Next OWPS on June 21st: Maria Eulàlia Vares and Daniel Valesin
by Alberto Chiarini 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 21st of June from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). We have the pleasure of introducing our next speakers: Maria Eulàlia Vares (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) and Daniel Valesin (University of Warwick) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Maria Eulàlia Vares and Daniel Valesin Title: Renewal contact process and contact process on dynamic random environments Abstract: In the first part of this talk, we will present recent progress on alternate versions of the Harris contact process, where we allow some aspect of the dynamics (transmissions or recoveries) to be governed by a general renewal process. In this case, several of the tools employed in the study of the classical process no longer apply, and new ones are required. We present conditions on the inter-arrival distribution of the renewal process that ensure survival or extinction of the infection. In the second part, we switch to a model introduced by Linker and Remenik (2020), namely the (classical) contact process evolving on a dynamical graph given by dynamic bond percolation on the edges of Z^d (the environment is thus defined by the percolation density p and the edge update rate v). Their work contains several interesting results about this model, including a result in dimension one that we extend to higher dimensions. This result states that, for any fixed value of the percolation density p below the critical threshold and the contact infection rate lambda, the infection dies out if the edge update rate v is small enough. Joint works with Luiz Renato Fontes (USP), Marcelo Hilário (UFMG), Domingos Marchetti (USP), Thomas Mountford (EPFL), Daniel Ungaretti (UFRJ).

Seminario di Sandra Cerrai al Politecnico di Milano
by Giuseppina Guatteri 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

Si avvisa che in data 22/06/2023, alle ore 15:30 precise, Aula Seminari III piano, dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative della sezione di Probabilità, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: An asymptotic approach to SPDEs on graphs Sandra Cerrai, University of Maryland Abstract: I will present some results about the asymptotic behavior of a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion-advection equations in the plane. I will show that as the divergence-free advection term becomes larger the solutions of such equations converge to the solution of a suitable stochastic PDE defined on the graph associated with the Hamiltonian. I will deal with the case when the stochastic perturbation is given by a singular spatially homogeneous Wiener process taking values in the space of Schwartz distributions. As in previous works, I will assume that the derivative of the period of the motion on the level sets of the Hamiltonian does not vanish. Time permitting, without assuming this condition on the derivative of the period, I will study a weaker type of convergence for the solutions of a suitable class of linear SPDEs. È gradita la sua partecipazione. Cordiali saluti.

Il giorno 13 giugno alle ore 10.30, Aula Di Fresco (quarto piano della facoltà di Economia Sapienza) Il prof. Roderick Little, University of Michigan, terrà un seminario dal titolo *Some Reflections on Rosenbaum and Rubin’s Propensity Score Paper* Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è fruibile anche on line collegandosi alla pagina https://web.uniroma1.it/memotef/aule-e-laboratori-memotef-didattica e cliccando su *Link studente* in corrispondenza dell’*Aula di Fresco* *Abstract * Rosenbaum and Rubin’s paper is highly cited because the basic idea is simple and insightful, and it has applications to important practical problems in treatment comparisons with observational data, and selection bias and nonresponse in surveys. I discuss several issues related to the method, including the use of the propensity score for weighting or prediction, and two robust methods that use the propensity score as a covariate and can be more efficient than weighting when the weights are highly variable, namely Penalized Spline of Propensity Prediction (PSPP) and Penalized Spline of Propensity for Treatment Comparisons (PENCOMP). Approaches to addressing highly variable weights are discussed, including omitting variables in the propensity model that are unrelated to outcomes and redefining the estimand. -- ============================================ Brunero Liseo *Dip. di metodi e modelli per il territorio, l'economia e la finanza * *Sapienza Università di Roma* *Viale Castro Laurenziano, 9 Roma I-00161 *Tel. +39 06 49766973 Fax +39 06 4957606 *https://sites.google.com/a/uniroma1.it/brulis/home <https://sites.google.com/a/uniroma1.it/brulis/home>* ============================================ -- -- **Fai crescere le giovani ricercatrici e i giovani ricercatori* **con il 5 per mille alla Sapienza *Scrivi il codice fiscale dell'Università *80209930587 Cinque per mille <https://www.uniroma1.it/it/node/23149>*

Seminario di Giorgio Cipolloni a Roma Tre il 20 giugno alle 14
by Pietro Caputo 07 Jun '23

07 Jun '23

Martedì 20 giugno 2023 alle ore 14:00, Aula 211 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1- 00146 Roma. Speaker: Giorgio Cipolloni (Princeton Center for Theoretical Science) Title: Quantum Unique Ergodicity and its fluctuations for Wigner matrices. Abstract: We prove that the eigenvectors of Wigner matrices satisfy the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), which is a strong form of Quantum Unique Ergodicity (QUE) with optimal speed of convergence. Then, using this a priori bound as an input, we analyze the Stochastic Eigenstate Equation (SEE) and prove a Wigner matrix analog of the Berry random wave conjecture.

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: *A geometric approach to deriving and numerically integrating models with transport-type noise in geophysical fluid dynamics.* by *Erwin Luesink *(Imperial College London) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 13.06.2023* at *14:00 CET* in Aula Volterra, Scuola Normale Superiore (please note the unusual venue) and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass --------------------------------------- Abstract: *In this talk I will discuss how the framework of geometric continuum mechanics can be made stochastic by introducing the stochastic Euler-Poincare theorem. This naturally leads to noise of transport type in fluid dynamics while maintaining geometric invariants, such as the enstrophy in two-dimensional ideal fluids. In special cases, it is possible to discretise the equations of motion while preserving most of the structure, which provides strong numerical evidence for Kraichnan’s double cascade conjecture in two-dimensional incompressible fluids. I will also discuss some recent progress for the quasi-geostrophic equations.*

announcement Vienna WPI Workshop- looking for contributed speakers
by Viktoria Schildhammer 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to announce the following workshop “Stochastics, Statistics, Machine Learning and their Applications to Sustainable Finance and Energy Markets” taking place at the Wolfgang Pauli Institute (WPI) in Vienna, Austria from the 11.09.2023-14.09.2023 (https://wpi.univie.ac.at/). The workshop aims at bringing together an interdisciplinary group of leading researches with interest in stochastic methods for sustainable finance and energy markets. Particular emphasis will be given to Environmental Social Governance (ESG) finance, climate/weather modeling, optimal control problems and optimal contract theory e.g. in view of fostering renewable energy sources The workshop starts on September 11, 2023, with two graduate courses held by Roxana Dumitrescu and Matheus Grasselli in the areas of green finance, climate modeling, renewables in energy markets and optimal control. The graduate courses are meant for Phd and advanced Master students and roughly correspond to 1 ECTS. A background in probability theory, applied stochastic processes, and statistics is recommended. These courses are then followed by 3 full conference days. The goal is to provide a platform for exchanging new ideas among different research communities and initiate interdisciplinary collaborations. In particular a dedicated time for discussions will be scheduled on each day of the workshop. Beside the keynote speakers, there will be a limited amount of slots for contributed talks. We thus invite interested researchers including Phd students to present their recent work at the workshop. If you would like to give a contributed talk, please send the title and abstract in a plain text email to: wpi-stostaml.2023(a)univie.ac.at The submission deadline is 10.06.2023.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 9 Giugno 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Claudia Strauch* (Aarhus University, Denmark) Title: *On nonparametric approaches to stochastic control* Abstract: Theoretical solutions to stochastic optimal control problems are well understood in many scenarios; however, their practicability suffers from the assumption of known dynamics of the underlying stochastic process. This raises the challenge of developing purely data-driven strategies, which we explore for ergodic singular control problems associated to continuous diffusions and Lévy processes. In particular, we describe the specific statistical challenges arising in the stochastic control context, and we provide a brief overview of the current state-of-the-art for nonparametric inference of scalar and multidimensional diffusion processes. Finally, we show how these findings translate into exact rates of convergence of polynomial order for the regret for the considered control problems. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86072582856?pwd=c3RveWVHTjdzTERiVnFra3RpVWJTQT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Next OWPS on June 7th: Kavita Ramanan (Brown University)
by Alberto Chiarini 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 7th of June from 15:00 - 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speaker is: Kavita Ramanan (Brown University) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Kavita Ramanan (Brown University) Title: Large Deviations Principles for Interacting Particle Systems on Locally Tree-Like Graphs Abstract: Interacting particle systems are models of collections of particles with random states whose direct interactions are local with respect to an underlying (possibly random) graph. The study of the large deviations behavior of these systems in the mean-field case, namely when the underlying interaction graph is the complete graph, has been well understood for almost four decades. In contrast, the setting of sparse random graphs is not as well understood. Just as Sanov's theorem plays a key role in the study of the mean-field case, it turns out that a key ingredient in the sparse random graphs setting is a tractable characterization of the large deviations rate function for component empirical measures of locally tree-like marked random graph sequences. The first part of this lecture will first provide background and then present a self-contained description of this LDP. The second part will focus on applications of this LDP to interacting particle systems. The lectures are based on joint works with I-Hsun Chen and Sarath Yasodharan.

seminario Federico Sau (Sapienza, 6 Giugno)
by Matteo Quattropani 29 May '23

29 May '23

Salve a tutti, Segnalo il seguente seminario, che avrà luogo Martedì 6 Giugno alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza): Speaker: Federico Sau (Università di Trieste) Title: Spectral gap of the symmetric inclusion process. Abstract: In this talk, we consider the symmetric inclusion process on a general finite graph. Our main result establishes universal upper and lower bounds for the spectral gap of this interacting particle system in terms of the spectral gap of the random walk on the same graph. In the regime in which the gamma-like reversible measures of the particle system are log-concave, our bounds match, yielding a version for the symmetric inclusion process of the celebrated Aldous' spectral gap conjecture --- originally formulated for the interchange process and proved by Caputo, Liggett and Richthammer (JAMS 2010). Finally, by means of duality techniques, we draw analogous conclusions for an interacting diffusion-like unbounded conservative spin system known as Brownian energy process, which may be interpreted as a spatial version of the Wright-Fisher diffusion with mutation. Based on a joint work with Seonwoo Kim (SNU, South Korea). Saluti, Matteo Quattropani

