 May '19

10 May '19

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Samuel Cohen University of Oxford Title: Multi-armed bandits with uncertainty Abstract: Making good decisions based on estimates is difficult, but of clear importance in many applications. This is particularly the case when the decisions made will affect the information available in the future. Formally, this means that the filtration of our problem is not fixed in advance, but depends on the control used. We will consider the 'simplest' problem of this type, a multi-armed bandit problem, while taking account of uncertainty aversion. We will see that an extension of the classical Gittins' index approach is possible in this framework, despite many dynamic consistency issues. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 28, at 18.00, Aula di Rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A light reception will take place at 17.45. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ.

Saldini 50, Milano il Professor *CLAUDIO MACCI*(Università di Roma Tor Vergata) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Multivariate fractional (possibly compound) Poisson processes* ABSTRACT: We present multivariate space-time fractional Poisson processes by considering common random time-changes of a finite-dimensional vector of independent classical (nonfractional) Poisson processes. In some cases we also consider compound processes. We obtain some equations in terms of some suitable fractional derivatives and fractional difference operators, which provides the extension of known equations for the univariate processes. In particular we show that, for each fixed $t\geq 0$, the conditional joint distribution of the components given their sum is multinomial, as happens for the nonfractional Poisson processes. Thus we consider a suitable multivariate "alternative" fractional Poisson process, and we study its asymptotic behavior for large times (large and moderate deviations). The results appear in two papers with Luisa Beghin. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Another talk by Jacques Franchi at Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 07 May '19

07 May '19

Dear all, I would like to announce a second talk that Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) will hold on Thursday, May 9th 2019, at 11 AM in Aula Dal Passo of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) Title: From Euclidian to Riemannian and Relativistic Diffusions Abstract: Brownian Motion was first defined (in physics and in mathematics) in R and then in the Euclidian space. Then it was constructed on a generic Riemannian manifold, and gained a more geometrical status, which was intensively developed. More recently, on the unit tangent bundle of the Minkowski space and then of a generic Lorentzian manifold, was also constructed its analogue, called "relativistic diffusion". It keeps the geometric feature of being covariant with isometries, but is associated with strictly hypoelliptic and non-self-adjoint generators and kernels. Examples were studied : the Schwarzschild geometry, the G"odel universe, the Robertson-Walker manifolds. However the use of relativistic diffusions to address geometrical questions about Lorentzian geometry or analysis is much harder than in the elliptic (Riemannian) case.

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday May 10th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni (1101) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Massimo Franchi (Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma) Title: Cointegration in Functional Autoregressive Processes Abstract: In this talk we define the class of H-valued autoregressive (AR) processes with a unit root of finite type, where H is an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, and derive a generalization of the Granger-Johansen Representation Theorem valid for any integration order d = 1, 2, . . . . An existence theorem shows that the solution of an AR with a unit root of finite type is necessarily integrated of some finite integer d and displays a common trends representation with a finite number of common stochastic trends of the type of (cumulated) bilateral random walks and an infinite dimensional cointegrating space. A characterization theorem clarifies the connections between the structure of the AR operators and (i) the order of integration, (ii) the structure of the attractor space and the cointegrating space, (iii) the expression of the cointegrating relations, and (iv) the triangular representation of the process.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 10 Maggio 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Francesco STINGO (Università di Firenze) STATISTICAL METHODS FOR PRECISION MEDICINE: PROGNOSTIC AND PREDICTIVE MODELING Cancer is a heterogeneous disease at different molecular, genomic and clinical levels. Identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers is of critical importance in developing personalized treatment for clinically and molecularly heterogeneous diseases such as cancer. I will first present a prognostic model for the identification of patient-specific biomarkers based on protogenomics data; this novel Bayesian hierarchical varying-sparsity regression (BEHAVIOR) model selects clinically relevant disease markers by integrating proteogenomic (proteomic+genomic) and clinical data. In the second part of the talk I will present a Bayesian predictive method for personalized treatment selection that is devised to integrate both the (previously identified) treatment predictive and disease prognostic characteristics of a particular patient’s disease. The method appropriately characterizes the structural constraints inherent to prognostic and predictive biomarkers, and hence properly utilizes these complementary sources of information for treatment selection. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Cari colleghi, vi annuncio che Martedì 7 maggio 2019 alle ore 14 precise, in Aula Beltrami del dipartimento di Matematica "F. Casorati" (Università di Pavia) il Prof. Mauro Mariani (HSE Mosca) terrà un seminario dal titolo: METASTABLE REGIMES OF DIFFUSION PROCESSES nell'ambito del Seminario di matematica applicata. Abstract. I will discuss a classical example featuring a metastable behavior: finite-dimensional diffusion processes in the vanishing noise limit. Exponential estimates have been introduced fifty years ago by Freidlin and Wentzell. Recent developments in potential theory and variational convergence allowed a refinement of those results. I will focus on the non-reversible case, with motivations coming from MonteCarlo methods.

