Please forward this message to potential candidates. Best wishes, Giorgio Ferrari %%%%%%%%%%%% * * *Postdoctoral Position for Three Years in Economics, Finance, or Related Fields* *Advertiser:* Center of Mathematical Economics (IMW), Bielefeld University *Field(s) of specialization: *Finance - Microeconomics - Theory - Behavioral Economics - Computational Economics - Decision Sciences - Insurance *Position type(s):* Postdoctoral Scholar *Location of job: *Universitätsstraße 25, Bielefeld, NRW, 33615, Germany (map <https://econjobmarket.org/mapPosition/10289>) *Degree required:* Doctorate *Job start date:* 2024-04-01 *Job duration:* 3 years *Letters of reference required:* 2 *Target date for applications:* 4 Dec 2023 *Application deadline:* 7 Dec 2023 midnight UTC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time> (accepting applications) *Posting end date:* 30 Dec 2023 *Interviews:* Interviews will be conducted remotely by video starting December, 2023. *Ad text:* The Center for Mathematical Economics at Bielefeld University offers a three-year postdoctoral position. The position is allocated to the newly established Research Training Group 'Coping with Uncertainty in Dynamic Economies' (CUDE), which is concerned with a new subfield in economic theory that merges two features central to current and future economies: uncertainty and dynamics. Here, uncertainty is understood in the sense of Frank Knight, in that decision makers struggle to assign reliable estimates of probabilities to future events. This Knightian uncertainty is widely believed to capture our world's mega trends such as climate change, energy crisis, migration, pandemics, and technological development. Its analysis has been a central research topic in decision theory for the last two decades, and increasingly in microeconomic theory more generally, currently being explored at research centers around the world. As main innovation of our program, we seek to explore the implications of uncertainty in dynamic economies, which is vastly understudied at present but critical to answer the economic questions raised by the aforementioned mega trends. For more information, you can visit the Website: https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/zwe/imw/cude/ The position is available as soon as April 1 2024, yet later starts are also possible.

SPASS Seminar: Michele Stecconi
by Andrea Agazzi 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Sobolev-Malliavin regularity of the nodal volume* by Michele Stecconi (University of Luxemburg) The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI 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: *Consider the nodal volume of a non-degenerate (in a sense to specify) Gaussian random field defined on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension d greater or equal to 2. We prove that the law of such random variable has an absolutely continuous component, as a direct consequence of its Fréchet differentiability. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for the derivative (the mean curvature). The non-singularity of the law had already been established by Angst and Poly for stationary fields on the d-torus, in dimension d>2, via Malliavin calculus. In this work the two dimensional case remained open, in particular, the Malliavin differentiability of the nodal length was unknown. We prove that the nodal volume admits a L2 Malliavin derivative, for d>2 and that in the case d=2, this is false, but the Malliavin derivative still exists in L1. A fundamental ingredient is to understand the Sobolev regularity of the function f(t) that expresses the volume of the level t of a “typical” Morse function. (A joint work with Giovanni Peccati.)

Seminar in Statistics - SVEN WANG

13 Nov '23

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Novembre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Sven Wang (Humboldt University Berlin, Germany) Title: *Statistical convergence rates for transport- and ODE-based generative models* Abstract: Measure transport provides a powerful toolbox for estimation and generative modelling of complicated probability distributions. The common principle is to learn a transport map which couples a tractable (e.g. uniform or normal) reference distribution to some complicated target distribution, e.g. by maximizing a likelihood objective. In this talk, we discuss recent advances in statistical convergence guarantees for such methods. While a general theory is developed, we will primarily treat (1) triangular maps which are the building blocks for ’autoregressive normalizing flows’ and (2) ODE-based maps, defined through an ODE flow. The latter encompasses NeuralODEs, a popular method for generative modeling. Our results imply that transport methods achieve minimax-optimal convergence rates for non-parametric density estimation over Hölder classes on the unit cube. Based on the papers arXiv:2207.10231 and arXiv:2309.01043, joint with Youssef Marzouk (MIT, United States), Robert Ren (MIT, United States) and Jakob Zech (U Heidelberg, Germany). ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84606225203?pwd=aFhFa2RKaWtVd2V6R2Rpc05hRGNodz09> 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/>