Recruiting PhDs for tutoring at AIMS
by Julia Mortera 25 May '23

25 May '23

The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) centres are unique postgraduate educational centres recruiting students from the whole of Africa and preparing them for careers in the quantitative sciences. The current network has centres in South Africa (since 2003), Senegal (since 2011), Ghana (since 2012) Cameroon (October 2013) and Rwanda (2016). The AIMS programme is a 10-month course, intended to prepare African graduates with mathematically-based degrees for postgraduate study and employment. To achieve this, AIMS Cameroon (located in Limbe, Cameroon) is seeking enthusiastic individuals with backgrounds in mathematical sciences (including pure and applied mathematics, statistics and data science, physics, computer science, mathematical biology and other fields) who would like to volunteer as tutor, starting from September 2023. The call is open to PhD students, holding or approaching completion of a PhD is an advantage. The minimum requirement is an M.Sc at distinction level. Applicants should provide evidence of experience of teaching university mathematics, including marking and providing constructive feedback, good communication and social skills, as well as administrative and time management competence. Tutoring at an AIMS centre is a great opportunity to meet and work closely with prestigious scientists from around the world. Indeed, outstanding lecturers are recruited from all over the world to teach a one-year Master’s degree in mathematical sciences preparing students for advanced postgraduate research. The course is unusually broad in scope and employs the latest pedagogical method in order to stimulate critical and creative thinking. This is a unique opportunity for tutors to gain significant experience in teaching in higher education given that there is currently no school preparing teachers for higher education worldwide. Travel, visa, accommodation expenses and meals will be covered by AIMS Cameroon. The tutor will also receive a monthly stipend. Statisticians and data scientists can contact e.lawford(a)rss.org.uk for informal discussions. To submit an application, candidates should email their CV with at least two references, a statement letter of no more than 500 words to the AIMS-Cameroon academic team at academia-ml(a)aims-cameroon.org. In the letter, the applicant should state the period of their availability and provide evidence of what makes them an ideal candidate by drawing from their experience and qualifications. -- Julia Mortera Honorary Professor, University of Bristol Professor of Statistics, Università Roma Tre Web page:https://juliamortera.wordpress.com/

SPASS Seminar: Francesco Mattesini
by Andrea Agazzi 25 May '23

25 May '23

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: *Annealed quantitative estimates for the 2D-discrete random matching problem* by *Francesco Mattesini* (MPI Leipzig) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 30.05.2023* at *14:00 CET* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass --------------------------------------- Abstract: The optimal matching problem is a classical random variational problem which may be interpreted as an optimal transport problem between two random discrete measures. Its easier instance deals with matching 2 n-clouds of i. i. d. uniformly distributed points. In recent years Caracciolo-Lucibello-Parisi-Sicuro made exact predictions on the convergence of the rescaled cost thanks to a first order linearization of the Monge-Amp\'ere equation. This approach was later justified by Ambrosio-Stra-Trevisan and quantitative bounds for the convergence of the proxies were later shown by Ambrosio-Glaudo-Trevisan. Such techniques have been repurposed by Benedetto-Caglioti to study the case of i. i. d. random points with non-constant densities. By subadditivity and PDE arguments Ambrosio-Goldman-Trevisan were able to justify the latter for the convergence of the rescaled cost. We show annealed quantitative upper bounds for the approximating transport map in the case of i. i. d. points and weakly correlated points with non-constant densities. We extend our results to the case of unbalanced matching, i. e. matching between point clouds of different size and to point clouds sampled from a positive recurrent Markov chain. Joint work with N. Clozeau (IST Austria).

More details: • Speaker: Katia Colaneri (email: katia.colaneri(a)uniroma2.it <mailto:katia.colaneri@uniroma2.it>) Title: Some Optimisation Problems in Insurance with a Terminal Distribution Constraint Abstract: In this paper, we study two optimisation settings for an insurance company, under the constraint that the terminal surplus at a deterministic and finite time T follows a normal distribution with a given mean and a given variance. In both cases, the surplus of the insurance company is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. First, we allow the insurance company to pay dividends and seek to maximise the expected discounted dividend payments or to minimise the ruin probability under the terminal distribution constraint. Here, we find explicit expressions for the optimal strategies in both cases, when the dividend strategy is updated at discrete points in time and continuously in time. Second, we let the insurance company buy a reinsurance contract for a pool of insured or a branch of business. We only allow for piecewise constant reinsurance strategies producing a normally distributed terminal surplus, whose mean and variance lead to a given Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall at some confidence level α. We investigate the question which admissible reinsurance strategy produces a smaller ruin probability, if the ruin-checks are due at discrete deterministic points in time. This presentation is based on a joint work with Julia Eisenberg (TU Vienna) and Benedetta Salterini (University of Firenze) Seminar venue: University of Milano-Bicocca Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods Aula Seminari 4026, 4th floor, Building U7 January 25th, 4:30 pm Webex Link : https://unimib.webex.com/unimib/j.php?MTID=m40cd4bb0d7bb8035ca68f3821f453b33 <https://unimib.webex.com/unimib/j.php?MTID=m40cd4bb0d7bb8035ca68f3821f453b33> Join by meeting number Meeting number (access code): 2743 983 3965 Meeting password: c2uJfPBVe83 (22853728 from phones) Best regards, Valeria

Corso di dottorato di Amine Asselah in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 22 May '23

22 May '23

Si annuncia il corso di dottorato su *Random Walks e Branching Random Walks* del professor Amine Asselah (università di Parigi-Est Créteil) presso il dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma. Si riportano l’abstract e il calendario, in allegato il programma dettagliato. Si prega di diffondere l’annuncio a possibili interessati. Per essere inseriti nella mailing list del corso e essere aggiornati su possibili variazioni del calendario si prega di inviare un'email a lorenzo.taggi(a)uniroma1.it *ABSTRACT:* Simple Random Walk is the first example of a Markovian process, whereas Branching Random Walk has a time indexed by a random tree, and looses the SRW’s sequential way of visiting space. The highlights of the course would be two phenomena in high dimensions linked with folding. - The chances that two independent walks meet for a long time. - The chances that two independent branching walks both visit a large region, and this is to be discovered during the course. We plan to have self-contained lectures (with little pre-requisites), and will start with reviewing useful facts (classical and not) on random walks. *CALENDARIO:* Tutte le lezioni hanno luogo dalle 11:00 alle 13:00 presso il dipartimento di Matematica in aula B nei seguenti giorni: Lez. 1: lunedì 29/5 Lez. 2: giovedì 1/6 Lez. 3: giovedì 8/6 Lez. 4: venerdì 9/6 Lez. 5: lunedì 12/6 Lez. 6: giovedì 15/6 Lez. 7: lunedì 19/6 Lez. 8: giovedì 22/6

seminario Francois Baccelli 24 maggio
by Daniela De Canditiis 21 May '23

21 May '23

Buongiorno a tutti, il prossimo appuntamento del ciclo Seminari generali IAC si terrà Mercoledì 24 Maggio ore 14:30 sul Canale Youtube Cnr-IAC al link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgsmwZg7eAg con Francois Baccelli Title High dimensional stochastic geometry in the Shannon regime Abstract This talk will focus on Euclidean stochastic geometry in the Shannon regime. In this regime, the dimension n of space tends to infinity, point processes have intensities which are exponential functions of n, and the random compact sets have diameters of order square root of n. Three basic models of stochastic geometry based on Poisson processes will be considered: the Boolean model, the Poisson-Voronoi tessellation and the Poisson hyperplane tessellation. We will show how to calculate the asymptotic behavior of the classical quantities of stochastic geometry for these three models in the Shannon regime: for the Boolean model, the volume fraction, the percolation threshold or the size of the connected components; for tessellations, statistics of geometric properties of cells (volume, diameter, etc.). These questions are motivated by problems in information theory, including the calculation of error exponents for channel coding based on random codes and calculating the distortion in the one-bit compression-based source coding. Survey of work in collaboration with Venkat Anantharam (UC Berkeley) and Eliza O'Reilly (Caltech).

SPASS Seminar: Francesco Russo
by Andrea Agazzi 19 May '23

19 May '23

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: *Semimartingales with jumps, weak Dirichlet processes and path-dependent martingale problems* by *Francesco Russo* (ENSTA-Paris) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 23.05.2023* at *14:00 CET* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: In this talk we will revisit the notion of weak Dirichlet process which is the natural extension of semimartingale with jumps. If X is such a process, then it is the sum of a local martingale M and a martingale ortogonal process A in the sense that [A, N] = 0 for every continuous local martingale N . We remark that if [A] = 0 then X is a Dirichlet process. The notion of Dirichlet process is not very suitable in the jump case since in this case A is forced to be continuous.The talk will discuss the following points.1. To provide a (unique) decomposition which is also new for semimartingales with jumps.2. To discuss some new stability theorem for weak Dirichlet processes through C^{0,1} transformations.3. To discuss various examples of such processes arising from path-dependent martingale problems. This includes path-dependent stochastic differential equations involving a distributional drift and with jumps.The talk is based on a joint paper with E. Bandini (Bologna).*

Seminar: Rongfeng Sun at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 18 May '23

18 May '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, May 24th, at 14h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual place! Aula 2001 is on the top floor of the Math Department, close to the copy shop) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Rongfeng Sun (NUS Singapore) with the seminar “A new correlation inequality for Ising models with external fields" Abstract: We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the external field is identically 0. One corollary is that spin-spin correlation is maximised when the external field vanishes. In particular, the random field Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, exhibits exponential decay of correlations in the entire high temperature regime of the pure Ising model. Another corollary is that the pure Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, satisfies the conjectured strong spatial mixing property in the entire high temperature regime. Based on joint work with Jian Ding and Jian Song. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Seminario di Davide Gabrielli alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 17 May '23

17 May '23

Buongiorno, Martedì 23 Maggio alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza) avrà luogo il seguente seminario: Speaker: Davide Gabrielli (Università dell'Aquila) Title: HIDDEN TEMPERATURE IN THE KIPNIS-MARCHIORO-PRESUTTI MODEL Abstract: Stationary non equilibrium states (SNS) have a rich and complex structure. The large deviations rate functionals for the empirical measure of a few one dimensional SNS of stochastic interacting systems have been computed, among which the boundary driven exclusion process and Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model. The corresponding rate functionals are not local due to the presence of long range correlations. We show for the KMP model that this can be explained by introducing new variables that can be interpreted naturally as the temperatures of the oscillators that are exchanging the energies. When two oscillators exchange energy they thermalize at the same time. We deduce that the invariant measure of the boundary driven KMP model is a mixture of inhomogeneous products of exponential distributions, the law of the mixture is the invariant measure of the auxiliary temperature process. This is a joint work with Anna De Masi and Pablo Ferrari. We show moreover that a similar representation of the invariant measure holds also for the boundary driven harmonic model; in this case the hidden variables are distributed according to the order statistics of uniform random variables. This is a joint work with G. Carinci, C. Franceschini, C. Giardinà and D. Tsagkarogiannis.