Seminario L. Torricelli - DSE Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 03 May '19

03 May '19

AVVISO di SEMINARIO 7 May 2019 - Polo Santa Marta, Via Cantarane 24, Sala Vaona (Room 1.59) Speaker: Lorenzo Torricelli Title: Stochastic clock methods for trade duration in option pricing Abstract: Stochastic clock and in-business-time return models are useful in finance to recover Gaussianity of asset returns by means of re-normalisation with an increasing process (a time change) capturing the market activity (number of trades and their sizes) through time. When applied to a Brownian motion parent process, absolutely continuous time changes give raise to stochastic volatility return models, whereas if the stochastic clock is an independent Lévy subordinator, a new pure jump Lévy model is attained. In this talk I introduce a third way of using stochastic clock techniques, specifically geared towards modelling stochasticity in the times of price revisions, i.e. trade duration, within a Lévy-based, continuous-time finance framework. By using as a time change the first hitting time process of a Lévy subordinator we turn a jump process into a continuous but locally constant one, thus obtaining a stochastic clock which can be interpreted as a calendar time where the price evolution is halted at random instants. I illustrate some of the many applications such a technique may have, with a specific view to option pricing. I discuss three main topics: (i) modelling of regulatory and automated trading halts in equity markets; (ii); explicit identification of a market price of risk connected to liquidity factors; (iii) impact of dependence between duration and returns in the large maturity decay of the implied volatility skew. Explicit analytic pricing formulae can indeed be exhibited, making use of the fact that an analytic transform theory of appropriate inverse Lévy subordinators is fully developed. I finally suggest that the statistical fitting of such models poses delicate questions. For example, for a principled option prices calibration, it is critical to understand which of the trade duration parameters can be derived from the market implied risk-neutral distributions, and which are instead inherent to the market microstructure, and must therefore appear in the minimisation problem as a constraining factor. -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com<http://www.alessandrognoatto.com> E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it<mailto:alessandro.gnoatto@univr.it> -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Seminario di Mauro Mariani a Roma La Sapienza (10.05.19)
by Faggionato, Alessandra 02 May '19

02 May '19

Buongiorno vi annuncio un secondo seminario per la prossima settimana qui alla Sapienza (v.sotto). Grazie Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Venerdì 10 Maggio, ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, La Sapienza. Speaker: Mauro Mariani, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow Title: Scaling limit of a continuous model of active particles. Abstract: A free energy functional arising from kinetic mean field models of interacting particles is considered. We study the variational limit, in the regime of long time and strong interaction. While the density of particles only features a weak limit in the phase space (say position and velocity), the projection of such a density on the spacial coordinates has a meaningful limit, which satisfies a hydrodynamic equation. We characterizes the tensors appearing in the hydrodynamic limit, in terms of the interaction and velocity field of the original model. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Buongiorno il seminario di Lorenzo Dello Schiavo precedentemente annunciato sarà anticipato alle ore 13.45. Sotto l'annuncio aggiornato. Grazie Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martedi' 7 Maggio, ore 13:45, Aula di Consiglio, Dip. Matematica, La Sapienza Speaker: Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (Università di Bonn) Titolo: The Dirichlet-Ferguson diffusion Abstract: We define, via Dirichlet forms’ theory, a geometric diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold. The process is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L^2-Wasserstein gradient and by the Dirichlet-Ferguson random measure with intensity the Riemannian volume measure on the base manifold. We discuss the closability of the form via an integration-by-parts formula, which allows explicit computations for the generator and a specification of the process via a measure-valued SPDE. We comment how the construction is related to previous work of von Renesse—Sturm on the Wasserstein Diffusion and of Konarovskyi—von Renesse on the Modified Massive Arratia Flow. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 01 May '19

01 May '19

CREDIT2019 <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2019/credit2019.htm> *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *European DataWarehouse* (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *S&P Global Market Intelligence* (London, UK) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 26-27, 2019. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and Ph.D. 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 atmospheric events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful 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* (Milan, Italy) and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *eighteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. //The adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks a historical international commitment to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. How to mobilise the necessary financing for green and sustainable investments is thus a primary need. // //Meanwhile, Regulators are discussing about a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor since they want to make sure financial institutions are prepared. It is to find the way to support sustainable investments but it is primarily a discussion about credit risk.// //The banking and insurance industries and more in general the financial sector has to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with these new challenges and take advantage of the new opportunities. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design adapted 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: * Analysis of climate change effects on companies’ creditworthiness, in terms of risk exposure and possible loss of business continuity; understanding on how to integrate the environmental risk and opportunities of banks’ or insurers’ counterparties in the credit process * Development of metrics for climate-related financial risks and investments opportunities; definition of an EU environmental and climate change (ECC) risk categorising system by economic sectors/sub-sectors for ECC screening to provide a sound and reliable basis for setting high-level policies for credit protection and allocation * Analysis of the climate change impact on the insurance sector and on the development of non-life and reinsurance products for the corporate and retail segments Analysis of climate-aligned developments in the financial markets (e.g. green bonds) and opportunities for financial institutions in fostering the low-carbon transition * Transmission channels of climate-related shocks from the real economy to financial institutions’ portfolios and amplification mechanisms of climate-related shocks through credit chains * Assessment of the potential impact of green financial policies, including climate-aligned monetary policies and macroprudential regulation * Big data and artificial intelligence to assess and manage the corporate exposures to climate change factors. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Robert Engle *(New York University, Stern Business School), *Andreas Hoepner* (University College Dublin), *Irene Monasterolo* (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna) and *Til Schuermann *(Oliver Wyman, New York). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major outstanding problems.

