Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Lucas Benigni (Università di Montreal) e Giorgio Cipolloni (Università di Roma 2 Tor Vergata) TITOLO: The mystery of universality in Random Matrix Theory. RIASSUNTO: Over the past fifteen years, our understanding of universality in random matrix theory has undergone a remarkable transformation. For many models of large random matrices, it is now known that both eigenvalue statistics and eigenvector structures exhibit universal behavior that depends only on the symmetry class and not on the fine details of the matrix entries. This universality lies at the heart of deep conjectures in mathematical physics—connecting topics as diverse as quantum chaos, number theory, and high-dimensional statistics—and has become one of the major success stories of modern probability theory. In this two-part colloquium, we will survey these advances with a focus on Wigner matrices, Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with i.i.d. entries up to the symmetry constraint. The first part will discuss universality of eigenvalues, from local spectral laws to modern proofs of universality of local statistics. The second part will turn to eigenvectors, highlighting recent progress on delocalization, quantum ergodicity, and eigenvector statistics.

Under this scenario we do not have access to pairs of observations from the distribution of $(X, Y)$, but instead we have separate data sets $\{Y_i\}_{i=1}^n$ and $\{X_j\}_{j=1}^m$, possibly collected from different sources. We study this problem assuming that the regression function is linear and the noise distribution is known or can be estimated. We introduce an estimator of the regression vector based on deconvolution (the DLSE) and demonstrate its consistency and asymptotic normality under an identifiability assumption. Under non-identifiability of the regression vector but identifiability of the distribution of the predictor, we construct an estimator of the latter based on the DLSE and show that it converges to the true distribution of the predictor at the parametric rate in the Wasserstein distance of order 1. We illustrate the theory with several simulation results. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 05/11/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Maria Kalli and Jim Griffin Seminars at Ca' Foscari University of Venice - 3 November 2025
by Roberto CASARIN 31 Oct '25

31 Oct '25

Dear Colleagues, I'm pleased to invite you to the Department Seminars, which will be held on Monday, November 3 at 11:00 in Meeting Room 1 with the following schedule: - 11:00-12:00: *Maria Kalli *(*King's College London*), Network Modeling of Asynchronous Change-Points in Multivariate Time Series - 12.15- 13.15: *Jim Griffin* (*University College London*), Some approaches to modelling high-dimensional multivariate time series All the interested researchers are warmly invited to attend in person or online! Best regards Roberto Casarin (and on behalf of the Organizing Committee) More information and Zoom link are available here: https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/1/104528 https://unive.zoom.us/j/81247640154?pwd=rPM81OcUZRb5VIW4NSHwOPLurD01le.1 *Title*: Network Modeling of Asynchronous Change-Points in Multivariate Time Series *Abstract *: We introduce a novel Bayesian method for asynchronous change-point detection in multivariate time series. This method allows for change-points to occur earlier in some (leading) series followed, after a short delay, by change-points in some other (lagging) series. Such dynamic dependence structure is common in fields such as seismology and neurology where a latent event such as an earthquake or seizure causes certain sensors to register change-points before others. We model these lead-lag dependencies via a latent directed graph and provide a hierarchical prior for learning the graph’s structure and parameters. Posterior inference is made tractable by modifying particle MCMC methods designed for univariate change-point problems. We apply our method to both simulated and real datasets from the fields of seismology and neurology. In the simulated data, we find that our method outperforms competing methods in settings where the change-point locations are dependent across series. In the real data applications we show that our model can also uncover an interpretable network structure. *Title*: Some approaches to modelling high-dimensional multivariate time series *Abstract*: There has been an increasing interest in modelling high-dimensional multivariate economic time series. Many models build on the work-horse Vector AutoRegression (VAR) and its time-varying extension to TVP-VAR. These models can provide better forecasts and structural analysis than low-dimensional models (particularly during crisis periods) but the large number of parameters can be challenging both inferentially and computationally. In this talk, I will review two recent approaches. The first is the Tensor VAR (TVAR) model which uses a tensor structure to achieve dimension reduction in the coefficient matrices of the VAR. I will discuss Bayesian inference in these models and an extension to a time-varying parameter model. The second approach considers the time-varying Factor Augmented VAR (FA-VAR) and uses an autoencoder to extract low-dimensional non-linear factors from high-dimensional data. I will discuss how a shrinkage prior using groupings of the variables can lead to identifiable factors and better predictive performance. -- Roberto Casarin, PhD Professor of Econometrics Ca' Foscari University of Venice San Giobbe 873/b - 30121 Venezia, Italy http://sites.google.com/view/robertocasarin/ https://www.unive.it/vera <https://www.unive.it/isba2024> https://www.unive.it/isba2024

Seminario Kais Ammari - Politecnico di Milano - 3 Novembre 2025

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Lunedì 3 Novembre 2025, ore 14:30. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Kais Ammari, University of Monastir. Title: Degenerate Damping in Interacting Elastic Systems. Abstract: We study the regularity and stability of coupled elastic systems subject to distinct damping mechanisms: one acting through the average velocity and another via a fractional power of the elastic operator. The damping matrix is degenerate, meaning that dissipation does not affect all components equally. Using a frequency-domain approach based on resolvent estimates, we describe how this degeneracy influences the semigroup regularity and the decay of solutions. The obtained results are shown to be optimal and relevant for applications in structural mechanics and vibration control.

Nov 6 - Stats seminars Kopp @ Sapienza MEMOTEF
by Francesca Panero 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Carissimi tutti, On Thursday 6th of November at the MEMOTEF Department, Sapienza University, we will have the pleasure to listen to the seminar of Emma Kopp<https://emmakopp1.github.io>, PhD student from CERMADE Paris-Dauphine University, with title Recent work on phylogenetics applied to historical linguistic and cultural evolution. The seminar will take place 9-10am in Aula Cristina Di Fresco (4th floor of the Economics building, administration corridor, Via del Castro Laurenziano 9 Roma). You can find the abstract below. Best wishes, Francesca Recent work on phylogenetics applied to historical linguistic and cultural evolution Linguistic phylogenies reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between languages based on cognate data (presence/absence of shared linguistic traits). We use theoretical bounds derived from Mossel's work to determine the temporal limit to which phylogenetic methods can reliably reconstruct linguistic tree topology or ancestral states. The study combines simulation of synthetic data on trees to assess reconstruction accuracy as a function of tree age and number of cognates, and ancestral state reconstruction on real lexical data from Sino-Tibetan and Bantu language families. The study methodologically demonstrates that for languages evolving at rates typically observed in the literature, it is impossible to reconstruct the topology of a tree whose root age exceeds 12,000 years. Beyond this threshold, the inferred topology will be no more reliable than a random estimate. Analysis shows that increasing the number of traits improves reconstruction for ancient trees, but gains remain limited. Ancestral state reconstruction results show that certain semantic categories (body parts, numerical concepts and natural elements) can be reconstructed at remarkable temporal depths. This convergence in the retention of essential concepts suggests the existence of universal constraints in lexical evolution. These results establish for the first time a theoretical quantitative bound on phylolinguistic methods, demonstrating that reconstruction of deep topologies of ancient linguistic families based on cognate lexical data constitutes a doomed enterprise. ------------------------------------------- Dr Francesca Panero (she/her) Assistant Professor in Statistics (RTT), Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance Sapienza University, Rome Visiting Fellow, Department of Statistics London School of Economics and Political Science Visiting Lecturer, Faculty of Informatics Università della Svizzera Italiana Website: https://francescapanero.github.io

Seminars of Tiozzo, Klippel, Jara and D'Alimonte at La Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Dear all, In addition to the already announced seminar by Tiozzo today (*Harmonic functions on groups, random walks, and the identification of the Poisson boundary*), we will have three seminars in Probability at the Department of Mathematics of Sapienza University in the coming weeks. The speakers will be Andreas Klippel (TU Darmstadt), Milton Jara (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro), and Lucas D’Alimonte (LPSM – Sorbonne Université). Below you can find the titles and abstracts. Buona giornata Alessandra ************************************************** *Monday, November 3 2025* *16:15, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica* *Speaker: *Andreas Klippel (TU Darmstadt) *Title*: Two Sides of One Coin: Approaches to the Random Loop Model *Abstract: *In the last decades, graphical representations have emerged as powerful tools to study models from statistical physics. One prominent example is the random loop model, whose two-point function encodes various spin correlations of quantum systems such as the Heisenberg ferromagnet, the antiferromagnet, and the quantum XY model. Since the model lacks monotonicity properties and correlation inequalities such as FKG, alternative techniques have been developed to analyze it. We will discuss two complementary approaches suitable for different regimes. The first concerns the absence of long loops, corresponding to the regime without a phase transition. This situation can be studied by comparing the model to a percolation process and showing that certain structural features effectively reduce the percolation parameter, leading to exponentially small loops. The second approach addresses the occurrence of a phase transition, which is typically established through the method of reflection positivity. The presentation will provide an introduction to the random loop model, outline these two analytical techniques, and present several results illustrating their application. ********************************************************************* *Monday, November 10 2025* *16:15, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica* *Speaker: *Milton Jara (Impa, Rio de Janeiro) *Title*: Quantitative Hydrodynamics for a generalized contact model *Abstract: *We use the formalism of Quantitative Hydrodynamics to improve the quantitative hydrodynamic limit obtained in Chariker, De Masi, Lebowitz and Presutti (2023) for an interacting particle system inspired by integrate-and-fire neuron models. Our estimates are good enough to show that the typical fluctuations around the aforementioned hydrodynamic limit are Gaussian, and governed by an inhomogeneous stochastic linear equation. Joint work with Julian Amorim (IMPA) and Yangrui Xiang (Louisiana State University) *********************************************************************** *Monday, November 17 2025* *16:15, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica* *Speaker: *Lucas D’Alimonte (LPSM - Sorbonne Université) *Title:* Ornstein—Zernike theory for the near-critical planar random cluster model *Abstract:* In this talk, we will discuss the classical Ornstein-Zernike theory for the random-cluster model (also known as FK percolation). In its modern form, it is a very robust theory, which most celebrated output is the computation of the asymptotically polynomial corrections to the pure exponential decay of the two-points correlation function of the random-cluster model in the subcritical regime. We will present an ongoing project that extends this theory to the near-critical regime of the two-dimensional random-cluster model, thus providing a precise understanding of the Ornstein-Zernike asymptotics when p approaches the critical parameter p_c. The output of this work is a formula encompassing both the critical behaviour of the system when looked at a scale negligible with respect to its correlation length, and its subcritical behaviour when looked at a scale way larger than its correlation length.