Padova seminars in Probability and Finance- Alice Callegaro (TU Munich and Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz)

16 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on May 26 at 14.30 at the Math Department of Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Seminars in Probability and Finance *Speaker:* Alice Callegaro (TU Munich and Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz) *Title:* Survival and complete convergence for a branching annihilating random walk *Date and time*: Friday, May 26, 2023 at 14.30 *Place*: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link:* https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88429828028 (Meeting ID 884 2982 8028 ) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract:* We study a branching annihilating random walk (BARW) in which particles move on the discrete lattice in discrete generations. Each particle produces a poissonian number of offspring which independently move to a uniformly chosen site within a fixed distance from their parent's position. Whenever a site is occupied by at least two particles, all the particles at that site are annihilated. This can be thought of as a very strong form of local competition and implies that the system is not monotone. For certain ranges of the parameters of the model we show that the system dies out almost surely or, on the other hand, survives with positive probability. In an even more restricted parameter range we strengthen the survival results to complete convergence with a non-trivial invariant measure. A central tool in the proof is comparison with oriented percolation on a coarse-grained level, using carefully tuned density profiles which expand in time and are reminiscent of discrete travelling wave solutions. Based on a joint work with Matthias Birkner (JGU Mainz), Jiří Černý (University of Basel), Nina Gantert (TU Munich) and Pascal Oswald (University of Basel/JGU Mainz). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

5th International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining -- Call for Papers
by REGOLI DANIELE 16 May '23

16 May '23

XKDD 2023 - Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th ECML-PKDD International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Torino, 18th September 2023 http://xkdd2023.isti.cnr.it/ (co-located with the ECML-PKDD 2023 conference https://2023.ecmlpkdd.org/) CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES In the past decade, machine learning based decision systems have been widely used in a wide range of application domains, like credit score, insurance risk, and health monitoring, in which accuracy is of the utmost importance. Although the support of these systems has an immense potential to improve the decision in different fields, their use may present ethical and legal risks, such as codifying biases, jeopardizing transparency and privacy, and reducing accountability. Unfortunately, these risks arise in different applications. They are made even more serious and subtly by the opacity of recent decision support systems, which are often complex and their internal logic is usually inaccessible to humans. Nowadays, most Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are based on Machine Learning algorithms. The relevance and need for ethics in AI are supported and highlighted by various initiatives arising from the researches to provide recommendations and guidelines in the direction of making AI-based decision systems explainable and compliant with legal and ethical issues. These include the EU's GDPR regulation which introduces, to some extent, a right for all individuals to obtain ``meaningful explanations of the logic involved'' when automated decision making takes place, the ``ACM Statement on Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability'', the Informatics Europe's ``European Recommendations on Machine-Learned Automated Decision Making'' and ``The ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI'' provided by the EU High-Level Expert Group on AI. The challenge to design and develop trustworthy AI-based decision systems is still open and requires a joint effort across technical, legal, sociological and ethical domains. The purpose of XKDD, eXaplaining Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining, is to encourage principled research that will lead to the advancement of explainable, transparent, ethical and fair data mining and machine learning. Also, this year the workshop will seek submissions addressing uncovered important issues in specific fields related to eXplainable AI (XAI), such as XAI for a more Social and Responsible AI, XAI as a tool to align AI with human values, XAI for Outlier and Anomaly Detection, quantitative and qualitative evaluation of XAI approaches, and XAI case studies. The workshop will seek top-quality submissions related to ethical, fair, explainable and transparent data mining and machine learning approaches. Papers should present research results in any of the topics of interest for the workshop, as well as tools and promising preliminary ideas. XKDD asks for contributions from researchers, academia and industries, working on topics addressing these challenges primarily from a technical point of view but also from a legal, ethical or sociological perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: TOPICS - XAI for Social AI - XAI for Responsible AI - XAI to Align AI with Human Values - XAI for Outlier and Anomaly Detection - Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of XAI approaches - Transparent-by Design Models - XAI Case studies - XAI for Privacy-Preserving Systems - XAI for Federated Learning - XAI for Time Series based Approaches - XAI for Graph based Approaches - XAI for Visualization - XAI in Human-Machine Interaction - XAI in Human-in-the-Loop Interactions - Counterfactual Explanations - Human-Model Interfaces for XAI approaches - Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) - Interpretable Machine Learning - Transparent Data Mining - XAI for Fairness Checking - Explanation, Accountability and Liability from an Ethical and Legal Perspective Also, the XKDD 2023 edition is co-organized with DynXAI - Explainable Artificial Intelligence: From Static to Dynamic. SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION All contributions will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. As regards size, contributions can be up to is 14 pages references excluded in LNCS format, i.e., the ECML PKDD 2023 submission format. All papers should be written in English. The following kinds of submissions will be considered: research papers, tool papers, case study papers and position papers.

SPASS Seminar: Silvia Morlacchi

13 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Effect of Transport Noise on Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability* Silvia Morlacchi (Scuola Normale Superiore) The seminar will take place on TUE, 16.5.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *We numerically investigate the effect of transport noise on the Kelvin- Helmholtz instability at the interface of two 2D fluids in a shear flow, to test if the transport noise acts as a stabilizing factor.We exploit the point vortex method as a numerical discretization of the fluid equation of motion. We compare the results of the simulations in three different cases: inviscid and viscous fluid without transport noise, and inviscid fluid perturbed by transport noise. We find that when the transport noise is modeled by a large number of low-intensity point vortices, a delay in the temporal onset of the instability is present in the non viscous case, which resembles what happens in the viscous case.Based on joint work with Franco Flandoli and Andrea Papini.*

Seminar: Daniele Calandriello at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 12 May '23

12 May '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, May 17th, at 12h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual time and place! Aula 2001 is on the top floor of the Math Department, close to the copy shop) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Daniele Calandriello (Google Deep Mind, Paris) with the seminar “Efficient exploration in stochastic environments" Abstract: Machine learning has seen an explosive growth recently, driven mostly by breakthroughs in classification and generative models. However ML applications in decision making settings are much more limited, where data collection is much higher and ML models must be sufficiently robust and accurate to deal with unforeseen consequences and avoid worst case scenarios. In this talk we will introduce some classical results for online decision making in stochastic linear spaces, with applications to active learning, bandit/bayesian optimization and deep learning. Starting from a rigorous analysis of the noise propagation we can formulate provably robust (i.e. no-regret) algorithms, and then create variants that can scale to modern ML data regimes without sacrificing safety. And if time suffice, we will highlight how these approaches inspired a new wave of exploration techniques to enable reinforcement learning agents to solve extremely long horizon tasks. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, there will be a Teams link on our webpage published before the start of the talk. The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV. Next appointment will be 24.05.2023 - Rongfeng Sun (NUS, Singapore), see the details on next events at https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php.

Next OWPS on May 24th: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL)
by Alberto Chiarini 12 May '23

12 May '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 24th of May from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speaker is: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title: A new approach to the cutoff phenomenon Abstract: The cutoff phenomenon is an abrupt transition from out of equilibrium to equilibrium undergone by certain Markov processes in the limit where the size of the state space tends to infinity. Discovered forty years ago in the context of card shuffling, it has since then been observed in a variety of examples, from random walks on random graphs to high-temperature spin glasses. Nevertheless, a general theory is still missing, and identifying the precise mechanisms that underlie this phase transition remains one of the biggest challenges in the quantitative analysis of finite Markov chains. In the first part of the lecture, I will try to provide a self-contained introduction to this fascinating question. In the second part, I will describe a new approach based on entropy and curvature, which has recently led to a systematic proof of cutoff for a relatively broad class of chains.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 12 May '23

12 May '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The CREDIT 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The CREDIT 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The CREDIT 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting.

Seminar in Statistics - REGINA LIU

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Mercoledi 10 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Regina Liu* (Rutgers University, USA) Title: *Fusion Learning: Combining Inferences from Diverse Data Sources* Abstract: Advanced data collection technology nowadays has often made inferences from diverse data sources easily accessible. Fusion learning refers to combining inferences from multiple sources or studies to make a more effective overall inference than that from any individual source or study alone. We focus on the tasks: 1) Whether/When to combine inferences? 2) How to combine inferences efficiently? 3) How to combine inference to enhance an individual or target study? We present a general framework for nonparametric and efficient fusion learning for inference on multi-parameters, which may be correlated. The main tool underlying this framework is the new notion of depth confidence distribution (depth-CD), which is developed by combining data depth, bootstrap and confidence distributions. We show that a depth-CD is an omnibus form of confidence regions, whose contours of level sets shrink toward the true parameter value, and thus an all-encompassing inferential tool. The approach is shown to be efficient, general and robust. It readily applies to heterogeneous studies with a broad range of complex and irregular settings. This property also enables the approach to utilize indirect evidence from incomplete studies to gain efficiency for the overall inference. The approach will be shown with simulation studies and real applications in aircraft landing performance tracking and in financial forecasting. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89011414757?pwd=M2xDT3g1cy9kNm50REdoYUEzdU9sdz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Giovedi 11 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Matteo Sesia* (University of Southern California) Title: *Testing for outliers with conformal p-values* Abstract: This talk discusses the construction of provably valid frequentist p-values for nonparametric outlier detection, taking a multiple-testing perspective. The goal is to test whether new independent samples belong to the same distribution as a reference data set or are outliers. We study a solution based on conformal inference, a broadly applicable framework which yields p-values that are marginally valid in finite samples but are mutually dependent for different test points. We prove these p-values are positively dependent and enable exact false discovery rate control, although in a relatively weak marginal sense. We then introduce a new method to compute p-values that are both valid conditionally on the training data and independent of each other for different test points; this paves the way to stronger type-I error guarantees. Finally, we discuss how to further boost power by leveraging a separate data set of known outliers with an approach inspired by weighted hypothesis testing. The practical relevance of our results is demonstrated by numerical experiments on real and simulated data. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88278987175?pwd=NXhNM3dYd1hrT0JMT2p1N2syU1J2dz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Webinar Prisma 8 maggio Beghin-Cammarota
by Claudia Ceci 06 May '23

06 May '23

Buongiorno a tutt* ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html). *Lunedì 8 maggio 2023* *ore 16-17 Luisa Beghin * *Title*: Non-local differential operators in probability *Abstract* The study of nonlocal differential operators is an active field of research in pure and applied mathematics and has been drawing increasing attention over the last few years. Fractional-order operators (i.e. integrals and derivatives of non-integer order) are maybe the most famous and studied in the literature. Their origin goes back to the end of the seventeenth century, but only recently they have been applied to a variety of fields ranging from biology to engineering, probability theory, physics, image processing among others. In this talk, we will concentrate our attention on the stochastic applications of non-local operators, in particular in the theory of anomalous diffusions and renewal processes. *ore 17-18 Valentina Cammarota* *Title*: On the Correlation of Critical Points and Angular Trispectrum for Random Spherical Harmonics. *Abstract* We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the Critical Points of Random Spherical Harmonics, in the High-Energy Limit. The result is a consequence of a deeper characterizations of the total number of critical points, which are shown to be asymptotically fully correlated with the sample trispectrum, i.e., the integral of the fourth Hermite polynomial evaluated on the eigenfunctions themselves. As a consequence, the total number of critical points and the nodal length are fully correlated for random spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit.