Seminario di Jacques Franchi a Roma
by Anna Vidotto 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Tuesday, May 7th 2019, at 4:30 PM in Aula Dal Passo of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) Title: Small time equivalents for the density of a planar quadratic Langevin diffusion Abstract: Exact small time equivalents for the density of the (heat kernel) semi-group, with a control of the error term, are obtained for a quadratic planar analogue of the Langevin diffusion, which is strictly hypoelliptic and non-Gaussian, hence of a different nature from the known Riemannian, sub-Riemannian and linear-Gaussian cases. Namely I consider the density p_t of X_t := ( B_t , \int_0^t B_s^2 ds ), where B_t is real Brownian, and I obtain the asymptotic behaviours, as t --> 0, of p_t(0,(w,y)) and p_t(0,(w,ty)), which both can be seen as natural extensions beyond the degenerate Langevin-Gaussian framework. The result for the scaled regime is the first such one in a non-Gaussian strictly hypoelliptic framework. The method is half-probabilistic half-analytic.

Mini-course announcement: Stochastic control and mean-field games [L.Campi @Dept. Comp. Science - UniVr]
by Luca di persio 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

The Dept. of Comp. Science, College of Mathematics [ UniVr ] : https://goo.gl/maps/yeKWo3vri8PkHjUm9 will host the following mini-course *Title*: Stochastic control and mean-field games [ 2 ECTS ] which will be given by prof. Luciano Campi [LSE - London] *Stochastic control and mean-field games* In this mini-course we will give a short introduction of stochastic control problems and games, especially in view to applications in economics and finance such as - but not limited to - portfolio optimization. Two main approaches will be discussed: dynamic programming principle via PDEs (Partial Differential Equations), Pontryagin maximum principle via BSDEs (Backward Stochastic Differential Equations). Moreover, an application to the latter method to the very popular class of mean-field games (MFGs) will be presented as well together with some relevant applications to study strategic interaction among economic agents, such as banks and investors. Other applications of MFGs to, for instance, energy markets and crowd dynamics, will be also discussed if time allows. The list of topics will be: (i) Stochastic control: formulation of the problem with examples. (ii) Dynamic programming principle and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDE. (iii) Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle and BSDEs. (iv) Mean-field games: characterization of Nash equilibria and applications. *Main references*: • Carmona, R., Delarue, F. (2018).

ISIPTA 2019: call for posters
by Serena Doria 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Our call for papers teasingly stated that ?There?s more to uncertainty than probabilities? and set out to try and convince you that ISIPTA 2019 is a good place for discussing such matters. The paper submission deadline has passed, but rest assured, you can still present your work at ISIPTA, because poster abstract submission has opened. These poster abstracts are intended for discussing preliminary results and open questions, and also for bringing already published results to the attention of the ISIPTA audience. Each accepted poster abstract will be announced in a one-minute plenary spotlight presentation, and the accompanying poster will be presented at length during one of the discussion sessions. Given the prominent role of poster presentations at ISIPTA, these sessions provide you with a genuine opportunity for presenting your work to the ISIPTA audience. Furthermore, as icing on the cake, presenting a poster also makes you eligible for one of our poster awards. The deadline for poster submission is June 7. You can submit at any time before that, though, and we will provide you with a decision within two weeks. Furthermore, for poster abstracts that are submitted before May 6, we guarantee a decision announced before the early registration deadline of May 15. Not convinced yet? Then perhaps the following features can persuade you. We?d like to highlight the availability of grants for attendees with limited funding, and the possibility of applying for the IJAR Young Researcher Award. Basic info: ISIPTA 2019 is the 20-year anniversary edition of the world?s main forum on imprecise probabilities. It will take place in Ghent, Belgium, from 3 to 6 July 2019, and is currently open for registration. All details are available at http://isipta2019.ugent.be. Scope: The ISIPTA conferences are devoted to robustness and imprecision in uncertainty modelling, inference and decision making, focusing in particular on uncertainty frameworks that extend or replace the probabilistic one. Invited speakers: ISIPTA 2019 will feature keynote talks by Thomas Dietterich, Vladimir Vovk and Aharon Ben-Tal, respectively on robust AI, game-theoretic probability and robust optimization, and how these relate to imprecise probabilities. Additionally, on the occasion of ISIPTA?s 20-year anniversary, four former presidents of SIPTA will give invited talks on topics close to their hearts. Concept: Each accepted contribution is presented and discussed, in two separate sessions. Presentations are short and always plenary. Detailed explanations and discussions are face-to-face, typically with the aid of a poster and a flipchart. Atmosphere: ISIPTA conferences are characterised by a friendly and cooperative style, a strong emphasis on in-depth discussion and openness to new ideas. We hope that you too will enjoy and contribute to this unique atmosphere. Venue: Ghent has been called ?Belgium?s best kept secret? by the Lonely Planet travel guide and a ?medieval masterpiece? by The Guardian. The conference takes place in an old Augustinian monastery, situated in its historic city centre. Social programme: In order to blow off the accumulated academic steam, the programme also features several social activities, such as an opening reception at the town hall, a guided boat trip along the city centre canals, and a conference dinner with regional specialties, including some of our excellent Belgian beers. Types of contributions: We accept long papers, short papers and poster abstracts. The deadline for papers has passed though. The deadline for poster abstract submission is the 7th of June. For poster abstracts that are submitted before the 6th of May, we guarantee a decision before the early registration deadline of May 15. Grants: For researchers who would like to attend ISIPTA 2019, but are unable to do so due to budget constraints, we have grants available to cover (part of) the costs. Preference will be given to PhD students, but the grants are also open to more senior researchers. Information on how to apply is available on our website. Awards: ISIPTA 2019 will hand out an IJAR Young Researcher Award (for excellent research in the area of imprecise probabilities) and several poster prizes. The former is sponsored by the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, the latter by Wiley and Springer. The deadline for applying for the IJAR Young Researcher Award is the 7th of June; the rules for application are available on our website. Anyone who presents a poster (either for a paper or poster abstract) is eligible for the poster prizes. We look forward to receiving your contribution and to seeing you in Ghent.