A spooky week in Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Dear all, Next week RoMaDS <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php> will host a spooky lineup of seminars at the Mathematics Department of Tor Vergata University. Here is the program (for the abstract, see below): 03.11 Giorgio Cipolloni (Tor Vergata) "Logarithmically correlated fields from large random matrices" 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo 05.11 Milton Jara (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro) "NESS for KPZ" 16h00 in Aula D'Antoni 07.11 Maurice Duits (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) "Integrable Structures Behind the Aztec Diamond" 14h00 in Aula D'Antoni We encourage in-person participation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming of all of the seminars: Spooky seminars | Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams <https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3740857632924?p=3G7X9MF2NwcSKIQczz> Best, Michele Abstracts Giorgio Cipolloni (Tor Vergata) "Logarithmically correlated fields from large random matrices” We study the Brownian evolution of large non-Hermitian matrices and show that their log-determinant converges to a 2+1 dimensional Gaussian field in the Edwards-Wilkinson regularity class, i.e. logarithmically correlated for the parabolic distance. This gives a dynamical extension of the celebrated result by Rider and Virag (2006) proving that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of Gaussian non-Hermitian matrices converge to the Gaussian Free Field. Milton Jara (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro) "NESS for KPZ" We show that the fluctuations of the density of boundary driven, weakly asymmetric systems are described by energy solutions of the KPZ equation with corresponding boundary conditions. Conditioned on the uniqueness of these energy solutions, we show that the non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS) of these systems are described by the invariant measures of KPZ introduced by Barraquand, Bryc, Corwin, Knizel among others. Joint work with Juan Arroyave (IMPA). Maurice Duits (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) "Integrable Structures Behind the Aztec Diamond" The Aztec diamond, under the uniform measure on domino tilings, is one of the classic examples of an exactly solvable model in probability and statistical mechanics. Its rich geometric features—such as limit shapes and arctic boundaries—have long made it a cornerstone of integrable probability. More recently, variants of this model with doubly periodic weights have revealed that much of the underlying structure persists far beyond the uniform case and can be used to uncover new behaviors—such as regions with smooth disorder—that were previously out of reach. At the heart of these models lies a birational map that encodes their integrable character. In this talk, I will describe how this map unifies different regimes of the Aztec diamond—from uniform and periodic settings to models in random environments. I will also discuss how integrable features survive (sometimes unexpectedly) in the presence of disorder, and how they connect to other probabilistic models such as directed polymers. The presentation is aimed at a broad mathematical audience, and no prior background in tilings or integrable systems will be assumed.

Carissimi di seguito trovate l'avviso del seminario: -- AVVISO DI SEMINARIO   Giovedì 30 ottobre, alle ore 12:30, in aula G del Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica dell'Università della Campania Luigi Vamvitelli, in Viale Lincoln 5, Caserta, Kei Kobayashi Professor of Mathematics, Department of Mathematics, Fordham University, New York, USA, terrà un seminario dal titolo Parameter estimation for one-sided heavy-tailed distributions Abstract: Stable subordinators have been widely used in the context of subdiffusions, where particles get trapped or immobile in a number of time periods, called constant periods. The lengths of the constant periods follow a one-sided stable distribution whose first moment does not exist. In this talk, we construct an estimator for the stability index, applying the method of moments to the number of observed constant periods in a fixed time interval. The resulting estimator is asymptotically unbiased and consistent, and it is well-suited for situations where multiple observations of the same subdiffusion process are available. We present supporting numerical examples and an application to market price data for a low-volume stock. This is joint work with Phillip Kerger. -- Questo è il link da remoto: Seminario di Kei Kobayashi | Partecipazione alla riunione | Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3305423649328?p=buYuVJgBIf5KihIoRS> Cari saluti Enrica Pirozzi

Buongiorno, vi segnalo il seminario di Giulio Tiozzo organizzato dal gruppo di Algebra e Geometria per questo Mercoledi' (sotto i dettagli) Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% *Mercoledì 29 ottobre 2025* Ore 14:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma Seminario di Algebra e Geometria Giulio Tiozzo (Sapienza Università di Roma) *Harmonic functions on groups, random walks, and the identification of the Poisson boundary* The Poisson boundary is a measure-theoretic object attached to a group equipped with a probability measure, and is closely related to the notion of harmonic function on the group. In many cases, the group is also endowed with a topological boundary arising from its geometric structure, and a recurring research theme is to identify the Poisson boundary with the topological boundary. For instance, for lattices in hyperbolic space, it is natural to ask if the (visual, or Gromov-)boundary of the hyperbolic space is a model for the Poisson boundary. In this talk, we solve the identification problem for the Poisson boundary of a random walk with finite entropy on a hyperbolic group and on a discrete subgroup of a semisimple Lie group. The main technical novelty is that we do not require any moment assumption on the measure. Joint with K. Chawla, B. Forghani, and J.

Reminder: OWABI talk - F-X Briol - October 30 - 11am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 27 Oct '25

27 Oct '25

Dear all, a kind reminder that the next One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…> is scheduled on Thursday the 30th October at 11 am UK time. The 1st OWABI talk of the Season will be given by François-Xavier Briol<https://fxbriol.github.io/> (University College London). who will talk about "Multilevel neural simulation-based inference<https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.06087>" , with an abstract reported below. Abstract: Neural simulation-based inference (SBI) is a popular set of methods for Bayesian inference when models are only available in the form of a simulator. These methods are widely used in the sciences and engineering, where writing down a likelihood can be significantly more challenging than constructing a simulator. However, the performance of neural SBI can suffer when simulators are computationally expensive, thereby limiting the number of simulations that can be performed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to neural SBI which leverages multilevel Monte Carlo techniques for settings where several simulators of varying cost and fidelity are available. We demonstrate through both theoretical analysis and extensive experiments that our method can significantly enhance the accuracy of SBI methods given a fixed computational budget. Keywords: Multifidelity, neural SBI, multi-level Monte Carlo The talk will be streamed on MS Teams: Join the meeting now<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh…> Meeting ID: 358 173 458 006 0 Passcode: Vp2975vC We are looking forward to seeing you all, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

SPASS Seminar: Maike de Jongh - TUE 28.10 at 16:00
by Gianmarco Bet 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Controlling the zero-temperature Ising model using Markov decision theory* by Maike de Jongh (Twente University) The seminar will take place in person on *TUE, 28.10.2025 at 16:00* in Room 207, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science "Ulisse Dini", University of Florence and streamed online here: https://meet.google.com/hmw-uhcm-knw On behalf of the organizers, Gianmarco Bet -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *The behavior of the Ising model under external control mechanisms is of interest in a wide variety of applications, including biological systems, social dynamics, and information processing. In this talk, we investigate control strategies for a zero-temperature two-dimensional Ising model on a finite square lattice evolving under Metropolis dynamics. Specifically, we consider a situation in which an external controller aims to drive the system from a configuration with a small droplet of +-spins towards the all-plus configuration by flipping spins at specific sites at predetermined moments in time. In order to analyze this control problem, we formulate it as a Markov decision process (MDP), a well-established framework for sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty. To find an optimal policy in this MDP, we construct a simplified model by means of a reduction of the configuration space to the local minima of the Hamiltonian. Leveraging the convenient form of this simplified model, we uncover the structure of the optimal policy by solving the Bellman equations in a recursive manner. Finally, we present simulation results illustrating the performance of this optimal policy in the original control problem at low temperatures. *

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Martedì 28 Ottobre 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Anna Donadini, Università di Milano-Bicocca. Title: Directed polymer in space-correlated disorder. Abstract: Directed polymers in random environments describe a perturbation of the simple random walk by a random disorder (environment). The partition function of such models has been extensively studied in recent years, also due to its connection with the solution of the Stochastic Heat Equation. While classical results focus on space-time independent disorder, we investigate the case of a Gaussian environment with (critically) space-correlated disorder. We show that, similarly to the independent case, a phase transition occurs: when the disorder strength is below a critical threshold, the log-partition function satisfies a central limit theorem; above this threshold, it converges to zero in distribution. Remarkably, the appropriate scaling constant for the disorder, as well as the correct limiting variance, emerge from a non-trivial induction scheme that reflects the critical nature of the correlation.

Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Lucas Benigni (Università di Montreal) e Giorgio Cipolloni (Università di Roma 2 Tor Vergata) TITOLO: The mystery of universality in Random Matrix Theory. RIASSUNTO: Over the past fifteen years, our understanding of universality in random matrix theory has undergone a remarkable transformation. For many models of large random matrices, it is now known that both eigenvalue statistics and eigenvector structures exhibit universal behavior that depends only on the symmetry class and not on the fine details of the matrix entries. This universality lies at the heart of deep conjectures in mathematical physics—connecting topics as diverse as quantum chaos, number theory, and high-dimensional statistics—and has become one of the major success stories of modern probability theory. In this two-part colloquium, we will survey these advances with a focus on Wigner matrices, Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with i.i.d. entries up to the symmetry constraint. The first part will discuss universality of eigenvalues, from local spectral laws to modern proofs of universality of local statistics. The second part will turn to eigenvectors, highlighting recent progress on delocalization, quantum ergodicity, and eigenvector statistics.

Dear colleagues, unfortunately, the QFinLab seminar at Politecnico di Milano (see the original announcement below), scheduled for tomorrow, 23 October, is cancelled. Best regards, Alessandro Calvia *** Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Thursday, 23 October 2025, 14.30-15.30 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano<https://www.google.com/maps/search/Via+Bonardi+9,+Milano?entry=gmail&source…> (Leonardo Campus) Riccardo Brignone (Università di Pavia) Title: Pricing path-dependent options under stochastic volatility models with full error control. Abstract: In this paper, we propose a unified methodology for pricing general path-dependent derivatives (e.g., Asian and Barrier options) that is based on the Monte Carlo-Conditional Fourier-cosine method and works for a broad class of stochastic volatility models. The main benefit of the proposed approach over existing literature consists in a simple and effective control of the error. A practitioner simply needs to provide the pricing algorithm with two parameters: i) a probability, q; ii) an error tolerance epsilon. Then, our proposed algorithm provides a price approximation that differs by no more than epsilon from the true unknown option price with probability at least equal to q. We provide an explicit link between the variance of the Monte Carlo simulation estimator of the option price, the error tolerance, and the number of simulations. In this way, the pricing methodology becomes extremely efficient when combined with effective variance reduction techniques that drastically reduce the number of simulations (and, consequently, the computing time) required to obtain an arbitrarily accurate price estimate.