Seminario Veronica Berrocal presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 05 May '23

05 May '23

Si avvisa che in data 05-05-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX con il patrocinio di GRASPA https://graspa.org si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Veronica Berrocal, University of California, Irvine Titolo: Bayesian non-stationary spatial modeling via domain partitioning, with application to soil organic carbon Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) or the carbon found in soil’s organic matter is an important component in the Earth’s carbon cycle and can help mitigate the negative consequences of climate change. Because of its broad relevance to climate and agriculture, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommended that the spatial distribution of SOC be carefully monitored. Due to time and cost constraints, spatially-referenced measurements of SOC or “stocks”, e.g. the amount of SOC in a volume, are available only at limited locations. In this talk I will present two Bayesian non-stationary statistical models for SOC with the goal of understanding spatial variability and dependence in SOC for sampling and spatial prediction of SOC. Both approaches model SOC by assuming that the process is globally non-stationary but locally stationary with regions of stationarity identified using different strategies. In one approach, the regions are defined as partitions of the spatial domain where spatially-varying covariates are more homogeneous; in the other, the regions are defined as subsets of the spatial domain with varying strength of spatial dependence. I will show that inference and SOC predictions yielded by our models are valuable for sampling design and to decision makers, in that they can be used to better benchmark mechanistic models and identify targets for soil restoration projects.

Seminar: N. Turchi at Sapienza [11 May]
by Anna Paola Todino 05 May '23

05 May '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar, which will be held in person and online streaming: Speaker: Nicola Turchi (Università di Milano-Bicocca) Title: Comparing the min-max of two Gaussian random matrices (Abstract below) Date and Time: Thursday May 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula 24, Dip. di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Roma. link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09> ID riunione: 942 4880 8208 Passcode: 337504 Best regards, Anna Paola Todino ————————— Abstract: We compute quantitative bounds for measuring the discrepancy between the distribution of two min-max statistics involving either pairs of Gaussian random matrices, or one Gaussian and one Gaussian-subordinated random matrix. In the fully Gaussian setup, our approach allows us to recover quantitative versions of well-known inequalities by Gordon, thus generalising the quantitative version of the Sudakov-Fernique inequality deduced by Chatterjee. On the other hand, the Gaussian-subordinated case yields generalizations of estimates obtained in the framework of the CCK theory. As applications, we establish comparison bounds for order statistics of random vectors and fourth moment bounds for matrices of multiple stochastic Wiener-Itô integrals. Based on a joint work with G. Peccati. ——————————————————— Anna Paola Todino Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma

(PMS)^2 talk: J.-D. Deuschel [4 May] at UniMIB
by Maurizia Rossi 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: *Jean-Dominique Deuschel* (TU Berlin) *Title: *An isomorphism theorem for Ginzburg-Landau interface models and scaling limits. (See Abstract below.) *Date and Time:* Thursday May 4, 16:30-17:30 (Rome time zone). Place: *Aula 3014, Dip. di Matematica e Applicazioni, Univ. di Milano-Bicocca*, Via R. Cozzi 55, Milano. *Webex link:* https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=mc07da73e64ea2eb0da78975bc808… *Meeting number:* 2741 491 0178*Password: *HPxNQASR579 (47967277 for phones) %%%%%%%%%% *Abstract: *We introduce a natural measure on bi-infinite random walk trajectories evolving in a time-dependent environment driven by the Langevin dynamics associated with a gradient Gibbs measure with convex potential. We derive an identity relating the occupation times of the Poissonian cloud induced by this measure to the square of the corresponding gradient field, which - generically - is not Gaussian. In the quadratic case, we recover a well-known generalization of the second Ray-Knight theorem. We further determine the scaling limits of the various objects involved in dimension 3, which are seen to exhibit homogenization. In particular, we prove that the renormalized square of the gradient field converges under appropriate rescaling to the Wick-ordered square of a Gaussian free field on R^3 with suitable diffusion matrix, thus extending a celebrated result of Naddaf and Spencer regarding the scaling limit of the field itself. (Based on joint work with Pierre-François Rodriguez.) %%%%%%%%%%% This talk is part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

I will review several models that consist of one-dimensional loops living in the three-dimensional space. These models describe bosonic systems, and classical or quantum spin systems. Their common feature is that the joint distribution of their loop lengths has universal behaviour: It is always a Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. Most of this theory is conjectural, but it is backed by numerical studies and some partial rigorous results.

De Finetti Risk Seminar - May 3, 2023
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

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: Jean-Pierre Fouque University of California Santa Barbara Title: Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for Mixed Mean Field Control Games Abstract: We present a new combined Mean Field Control Game (MFCG) problem which can be interpreted as a competitive game between collaborating groups and its solution as a Nash equilibrium between the groups. Within each group the players coordinate their strategies. An example of such a situation is a modification of the classical trader's problem. Groups of traders maximize their wealth. They are faced with transaction cost for their own trades and a cost for their own terminal position. In addition they face a cost for the average holding within their group. The asset price is impacted by the trades of all agents. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm to approximate the solution of such mixed Mean Field Control Game problems. We test the algorithm on benchmark linear-quadratic specifications for which we have analytic solutions. Joint work with A. Angiuli, N. Detering, Mathieu Laurière, and J. Lin.

Seminar Prof. F. Patras at Università degli Studi di Milano
by Stefania Ugolini 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Professor F. Patras (Univ. Côte d’Azur, CNRS) will give a seminar on Thursday, May 04th at 15:00, in Aula Dottorato, at the Department of Mathematics "Federigo Enriques", Università degli Studi di Miano. Title: "Wick polynomials, from classical to free probability." Abstract: Wick polynomials are a central object in quantum physics and classical probability (where they encode for example "chaos decompositions" - they provide an orthonormal basis of the space of square integrable functions of a Gaussian random variable). We will discuss an algebraic formulation of Wick's constructions that allows to generalize them to a wide variety of contexts, featuring free probability - a probability theory closely linked to random matrices but that appears in various recent works, in different areas.

Abstract: In various situations, one may be interested in the concept of differentiation of random variables or processes with respect to some underlying parameters. We will discuss this possibility in the case of random variables related to stopping times. Rather than discussing general theory (which we may), we will present basic examples that give hints about the general results and exhibit the difficulties involved in the development of general results. ________________________________ Fabio Antonelli DISIM - Università di L'Aquila

International Conference in Venice - Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Helen Rey* (London Business School), *Elisa Giuliani *(University of Pisa) and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Corso Paul JENKINS (University of Warwick)
by Matteo Ruggiero 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (programma completo alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting), con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- Paul JENKINS (University of Warwick) SIMULATION AND INFERENCE IN POPULATION GENETICS Population genetics provides a rich source of data. We now have the ability to sequence, cost-efficiently, the genomes of a large number of individuals from a species. Patterns of variation in DNA sequences offer a rich insight into biological and demographic processes: mutation, natural selection, past migration events, admixture, population structure, and so on. But such data are high-dimensional, noisy, and - because of shared ancestry - not independent, giving rise to some challenging statistical problems. In this course we will cover two important models for the analysis of genetic data - the coalescent, and the Wright-Fisher diffusion. We will discuss methods of simulation of data from these models, as well as how to perform inference for key biological and evolutionary parameters, using techniques such as MCMC. -------------------------------------- Il corso si svolgerà esclusivamente in presenza secondo il seguente calendario: - mar 2 Maggio, h.16-18 - mer 3 Maggio, h.16-18 - ven 5 Maggio, h.11.15-13.15 (Aula 3) - mar 9 Maggio, h.14-16 - mer 10 Maggio, h.16-18 - gio 11 Maggio, h.16-18 - mar 16 Maggio, h.14-16 - mer 17 Maggio, h.16-18 Sede dei corsi: Aula 11 (tranne il 5/5), Terzo piano - Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino. Il corso è rivolto agli studenti della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati.

Seminario A. Stamm presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Si avvisa che in data 26-04-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica (Edificio 14 - La Nave), in Aula Saleri (sesto piano), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Aymeric Stamm, Laboratoire de Mathématiques Jean Leray - UMR CNRS, Nantes, France Titolo: Clustering for rotation-valued functional data Abstract: This talk is motivated by the strong case study of monitoring gait for early detection of gait impairment in patients diagnosed with gait-affecting disorders. To this effect, we record the rotation of the hip over time. This leads to data with a great complexity that makes any kind of statistical analysis non-trivial. In effect, we collect functional data that evaluates on the Lie group of three-dimensional rotations which is a non-Euclidean space. In this work, we develop sound statistical methods to enable joint clustering and alignment of such functional data by borrowing ideas from the existing 𝑘-means alignment approach. In the process, we will describe in great length the R package fdacluster, which is an extension of the R package fdakma that provides a fast C++ based implementation of the k-mean alignment algorithm from Sangalli et al. (2010) as well as hierarchical clustering for functional data and tools that help choosing the number of clusters.

Seminario di Gérard Letac, Giovedì 27 Aprile, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì prossimo in Sapienza. Notare il giorno e l'aula inusuali. *Giovedì 27 Aprile, ore 14:00* Aula L, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Gérard Letac (Paul Sabatier University - Toulouse III) *Title: *From the Matsumoto Yor observation to stationary measures for a discrete KdV model *Abstract: *Let F(x,y)=(u,v) from R2 into itself such that F∘F(x,y)=(x,y). The discrete Korteweg-de Vries model associated to F considers two dimensional vectors (x tn,ytn) indexed by (t,n)∈Z2 submitted to (xtn,ytn)=F(xt−1n,ytn−1). In the particular case F(x,y)=(y−1−(x+y)−1,(x+y)−1), by considerations on Brownian motion, Matsumoto-Yor in 1999 have found laws of independent random variables X,Y such that U,V defined by F(X,Y)=(U,V) are independent, obtaining stationary measures on the KdV model. In an extraordinary paper, Croydon and Sasada (2021) have generalized this result to the surprizing F(x ,y)=(yβxy+1αxy+1,xαxy+1βxy+1). The lecture will prove that if X,Y are independent and such that U,V=F(X,Y) are also independent, then the laws of X and Y are indeed the generalized Gaussian distributions discovered by Croydon and Sasada. This is joint work with Jacek Wesolowski (arXiv 2203.05404). *Nota*: Sul sito del dipartimento il seminario è, ad oggi, annunciato per le 17:00 (in Aula II), ma si terrà alle 14:00 (in Aula L), come annunciato in questa email.