Seminario RINOTT
by Matteo Ruggiero 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 3 Maggio 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Yosef RINOTT (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) MONOTONICITY OF CONVERGENCE OF POSTERIORS, AND TURAN TYPE INEQUALITIES Given a prior distribution on a space of states of nature, suppose we quantify our belief a given state is by computing its posterior probability having received a signal. If the signal arises under the same (true) state, does it always boost our belief that this is indeed the true state, and when it does, in what sense? What happens to this belief given a signal distributed according to a different state? Given a sequence of iid observations, the posterior probability of a parameter, when the data are generated according to the same parameter, converges to one, and to zero when the data are generated by another value of the parameter. We study monotonicity and unimodality properties of this convergence including stochastic orderings between prior and posterior, and monotonicity of the expected posterior. Some of the results apply to very general settings, and in others we focus on coin tossing. It turns out that there is a relation to Turan’s inequality for orthogonal polynomials, and in particular, to Legendre polynomials. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

Seminario L. Campi - Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

AVVISO di SEMINARIO 24 April 2019 at 14.00 - Polo Santa Marta, Via Cantarane 24, Sala Vaona (Room 1.59) Speaker: Luciano Campi (London School of Economics) Title: Optimal market making under partial information with general intensities Abstract: Starting from the Avellaneda--Stoikov framework, we consider a market maker who wants to optimally set bid/ask quotes over a finite time interval, to maximize her expected utility. The intensities of the orders she receives depend not only on the spreads she quotes, but also on unobservable factors modelled by a hidden Markov chain. We tackle this stochastic control problem under partial information with a model that unifies and generalizes many existing ones, combining several risk metrics and constraints, and using general decreasing intensity functionals. We use stochastic filtering, control and piecewise-deterministic Markov processes theory, to reduce the dimensionality of the problem and characterize the reduced value function as the unique continuous viscosity solution of its dynamic programming equation. We then solve the analogous full information problem and compare the results numerically through a concrete example. We show that the optimal full information spreads are biased when the exact market regime is unknown, and the MM needs to adjust for `regime risk' in terms of liquidity volatility and sensitivity to regime changes. This effect becomes higher the longer the waiting time in between orders. The talk is based on a joint paper with D. Zabaljauregui (LSE). -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com<http://www.alessandrognoatto.com> E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it<mailto:alessandro.gnoatto@univr.it> -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Seminar Blanka Horvath in Padova (16/04/'19)
by Giorgia Callegaro 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Dear all, I invite you to the seminar "Deep learning volatility", that will be given by Dr. Blanka Horvath (King's College - Londra), next Tuesday at 11.30, in room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department in Padova. The abstract follows: * Abstract: We present a consistent neural network based calibration method for a number of volatility models-including the rough volatility family-that performs the calibration task within a few milliseconds for the full implied volatility surface. The aim of neural networks in this work is an off-line approximation of complex pricing functions, which are difficult to represent or time-consuming to evaluate by other means. We highlight how this perspective opens new horizons for quantitative modelling: The calibration bottleneck posed by a slow pricing of derivative contracts is lifted. This brings several model families (such as rough volatility models) within the scope of applicability in industry practice. As customary for machine learning, the form in which information from available data is extracted and stored is crucial for network performance. With this in mind we discuss how our approach addresses the usual challenges of machine learning solutions in a financial context (availability of training data, interpretability of results for regulators, control over generalisation errors). We present specific architectures for price approximation and calibration and optimize these with respect different objectives regarding accuracy, speed and robustness. We also find that including the intermediate step of learning pricing functions of (classical or rough) models before calibration significantly improves network performance compared to direct calibration to data. The talk is based on joint work with A. Muguruza an M. Tomas, available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3322085 See you there (if interested!), Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