Fabio Martinelli - Tè di Matematica a Roma Tre 29 ottobre 2025
by Pietro Caputo 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Nell'ambito dei Tè di Matematica, per celebrare il pensionamento di Elisabetta Scoppola, mercoledì *29 ottobre* alle *ore 16:00*, Fabio Martinelli terrà un seminario dal titolo *"An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Anderson Localization"*. Abstract: In 1958, the physicist P. W. Anderson published the paper "Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices," which contributed to winning him the Nobel Prize in 1977 for the discovery of the phenomenon now known as "Anderson localization." In the simplest case, Anderson localization states that a Schroedinger operator with a random potential on, e.g., a d-dimensional lattice has a pure-point spectrum with exponentially localized eigenstates if the randomness of the potential is sufficiently strong. In his Nobel lecture Anderson said "...*Localization was a different matter: very few believed it at the time, and even fewer saw its importance; among those who failed to fully understand it at first was certainly its author. It has yet to receive adequate mathematical treatment, and one has to resort to the indignity of numerical simulations to settle even the simplest questions about it." *Proving Anderson localization was one of the great problems in mathematical physics in the early 1980s, and E. Scoppola greatly contributed to its solution in the hard case d > 1. On the occasion of her retirement, I will provide a brief overview of the Anderson model and eigenfunction localization, as well as some of the more recent developments. If time allows, I will also try to describe how the basic multiscale analysis underlying the proof of Anderson localization can be applied to other, quite different, contexts. Il seminario si svolgerà in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica dell'Università di Roma Tre, Lungotevere Dante 476, *aula M1*.

OWABI Season 7: Kick-off October 30 - FX Briol
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 16 Oct '25

16 Oct '25

Dear all, welcome back after the summer/winter break! A new season of the One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…> is about to start. The 1st OWABI talk of the Season will be given by François-Xavier Briol<https://fxbriol.github.io/> (University College London). who will talk about "Multilevel neural simulation-based inference<https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.06087>" on Thursday the 30th October at 11am UK time. We are pleased to announce that FX Briol has also joined the OWABI Organiser Team. Abstract: Neural simulation-based inference (SBI) is a popular set of methods for Bayesian inference when models are only available in the form of a simulator. These methods are widely used in the sciences and engineering, where writing down a likelihood can be significantly more challenging than constructing a simulator. However, the performance of neural SBI can suffer when simulators are computationally expensive, thereby limiting the number of simulations that can be performed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to neural SBI which leverages multilevel Monte Carlo techniques for settings where several simulators of varying cost and fidelity are available. We demonstrate through both theoretical analysis and extensive experiments that our method can significantly enhance the accuracy of SBI methods given a fixed computational budget. Keywords: Multifidelity, neural SBI, multi-level Monte Carlo The talk will be streamed on MS Teams: Join the meeting now<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh…> Meeting ID: 358 173 458 006 0 Passcode: Vp2975vC We are looking forward to seeing you all, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Restoration of uniqueness by transport noise for stochastic 2D Boussinesq equations* by Shuaijie Jiao (University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing) The seminar will take place in person on *TUE, 14.10.2025 at 14:00* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here: Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82898233779?pwd=UwaJHrvAnbmj8TuuebRdW4DbqJy1zT.1 Meeting ID: 828 9823 3779 Passcode: 896251 Join instructions https://us06web.zoom.us/meetings/82898233779/invitations?signature=Ma1Od8oq… The organizers, G. Bet, F. Butori, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, F. Triggiano, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *We investigate the inviscid 2D Boussinesq equations driven by rough transport noise of Kraichnan type with regularity index $\alpha\in (0,1/2)$. For all $1<p<\infty$, we establish the existence and uniqueness of probabilistic strong solutions for all $L^p$ initial vorticity and $L^2$ initial temperature, under the parameter constraint $0<\alpha< 1-1/(p\wedge 2)$. Based on the noise-induced anomalous regularity established by Coghi and Maurelli, we show that the stochastic Boussinesq system is stable with respect to the initial data, which not only implies the pathwise uniqueness but also enables us to directly prove the existence of probabilistically strong solutions without resorting to the compactness method. * *The talk is based on joint work with Dejun Luo.*

Christian Franq seminar, Ca' Foscari University, 13 October
by Roberto CASARIN 09 Oct '25

09 Oct '25

Dear Colleagues Professor *Christian Franq* (University of Lille - CREST-ENSAE) will give the seminar: *Penalized QMLE and model selection of time series regressions* *Monday, October 13, at 12:15 in Meeting Room 1* *Department of Economics, San Giobbe Campus* *Ca' Foscari University of Venice* It will also be possible to attend on Zoom here: https://unive.zoom.us/j/89661175677?pwd=mAtZP4LXqk5DwT5pNHkhJUemn7Sayq.1 All interested people are warmly invited to attend! rc Abstract: We examine a linear regression model applied to the components of a time series, aiming to identify time-varying, constant as well as zero conditional beta coefficients. To address the non-identifiability of parameters when a conditional beta is constant, we employ a lasso-type estimator. This penalized estimator simplifies the model by shrinking the estimates in favor of natural constant beta representations. Given that the model accommodates conditional heteroskedasticity and the relevant regressors are unknown, the total number of parameters to estimate can be quite large. To manage this complexity, we propose a multistep estimator that first captures the dynamics of the regressors before estimating the dynamics of the betas. This strategy breaks down a high-dimensional optimization problem into several lower-dimensional ones. Since we avoid making strict parametric assumptions about the innovation distributions, we use Quasi-Maximum Likelihood (QML) estimators. The non-Markovian nature of the global model means that standard convex optimization results cannot be applied. Nevertheless, we analyze the asymptotic distribution of the multistep lasso estimator and its adaptive version, deriving bounds on the maximum value of the penalty term. We also propose a nonlinear coordinate-wise descent algorithm, which is demonstrated to find stationary points of the objective function. The finite-sample properties of these estimators are further explored through a Monte Carlo simulation and illustrated with an application to financial data. Bio: Christian Francq is a distinguished econometrician and Professor of Statistics at the University of Lille, France. His research focuses on time series analysis, financial econometrics, and GARCH models, with a particular emphasis on theoretical and applied aspects of volatility modeling. He has made significant contributions to the development of nonlinear time series models, asymmetry in volatility, and inference for financial data. His research has been published in top-tier journals, and he continues to shape the field through both his academic work and collaborations.

CHANGE OF TIME AND LOCATION: De Finetti seminar: Walter Schachermayer, Oct. 13, 2025
by Alessandro Doldi 08 Oct '25

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture on October 13, 2025 at 15:30: Walter Schachermayer, University of Vienna NEW TIME AND LOCATION: Aula C04 Colombo-M (Entrance from Via Mangiagalli 25, Università degli Studi di Milano), h. 15:30 Title: Lacunary/Hereditary Limit Theorems in Probability and Analysis Abstract: J. Komlos proved in 1967 an extremely useful theorem. For any bounded sequence (f_n) in L^1 there is a subsequence n_k and a limiting function f such that f_{n_k} converges to f almost surely in Cesaro mean. The convergence not only holds for the subsequence f_{n_k}, but also for each of its sub-subsequences. This important result may be seen as an extension of the strong law of large numbers, pertaining to arbitrarily dependent sequences of random variables. We analyze also other lacunary/hereditary versions of classical variants of the law of large numbers. Special attention will be given to the law of large numbers of Hsu-Robbins-Erdös from 1947/49. We show that it is indispensable for the proof of a lacunary/hereditary version of this theorem to use approximations by exchangeable sequences of random variables (as opposed to martingale differences). This yields the first example verifying a conjecture by D. Aldous from 1977. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ.

Seminar Federico Bassetti at Tor Vergata (Department of Mathematics) October 6, at 14h00
by Claudio Macci 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

Dear all, On Monday, October 6, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Federico Bassetti (Politecnico di Milano) with the seminar "Scaling Limits of Bayesian Neural Networks: Gaussian Processes and Mixtures” Abstract: In large neural networks, key theoretical insights emerge in the infinite-width limit, where the number of neurons per layer grows while depth stays fixed. In this regime, networks with Gaussian-initialized weights define a mixture of Gaussian processes with random covariance, which converges in the infinite-width limit to a pure Gaussian process with deterministic covariance. However, this Gaussian limit sacrifices descriptive power, as it lacks the ability to learn dependent features and produce output correlations that reflect observed labels. Motivated by these limitations, we explore deep linear networks in the proportional limit, where both depth and width diverge at a fixed ratio. In this setting, the network converges to a nontrivial Gaussian mixture, both at the prior and posterior level. This structure allows the network to capture dependencies in the outputs—an ability lost in the infinite-width limit but retained in finite networks. Our contribution extends previous works by explicitly characterizing, for linear activation functions, the limiting distribution as a nontrivial mixture of Gaussians. The talk is based on F. Bassetti, L. Ladelli, P. Rotondo. Proportional infinite-width infinite-depth limit for deep linear neural networks (2024+) https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.15267 Bassetti,F. Gherardi, M. Ingrosso, A. Pastore, M. Rotondo, P. Feature learning in finite-width Bayesian deep linear networks with multiple outputs and convolutional layers. Journal of Machine Learning Research 26 (2025) 1-35.

MOX COLLOQUIA - Mark Girolami - 9 Ottobre - Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo il seguente seminario della serie dei MOX COLLOQUIA: 09.11.25 ore 14:00 - Aula Consiglio, Edificio 14, Politecnico di Milano Speaker: Mark Girolami, University of Cambridge, Department of Engineering and The Alan Turing Institute Titolo: Statistical Finite Element Methods Abstract: The finite element method (FEM) is one of the great triumphs of applied mathematics, numerical analysis and software development. Recent developments in sensor and signalling technologies enable the phenomenological study of complex natural and physical systems. The connection between sensor data and FEM has been restricted to solving inverse problems placing unwarranted faith in the fidelity of the mathematical description of the system under study. If one concedes mis-specification between generative reality and the FEM then a framework to systematically characterise this uncertainty is required. This talk will present a statistical construction of the FEM which systematically blends mathematical description with data observations by endowing the Hilbert space of FEM solutions with the additional structure of a Probability Measure. This initiative is part of the “Ph.D. Lectures” activity of the project "Departments of Excellence 2023-2027" of the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano. This activity consists of seminars open to Ph.D. students, followed by meetings with the speaker to discuss and go into detail on the topics presented during the talk. Contatto: laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> Il seminario sarà accessibile online: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… https://cassyni.com/events/LTNPwiAikdgXq3b4oMwNvR Per seguire il seminario in streaming, è necessario iscriversi (gratuitamente) sulla piattaforma Cassyni.