Seminar@UNIBO - ROSANNA GRASSI
by Fabrizio Lillo 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

*Tuesday May 2nd, 2023 12:00* *– 13:00* Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna Aula Seminario II, Piazza di Porta San Donato 5, Bologna Prof. Rosanna Grassi, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca *Title: Higher order assortativity for directed weighted networks and Markov chains* Abstract: Assortativity is a global indicator that provides meaningful insights about the network structure. In the classical definition, the assortativity is a global measure based on the Pearson correlation between the degrees of nodes. This definition can be extended into two different directions. On the one side, one can consider other quantitative attributes of the nodes different from the degree; on the other side, one can move from the adjacency of the nodes – which is the basis of Newman’s degree-degree assortativity – and propose more general ways to connect them. We provide a generalized concept of the assortativity measure for directed and weighted networks, moving beyond the adjacency relations in both directions. The proposed concept is formulated on a node attribute that is not necessarily the degree or strength, and nodes are connected through walks or paths. In this way, we totally extend the assortativity definitions provided in the literature until now. We provide an empirical application of these measures for the paradigmatic case of the trade network. Interestingly, this interpretation of the higher-order assortativity measure allows stating a natural bridge between complex networks and stochastic processes. In so doing, we are able to move from the information content of the higher order assortativity of a network to the dynamical properties of the underlying Markov chain. Specifically, the temporal dimension of the network and the regularities captured by the autocorrelation – which are hidden in the network structure – become clear in moving to the Markov chain theory. ---------------------------------------- Fabrizio Lillo Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa ITALY Personal website: fabriziolillo.wordpress.com University website: www.unibo.it/sitoweb/fabrizio.lillo <http://fabriziolillo.wordpress.com/> phone: +39 050509159

OWABC- Emtiyaz Khan - The Bayesian Learning Rule - April 27, 9.30am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Dear all, The One World ABC Seminar series www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is about to resume. Our next speaker will be Emtiyaz Khan<https://emtiyaz.github.io/> (RIKEN), who will talk about "The Bayesian Learning Rule" on Thursday, April 27, 9.30am UK time, with an abstract reported below. The talk will be hosted on MS Teams here<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Yjk5MDQyYWMtZmI3Yy00…>. Title: The Bayesian Learning Rule. Abstract Humans and animals have a natural ability to autonomously learn and quickly adapt to their surroundings. How can we design machines that do the same? In this talk, I will present Bayesian principles to bridge such gaps between humans and machines. I will show that a wide-variety of machine-learning algorithms are instances of a single learning-rule derived from Bayesian principles. I will also briefly discuss the dual perspective yielding new mechanisms for knowledge transfer in learning machines. My hope is to convince the audience that Bayesian principles are indispensable for an AI that learns as efficiently as we do. References * The Bayesian Learning Rule, (Preprint) M.E. Khan, H.

He is also an external professor at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). Previously, he was a postdoc and then a scientist at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he also taught two large machine learning courses and received a teaching award. He finished his PhD in machine learning from University of British Columbia in 2012. The main goal of Emti’s research is to understand the principles of learning from data and use them to develop algorithms that can learn like living beings. For more than 10 years, his work has focused on developing Bayesian methods that could lead to such fundamental principles. The approximate Bayesian inference team now continues to use these principles, as well as derive new ones, to solve real-world problems.

Dear all, On Wednesday, April 26th, at 14h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual room! Aula 2001 is behind Aula Dal Passo) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Federico Ricci Tersenghi (La Sapienza) with the seminar _ _ _"Phase transitions and algorithmic thresholds for optimization and inference problems on sparse random graphs__"_ _ _ Abstract: Focusing on some fundamental constraint satisfaction problems defined on sparse random graphs (e.g. random k-sat, random q-coloring) I will start summarizing the rich phase diagram of the solution space which has been derived using powerful techniques from statistical mechanics of disordered systems. I will then discuss the implications of some of these phase transitions for the behaviour of smart algorithms searching for solutions. In the second part, I will consider the problem of inferring a signal from noisy and/or incomplete data within the Bayesian framework called the teacher-student scenario. I will discuss the corresponding phase diagrams and how phase transitions may affect the performances of inference algorithms based on message-passing and Monte Carlo sampling. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the event on Teams [1]. The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

Mark Podolskij's seminar at LUISS (hybrid mode)
by Sara 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Dear all, Professor Mark Podolskij ( https://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fstm/dmath/people/mark_podolskij) will give a seminar on *Thursday, April 20 at noon in room 205:* *Title * On Estimation of the Maximal Rank of Stochastic Volatility *Abstract* In this talk we address the question of how many Brownian motions are required to model a multivariate price process of diffusion type. It turns out that this question is equivalent to estimation of the maximal rank of the volatility component. We solve this mathematical problem in the high frequency regime and provide a formal estimation and testing procedure. If the time allows we touch upon high dimensional aspects of the problem.

To support my claims, I will focus on the Demographic Parity fairness constraint, describing various connections to classical statistical theory, optimal transport, and conformal prediction literature. In particular, we will study the form of an optimal prediction function under this constraint in both regression and classification. Then, I will describe a learning procedure which is supported by statistical guarantees under no or mild assumptions on the underlying data distribution. This talk is based on a sequence of joint works with Ch. Denis, S. Gaucher, M. Hebiri, L. Oneto, M. Pontil, and N.

Si avvisa che in data 21-04-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Fulvia Mecatti, Università degli Studi Milano Bicocca Titolo: What is big in big data? A sampling statistician perspective Abstract: BigData users as well as BigData research community are fast growing bigger and bigger while statisticians at large seem to be growing divided between enthusiastic and worried, when not downright hostile. Is BigData also a big step ahead to extract information and actual knowledge from data? Is BigData underplaying statistical inference as we know it? Supplanting stats methodology as a low-cost futuristic option? As a (mainly) sampling statistician, in this webinar I shall try to decipher the multifaceted relationship connecting BigData to statistical and to sampling methodology, starting with the still blurry definition of BigData and discussing some very personal considerations and views. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente Link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2272 Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it <https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it/>

A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will discuss shape theorems and fluctuations of ALE clusters, which include Hastings-Levitov clusters as particular cases, in the subcritical regime. Based on joint work with James Norris and Amanda Turner.*

Seminar in Statistics - PETER GRUNWALD

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 14 Aprile 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Peter Grunwald* (CWI and Universitet Leiden, Netherlands) Title: *E is for Evidence* Abstract: How much evidence do the data give us about one hypothesis versus another? The standard way to measure evidence is still the p-value, despite a myriad of problems surrounding it. We present the e-value, a recently popularized notion of evidence which overcomes some of these issues. While e-values were only given a name as recently as 2019, interest in them has since exploded with papers in the Annals, JRSS B, Biometrika and the like – June 2022 saw the first international workshop on e-values, a second one is planned. In simple cases, e-values coincide with Bayes factors. But if the null is composite or nonparametric, or an alternative cannot be explicitly formulated, e-values and Bayes factors become distinct and e-processes can be seen as a generalization of nonnegative supermartingales. Thus, unlike the Bayes factor, e-values always allow for tests with strict frequentist Type-I error control under optional continuation of data collection and combination of data from different sources. E-values are also the basic building blocks of anytime-valid confidence intervals that remain valid under continuous monitoring and optional stopping. In parametric settings they tend to be strictly wider than, hence consistent with Bayesian credible intervals. This led to the development of the e-posterior, an analogue to the Bayesian posterior that gets wider rather than wrong if the prior is chosen badly. This work is based on: P. Grunwald,. R. de Heide, W. Koolen (2023). Safe Testing. To appear in J. Roy. Stat. Soc., Series B P. Grunwald (2023) . The E-Posterior. Proc. Phil. Trans. Soc.

OWPS Tomorrow: Fabio Toninelli and Giuseppe Cannizzaro
by Alberto Chiarini 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (17:00 to 19:00 Central European Time), Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) and Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) Title : Out-of-equilibrium phenomena, stochastic PDEs and Gaussian limits Abstract : I will report on mathematical progress on certain (non-linear, singular) stochastic PDEs that model effectively the mesoscopic behaviour of some out-of-equilibrium physical systems, most notably stochastic interface growth and driven diffusive systems. Scaling and Renormalization Group arguments suggest that, above the critical dimension d=2, the large-scale behaviour of these equations should be Gaussian. Our results imply, indeed, Gaussian scaling limits in dimension d\ge 3 (for driven diffusive systems) and also, at least in the regime of weak non-linearity, in the critical dimension d=2 (both for driven diffusive systems and for the Anisotropic KPZ equation). Talk : Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title : Weak coupling scaling of critical SPDEs Abstract : The study of stochastic PDEs has known tremendous advances in recent years and, thanks to Hairer's theory of regularity structures and Gubinelli and Perkowski's paracontrolled approach, (local) existence and uniqueness of solutions of subcritical SPDEs is by now well-understood. The goal of this talk is to move beyond the aforementioned theories and present novel tools to derive the scaling limit (in the so-called weak coupling scaling) for certain stationary SPDEs at the critical dimension. Our techniques are inspired by the resolvent method developed by Landim, Olla, Yau, Ramirez, and many others, in the context of particle systems in the supercritical dimension and might be well-suited to study a much wider class of statistical mechanics models at criticality.

SPASS Seminar: Riccardo Montalto
by Francesco Grotto 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Construction on quasi-periodic nonlinear waves in fluid mechanics,* Riccardo Montalto (Milano Statale). The seminar will take place on TUE, 4.4.2023 at 13:30 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. *Please notice that the seminar will take place half an hour earlier than usual.* The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk I will discuss some recent results on Euler and Navier Stokes equations concerning the construction of quasi-periodic solutions and the problem of the inviscid limit for the Navier Stokes equation. I will discuss the following results:* *1) Construction of quasi-periodic solutions for the Euler equation with a time quasi-periodic external force, bifurcating from a constant, diophantine velocity field;2) I shall discuss the inviscid limit problem from the perspective of KAM theory, namely I shall prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions of the Navier Stokes equation converging to the one of the Euler equation constructed in 1) . The main difficulty is that this is a singular limit problem. We overcome this difficulty by implementing a normal form methods which allow to prove sharp estimates (global in time) w.r. to the viscosity parameter;3) (time permitting) I also discuss the construction of quasi-periodic traveling waves bifurcating from the Couette flow for the autonomous 2D Euler equation.These works are based on collaborations with Luca Franzoi and Nader Masmoudi. *

Dear all, you're invited to the seminar in Probability and Finance that will take place Friday 28th April, at 2.30 pm, in hybrid mode at the Math Dept of the University of Padova. More details: * *Speaker*: Stefano De Marco (Ecole Polytechnique) * *Date and time*: 28th April 2023, 2.30pm * *Room (Torre Archimede)*: 2BC30 * *Zoom link*: please find it at *https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/* <https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/> * *Title*: *Fractional forward variance models - volatility surfaces and other features* * *Abstract*: We present some features of a class of forward variance models embedding rough volatility models (the so-called rough Bergomi model being the archetypal example): the structure of model-generated VIX smiles, the shapes of model-generated volatility surfaces on the spot, both implied and local, with a focus on the at-the-money volatility skew and the capability of such models to capture this specific feature of market data over different time horizons. We present related numerical methods for option pricing and their efficiency, from Monte Carlo to asymptotic methods. If time permits, we will discuss some dynamic properties of such models, focusing on the dynamics of implied volatilities they generate. See you there! The organisers A. Bianchi, G. Callegaro, M.