09 Apr '19

Dear Colleagues, a special session entitled ‘Challenges in modelling sparse and noisy data’ will take place during the AMASES Annual Conference, which will be held in Perugia on September 9-11, 2019 (http://amases2019.unipg.it<http://amases2019.unipg.it/>). [http://amases2019.unipg.it/images/piazza4novembre.jpg]<http://amases2019.unipg.it/> AMASES 2019<http://amases2019.unipg.it/> amases2019.unipg.it 43 rd Annual Meeting of the AMASES Association for Mathematics Applied to Social and Economic Sciences Perugia, September 9-11, 2019. The meeting is organized both by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Economics of the University of Perugia. As in the AMASES established tradition, the purpose of the meeting is to stimulate discussion among scholars and ... Topic of the session Far more than in the past, policy makers, investors, and data scientists are required to take decisions based on sparse and noisy data. Observations from heterogeneous sources, typically sampled at different frequencies, and contaminated by noise, need to be aggregated and analyzed jointly. This is customary in several economic applications, including macroeconomics, high-frequency finance, climate economics, and data science. Traditional mathematical and statistical methods can lead to misleading conclusions when these features are not properly accounted for. The objective of this session is to present the latest methodologies and to foster discussions among researchers from different fields. Theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to: - high-frequency time series modelling - mixed-frequency data modelling in economic and social sciences - dimensionality reduction and factor analysis - sparse data modelling - noisy data filtering and smoothing It is a great pleasure to invite you to submit an extended abstract. To be considered for the stream, please submit your abstract by specifying the stream code (MSND) in the file name (MSND-[surname of author who will present the paper].pdf). Please refer to the official web page of the conference for further details on the submission. Important dates: May 1, 2019: deadline for abstract submission June 10, 2019: notification of acceptance June 17, 2019: early registration July 1, 2019: late registration For information, please contact: Giacomo Bormetti (giacomo.bormetti(a)unibo.it) Giuseppe Buccheri (giuseppe.buccheri(a)sns.it) Fabrizio Lillo (fabrizio.lillo(a)unibo.it) We are looking forward to meeting you in Perugia.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 12 Aprile 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Daniel PAULIN (University of Oxford) CONNECTIONS BETWEEN OPTIMIZATION AND SAMPLING In this talk, I am going to look at some connections between optimization and sampling. In “Hamiltonian descent methods’’, we introduce a new optimization method is based on conformal Hamiltonian dynamics. It was inspired by the literature on Hamiltonian MCMC methods. The use of general kinetic energies allows us to obtain linear rates of convergence for a much larger class than strongly convex and smooth functions. “Dual Space Preconditioning for Gradient Descent” applies a similar idea to gradient descent. We introduce a new optimization method based on nonlinear preconditioning of gradient descent, with simple and transparent conditions for convergence. “Randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo as Scaling Limit of the Bouncy Particle Sampler and Dimension-Free Convergence Rates” studies the high dimensional behaviour of the Bouncy Particle Sampler (BPS), a non-reversible piecewise deterministic MCMC method. Although the paths of this method are straight lines, we show that in high dimensions they converge to a Randomised Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RHMC) process, whose paths are determined by the Hamiltonian dynamics. We also give a characterization of the mixing rate of the RHMC process for log-concave target distributions that can be used to tune the parameters of BPS. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Cari tutti, Ricordo il seminario che si terrà venerdì 5 aprile alle ore 16.30 in aula D’Antoni, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. Speaker: Paolo Di Tella (Technische Universität Dresden) Title: On The Weak Representation Property in Progressively Enlarged Filtrations with an Application in Exponential Utility Maximization Abstract: In this talk we show that the weak representation property of a semimartingale X with respect to a filtration F is preserved in the progressive enlargement G by a random time τ avoiding F-stopping times and such that F is immersed in G. As an application of this, we can solve an exponential utility maximization problem in the enlarged filtration G following the dynamical approach, based on suitable BSDEs, both over the fixed-time horizon [0, T], T > 0, and over the random-time horizon [0, T ∧ τ]. — This talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006 — Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Hron e Machalova
by Alessandra Menafoglio 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Si avvisa che in data 2-4-2019, alle ore 15:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatori Karel Hron e Jitka Machalova, Palacky University Olomouc, Czech Republic Titolo Simplicial splines for representation of density functions Abstract In the context of functional data analysis, probability density functions as non-negative functions are characterized by specific properties of scale invariance and relative scale which enable to represent them with the unit integral constraint without loss of information. On the other hand, all these properties are a challenge when the densities need to be approximated with spline functions, including construction of the respective B-spline basis. The Bayes space methodology of density functions enables to express them as real functions in the standard L2 space using the clr transformation. The resulting functions possess the zero integral constraint. This is a key to propose a new B-spline basis, holding the same property, and consequently to build a new class of spline functions, called simplicial splines, which can approximate probability density functions in a consistent way. The contribution provides also construction of smoothing simplicial splines and possible orthonormalization of the B-spline basis which might be useful in some applications. Finally, a concise analysis using simplicial splines is demonstrated with anthropometric data for the case of simplicial functional principal component analysis. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

27 Mar '19

Cari tutti, giovedì 4 aprile, alle ore 14:30, presso la Sala Riunioni del Dipartimento di Matematica (primo piano) dell'Università degli studi di Pisa si terrà il seguente seminario: (Dear all, on Thursday, April 4th, 2:30 PM, the following talk will take place in Sala Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Pisa:) SPEAKER: Giacomo De Palma (University of Copenhagen) TITLE: Random deep neural networks are biased towards simple functions ABSTRACT: We prove that the binary classifiers of bit strings generated by random wide deep neural networks are biased towards simple functions. The simplicity is captured by the following two properties. For any given input bit string, the average Hamming distance of the closest input bit string with a different classification is at least sqrt(n/(2πlog(n))), where n is the length of the string. Moreover, if the bits of the initial string are flipped randomly, the average number of flips required to change the classification grows linearly with n. On the contrary, for a uniformly random binary classifier, the average Hamming distance of the closest input bit string with a different classification is one, and the average number of random flips required to change the classification is two. Our proof is based on the recent breakthrough in machine learning stating that random deep neural networks behave as Gaussian processes. Our results are confirmed by numerical experiments on deep ne ural networks with two hidden layers, and settle the conjecture stating that random deep neural networks are biased towards simple functions. The conjecture that random deep neural networks are biased towards simple functions was proposed and numerically explored in [Valle Pérez et al., arXiv:1805.08522] to explain the unreasonably good generalization properties of deep learning algorithms. By providing a precise characterization of the form of this bias towards simplicity, our results open the way to a rigorous proof of the generalization properties of deep learning algorithms in real-world scenarios. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