Oct 21 - Stats seminars Geneletti and Wrobleski @ Sapienza MEMOTEF
by Francesca Panero 29 Sep '25

29 Sep '25

Buongiorno a tutti, On Tuesday 21st of October at the MEMOTEF Department, Sapienza University, we will have the pleasure to listen to the seminars of Prof Sara Geneletti<https://www.lse.ac.uk/statistics/people/sara-geneletti> and the PhD student Trevor Wrobleski<https://trevorwrobleski.github.io/> from the Department of Statistics of the London School of Economics and Political Science. The seminars will take place 10-11am in Laboratorio Antonio Amato - Sala Corsi (on the third floor of Palazzina Presidenza, the staircase at the entrance of the Economics building, Via del Castro Laurenziano 9). You can find titles and abstracts below. Best wishes, Francesca Sara Geneletti Bayesian interrupted time-series models and their applications on welfare and mental health This talk is an overview of the research output of the Epitome project funded by the Wellcome Trust. The project involved 4 research streams, and we showcase results from each one of them. The main aims of this project were to a) understand the impact of Conservative government and their "austerity" policy which led to widespread cuts in social spending and b) to develop novel methodologies in the context of interrupted time series designs using Bayesian methods. Our project found that changes in welfare benefits had a detrimental effect on mental health which also had a spatial dimension, and that the impact of the "hostile environment policy", an anti-immigration policy on the mental health of African and Carribean communities was negative. We further extended the Bayesian Structural Time Series approach to accommodate multiple data points and confirmed the impact of the hostile environment policy using this alternative method. Finally, we developed a Cohort Markov Model to evaluate the impact of the welfare benefits change by looking at how it impacted different segments of the population. Trevor Wrobleski Robustness and Sensitivity in Bayesian Dose-Response Risk Assessment Bayesian methods are increasingly central to toxicological risk assessment, yet their application to sparse dose-response data presents unique challenges. This presentation examines three drivers of analytical robustness: (i) the choice of likelihood for overdispersed quantal data, (ii) the inferential impact of selective dose-group deletion, and (iii) the sensitivity of results to prior specification. Using simulations and a case study of antimony trioxide carcinogenicity, we quantify the impact of these choices on benchmark dose (BMD) estimates and the posterior distribution, using metrics like Mean Squared Error and symmetrized Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. Our findings show that modeling overdispersion with a Beta-Binomial likelihood is important for accurate uncertainty quantification. We also demonstrate that deleting informative mid-range dose groups can degrade precision and shift inference. Finally, for the Dichotomous Hill model, the prior on the Hill coefficient is the dominant lever on the BMD, capable of inducing multi-fold changes in the risk estimate. ------------------------------------------- Dr Francesca Panero (she/her) Assistant Professor in Statistics (RTT), Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance Sapienza University, Rome Visiting Fellow, Department of Statistics London School of Economics and Political Science Visiting Lecturer, Faculty of Informatics Università della Svizzera Italiana Website: https://francescapanero.github.io

Wednesday, 1 October 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Anna Maria Gambaro (Università del Piemonte Orientale) Title: Functional PCA for Risk-Neutral densities in Bayes Hilbert space. Abstract: In this work, we investigate the main drivers of risk-neutral densities of quoted stocks, using the functional principal component analysis (FPCA). To this end, we first construct a historical series of risk-neutral densities corresponding to quoted option prices with fixed time to maturity, using exponential expansions of orthogonal polynomials. Then, we apply the centered log-ratio transformation (CLRT) to the extracted densities and we perform the FPCA in the Bayes–Hilbert space. The CLRT provides an isometric isomorphism between the Bayes space of square log-integrable densities and the classical Hilbert space of square-integrable functions. As a result, the projected data onto the principal component basis correspond to the CLRT-transformed densities, and the application of the inverse CLRT yields proper density functions. Furthermore, by modeling the historical series of FPCA loadings as a stochastic process, we exploit the FPCA representation for forecasting purposes. Finally, we discuss extensions of this framework to cross-asset analyses and to the modeling of option price surfaces. This is a joint work with A. Amici e G. Fusai. Attendance is also possible online (Microsoft Teams), clicking here.<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YmFlY2M5OWEtYzg1OS00…> All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>.

De Finetti seminar: Huyên Pham and Stéphane Crépey, Sept. 24, 2025
by Alessandro Doldi 22 Sep '25

22 Sep '25

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lectures on September 24, 2025: Huyên Pham, Ecole Polytechnique (h. 16:00) and Stéphane Crépey, Université Paris Cité (h. 17:00) LOCATION The seminars will be held on September 24, 2025 starting at 16:00, Aula C20 (Via Colombo 62), Università degli Studi di Milano, Milano. TITLES AND ABSTRACTS Huyên Pham: Bridging Schrödinger and Bass for generative modeling We address the problem of generating a continuous semimartingale that interpolates prescribed initial and terminal distributions. This is formulated as an optimal transport problem that unifies the Schrödinger bridge and Bass martingale frameworks, enabling the construction of a diffusion process that simultaneously calibrates both drift and volatility to observed data. We derive an analytic characterization of the optimal diffusion’s dynamics, called Schrödinger bridge Bass (SBB) Diffusion, and show that it can be expressed as a stretched Brownian motion under an explicit change of measure. We then design a computational resolution of the SBB, offering an efficient framework for generative modeling in applications such as image synthesis and time series generation. Stéphane Crépey: Comparison of Tax and Cap-and-Trade Carbon Pricing Schemes Carbon pricing has become a central pillar of modern climate policy, with carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS) serving as the two dominant approaches. Although economic theory suggests these instruments are equivalent under idealized assumptions, their performance diverges in practice due to real-world market imperfections. A particularly less explored dimension of this divergence concerns the role of financial intermediaries in emissions trading markets. This paper develops a unified framework to compare the economic and environmental performance of tax- and market-based schemes, explicitly incorporating the involvement of intermediaries. By calibrating both instruments to deliver identical emissions reductions, we assess their economic performance across alternative market structures. Our results suggests that, although the two schemes are equivalent under perfect competition, the presence of intermediaries in ETS reduces regulatory revenues and the aggregate profits of financial actors relative to carbon taxation. These effects arise from intermediaries' influence on price formation and their appropriation of part of the revenue stream. The findings underscore the importance of accounting for intermediaries' behavior in the design of carbon markets and highlight the need for further empirical research on the evolving institutional structure of emissions trading systems.

Seminar Announcement at Sapienza University of Rome (Esmée Theewis)
by Antonio Agresti 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

Dear Colleagues, With this, I would like to advertise the following talk by Esmée Theewis (TU Delft), which will be held at the Math Department of Sapienza University of Rome in "Sala di Consiglio" at *16:00 *on* Monday, September 29th*. Kind regards, Antonio Agresti *Esmée Theewis* (TU Delft) *Title:* Large deviations for SPDEs *Abstract:* This talk is about large deviations for solutions to quasilinear SPDEs with small Gaussian noise. We consider a general variational framework for SPDEs. The large deviation principle (LDP) has been successfully proved for such frameworks by means of the so-called weak convergence approach, but rather strong assumptions must be made on the coefficients in the equation or on the Gelfand triple. In our recently obtained large deviation result, we do not require any additional assumption apart from those required for well-posedness of the equation. This leads to numerous applications for which the LDP was not established yet, such as equations on unbounded spatial domains with gradient noise. In particular, the result solves a long-standing open problem concerning 2D Navier-Stokes. Finally, a generalization of the LDP result will be discussed with a new fluid dynamics application. The talk is based on joint work with Mark Veraar and Antonio Agresti.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Alpha-unstable flows and the fast dynamo problem* by *Michele Coti Zelati* (Imperial College London) The seminar will take place on *THURSDAY, 25.09.2025* at *09:00 CEST *(mind unusual date and time) in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. Best regards Mario Maurelli https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Title: **Alpha-unstable flows and the fast dynamo problem* *Abstract: The fast dynamo problem concerns the generation and maintenance of magnetic fields by fluid motion through the process of electromagnetic induction. In passive vector advection, this can be formulated as the exponential growth of the magnetic energy, at a resistivity-independent rate. In this talk, I will provide a construction of a Lipschitz, divergence-free and time-independent velocity field that is a fast dynamo on the whole space.*

by ANTONELLA BODINI 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Care colleghe, cari colleghi, a ottobre si svolgerà, interamente online, la terza edizione del convegno La Statistica al CNR al servizio del Paese, dedicato agli studi condotti da ricercatori CNR a favore dello sviluppo tecnologico, economico, sociale e culturale del Paese, in cui la Statistica ha un ruolo di rilievo. Questa edizione è organizzata in due sessioni: * il 17 ottobre, dalle 10:00, si terrà la sessione per le scuole * il 20 ottobre, dalle 14:30, si terrà la sessione dedicata alla ricerca La sessione per le scuole si caratterizza per un taglio più divulgativo, ma certamente presenta temi di grande interesse come la necessità di preparare un buon protocollo di studio prima di qualunque ricerca che coinvolga soggetti umani; una spiegazione su base scientifica su come le società calcistiche riescano a ottenere risultati migliori sia dai singoli atleti sia dalle squadre nel loro complesso, accompagnata da una riflessione su come tali risultati si trasferiscano alla società in generale; i risultati di alcune survey condotte sugli adolescenti in tema di comportamenti sostenibili con riferimento al cambiamento climatico e di percezione del proprio futuro. La sessione per la ricerca considera diverse applicazioni degli algoritmi di IA (dal settore energetico, alla manutenzione, alla diagnostica per immagini), l’uso della statistica per analizzare e interpretare processi cognitivi complessi come la lettura, e l’importanza degli studi longitudinali nello studio della società. Entrambe le sessioni sono aperte a tutti gli interessati! Il programma integrale è disponibile al sito: https://stat-cnr.mi.imati.cnr.it/ La partecipazione è gratuita, previa registrazione (a uno o entrambi gli eventi) entro il 10 ottobre sul sito. Vi preghiamo di dare la più ampia diffusione all'iniziativa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antonella Bodini Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche "E.