27 Mar '23

Seminari di Fisica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" Università di Roma La Sapienza Mercoledì 5 aprile, ore 16:15, sala di Consiglio Fraydoun Rezakhanlou (University of Berkeley) Kinetic Theory for Laguerre Tessellations Abstract. In this talk I will discuss a family of Gibbsian measures on the set of Laguerre tessellations. These measures may be used to provide a systematic approach for constructing Gibbsian solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs by exploring the Eularian description of the shock dynamics. Such solutions depend on kernels satisfying kinetic-like equations reminiscent of the Smoluchowski model for coagulating and fragmenting particles. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Webinar UMI-PRISMA 3 aprile Campi-Callegaro
by Claudia Ceci 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Buongiorno a tutt*, ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 3 aprile 2023* ore 16-17 LUCIANO CAMPI Title: Correlated equilibria and mean field games Abstract: In the context of mean field games (MFGs), we introduce a generalization of mean field game solution, called correlated solution, which can be seen as the mean field game analogue of a correlated equilibrium. The latter is a generalization of Nash equilibrium for stochastic games. Our notion of solution can be justified in two ways for MFGs in discrete time and finite state space: correlated solutions arise as limits of exchangeable correlated equilibria in restricted (Markov open-loop) strategies for the underlying $N$-player games, and approximate $N$-player correlated equilibria can be constructed starting from a correlated solution to the mean field game. Moreover, those results can be extended to progressive deviations, possibly depending on the whole history of the state and the flow of measures. In this talk we will focus especially on a further extension to continuous time MFGs through the notion of coarse correlated equilibrium. This talk is based on joint works with O. Bonesini, F. Cannerozzi and M. Fischer. ore 17-18 GIORGIA CALLEGARO Title: McKean–Vlasov Game of Commodity Production, Consumption and Trading Abstract: We propose a model where a producer and a consumer can affect the price dynamics of some commodity controlling drift and volatility of, respectively, the production rate and the consumption rate. We assume that the producer has a short position in a forward contract on λ units of the underlying at a fixed price F, while the consumer has the corresponding long position. Moreover, both players are risk-averse with respect to their financial position and their risk aversions are modelled through an integrated-variance penalization. We study the impact of risk aversion on the interaction between the producer and the consumer as well as on the derivative price. In mathematical terms, we are dealing with a two-player linear-quadratic McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential game. Using methods based on the martingale optimality principle and BSDEs, we find a Nash equilibrium and characterize the corresponding strategies and payoffs in semi-explicit form. Furthermore, we compute the two indifference prices (one for the producer and one for the consumer) induced by that equilibrium and we determine the quantity λ such that the players agree on the price. Finally, we illustrate our results with some numerics. In particular, we focus on how the risk aversions and the volatility control costs of the players affect the derivative price.

At the event page link you can find the paper, the zoom link to attend online and a button to add the event to your calendars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 22nd @ 12.00 Speaker: Peter Tankov (ENSAE) Title: Decarbonization of financial markets: a mean-field game approach Abstract:We build a model of a financial market where a large number offirms determine their dynamic emission strategies under climate transition risk in the presence of both green-minded and neutral investors.The firms aim to achieve a trade-off between financial and environ-mental performance, while interacting through the stochastic discountfactor, determined in equilibrium by the investors’ allocations. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then presenta convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium andillustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence ofgreen-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics andshare prices. We show that uncertainty about future climate risks andpolicies leads to higher overall emissions and higher spreads betweenshare prices of green and brown companies. This effect is partially reversed in the presence of environmentally concerned investors, whoseimpact on the cost of capital spurs companies to reduce emissions.

Seminar by Dr. Vincenzo Candila.
by Giorgio Rizzini 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following seminar by Dr. *Vincenzo Candila* (University of Salerno) on Wednesday March 29th 2023 starting from 4:30 p.m. in room 2062 at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan). *On the tennis winner forecasting methods: from the Weighted Elo rates to the network-based indicators* *Vincenzo **Candila* Department of Economics and Statistics University of Salerno *Abstract:* Statistical methods for predicting the winner in tennis matches have increased in popularity over the last two decades. Currently, several techniques are available, such as the regression-based, point-based, and paired-comparison approaches. Within this latter class, the Elo rating is one of the most popular methods to predict the probability of winning tennis matches. Even with its widely recognized merits in terms of good performance, the Elo method only partially considers each player's current form and recent performances. To overcome this drawback, we have proposed a new version of the Elo rating method, labeled Weighted Elo (WElo), where the standard Elo rates are weighted according to the scoreline of the players’ last match. More recently, we have further enlarged the paired-comparison class of models, introducing the network-based indicators for the first time to allow the ratings of the whole set of players to vary every time there is a new match. This work aims to illustrate the main characteristics of the WElo and network-based rates. In the empirical applications, we show the statistically meaningful benefits of using the proposed approaches with respect to many popular competing specifications. *March 29th, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.* *Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods* *Room **2062* * - Building U7 (Second floor)* *Bicocca degli Arcimboldi street, 8 – 20126 Milan* For further information, please write to rosanna.grassi(a)unimib.it

Seminar: Francesco Vaccarino at Tor Vergata
by salvi 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 15th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Francesco Vaccarino (Politecnico di Torino) with the seminar _ _ _"Hodge-Shapley game: a Laplacian-based Shapley-like associated game for eXplainable AI"_ _ _ Abstract: In cooperative game theory, a set of players or decision-makers should negotiate to decide how to allocate the worth gained by the coalition composed of all the players. A value is a solution concept that suggests the outcome of the negotiation among players. Among the many existing alternative solution concepts, it is prevalent the Shapley value solution concept. Its popularity also derives from the property of being a fair allocation, where a set of desirable properties or axioms describes fairness. The axioms characterize the Shapley value in the sense that it is the unique value satisfying those properties; at the same time, the axioms allow deriving a simple explicit combinatorial formula to compute the Shapley value. In our approach, coalitions are the main subjects of cooperation, instead of single players, and, inspired by the Shapley value, the goal is to derive a fair associated game, i.e. an allocation to coalitions satisfying a set of desirable properties. The methodology is based on using the Hodge decomposition of the simplicial complex associated with the partially ordered set of the subsets of the set of players ordered by inclusion. We will motivate this investigation within the framework of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Joint work with Antonio Mastropietro (Eurecom - F) We encourage in-person partecipation.

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 29th of March from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Milton Jara (IMPA) and Otávio Menezes (Purdue University) Title : CLT for NESS Abstract : Non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS) are ubiquitous in nature, but not well understood from a mathematical point of view. The main features of NESS is the presence of non-trivial currents, which generate long-range correlations in the system. Modeling physical systems by Markov chains, one can restate questions about NESS as the description of invariant measures for non-reversible Markov chains. This opens the way to describe NESS by probabilistic methods. However, basic questions for non-reversible Markov chains, like for example mixing times or quantitative CLTs are not been answered in great generality. Our first talk will introduce NESS with some examples, and it will introduce general and fairly elementary methodology for Markov chains that we believe is well suited to the study of non-reversible Markov chains. The second talk will describe some recent results about the description of NESS for driven-diffusive systems.

Seminar announcement: M. Tarsia on time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems – March 29, 2023 – 13:00-14:00
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, On March 29, 2023, 13:00-14:00, Dr. Marco Tarsia (University of Insubria) will give a talk on “Subgame-perfect equilibrium strategies for time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems” (joint work with Elisa Mastrogiacomo). The seminar will be held in person and online via the MS Teams platform. Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWU0MDRiNjctYWNmYS00… Place: Dipartimento di Economia, Via Monte Generoso 71, room TBA. Below you can find an abstract of Marco’s talk. You are all invited. *** Abstract In this talk, we discuss about time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems, i.e., for which Bellman’s principle of optimality does not hold. In practice, a restriction of an optimal control for a specific initial pair on a later time interval might not be optimal for that corresponding initial pair; this happens, for instance, in dynamic utility maximization problems for investment- consumption strategies under non-exponential discounting. For this class of problems classical optimal controls may fail to exist, or to be relevant in practice, and dynamic programming is not easily applicable. Therefore, the notion of optimality is defined through a game-theoretic framework by means of subgame-perfect equilibrium: we interpret our preference changes which, realistically, are inconsistent over time, as players in a game for which we want to find a Nash equilibrium. The approach followed in our work relies on the stochastic (Pontryagin) maximum principle: we adapt the classical spike variation technique to obtain a characterization of equilibrium strategies in terms of a generalized second-order Hamiltonian function defined through pairs of backward stochastic differential equations, even in the multidimensional case. We emphasize that, similarly to the classical case, equilibrium strategies are characterized through both a necessary condition and a sufficient condition involving the generalized Hamiltonian function, whereas, contrary to the classical case, this sufficient condition works even in the absence of extra convexity assumptions. Going further, our analysis is extended to time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems under a constraint defined by means of an additional recursive utility, under appropriate boundedness assumptions. That constraint refers to an expected value and so we adapt Ekeland’s variational principle to this trickier situation. Finally, the theoretical results are applied in the financial field to finite horizon investment-consumption policies with non-exponential actualization. Here the existence of non-trivial equilibrium policies is also ascertained.