An afternoon in Probability: Torino meets Leeds
by Elvira Di Nardo 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

%---------------------------------------------------------------------------% An afternoon in Probability: Torino meets Leeds Torino, April 16, 2019 %----------------------------------------------------------------------------% Room 09 - ESOMAS Department Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino -----------------Program (Speakers and abstracts)------------------ 14:30-15:10 Tiziano De Angelis (School of Mathematics, University of Leeds) Title: Probabilistic results concerning smoothness of the value function and of the free boundary in optimal stopping Abstract: I will present probabilistic proofs of some regularity properties for the value function of general optimal stopping problems and for the associated optimal boundaries. In particular this talk focuses on C^1 regularity of the value function and Lipschitz continuity of the optimal boundary. Most of our arguments rely on fundamental concepts from the theory of Markov processes and bridge the probabilistic and the analytical strands of the literature on free boundary problems. I will also illustrate situations in which our work improves or complements known facts from PDE theory. 15:10-15:40 Elena Issoglio (School of Mathematics, University of Leeds) Title: A numerical scheme for a multidimensional SDEs with distributional drift Abstract: This talk focuses on a multidimensional SDE where the drift is an element of a fractional Sobolev space with negative order, hence a distribution. This SDE admits a unique weak solution in a suitable sense - this was proven in [Flandoli, Issoglio, Russo (2017)]. The aim here is to construct a numerical scheme to approximate this solution. One of the key problems is that the drift cannot be evaluated pointwise, hence we approximate it with suitable functions using Haar wavelets, and then apply (an extended version of) Euler-Maruyama scheme. We then show that the algorithm converges in law, and in the special 1-dimensional case we also get a rate of convergence. This talk is based on a joint work with T. De Angelis and M. Germain. 15.40-16:10 coffee break 16:10-16:50 Elena Vigna (ESOMAS , University of Leeds) Title: On time consistency for mean-variance portfolio selection Abstract: This talk addresses a comparison between different approaches to time inconsistency for the mean-variance portfolio selection problem. We define a suitable intertemporal preferences-driven reward and use it to compare the three possible approaches to time inconsistency for the mean-variance portfolio selection problem over $[t_0,T]$: precommitment approach, consistent planning or game theoretical approach, and dynamically optimal approach. We find that the precommitment strategy beats the other strategies if the investor only cares at the view point at time $t_0$ and is not concerned to be time-inconsistent in $(t_0,T)$; the consistent planning strategy dominates the dynamically optimal strategy until a time point $t^*\in(t_0,T)$ and is dominated by the dynamically optimal strategy from $t^*$ onwards. 16:50-17:30 Cristina Zucca (Dept. of Mathematics, University of Torino) Title: Inverse First Passage Time problem for diffusions Abstract: In several applications the dynamics of the variables of interest is described via suitable stochastic processes constrained by boundaries and the focus is on the first passage time (FPT). This is the direct FPT problem. However, there are also instances when the underlying stochastic process is assigned, one knows or estimates the FPT distribution and wishes to determine the corresponding boundary shape. This is the inverse first passage time (IFPT) problem. Here we study this problem in the case of one dimensional diffusion process constrained by a single boundary or two boundaries. We also extend the IFPT method to multivariate Gauss-Markov processes and we investigate the boundary shape corresponding to given FPT distributions for suitable choices of the parameters. Special attention is given to the Integrated Brownian motion and the two-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Some examples of applications of the proposed methods will be illustrated. The participation is free. Please, share this information with people potentially interested. -- %------------------------------------------------------- Elvira Di Nardo Dept. Mathematics "G.