Seminar at Sapienza University - N. Leonenko - 22/9/2025
by Luisa Beghin 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar at the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University. ——— *Speaker*: Nikolai Leonenko, Cardiff University (UK) *Title*: *Limit theorems for supCAR random fields* *When*: Monday, September 22, 10:00 *Where*: p.le A. Moro, 5, building CU002, room 24 (fourth floor) *Online: *at the following link <https://meet.google.com/fhc-xvdh-cgq> *Abstract*: The paper introduces a new class of random fields, supCAR fields, which are constructed as superpositions of continuous autoregressive random fields. These supCAR fields possess infinitely divisible marginal distributions. Their second-order properties are characterised by a novel family of covariance functions which can exhibit short- and long-range spatial dependencies. First, the existence of such fields is examined. Then, functional limit theorems for supCAR fields are derived under general assumptions. Four limiting scenarios that depend on the marginals of the underlying autoregressive fields and the specifications of the superposition are identified. Examples of specific supCAR fields, for which the assumptions and results are provided in simple, explicit forms, are presented. The obtained limit theorems can be employed for the statistical inference of supCAR fields.

Stefano Favaro in Venice, Seminar at Ca' Foscari University, September 23
by Roberto CASARIN 11 Sep '25

11 Sep '25

Dear all, I'm pleased to invite you to the Seminar in Statistics, which will be held on Tuesday, September 23 at 12:00 in Meeting Room 1 by: Stefano Favaro (University of Torino - Collegio Carlo Alberto), Quasi-Bayes empirical Bayes: a sequential approach to the Poisson compound decision problem (Joint work with Sandra Fortini, Bocconi University) Abstract: The Poisson compound decision problem is a long-standing problem in statistics, where empirical Bayes methodologies are commonly used to estimate Poisson's means in static or batch domains. In this paper, we study the Poisson compound decision problem in a streaming or online domain. Adopting a quasi-Bayesian approach, often referred to as Newton’s algorithm, we obtain a sequential Poisson's mean estimate that is easy to evaluate, computationally efficient, and maintain a constant per-observation computational cost as data accumulate. Asymptotic frequentist guarantees of this estimate are established, showing consistency and asymptotic optimality, where the latter is understood as vanishing excess Bayes risk or regret. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology through empirical analysis on synthetic and real data, with comparisons to existing parametric and nonparametric approaches. More information available at https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/105362 We are looking forward to welcoming you to Venice. -- Roberto Casarin, PhD Professor of Econometrics Ca' Foscari University of Venice San Giobbe 873/b - 30121 Venezia, Italy http://sites.google.com/view/robertocasarin/ https://www.unive.it/vera https://www.unive.it/isba2024

Avviso di Seminario: Prof. Nikolai Leonenko
by luigia.caputo 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

Il giorno 10 settembre 2025, alle ore 12:00, in aula F, del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni R. Caccioppoli, il Prof. Nikolai Leonenko, Cardiff School of Mathematics, Cardiff University, terrà il seguente seminario: ''_Humbert generalized fractional differenced processes_'' Abstract: We use the generating functions of the Humbert polynomials to define two types of Humbert generalized fractional differenced ARMA processes. We present stationarity and invertibility conditions for the introduced models. The singularities for the spectral densities of the introduced models are investigated. In particular, Pincherle ARMA, Horadam ARMA and Horadam-Pethe ARMA processes are studied. It is shown that the Pincherle ARMA process has seasonable long memory property. Additionally, we employ the Whittle quasi-likelihood technique to estimate the parameters of the introduced processes. Through this estimation method, we attain results regarding the consistency and normality of the parameter estimators. We also conduct a comprehensive simulation study to validate the performance of the estimation technique for Pincherle ARMA process. Moreover, we apply the Pincherle ARMA process to real-world data, specifically to Spain's 10 years treasury bond yield data, to demonstrate its practical utility in capturing and forecasting market dynamics. These are joint results with Niharika Bhootna, Monika Singh Dhull and Arun Kumar (Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Rupnagar, Punjab, India) Link: Seminario Prof. Nikolai Leonenko | Partecipazione alla riunione | Microsoft Teams [1] I Proponenti Luigia Caputo, Roberta Schiattarella -- Luigia Caputo, PhD Ricercatore Universitario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II Via Cintia, 80126, NAPOLI https://www.docenti.unina.it/luigia.caputo Links: ------ [1] https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3341583166422?p=qqbdMFugJwUek3OULf

Nadia Oudjane September 9th, 11h CET at Bologna, Aula Vitali and Online
by Cristina Di Girolami 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, I am glad to advertise that next Tuesday, September 9th, at 11h Nadia Oudjane (Electricité de France, Paris, EDF) will give a talk Mathematical tools to manage distributed flexibilities in power systems. in Aula Vitali, Dipartimento di Matematica in Piazza di Porta San Donato 5 in Bologna and on-line https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NzA3NGMzN2EtODcyMC00… Abstract: With the massive integration of renewable energies (photovoltaic (PV) and wind power) into the power grid, new uncertainties are impacting the power balance. At the same time, advances in « smart » technologies and batteries offer new flexibilities with the possibility of controlling the consumption of a large number of electrical appliances (electric vehicle recharging, heat pumps, etc.). In this framework, a major technical challenge is to optimize the management of this large number of heterogeneous flexibilities distributed across the network to help in balancing the system. This constitutes a large scale optimization problem under uncertainties, which can benefit from mean-field approximations.

Postdoc Opportunity: Generative AI for Financial Market Modelling
by Juho Kanniainen (TAU) 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

TUNI Luottamuksellinen - Confidential (3Y) Dear all, We are offering a postdoctoral position to work on generative AI for financial market modelling in a Nasdaq Nordic Foundation-funded project at Tampere University, Data Science Research Center, Finland. The project focuses on developing AI-based methods for spoofing detection and optimal execution in high-frequency trading within Limit Order Book (LOB) markets. As LOB data is inherently sequential, generative token-based methods are especially promising for modeling and forecasting LOB dynamics. The models developed in this project are also suited for counterfactual and interventional what-if scenarios, enabling analysis of what might have happened or what could happen under changing conditions. Professors Alexandros Iosifidis<https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrosiosifidis/> and Juho Kanniainen<https://www.linkedin.com/in/juho-kanniainen-771b99/> have been pioneers in developing low-latency machine learning models for Limit Order Book (LOB) driven financial markets. With our international collaborators, we have published in top-tier AI journals and are among the most cited researchers in this field. Join us at the forefront of AI research in financial market modelling! 📌 More information and application: https://tuni.rekrytointi.com/paikat/?o=A_A&jid=2753 📅 Deadline: 25 August 2025 For inquiries, please contact: Professor Juho Kanniainen, juho.kanniainen(a)tuni.fi<mailto:juho.kanniainen@tuni.fi> Please include Post-Doc/Nasdaq Foundation – First Name Last Name in the subject line of your email.

Seminar presented by Annamaria Olivieri - Applications of Probability to Economics
by Enrico Scalas 04 Jul '25

04 Jul '25

Dear colleagues, On 10 July 2025 at 2pm (CET), Annamaria Olivieri, (University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management) will present an online seminar whose title is: Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications Abstract: In the closing decade of the last century, a generalized decrease in mortality rates has been reported in many countries, especially at adult and old ages, which was highly unanticipated. Until then, the modelling of mortality for insurance applications was mainly deterministic since, according to the classical insurance paradigm, in sufficiently large and homogeneous pools there is a high probability to achieve an outcome in line with what expected. Uncertain mortality trends are against such an argument. Net of the effect of the pandemic, the decreasing trend in mortality has persisted to current times, at a pace that remains random. Mortality has a clear impact on the liabilities of the life insurance (and pension) industry and an adequate mortality forecasting is among the key elements of an effective risk management design for a life insurer (or a pension fund), especially when longevity benefits are involved. Starting from the end of the last century, stochastic mortality modelling has become a core topic of actuarial science and many studies have greatly enriched the actuarial literature. In this presentation, the main characteristics of mortality trends are first summarized, with particular regard to the Italian population. Then, mortality and longevity risks are defined. Finally, a review of the main stochastic mortality models developed for actuarial purposes is provided. The seminar link is: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/85751921753 This is the second seminar of a series of three seminars organised by UMI-PRISMA on the Applications of Probability to Economics in preparation to the 2025 Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview The next seminar will be: on 17 July 2025 at 2pm, Sara Merino Aceituno (Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Austria), Large particle limit for jump processes The previous seminar was: on 26 June 2025, Marta Leocata (LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences) Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Everybody is welcome to join these seminars!

Seminario Lukas Wessels a Milano-Bicocca
by Federica Masiero 04 Jul '25

04 Jul '25

Buongiorno segnalo il seguente seminario *Martedì 8 Luglio 2025, ore 11:30.* Aula 3014, Edificio U5, terzo piano, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, via Cozzi 55, Università di Milano-Bicocca *Speaker*: Lukas Wessels, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta *Title*: Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Optimal Control of Semilinear SPDEs *Abstract:* In this talk, we consider a finite-horizon optimal control problem of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. First we apply the spike variation method which relies on introducing the first and second order adjoint state. We give a novel characterization of the second order adjoint state as the solution to a backward SPDE. Using this representation, we prove the maximum principle for controlled SPDEs. As another application of our characterization of the second order adjoint state, we derive additional necessary optimality conditions in terms of the value function. These results generalize a classical relationship between the adjoint states and the derivatives of the value function to the case of viscosity differentials. The last part of the talk is devoted to sufficient optimality conditions. We show how the necessary conditions lead us directly to a non-smooth version of the classical verification theorem in the framework of viscosity solutions. This talk is based on joint works with Wilhelm Stannat. -- Federica Masiero Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano Bicocca, Edificio U5 via Roberto Cozzi, 55, 20126 Milano

IAMG Distinguished Lecture di Jeff Boisvert presso Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandra Menafoglio 03 Jul '25

03 Jul '25

Si avvisa che in data 11-07-2025, alle ore 10:00 presso il Politecnico di Milano, Edificio 14 (Via Bonardi 9), in Aula B.5.3 (quinto piano), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX e della IAMG Distinguished Lecture Series, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Jeff Boisvert — University of Alberta e IAMG Distinguished Lecturer for 2025 Titolo: The Future of Machine Learning and Model Validation in the Earth Sciences: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Abstract: The earth sciences are being transformed by advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence. From optimizing mineral estimation and hydrocarbon production to improving wildfire prediction and management, these methods offer exciting opportunities for modeling and decision-making. However, these advances bring challenges with model validation, which is critical for ensuring that predictions are robust, reasonable, and actionable. This lecture will delve into the evolving role of ML in the mining, hydrocarbon, or wildfire industry, highlighting successes, pitfalls, and future prospects. "The Good" will explore case studies and implementations where ML has significantly improved modeling, decision making, and inference. "The Bad" will examine common pitfalls, including data biases, overfitting, and the misuse of algorithms without understanding domain constraints. Finally, "The Ugly" will confront the ethical and operational risks posed by poorly validated models, emphasizing the importance of transparency and domain experts. This lecture will not only focus on ML methods, but will also consider how to validate all types of earth science models including estimates, simulations, and decision making. We will discuss best practices for integrating ML models into traditional workflows while addressing the complexities of model validation. The seminar is part of the IAMG Distinguished Lecture Series, which is aimed to highlight the critical role of mathematics and statistics in addressing key challenges in the geosciences.