Ricordo il seminario di oggi, e segnalo che sarà trasmesso su zoom al seguente link: *Zoom link: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/98462690288?pwd=SnYrNmpTQXQxZEI2UmN3VW1ucVNBdz09 Meeting ID: 984 6269 0288 Passcode: 683135 *Martedì 21 Marzo, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Marta Leocata, SNS *Title: *Modeling an example of green transition *Abstract:* The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some kind of interaction between many subjects and collective behaviors seem to play a role. We have identified as a first example the case of solar photovoltaic, with the purpose of explaining the time series of Italy and of different regions. We use tools from continuous-time Markov chains, mean field limits, optimal control, and mean field games. Then, we specify our analysis on the case of domestic installations. In order to explain them we propose a Markovian model of interacting particle systems to describe the decision of a significant proportion of the general public in Italy on the installation of solar photovoltaics (PVs) and compare our models to real data. We assume that the adoption decision follows a well precise pattern. First, the general public develops a certain level of sensitivity to climate change and environmental issues. Then it plans to install the PVs because she/he has a sufficient amount of information on the benefits of PVs. Finally, it installs PVs because the economic benefits out-weights the costs. In conclusion, we propose some original policies, not based not on financial incentives. This work is in collaboration with Franco Flandoli (SNS), Giulia Livieri (SNS), Silvia Morlacchi (SNS), Fausto Corvino (University of Gothenburg) and Alberto Pirni (SSSA). ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ *Speaker*: Nicola Turchi (Università Milano Bicocca) *Title*: High-dimensional random polytopes of the Beta kind *Date and time*: Friday, MARCH 31 at 14.30 *Place*: room 1BC45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link*: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/82935460505 (Meeting ID 829 3546 0505) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract*: Beta polytopes are a class of random polytopes, which arise as convex hulls of independent random points distributed according to a certain radially-symmetric probability distribution supported on the Euclidean ball, called the beta distribution. A prominent reason for the interest surrounding them is that the beta distribution exhibits peculiar properties that make exact computations possible to achieve, contrarily to most other models of randomness with non-independent coordinates. As the space dimension grows, the expected fraction of the volume that these polytopes fill within their supporting balls can be asymptotically negligible or not, depending on the number of points which are picked in each dimension. In this talk we give an overview on how to quantify this statement, first showing a rough threshold for the aforementioned growth and secondly a more precise one, namely how many points are needed to get any fraction in average. Lastly, we show how we can handle more precise asymptotics for the approach towards zero in the lower regimes of points, based on a work in progress with G. Bonnet and Z. Kabluchko. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

LTI@Unito Seminars| Dimitri Vayanos (March 7) and Johan Hombert (March 8) @ 12.00
by Luca Regis 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to invite you to the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto (CCA): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 7th @ 12.00 (webinar) Speaker: Dimitri Vayanos (LSE) Title: Passive Investing and the Rise of Mega-Firms Abstract: We study how passive investing affects asset prices. Flows into passive funds raise dispropor-tionately the stock prices of the economy’s largest firms—even when the indices tracked by the funds include all firms. Passive flows also raise the largest firms’ return volatility the most, andraise the aggregate stock market even when they are entirely due to investors switching from active to passive. These effects arise because of the re-pricing of systematic and large firms’idiosyncratic risk. We estimate that passive investing caused the 50 largest US firms to rise 30%more than the US stock market over 1996–2020.

Using the late 1990s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) boom as a laboratory, we show that skilled labor joining this new sector experienced sizeable long-term earnings losses. We trace these losses to skill obsolescence, that cannot be explained by either selection or the subsequent ICT sector bust. During the boom, capital flowed more to firms whose workers would ultimately experience a larger productivity decline. This suggests that financial capital can amplify the negative effects of labor reallocation into booming sectors on aggregate labor productivity.

40th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory: Copulas – Theory and Applications
by Fabrizio, Antonio DURANTE 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Dear Colleague, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 40th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory <https://www.flll.jku.at/linz2023> Copulas – Theory and Applications Bildungshaus St. Magdalena, Linz, Austria June 6-9, 2023 Since their inception in 1979 the Linz Seminars on Fuzzy Sets have emphasized the development of mathematical aspects in the context of fuzzy sets by bringing together researchers in fuzzy sets and established mathematicians whose work outside the fuzzy setting can provide direction for further research. The philosophy of the seminar has always been to keep it deliberately small and intimate so that informal critical discussions remain central. LINZ 2023 will be the 40th seminar carrying on this tradition and is devoted to the theme "Copulas — Theory and Applications". The goal of the seminar is to present and to discuss recent advances of copulas and related functions and their applications in pure and applied fields. Accordingly, the topics of the Seminar will include but not be limited to: · Copula theory o From bivariate to multivariate copulas o Dependence measures and association o Approximation and convergence of copulas o Measure theoretic aspects of copulas o Copulas in the discrete setting · Copula applications o Applications in pure and applied fields o Estimation in the context of copulas o Copula methods in Data Science o Feature selection · Relationship to other aggregation functions o Triangular (co)norms, implications o Uninorms, nullnorms o Quasi-copulas, semicopulas o Distribution functions The "Linz" tradition has these key features: the number of participants of the Linz Seminars is usually bounded above by 40 with broad international representation and an enjoyable mix of pure and applied interests; there are no parallel sessions so that all participants focus on each presentation and fully engage in each topic; and there is time for discussion of each presentation, with follow up round table(s) for discussion of open problems and issues raised in the talks. In particular, young researchers (PhD students, junior post-docs) are encouraged to submit their latest results. Please submit your extended abstract (up to 4 pages) by March 29th, 2023 following the guidelines provided at the webpage of the seminar. Further Information about the seminar(s) is available at: https://www.flll.jku.at/linz2023 and https://www.flll.jku.at/linzseminars We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you in Linz, Best regards, Fabrizio Durante, Susanne Saminger-Platz, Wolfgang Trutschnig (Program Chairs) --------------------------------------------------------- Fabrizio Durante Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Economia Centro Ecotekne Pal.

Deadline *May 2nd, 2023 3pm* (Italian time). *Should you require any assistance with questions that are not addressed in the GSSI website*, please contact applications(a)gssi.it ================================================================== Dear Colleagues, this is to announce the opening for *11 PhD Fellowships* in "Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences" at Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) starting in November 2021. The application must be submitted through the online form available at www.gssi.it/phd/ by May 2nd, 2023 at 3pm (Italian time zone). Please find the call at https://applications.gssi.it/applications/. The fellowships are awarded for 4 years and their yearly amount is € 16.159,91 gross. All PhD students have free accommodation, free luncheon vouchers and use of the canteen. The official language for the PhD course is English. 1 PhD Fellowship is funded under the ERC project *"CARDIOTRIALS -CARDIac simulations to run in-silicO clinical TRIALS**"*, please find further information below. Within the Ph <https://gssi.it/education/mathematics-education>.D. <https://gssi.it/education/mathematics-education>course in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences <https://gssi.it/education/mathematics-education> a priority has been established on mathematical modeling, both towards the traditional areas of application, such as Physics or Engineering, and towards emerging issues in Biology and Social Sciences. GSSI mathematics researchers are interested in tackling many problems with complementary perspectives and methods. The area of Mathematics is characterized by four large macro-sectors: Applied Partial Differential Equations, Stochastic Analysis, Numerical methods and Continuum Mechanics Modeling. Within these sectors there is a shared interest in problems related to fluid dynamics and nonlinear waves, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and also its applications to data science. Important ideas of classical analysis, probability theory, mathematical physics and theoretical physics are used also for less traditional applications. Numerical linear algebra and numerical optimization help to design new models and accompanying numerical algorithms for applications in data mining, machine learning and network science. Continuum mechanics models, computational methods in fluid dynamics are used not only in their traditional field at the boundary between applied mathematics and theoretical engineering, but also in nonconventional problems like modeling the full heart function. Students and researchers in Mathematics at GSSI are encouraged to interact with other scientific communities. At GSSI, we believe that the interdisciplinary endeavor is the most effective way to do science and benefit society. Mathematical models are ubiquitous in physics, engineering, information theory, social and life sciences, as they provide a formidable framework to describe the time evolution of deterministic, stochastic and complex systems, which is one of the main goals at GSSI. *1 PhD fellowship* funded under the ERC project *“CARDIOTRIALS -CARDIacsimulations to run in-silicO clinical TRIALS**”*. The project aims at building a virtual model of the human heart based on the fluid-structure-electrophysiology interaction, which will be exploited to study numerically pathologies and assess the efficacy of cardiac devices, accounting for the statistical variability of the population. The project comprises the study of fluid dynamics phenomena and the application of numerical mathematics and high performance computing. The candidates willing to apply are required to work on this specific research project. Within the Ph.D. Programme in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences, it is possible to apply both for the CardiOTrials Project position and for GSSI scholarships, by submitting two different applications.

Seminario di Marta Leocata, Martedì 21 Marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 21 Marzo, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Marta Leocata, SNS *Title: *Modeling an example of green transition *Abstract:* The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some kind of interaction between many subjects and collective behaviors seem to play a role. We have identified as a first example the case of solar photovoltaic, with the purpose of explaining the time series of Italy and of different regions. We use tools from continuous-time Markov chains, mean field limits, optimal control, and mean field games. Then, we specify our analysis on the case of domestic installations. In order to explain them we propose a Markovian model of interacting particle systems to describe the decision of a significant proportion of the general public in Italy on the installation of solar photovoltaics (PVs) and compare our models to real data. We assume that the adoption decision follows a well precise pattern. First, the general public develops a certain level of sensitivity to climate change and environmental issues. Then it plans to install the PVs because she/he has a sufficient amount of information on the benefits of PVs. Finally, it installs PVs because the economic benefits out-weights the costs. In conclusion, we propose some original policies, not based not on financial incentives. This work is in collaboration with Franco Flandoli (SNS), Giulia Livieri (SNS), Silvia Morlacchi (SNS), Fausto Corvino (University of Gothenburg) and Alberto Pirni (SSSA). ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Helen Rey* (London Business School), *Elisa Giuliani *(University of Pisa) and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Seminar by Yacine Ait Sahalia in Verona, Monday 20/3/2023 at noon: How and When are High-Frequency Prices Predictable?
by Cecilia Mancini 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Dear all, Professor Yacine Ait Sahalia, from Princeton University, will give the seminar How and When are High-Frequency Prices Predictable? on Monday 20/3/2023 at the Department of Economics of the Verona University, at 12 p.m. in sala Vaona, 1st floor, Santa Marta main building, via Cantarane 24, Verona It will be possible to attend the seminar also on zoom (the meeting ID is given at the official page https://www.dse.univr.it/?ent=seminario&id=5807) All interested people will be very welcome. Best regards, Cecilia Abstract: This paper studies the predictability of ultra high-frequency stock returns and durations to relevant events, using machine learning methods. We find that, contrary to low frequency and long horizon returns, where predictability is rare and inconsistent, predictability in high frequency returns and durations is large, systematic and pervasive. We identify the relevant predictors and examine what determines the variation in predictability across different stocks and market environments. Next, we compute how the predictability varies with the timeliness of the data on a scale of milliseconds. Finally, we determine the value of getting a (short-lived and imperfect) peek at the incoming order flow, an ability that is often attributed to the fastest high frequency traders, in terms of improving the predictability.