Seminari 25 marzo a Pisa
by Dario Trevisan 23 Mar '19

23 Mar '19

Cari tutti, lunedì 25 marzo presso la Sala Seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli studi di Pisa si terranno i seguenti seminari: (Dear all, on Monday, March 25th, the following two talks will take place in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Pisa:) ORE 14:00 -- Stefano Pagliarani (Università degli studi di Udine) **Contraction methods for a class of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps.** ORE 15:00 -- Martin Saal (University of Darmstadt) **White noise solutions for (m)SQG** Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ### Abstract S. Pagliarani: We consider two prototype classes of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. In the first case, the coefficient is assumed to be affine in the state-variable, only measurable in the law, and the dynamics allow for Lévy jumps. We study the equivalent functional fixed-point equation for the unknown time-dependent coefficients of the associated Markovian SDE. By proving a contraction property for the functional map in a suitable normed space, we infer existence and uniqueness results for the MK-V SDE, and derive a discretized Picard iteration method that approximates the law of the solution. Numerical illustrations show the effectiveness of the method, which appears to be appropriate to handle multi-dimensional settings. We finally describe possible extensions and generalizations to more general settings. The second class of MKV SDEs that we consider allows for self-exicitng jumps, which amounts to having jumps through hitting the boundary in the equivalent large particle system. The corresponding PDE problem is a particular instance of free-boundary problems known as supercooled Stefan-like problems. We write a Volterra equation for the free boundary and prove contraction results that are useful to determine the properties of the solution and to provide convergent numerical schemes. Abstract M. Saal: The inviscid surface quasigeostrophic equation (SQG) describes (roughly speaking) the temperature in a rapidly rotating stratified fluid which is transported by the velocity field. The velocity field is connected to the temperature via Riesz-transform, which are singular integral operators. It has applications in both meteorological and oceanic flows, while in mathematics it is often used as a toy model for the 3D Euler equations due to some structural similarities of these equations. We give a brief overview on versions of the SQG equation and of the known mathematical results. For a modified version (mSQG) with a smoother velocity field, which links the SQG equation to the vorticity formulation of the 2D Euler equations, we will show that by using a special symmetry in the kernel a white noise solution to mSQG can be constructed. Finally, we give some comments on the difficulties of our approach in the case of SQG itself. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Buongiorno Lunedì 1 aprile, ore 10:30-13:00, aula B, Dipartimento di Matematica La Sapienza ci sara' il primo incontro del corso di dottorato di Fabio Toninelli (in cui verra' anche stabilito l'orario definitivo). Il corso si svolgerà durante il mese di aprile. sotto trovate dettagli del corso. saluti alessandra faggionato %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Fabio Toninelli (University Lyon 1) The dimer model: equilibrium and non-equilibrium aspects Abstract. This course focuses on various mathematical aspects of lattice dimer models. These are very classical two-dimensional statistical mechanics models, that are exactly solvable in some sense (Kasteleyn, 1961): partition function and correlations can be computed in determinantal form. Recently there has been a new wave of interest in dimer models, both in probability, combinatorics and mathematical physics. One reason is that these models, as well as other two-dimensional critical models, exhibit conformal invariance properties. Another interesting aspect is that they allow to obtain very nice Markov dynamics of two-dimensional interfaces, whose large-scale dynamical behavior can be studied. Detailed contents: • Kasteleyn theory (partition functions, correlations, determinantal properties) • correlations and representation determinantale • thermodynamic limit and ergodic Gibbs measures • height fluctuations and massless Gaussian field • dynamics of dimer models: mixing time and hydrodynamic limits.

Seminar announcement

22 Mar '19

Thursday, 28 March, 12:00 Room 204 Luiss Viale Romania, 32 00197 Roma Paul Dütting, London School of Economics and Political Science Prophet inequalities for independent random variables from an unknown distribution Abstract: A central object in optimal stopping theory is the single-choice prophet inequality for independent, identically distributed random variables: Given a sequence of random variables X_1,…,X_n drawn independently from a distribution F, the goal is to choose a stopping time τ so as to maximize α such that for all distributions F we have E[X_τ] ≥ α⋅E[max_t X_t]. What makes this problem challenging is that the decision whether τ = t may only depend on the values of the random variables X_1,…,X_t and on the distribution F. For quite some time the best known bound for the problem was α ≥ 1−1/e ≈ 0.632 [Hill and Kertz, 1982]. Only recently this bound was improved by Abolhassani et al. [2017], and a tight bound of α ≈ 0.745 was obtained by Correa et al. [2017]. The case where F is unknown, such that the decision whether τ = t may depend only on the values of the first t random variables but not on F, is equally well motivated (e.g., [Azar et al., 2014]) but has received much less attention. A straightforward guarantee for this case of α ≥ 1/e ≈ 0.368 can be derived from the solution to the secretary problem. Our main result is that this bound is tight. Motivated by this impossibility result we investigate the case where the stopping time may additionally depend on a limited number of samples from F. An extension of our main result shows that even with o(n) samples α ≤ 1/e, so that the interesting case is the one with Ω(n) samples. Here we show that n samples allow for a significant improvement over the secretary problem, while O(n^2) samples are equivalent to knowledge of the distribution: specifically, with n samples α ≥ 1−1/e ≈ 0.632 and α ≤ ln(2) ≈ 0.693, and with O(n^2) samples α ≥ 0.745−ε for any ε > 0.

de Finetti risk seminar
by Emanuela Rosazza 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Gentile Prof. Cambini, Le sarei grata se potesse inoltrare il seguente avviso di messaggio. La ringrazio anticipatamente e saluto cordialmente, Emanuela --- On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture A mathematical model of learning reward uncertainty in the brain Rafal Bogacz Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford Abstract: To maximise their chances for survival, humans and animals need to base their decisions not only on the average consequences of chosen actions, but also on the variability of the rewards resulting from these actions. For example, when ones food reserves are depleted, one should prefer to forage in an area where food is guaranteed, rather than an area where the amount of food is higher on average but variable, thus avoiding the risk of starvation. To implement such policies, the brain needs to be able to learn about variability of rewards resulting from taking different actions. This talk will present a simple mathematical model describing how such learning may be implemented in the brain. The models suggests how the information about reward uncertainty is used by the brain to make decisions that not only maximize expected rewards but also take risks into account. The models is consistent with a wide range of experimental data from neuroscience. The talk will also include a discussion of the relationship between the model and the probability weighting functions from the prospect theory. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 27, at 15.00 at room 3-E4-SR03, Bocconi University, Via Rontgen 1, 3rd floor, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 14.45.

Seminario di Paolo Di Tella a Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday, April 5th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata, in the framework of the activities supported by the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006. Speaker: Paolo Di Tella Title: On The Weak Representation Property in Progressively Enlarged Filtrations with an Application in Exponential Utility Maximization Abstract: In this talk we show that the weak representation property of a semimartingale $X$ with respect to a filtration $\mathbb{F}$ is preserved in the progressive enlargement $\mathbb{G}$ by a random time $\tau$ avoiding $\mathbb{F}$-stopping times and such that $\mathbb{F}$ is immersed in $\mathbb{G}$. As an application of this, we can solve an exponential utility maximization problem in the enlarged filtration $\mathbb{G}$ following the dynamical approach, based on suitable BSDEs, both over the fixed-time horizon $[0,T]$, $T>0$, and over the random-time horizon $[0,T\wedge\tau]$.