Seminar presented by Marta Leocata - Applications of Probability to Economics
by Enrico Scalas 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, (With apologies for cross-posting) On 26 June 2025 at 2pm (CET) Marta Leocata (LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences) will present an online seminar whose title is: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt). The seminar link is: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/87022289921 This is the first seminar of a series of three seminars organised by UMI-PRISMA on the Applications of Probability to Economics in preparation to the 2025 Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview The next seminars will be: on 10 July 2025, Annamaria Olivieri, (University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management), Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications on 17 July 2025, Sara Merino Aceituno (Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Austria), Large particle limit for jump processes Everybody is welcome to join these seminars!

Oggi, martedì 24 giugno 2025 alle ore 14:30 Dario Trevisan, Dipartimento di Matematica , Università di Pisa , terrà il seminario: Convergenza quantitativa delle reti neurali profonde ai processi gaussiani Astratto In questo seminario, esploriamo la convergenza quantitativa di ampie reti neurali profonde con pesi gaussiani a processi gaussiani, stabilendo nuove velocità per la loro approssimazione gaussiana. Mostriamo che la distanza di Wasserstein tra l'output della rete e la sua controparte gaussiana scala inversamente alla larghezza della rete, con limiti applicabili a qualsiasi insieme finito di input in specifiche condizioni di non degenerazione delle covarianze. Inoltre, estendiamo la nostra analisi al framework bayesiano, studiando i posteriori esatti per le reti neurali, quando dotate di priori gaussiani e funzioni di verosimiglianza regolari, ma forniamo anche recenti progressi nell'approssimazione quantitativa di reti addestrate tramite discesa del gradiente nel regime NTK. Basato su lavori congiunti con A. Basteri, A. Agazzi ed E. Mosig. Il seminario si svolgerà presso la sede CNR-IAC di Roma , sala al primo piano , in modalità mista: in presenza e in streaming al link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMKVBN5l13g Cordialmente, Giovanni Luca Torrisi

Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Giorgio Cipolloni, The University of Arizona, College of Mathematics. Title: Logarithmically Correlated Fields from Random Matrices. Abstract: In 2012, Fyodorov, Hiary, and Keating discovered a new connection between random matrices and extremal values of logarithmically correlated fields, such as branching Brownian motion and the 2D Gaussian Free Field. In particular, they conjectured that extreme statistics of random characteristic polynomials of unitary matrices belong to the universality class of logarithmically correlated fields, which was first identified by Bramson in his seminal work on branching Brownian motion. I will review several contributions in proving this connection and present some new recent works establishing new connections of characteristic polynomials of non-Hermitian matrices and two- and three-dimensional logarithmically correlated fields.

Luisa and Roger ________________________________ Da: owps-request(a)lists.bath.ac.uk <owps-request(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> per conto di One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Inviato: martedì 17 giugno 2025 21:13 A: owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Oggetto: [owps] Fwd: next OWPS: Eva Löcherbach and Elisa Marini The final OWPS of Spring will be on Wednesday, June 18, from 13:00 to 15:00 UTC time.

Löcherbach (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University) I will give an overview of recent results about mean field limits for systems of interacting point processes modeling spiking (biological) neurons. I will start with a short introduction to the functioning of neurons and the modeling of their spiking activity by stochastic integrate and fire models and then focus on a particular class of models which are stochastic intensity based processes. Then we will discuss mean field limits and propagation of chaos results for large homogeneous systems of neurons and see how the limit is described by a McKean-Vlasov type equation driven by Poisson random measure. A second part of the talk is devoted to the study of systems with random synaptic weights in a diffusive scaling. We will see how this setting leads to conditional propagation of chaos and how the convergence can be obtained by means of a new martingale problem. Finally, if time permits, I will also discuss the longtime behavior both of the finite and the limit system of neurons. The second part of the talk is based on joint work with Xavier Erny and Dasha Loukianova. Strong conditional propagation of chaos for systems of interacting particles with nearly stable jumps E. Marini (Dauphine-PSL Paris) We consider a system of N interacting particles, described by SDEs driven by Poisson random measures, where the coefficients depend on the empirical measure of the system. Every particle jumps with a rate depending on its position. When this happens, all the other particles of the system receive the same random kick, distributed according to a heavy-tailed random variable belonging to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law, and scaled by N−1/α, where α ∈ (0, 2) \ {1}. We call these jumps collateral jumps. Moreover, in the case 0 < α < 1, the jumping particle itself undergoes a macroscopic, main jump. Similar systems are used to model networks of interacting neurons; in that context, main and collateral jumps represent, respectively, the hyperpolarization of a neuron after a spike and the synaptic inputs received by post-synaptic neurons from pre-synaptic ones. We prove that our system satisfies the conditional propagation of chaos property: as N → +∞, the finite particle system converges to an infinite exchangeable system that obeys a McKean–Vlasov SDE driven by an α-stable process. In the limit, the particles become independent, conditionally on the driving α-stable process. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Seminario Bin Yu al dipartimento G. Catelnuovo
by Gustavo Posta 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Lunedì 23 giugno alle 16:00 nella Sala di Consiglio il prof. Bin Yu (Statistics, EECS, Center for Computational Biology, and Simons Institute UC Berkeley) terrà un seminario dal titolo: Sparse dictionary learning and deep learning in practice and theory Abstract: Sparse dictionary learning has a long history and produces wavelet-like filters when fed with natural image patches, corresponding to the V1 primary visual cortex of the human brain. Wavelets as local Fourier Transforms are interpretable in physical sciences and beyond. In this talk, we will first describe adaptive wavelet distillation (AWD) to turn black-box deep learning models interpretable in cosmology and cellular biology problems while improving predictive performance. Then we present theoretical results that, under simple sparse dictionary models, gradient descent in auto-encoder fitting converges to one point on a manifold of global minima, and which minimum depends on the batch size.

16 Jun '25

Dear All, The final OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> of the season will feature two selected talks and will take place live from BayesComp https://bayescomp2025.sg/! The talks will take place on Thursday the 19th June at 1pm UK time (note the different date and time!), and will be given by * Filippo Pagani (University of Warwick): Approximate Bayesian Fusion * Maurizio Filippone (KAUST): GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection with abstracts reported below. The talks will be live streamed from the following link: https://monash.zoom.us/j/81050994376?pwd=aF52Ab2oUlNYPO251d4nDw0jXRemia.1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmonash.zoom.us%2Fj%2F81050994376…> Meeting ID: 810 5099 4376 Passcode: 137607 The session will run in a hybrid format, taking place live from BayesCom2025 - 8pm-9pm (Singapore time) - and will be located in room LT50 in the conference venue. We look forward to seeing you online or in person! Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers 1st OWABI Talk: 1-1.30pm Uk time Speaker: Filippo Pagani<https://filippopagani.github.io/> (University of Warwick) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Bayesian Fusion is a powerful approach that enables distributed inference while maintaining exactness. However, the approach is computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a novel method that incorporates numerical approximations to alleviate the most computationally expensive steps, thereby achieving substantial reductions in runtime. Our approach retains the flexibility to approximate the target posterior distribution to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, and is scalable with respect to both the size of the dataset and the number of computational cores. Our method offers a practical and efficient alternative for large-scale Bayesian inference in distributed environments. 2nd OWABI Talk: 1.30-2pm Uk time Speaker: Maurizio Filippone<https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/study/faculty/maurizio-filippone> (KAUST) Title: GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are popular models achieving impressive performance in various generative modeling tasks. In this work, we aim at explaining the undeniable success of GANs by interpreting them as probabilistic generative models. In this view, GANs transform a distribution over latent variables Z into a distribution over inputs X through a function parameterized by a neural network, which is usually referred to as the generator. This probabilistic interpretation enables us to cast the GAN adversarial-style optimization as a proxy for marginal likelihood optimization. More specifically, it is possible to show that marginal likelihood maximization with respect to model parameters is equivalent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the true data generating distribution and the one modeled by the GAN. By replacing the KL divergence with other divergences and integral probability metrics we obtain popular variants of GANs such as f-GANs, Wasserstein-GANs, and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD)-GANs. This connection has profound implications because of the desirable properties associated with marginal likelihood optimization, such as (i) lack of overfitting, which explains the success of GANs, and (ii) allowing for model selection, which opens to the possibility of obtaining parsimonious generators through architecture search. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Steven CAMPBELL (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY)
by Matteo Giordano 16 Jun '25

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 20/06/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Steven CAMPBELL (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY) Title: A Tractable Triple Problem in Sequential Inference: Filtering, Control, and Stopping Abstract: We study a Bayesian sequential inference problem for the drift of a Brownian motion in which the observer not only chooses their stopping and decision rules, but also controls the rate at which information is acquired. This extension introduces a cost for information acquisition, transforming the classical formulation of Shiryaev (1967) into a joint problem of filtering, control, and optimal stopping. Problems of this kind arise in adaptive experimental design and real-time inference across domains such as healthcare, finance, and engineering, where information is costly and decision-making must be timely. Our framework accommodates a host of classification losses and general running costs on the control process. Despite the added complexity, the problem admits a remarkably simple and semi-explicit solution that exhibits structural parallels with the classical setting. This work highlights a rare instance in which a triple problem—combining inference, control, and stopping—remains analytically tractable. Based on joint work with Georgy Gaitsgori and Richard Groenewald. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 18/06/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Seminario Padova - Filippo Quattrocchi
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 15 Jun '25