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC, Amandine Veber (Université Paris Cité) and Apolline Louvet (University of Bath) will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk 1 : Amandine Veber (Université Paris Cité) Title : Modelling the evolution of genetic diversity in a population living in a spatial continuum Abstract : The spatial structure of a population influences the way genes are transmitted from one generation to the next, and consequently how the genetic diversity in the population evolves through time. To model this evolution when the population lives in continuous space (a forest, a mountain range, ...), a stochastic process called the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process was introduced in 2008 by Alison Etheridge (Oxford Univ.) and Nick Barton (IST Austria), and has been developed in a various directions since then. We shall review some of the results obtained thanks to this approach, and related questions that are still open. Talk 2 : Apolline Louvet (University of Bath) Title : Constructing a stochastic population genetics process for populations expanding in a spatial continuum Abstract : Spatial Lambda-Fleming Viot processes, or SLFVs, are a family of models for the evolution of genetic diversity in populations living in a spatial continuum. Their main characteristics is their "event-based" reproduction dynamics and the assumption that the area occupied is constant over time. In this talk, I will show how the SLFV modelling framework can be extended to include spatially expanding populations. In order to do so, I will introduce one possible approach to construct SLFVs formally, which is a variant of the method introduced in 2015 by Amandine Véber (Univ. Paris Cité) and Anton Wakolbinger (GU Frankfurt). This approach makes it possible to couple SLFV processes and explore new limiting regimes.

Seminar announcement

Friday, March 17th 11.30 - 12.30 Luiss | Viale Romania, 32 | Room 310 Arkadi Predtetchinski (Maastricht University) 0-1 Laws for a Control Problem with Random Action Sets In many control problems there is only limited information about the actions that will be available at future stages. We introduce a framework where the controller sequentially chooses actions a0, a1, ... one at a time. Her goal is to maximize the probability that the infinite sequence a0, a1,... is an element of a subset G of the set of infinite sequences of natural numbers. The set G is assumed to be a Borel tail set. The controller's choices are restricted: having taken a sequence ht of actions prior to stage t, she must choose a decision at stage t from a restricted set A(ht) of natural number. The set A(ht) is chosen randomly from a distribution pt, independently over all time periods and past histories. We consider several information structures defined by how far into the future the controller knows what actions will be available. In the special case where all the action sets are singletons (and thus the controller is a dummy), Kolmogorov’s 0-1 law says that the probability for the goal to be reached is 0 or 1. We construct a number of counterexamples to show that in general the value of the control problem can be strictly between 0 and 1, and derive several sufficient conditions for the 0-1 "law" to hold.

SPASS Seminar: Avi Mayorcas
by Francesco Grotto 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: Blow-up criteria for an SPDE model of chemotaxis Avi Mayorcas (TU Berlin) The seminar will take place on TUE, 14.3.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **Chemotaxis and related phenomena have been an active area of mathematical research since statistical and PDE models were first proposed by C. Patlak (’53) and E. Keller & L. Segel (’71). They are commonly studied through mean field PDE models and a common feature of these equations is the possibility of finite time blow-up under given model parameters. Recently it was shown that advection by a sufficiently strong relaxation enhancing vector field could suppress this blow up (Kiselev & Xu ’16, Iyer, Zlatos & Xu ’20). In this talk I will discuss new results (obtained with M. Tomašević) regarding criteria for the persistence of blow-up for an SPDE model of chemotaxis with stochastic advection. The noise we cover is of a form recently shown to be almost surely relaxation enhancing (Gess & Yaroslavtsev ’21) and closely related to those studied in recent works by Galeati, Flandoli and Luo.*

The firms maximize a criterion depending on their financial performance (determined by the equilibrium share price), and their environmental performance. The interaction between the firms takes place through the stochastic discount factor, determined in equilibrium by the investors' preferences. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then present a convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium and illustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence of green-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics and share prices in a variety of settings.

Care Colleghe, cari Colleghi, Segnalo che la prossima call Horizon Europe (HE) dedicata all’Azione Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) si aprirà il 12 aprile con scadenza il 13 settembre 2023. Le Postdoctoral Fellowships sono finanziamenti indirizzati a sostenere i progetti di giovani ricercatrici e ricercatori eccellenti, che lavorino in collaborazione con un docente Supervisor presso la Host Institution selezionata. Si rivolgono a scienziate e scienziati in possesso del titolo di dottore di ricerca da non più di otto anni. Iniziato nel 2021, il Programma HE ha visto un’attiva partecipazione dell’Ateneo, che ha conseguito ottimi risultati per numero di fellowship assegnate: nell’ultima call 2022, i cui esiti sono stati annunciati in questi giorni (All. 3 - Report Unipd – MSCA 2022), risultano 15 le proposte vincitrici e 13 quelle al momento collocate in lista di riserva. Dal 2014, nell’ambito dei programmi quadro Horizon 2020 e Horizon Europe, sono in totale 106 le ricercatrici e i ricercatori che hanno ottenuto una borsa Marie Skłodowska Curie con l’Università di Padova. Il report allegato illustra il numero di Dipartimenti coinvolti nelle candidature (Report Unipd – MSCA 2022). Tale successo si deve certamente anche alle iniziative promosse dall’Università che sostengono l’Azione, quali la MSCA MaRaThoN - Master your Research and Training Needs, un corso intensivo di preparazione alla scrittura di una proposta progettuale, che intende portare a Padova aspiranti Fellow di talento. Dal 2021, in HE, sono 21 le ricercatrici e i ricercatori partecipanti alla MSCA MaRaThoN ad aver ottenuto una fellowship e 15 ad aver ottenuto il riconoscimento “Seal of Excellence”. La nuova edizione del percorso formativo, che verrà organizzata in presenza dal 22 al 24 maggio 2023, è aperta a 40 potenziali "postdoctoral fellows" selezionati in base ai loro CV e proposal summary. L’Università sosterrà le spese di viaggio e alloggio alle candidate e ai candidati selezionati. Per partecipare, le interessate e gli interessati devono rispettare le condizioni di ammissibilità stabilite dal programma HE MSCA-PF (quali il possesso del titolo di dottore di ricerca da non più di otto anni) e la regola di mobilità indicata dalla call. Il termine per la presentazione delle candidature MSCA MaRaThoN è fissato alle ore 13.00 di martedì 4 aprile 2023. Tutte le informazioni sono disponibili al link https://www.unipd.it/en/msca-marathon23. La pagina contiene anche i nominativi dei docenti che negli scorsi anni si sono proposti quali Supervisor, decidendo di accogliere potenziali Fellow Marie Sklodowska-Curie nel proprio team di ricerca. Chi di voi avesse intenzione di ricoprire per la prima volta il ruolo di Supervisor, o di aggiornare i propri dati, può segnalarlo compilando il modulo on line: https://www.unipd.it/supervisor-form.

De Finetti Risk Seminar - March 8, 2023
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

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: Peter Tankov ENSAE Paris, France Title: Decarbonization dynamics of a large financial market: a mean-field game approach Abstract: We build a model of a financial market where a large number of firms determine their emission strategies under climate transition risk in the presence of both green-minded and neutral investors. The firms maximize a criterion depending on their financial performance (determined by the equilibrium share price), and their environmental performance. The interaction between the firms takes place through the stochastic discount factor, determined in equilibrium by the investors' preferences. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then present a convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium and illustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence of green-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics and share prices in a variety of settings.

expression of interest for mini-symposium on Graphical Models for Life Science
by Daniela De Canditiis 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, this is an invitation to express your interest in participating as a speaker at the following mini-symposium for the IMACS 2023 that will be in September in Rome *Site of Congress*: https://www.imacs2023.eu/index.php/IMACS2023/IMACS2023 *Title of the mini_symposium*: “Graphical Models for Life Science” *Organizers*: Claudia Angelini, Daniela De Canditiis and Italia De Feis (IAC-CNR) *Abstract*: Graphical models are an elegant framework for describing complex systems of random variables. The nodes represent variables, while the edges represent relationships among variables, such as conditional independence. Bayesian networks are direct acyclic graphs, while Markov networks are undirect graphs, both have undergone enormous development in the last decades. Graphical models are helpful for the statistical analysis of data in various domains. Recently, they are becoming strategic for life science, allowing us to infer relations among variables such as genes/proteins/diseases/. However, their use in life science opens novel challenges due to the amount and heterogeneity of the data. This Special Session is open to theoretical and methodological contributions and innovative applications in life science. All interested researchers are welcome to email one of the organizers by the 20th of March 2023. Best Regards Claudia Angelini: claudia.angelini(a)cnr.it <c.angelini(a)na.iac.cnr.it>, Daniela De Canditiis: d.decanditiis(a)iac.cnr.it, Italia De Feis: i.defeis(a)iac.cnr.it -- Daniela De Canditiis, PhD Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "M.Picone" (CNR) via dei Taurini, 19 -- 00185 Roma, Italy tel: +39 06 49937342 fax: +39 06 4404306 https://www.iac.cnr.it/personale/daniela-de-canditiis

Seminar by Alessandra Faggionato, on March 6th, Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance
by Alberto Chiarini 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the "Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance seminar" that will take place on March 6th, 2023 at 16.00, Room 1BC45 at the department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita". The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Alessandra Faggionato (Università La Sapienza) Title: Hydrodynamic limit of simple exclusion processes on point processes with random conductances Date and time: Monday, MARCH 6th at 16.00 Place: room 1BC45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83774362817?pwd=ZDZnRGdZZGpDNDRQd3pMQUw4NUx4dz09 available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We consider continuous-time random walks on a simple point process with random symmetric jump rates. The jump range can be unbounded. We assume some second-moment conditions and that the above randomness is left invariant by the action of the group G = R^d or G = Z^d. We then add the site-exclusion interaction, thus making the particle system a simple exclusion process. We show that, for almost all environments, under diffusive space-time rescaling the system exhibits a hydrodynamic limit in path space. The hydrodynamic equation is non-random and governed by the effective homogenized matrix D of the single random walk, which can be degenerate. The proof relies both on particle duality and on stochastic homogenization for a single random walk. We then focus on specific examples, including the simple exclusion process on Delaunay triangulations.

Seminario di Markus Fischer - 7 marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Giacomo Di Gesu 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Martedì 7 marzo, ore 14:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma. *Speaker: *Markus Fischer, Università di Padova *Title: *On correlated equilibria and mean field games *Abstract: *Mean field games are limit models for symmetric N-player games, as the number of players N tends to infinity. The prelimit models are usually solved in terms of Nash equilibria. A generalization of the notion of Nash equilibrium, due to Robert Aumann (1974, 1987), is that of correlated equilibrium. In a simple discrete setting, we will discuss correlated equilibria for mean field games and their connection with the underlying N-player games. We first consider equilibria in restricted strategies (Markov open-loop), where control actions depend only on time and a player's own state. In this case, N-player correlated equilibria are seen to converge to the mean field game limit and, conversely, correlated mean field game solutions induce approximate N-player correlated equilibria. We then discuss the problem of constructing approximate equilibria when deviating players have access to the aggregate system state. We also give an explicit example of a correlated mean field game solution not of Nash-type. Results (with L. Campi and Federico Cannerozzi) on a related notion of equilibrium in a diffusion-type setting will be mentioned as well. Joint work with Ofelia Bonesini (Imperial College London) and Luciano Campi (University of Milan "La Statale")