Workshop on Random Dynamical Systems and Anomalous Dynamics, Londra 20-22 Marzo 2019
by Enrico Scalas 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Car* collegh*, se siete a Londra dal 20 al 22 marzo, vi puo' interessare questo workshop che si terra' all'Imperial College organizzato da Yuzuru Sato, Rainer Klages e Jeroen Lamb: http://lml.org.uk/event/workshop-on-random-dynamical-systems-and-anomalous-… Workshop aim: This workshop brings together theoretical physicists and mathematicians working on dynamical systems and stochastic processes. An emphasis is on the recent active fields of random dynamical systems and anomalous stochastic dynamics. The former refers to chaotic dynamical systems that are coupled to noise. This combination can create novel phenomena such as anomalous diffusion, stochastic bifurcations, and varieties of noise-induced phenomena. To describe them requires a new mathematical language defining objects such as random attractors, perturbed invariant measures, bifurcations, and rare event statistics. Anomalous dynamics denotes processes whose mean square displacement, unlike that of Brownian motion, grows non-linearly in time. They exhibit non-trivial properties related to non-Gaussian probability distributions, such as power-law decay of correlations, sub- or super-diffusion and ergodicity breaking. However, the emergence of such phenomena from deterministic dynamics is poorly understood. By bridging the gap between the dynamical systems and applied stochastic processes communities we aim to advance this understanding. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas

Seminario di Stefano Pagliarani a Pisa
by Dario Trevisan 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Cari colleghi, annuncio il seguente seminario che si terrà lunedì 25 marzo, alle 14:00, nella Sala Seminari presso il dipartimento di Matematica dell'università degli studi di Pisa. Dear colleagues, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Monday, 25 March 2019, at 2 PM, in Sala Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa. #### Speaker: Stefano Pagliarani (Università degli studi di Udine) Title: Contraction methods for a class of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. Abstract: We consider two prototype classes of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. In the first case, the coefficient is assumed to be affine in the state-variable, only measurable in the law, and the dynamics allow for Lévy jumps. We study the equivalent functional fixed-point equation for the unknown time-dependent coefficients of the associated Markovian SDE. By proving a contraction property for the functional map in a suitable normed space, we infer existence and uniqueness results for the MK-V SDE, and derive a discretized Picard iteration method that approximates the law of the solution. Numerical illustrations show the effectiveness of the method, which appears to be appropriate to handle multi-dimensional settings. We finally describe possible extensions and generalizations to more general settings. The second class of MKV SDEs that we consider allows for self-exicitng jumps, which amounts to having jumps through hitting the boundary in the equivalent large particle system. The corresponding PDE problem is a particular instance of free-boundary problems known as supercooled Stefan-like problems. We write a Volterra equation for the free boundary and prove contraction results that are useful to determine the properties of the solution and to provide convergent numerical schemes. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Seminario di Pietro Rigo a Bologna
by Massimo Campanino 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Il giorno venerdì 22 marzo alle ore 14:30 nell'Aula Seminario 2 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, piazza Porta S. Donato 5, il prof. Pietro Rigo del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pavia terrà un seminario dal titolo: On the existence of continuous processes with given one-dimensional distribution Abstract: Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the collection of Borel probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$, equipped with the weak* topology, and let $\mu:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathcal{P}$ be a continuous map. Say that $\mu$ is presentable if $X_t\sim\mu_t$, $t\in [0,1]$, for some real process $X$ with continuous paths. It may be that $\mu$ fails to be presentable. Conditions for presentability are given in this note. For instance, $\mu$ is presentable if $\mu_t$ is supported by an interval for all but countably many $t$. In addition, assuming $\mu$ presentable, we investigate whether there is a continuous process $X$ with the same finite dimensional distributions as the quantile process $Q$ induced by $\mu$. The latter is defined, on the probability space $((0,1),\mathcal{B}(0,1),\,$Lebesgue measure$)$, by \begin{gather*} Q_t(\alpha)=\inf\,\bigl\{x\in\mathbb{R}:\mu_t(-\infty,x]\ge\alpha\bigl\}\quad\quad\text{for all }t\in [0,1]\text{ and }\alpha\in (0,1). \end{gather*} Various open problems are stated as well.

Seminario di Paolo Dai Pra a Bologna
by Massimo Campanino 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Il giorno venerdì 22 marzo alle ore 12 nell'Aula Seminario 2 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, piazza Porta S. Donato 5, il prof. Paolo Dai Pra del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Padova terrà un seminario dal titolo: Thermodynamic limit and phase transitions in non-cooperative games: some mean-ﬁeld examples Abstract: In stochastic dynamics inspired by Statistical Mechanics the interaction between diﬀerent particles, or agents, is usually expressed as a given function of their states. The behavior of the system, in the limit of inﬁnitely many particles (thermodynamic limit), may change dramatically by small changes in the parameters of the model: when this occurs we say there is a phase transition. In many applications the interaction cannot be given a priori but it is rather a result of agents’ strategy, aimed at optimizing a given performance. Using the simplest models of this nature, mean ﬁeld games, we illustrate some examples of phase transitions, pointing to diﬃculties in the proof of the thermodynamic limit.