15 Jun '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (20 Giugno) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Filippo Quattrocchi (Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)) <https://sites.google.com/view/filippoquattrocchi/> https://sites.google.com/view/filippoquattrocchi/ Title: Acceleration-based Optimal Transport Date: June 20, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: Finding smooth interpolations between probability measures is a problem of broad interest, with applications ranging from physics to biology, from computer graphics to engineering. In this talk, I will discuss a model in which such interpolations are found by minimising an action functional of the acceleration, and present recent results obtained in collaboration with G. Brigati and J. Maas (ISTA), arXiv:2502.15665. The first result is a fluid-dynamic equivalent formulation of the model, previously conjectured by Y. Chen, G. Conforti, and T. T. Georgiou. We complete the formal argument outlined by the aforementioned authors through the introduction of two new mathematical ingredients. The second result is the description of the (hypoelliptic) Riemannian structure induced by the minimal acceleration-based action on the space of probability measures. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminar Giuseppina GUATTERI
by Antonello Pesce 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Dear all, On JUNE 18th, at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bologna, room Vitali, and online at this LINK <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_NzYzZTc5ZDgtZjAxYi00ND…>, the following seminar will take place: 11:00-12:00: Giuseppina GUATTERI “MAXIMUM PRINCIPLE FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH DELAYS IN THE NON CONVEX CASE” as part of the cycle Stochastics and Applications. ABSTRACT: We establish a stochastic maximum principle for controlled stochastic differential equations with delay and control-dependent noise, without convexity assumptions on the control space. The cost functional depends on both present and delayed states, modeled via general finite measures. For measures with square-integrable densities, we employ infinite-dimensional reformulation and BSDE techniques; for general measures, we apply anticipated BSDEs and weak convergence methods. We further analyze the case of delay measures with $L^p$-densities ($p \in (1,2)$), deriving a generalized mild backward equation beyond Hilbertian settings. For any question, please contact the organizers: Elena Bandini (elena.bandini7(a)unibo.it <mailto:elena.bandini7@unibo.it>), Antonello Pesce (antonello.pesce2(a)unibo.it <mailto:antonello.pesce2@unibo.it>)

Mathematics - Special Issue: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science
by Alberto Lanconelli 12 Jun '25

12 Jun '25

Dear all, this is to bring to your attention the call for papers for a special issue in Mathematics, with title: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science The deadline for submissions is 31 October 2025. More details can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Computational_Model… and below. Best wishes.. Giulia Spaletta, Margherita Carletti, Alberto Lanconelli (Guest Editors) Mathematics an Open Access Journal by MDPI Impact Factor 2.3 CiteScore 4.6 mdpi.com/si/227288 Message from the Guest Editors Life sciences have become central in scientific research over recent years, both for their wide range of advanced applications and for their usefulness in the treatment of complex and/or rare diseases that affect humans. Experimentalists in biology and, more generally, in the natural and applied sciences increasingly look to the simulation methods and tools that mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists can offer, in attempts to obtain in-depth information on the physical phenomena in which they are involved. To accomplish this task, modeling is confirmed as an essential step with which to gain insights and acquire knowledge on the phenomena considered, describe the related processes of interest, and make predictions. Contributions are therefore welcome regarding applications of mathematics to real-life situations and, above all, to natural and applied science, particularly computational biology and biotechnology, but also physics and medicine. Also of interest are applications involving complex and/or high-dimensional data or dynamics arising in the social sciences, especially economics devoted to health and lifestyle aspects.

The two talks are scheduled on Thursday the 19th June at 1pm UK time (note the different date and time!), given by * Filippo Pagani (University of Warwick): Approximate Bayesian Fusion * Maurizio Filippone (KAUST): GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on Zoom at the link: https://monash.zoom.us/j/81050994376?pwd=aF52Ab2oUlNYPO251d4nDw0jXRemia.1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmonash.zoom.us%2Fj%2F81050994376…> Meeting ID: 810 5099 4376 Passcode: 137607 1st OWABI Talk: 1-1.30pm Uk time Speaker: Filippo Pagani<https://filippopagani.github.io/> (University of Warwick) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Bayesian Fusion is a powerful approach that enables distributed inference while maintaining exactness. However, the approach is computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a novel method that incorporates numerical approximations to alleviate the most computationally expensive steps, thereby achieving substantial reductions in runtime. Our approach retains the flexibility to approximate the target posterior distribution to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, and is scalable with respect to both the size of the dataset and the number of computational cores. Our method offers a practical and efficient alternative for large-scale Bayesian inference in distributed environments. 2nd OWABI Talk: 1.30-2pm Uk time Speaker: Maurizio Filippone<https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/study/faculty/maurizio-filippone> (KAUST) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are popular models achieving impressive performance in various generative modeling tasks. In this work, we aim at explaining the undeniable success of GANs by interpreting them as probabilistic generative models. In this view, GANs transform a distribution over latent variables Z into a distribution over inputs X through a function parameterized by a neural network, which is usually referred to as the generator. This probabilistic interpretation enables us to cast the GAN adversarial-style optimization as a proxy for marginal likelihood optimization. More specifically, it is possible to show that marginal likelihood maximization with respect to model parameters is equivalent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the true data generating distribution and the one modeled by the GAN. By replacing the KL divergence with other divergences and integral probability metrics we obtain popular variants of GANs such as f-GANs, Wasserstein-GANs, and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD)-GANs. This connection has profound implications because of the desirable properties associated with marginal likelihood optimization, such as (i) lack of overfitting, which explains the success of GANs, and (ii) allowing for model selection, which opens to the possibility of obtaining parsimonious generators through architecture search.

QFinLab Seminar - Marco Tolotti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) - 9/6/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Monday, 9 June 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Marco Tolotti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) Title: Market Dynamics, Learning, and the Equity Premium Puzzle in an Agent-Based Model of Information Acquisition. Abstract: We analyze a financial market with a large number of investors who use an imitation-based learning mechanism to choose among various strategies that differ in the amount and quality of information they incorporate. Agents’ strategies evolve through a straightforward learning mechanism in which traders occasionally imitate more successful strategies adopted by peers they encounter. In this context, equilibrium is defined as a state where investors, on average, win half the time and lose in the remaining periods. Through an agent-based model, we show that at equilibrium, most investors rely on a limited number of strategies. In most scenarios, two strategies dominate: overly cautious traders, who hold little equity and capture the largest market share, and informed traders, who achieve higher average profits. Our model can help to justify the existence of an equity premium puzzle: in equilibrium, the higher mean profit of informed investors is associated with a median profit that is equal to that of more prudent or misinformed investors.

Seminario Anderson Melchor Hernandez - Politecnico di Milano - 12 Giugno 2025
by Luca Scarpa 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 12 Giugno 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Anderson Melchor Hernandez, Università di Bologna. Title: Convergence of quantum neural networks at infinite width Abstract: Quantum neural networks constitute the quantum version of deep neural models. These new models are based on quantum circuits and generate functions given by the expectation values of a quantum observable measured on the output of a quantum circuit made by parametric one-qubit and two-qubit gates. The parameters of the circuit encode both the input data and the parameters of the model itself. These parameters are typically optimized by gradient descent, which involves iterative adjustment to minimize a cost function and improve the performance of the quantum circuit in the processing and analysis of data. Significant progress has been made in addressing the question of whether training can perfectly fit the training examples while simultaneously avoiding overfitting. A fundamental breakthrough has been the proof that, in the limit of infinite width, the probability distribution of the function generated by a deep neural network trained on a supervised learning problem converges to a Gaussian process. Recent developments have inspired renewed interest in quantum machine learning, raising the question of whether quantum neural networks exhibit analogous properties. In this presentation, I will explore some of the recent advancements in this area, highlighting key insights and findings. This talk is based on joint collaborations with Giacomo de Palma, Filippo Girardi, and Davide Pastorello.

In recent years, with the rapid progress in the study of the hydrodynamics of integrable systems, there has been a growing interest in BBS with random initial distribution. In this talk, we consider the scaling limits for a tagged soliton in the BBS starting from certain stationary distribution. This talk is based on a joint work with Stefano Olla and Makiko Sasada. Probabilistic aspects of integrable systems Makiko Sasada (University of Tokyo) The KdV equation and the Toda lattice are classical integrable systems, with the box-ball system (BBS) as their ultra-discrete analogue. The BBS has been studied from various viewpoints such as tropical geometry, combinatorics, and cellular-automaton. Recently, probabilistic approaches to the BBS—such as the Pitman transform and analysis of i.i.d.-type invariant measures—have advanced rapidly and are also applicable to discrete KdV and Toda systems. Connections to Yang-Baxter maps have further deepened this research topic. In this talk, I will provide an overview of these developments. This talk is based on joint works with David Croydon, Tsuyoshi Kato, Satoshi Tsujimoto, Ryosuke Uozumi, Hiroki Kondo and Sachiko Nakajima. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Best wishes Stefan ------------------------------------------------ Friday, June 06, (12:30 noon London, 1:30 pm Berlin, 2:30 pm Helsinki, 7:30 pm Beijing) in the *International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics* in Zoom https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61891007917 *Rainer Buckdahn* (Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France, Shandong University Qingdao, China) will speak about *Optimal control problems with generalized mean-field dynamics* *and viscosity solutions to a Master Bellman equation* Abstract: We study an optimal control problem with generalized mean-field dynamics with open-loop controls, where the coefficients depend not only on the state processes and controls, but also on the joint law of them. The value function V which is defined in a classical way, does not satisfy the Dynamic Programming Principle (DPP for short). Indeed, we show that V solely satisfies the one-sided DPP. For this reason we introduce subtly a novel value function ϑ, which is closely related to the original value function V, so that a characterisation of ϑ as a solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) also characterises V. We establish the DPP for ϑ. By using an intrinsic notion of viscosity solution, initially introduced in Burzoni, Ignazio, Reppen and Soner and specifically tailored to our framework, we show that the value function ϑ is a viscosity solution to a Master Bellman equation on a subset of the Wasserstein space of probability measures with second order moment. The uniqueness of the viscosity solution is proved for coefficients which depend on the time and the joint law of the control process and the controlled process. The talk is based on joint work with Juan Li (SDU, Qingdao and Weihai) and Zhanxin Li (SDU, Weihai). ==== about the speaker ==== Rainer Buckdahn studied Mathematics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany) and obtained his doctoral degree, directed by H.-J. Engelbert, in 1985. After that he held a position at the Humboldt University Berlin and completed his habilitation in 1992. In 1994 he became a professor at the University of Western Brittany (Brest, France). Rainer Buckdahn is a leading specialist in stochastic process theory with an emphasis on stochastic control and differential games, stochastic differential equations, various types of backward stochastic differential equations, and stochastic partial differential equations. Rainer Buckdahn was awarded a fellowship by the French Ministry of Research and Technology and a Heisenberg grant by the German "Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft". He is also a member of the Academic Faculty of the "Research Centre for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences Centre" at Shandong University (China). Finally, he acts as executive editor of the journal "Probability, Uncertainty and Quantitative Risk". -- Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

QFinLab Seminar - Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich) - 5/6/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 30 May '25

30 May '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Thursday, 5 June 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich) Title: Insurers' carbon underwriting policies Abstract: Insurance companies can influence the net-zero transition by limiting coverage for carbon-intensive projects. We study the adoption, structure, and effects of carbon underwriting policies among the world’s largest insurance groups. Using novel mine-level insurance data, we show that insurers with coal policies reduce the number of insured mines by approximately 16%, insured coal volumes by 56%, and make continued coverage significantly less likely. Implementation is often incomplete, and some insurers expand coverage despite commitments. Affected mines tend to reduce output, cut the number of employees, and are more likely to be idled in subsequent periods. Joint work with Felix von Meyerinck and Zacharias Sautner. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. Next seminar: Marco Tolotti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 9 June 12.15.

cambio data - seminari a Pavia, 4 giugno
by Benedetta Ferrario 29 May '25

29 May '25

CAMBIO DATA: mercoledì 4 giugno (e non più 3 giugno) per i seguenti due seminari presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali (aula E, piano terra) dell'Università di Pavia. *ore 13:30 *Hakima Bessaih (Florida International University) *titolo*: Dynamical systems with noisy data *abstract*: Reconstructing the state of a dynamical system from noisy observations is particularly challenging when the initial conditions are unknown. This talk focuses on synchronization-based and feedback control methods for data assimilation, which dynamically align model trajectories with observed data. Techniques such as nudging, observer-based schemes, and coupling strategies will be discussed, highlighting how they correct for uncertainty and stabilize the system in real time. Applications include chaotic systems and models governed by stochastic dynamics. *ore 14:30: *Sam Power (University of Bristol) *titolo*: Gradient Flow Methods for Statistical Computation - Trends and Trajectories *abstract*: When conducting statistical estimation and inference, it is relatively commonplace that the dominant computational burden takes the form of an optimisation task. This has long been recognised for tasks of parameter estimation, though there is an increasing recognition that other tasks of interest can be fruitfully interpreted as optimisation tasks over a space of probability measures, or even over some 'hybrid' space involving both parameters and measures. In this talk, I will survey some trends in this area, focusing on how this high-level perspective finds use in both analysis of popular existing algorithms and synthesis of novel algorithms. I will also highlight opportunities for future contributions in this fast-growing area. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

OWABI@BioInference2025 - today at * 10.30am * UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 29 May '25

29 May '25

Dear all, due to the conference running late, the OWABI www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> seminars will start today at 10.30am UK time instead of 10am, as previously announced. The talks will be given by * Andrew Golightly (Durham University), Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data * Henrik Häggström (Chalmers University), Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team Channel<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> , at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 323 917 219 730 3 Passcode: Fk9JG3eB 1st OWABI Talk: 10.30-11am UK time Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University) Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London. 2nd Seminar: 11-11.30am UK time Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University) Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminario di Sam Power - Pavia, 3 giugno 2025 ore 15
by Carlo Orrieri 28 May '25

28 May '25

Martedì 3 giugno alle ore 15 presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali (aula E, piano terra) dell'Università di Pavia, Sam Power (University of Bristol) terrà un seminario: titolo: Gradient Flow Methods for Statistical Computation - Trends and Trajectories abstract: When conducting statistical estimation and inference, it is relatively commonplace that the dominant computational burden takes the form of an optimisation task. This has long been recognised for tasks of parameter estimation, though there is an increasing recognition that other tasks of interest can be fruitfully interpreted as optimisation tasks over a space of probability measures, or even over some 'hybrid' space involving both parameters and measures. In this talk, I will survey some trends in this area, focusing on how this high-level perspective finds use in both analysis of popular existing algorithms and synthesis of novel algorithms. I will also highlight opportunities for future contributions in this fast-growing area. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Un caro saluto Carlo Orrieri

Seminario di Giorgio Cipolloni alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 28 May '25

28 May '25

Buongiorno Martedi' 3 Giugno alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio Giorgio Cipolloni (University of Arizona) terra' il seguente seminario Title: Logarithmically correlated fields from non-Hermitian random matrices Abstract: We study the Brownian evolution of large non-Hermitian matrices and show that their log-determinant converges to a 2+1 dimensional Gaussian field in the Edwards-Wilkinson regularity class, i.e. logarithmically correlated for the parabolic distance. This gives a dynamical extension of the celebrated result by Rider and Virag (2006) proving that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of Gaussian non-Hermitian matrices converge to a 2 dimensional log-correlated field. Our result, previously not known even in the Gaussian case, holds out of equilibrium for general matrices with i.i.d. entries. We also study the extremal values of these fields and demonstrate their logarithmic dependence on the matrix dimension.

Seminario Padova - Vanessa Jacquier
by Alberto Chiarini 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (30 Maggio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Vanessa Jacquier (Università di Padova) Title: Discrete Nonlocal Isoperimetric Inequality and Analysis of the Long-Range Bi-Axial Ising Model Date: May 30, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: We consider a generalization of the classical perimeter, referred to as the nonlocal bi-axial discrete perimeter, in which not only the external boundary of a polyomino contributes to the perimeter, but all its internal and external components. In particular, this nonlocal bi-axial perimeter is a fractional function that depends on the shape of the given geometrical figure and on a parameter λ>1, which accounts for the long-range effect. We tackle the nonlocal discrete isoperimetric problem analyzing and characterizing the minimizers within the class of polyominoes with a fixed area. The solution of this isoperimetric problem provides a rigorous foundation for studying the metastable behavior of the long-range bi-axial Ising model. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminario di Amichai Painsky presso l'università Bicocca, Mercoledì 4 giugno
by Mario Beraha 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vi segnalo il seguente seminario in presenza presso l’università di Milano-Bicocca. 4 giugno 2025, ore 12:00, Aula Seminario 2104, Edificio U7, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8, Milano. Speaker: Amichai Painsky, Tel Aviv University Title: Large Alphabet Inference Abstract: Consider a finite sample from an unknown distribution over a large alphabet. Making inference in a large alphabet regime is a fundamental problem in statistics and related fields, which entails several basic challenges. For example, how accurately can we infer the parameters of events that do not appear in the sample? What can we say about the most frequent events in the sample? The entire underlying distribution? In this talk we introduce a novel inference scheme that tackles these challenging problems. Our proposed framework applies selective inference, as we construct confidence intervals (CIs) for the desired set of parameters. Interestingly, we show that obtained CIs are dimension-free, as they do not grow with the alphabet size. Further, we show that our CIs are (almost) tight, in the sense that they cannot be further improved without violating the prescribed coverage rate.

Short courses in GSSI trimester
by Lu Xu 27 May '25

27 May '25

Dear colleagues and friends, we are glad to announce the forthcoming short courses and seminar in GSSI in June: June 3-5 (short cours) & June 6 (seminar): Prof. Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) June 10-12: Prof. Lenya Ryzhik (Stanford) Please see at the end of the email for the detailed information. Registration is free through the web form: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found here: https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/. We would be grateful if you could circulate the announcement among potentially interested students and researchers. For any information do not hesitate to contact us (patterns(a)gssi.it<mailto:patterns@gssi.it>). ———————————————— Venue: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) ———————————————— Matter and topology: an overview Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) 3/6 (Tue) 14:15-15:45 5/6 (Thu) 14:15-15:45 6/6 (Fri) 09:00-10:45 Topological insulators are materials that are conducting at their edge, though not in the bulk. Their essential physical properties are encoded by an index. After reviewing the historical origins, and the Quantum Hall effect in particular, the appropriate indices will be discussed (Chern numbers, index of a pair of projections), as well as bulk-edge correspondence. Thereafter symmetry protected topological insulators will be addressed. The focus will be on symmetries like time-reversal and particle-hole conjugation and, correspondingly, on the Quantum Spin Hall effect and Majorana zero modes in superconductors, in physical dimensions d=2 and 1, respectively. More broadly, the Kitaev table describes the kind of indices that occur in relation to many more symmetries, in any dimension d, and its derivation will be treated. Special topics beyond the above framework, such as time-dependent systems (Floquet or quantum pumps) or classical systems (hydrodynamics) may occur too, as time permits. ———————————————— SMAQ Seminar: Adiabatic charge pumps and Galilei covariance Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) 6/6 (Fri) 14:00-15:30 The Thouless theory of quantum pumps establishes quantized transport per cycle and determines the necessary conditions. When the description is shifted to a moving reference frame, as suggested by recent experiments on ultracold gases, transported and residing charges mix. That transformation is encoded in Galilean space and time, but underlying it is one of vector bundles that may be described in a number of ways, that may or may not rely on Bloch theory. In one of them, the transformation mixes strong and weak indices of a bundle on a 2-torus; in another one, a 3-torus is at center stage; in yet another one, and somewhat informal way, the transformation is related to a paradox that astonished seafarers of centuries past. Joint work with T. Esslinger and F. Santi. ———————————————— Branching Brownian motion and knowledge diffusion: from Fisher-KPP to MFG Lenya Ryzhik (Stanford) 10/6 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 11/6 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 & 16:15-17:45 12/6 (Thu) 16:15-17:45 We will first discuss the general connection, via the voting models, between the branching Brownian motion (BBM) and the Fisher-KPP and other semilinear parabolic equations. This connection, together with the long time asymptotics of the solutions, allows, in particular, to deduce some fine properties of BBM, such as the law of large numbers and fluctuations of the limiting process near the maximum of BBM. In the second half of the lectures, we will discuss some knowledge diffusion models that arise in macroeconomics and lead to mean-field game type of problems that are also related to non-local Fisher-KPP equations. ———————————————— With our best wishes, Lu Xu Assistant Professor (RTDb) Gran Sasso Science Institute