[owps] One world probability seminar on Thursday 16 November
by Ilya Chevyrev 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (November 16) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC time. The speakers of this session are Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre) and Thomas Finn (Durham University). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Coexistence in competing first-passage percolation Abstract: Consider the following random competition model on a given graph G that is driven by two first-passage percolation processes FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda. Initially, FPP_1 occupies a single site and FPP_\lambda is dormant in seeds that are placed on the sites of G as a product of Bernoulli measures of parameter p. Then, FPP_1 spreads through the edges of G at rate 1 and FPP_\lambda spreads from seeds at rate \lambda when that seed is attempted to be occupied by either FPP_1 or FPP_\lambda. Once a site is occupied by either process it remains occupied by that process henceforth. This model is known as first-passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE) and was first introduced by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19. In the first talk, we establish that FPPHE is non-monotone in the sense that increasing p or \lambda may increase the probability that FPP_1 occupies infinitely many sites through constructing a quasi-transitive graph where such behaviour holds. The non-monotonicity of FPPHE makes understanding the phase transitions of the model extremely challenging. We prove that a regime of coexistence exists on hyperbolic and non-amenable vertex transitive graphs where both FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda concurrently occupy infinite connected components with positive probability. In the second talk, we prove that a regime of coexistence also holds on Z^d for d>2 through the introduction of a refined multi-scale analysis that can handle non-equilibrium and non-monotone processes. We relate this proof to recent work on multi-particle diffusion limited aggregation by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19 and the SIR model by Dauvergne and Sly ’22 where FPPHE is a crucial analytical tool in understanding non-equilibrium particle systems. Based on joint work with Alexandre Stauffer. Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre). Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Thomas Finn (Durham University).

Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- 22 novembre ore 16.00 - aula 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: https://meet.google.com/ign-wqer-sjs *Finite-sample exact prediction bands for functional data* *Prof. Simone Vantini, Politecnico di Milano* *Abstract:* The talk will deal with the key challenge of creating prediction bands for a new observation in the functional data framework given a training set of observed functional data and possibly in presence of covariates, either scalar, categorical, or functional. Starting from the investigation of the literature concerning this topic, we propose an innovative approach building on top of Conformal Prediction and Functional Data Analysis able to overcome the main drawbacks associated to the existing approaches. Under minimal distributional assumptions (i.e., exchangeability of the random functions), we will show how the new proposed nonparametric method (i) is able to provide prediction regions which could visualized in the form of bands, (ii) is guaranteed with exact coverage probability also for finite sample sizes, and finally (iii) is computational efficient. Different specifications of the method will be compared in terms of efficiency in some simulated and real case scenarios also in the case of multi-dimensional domain and/or codomain. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VJXOiNVwkDI8w2wE0hMqcjFgVzEa7vi4?us…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea Bongiorno,PhD Associate Professor of Statistics Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Via Perrone 18, 28100, Novara, Italia Phone: +390321375317 enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it upobook.uniupo.it/enea.bongiorno

R: Seminario di Probabilità e Finanza
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (10 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Bernardo D’Auria (Università di Padova) Title: An optimal stopping problem for Gauss-Markov bridges Date: November 10, 2023 at 14:30, room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, University of Padova Abstract: In this talk I’ll present a work I’ve been recently interested in. It consists in finding the optimal barrier strategy that maximizes the expected value of a Gauss-Markov bridge. The Gauss-Markov bridges are a general class of processes, obtained by conditioning a Gaussian Markov process to end in a specific point at a specific terminal time, or expiration date. This class includes the Brownian bridge and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridge process as special cases, and its members have the property to be non-homogeneous in time and with an unbounded drift near the expiration date. I’m going to show that a feasible way to deal with the optimal stopping problem is to use a time-space transformation that allows to reduce it to an infinite horizon problem about a Brownian motion. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto e Alekos

This functional is considered as a perturbation of the expected mean residual life via some power weight function. This point of view leads to the introduction of the dual cumulative Tsallis entropy and of two families of coherent risk measures generalizing those built on mean residual life. We characterize the finiteness of the cumulative Tsallis entropy in terms of Lp-spaces and show how they determine the underlying distribution. We also study the range of the Tsallis cumulative entropy under various constraints. In the symmetric case with finite variance, whereas the maximization of the Tsallis differential entropy gives rise to the classical q−Gaussian distribution which is a perturbation of the Gaussian distribution having a finite range or heavy tails, the maximization of the cumulative Tsallis entropy leads to an analogous perturbation of the Logistic distribution.

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to forward you the invitation to the following seminar organized by LTI@UniTO and CCA. The seminar can be attended online via zoom (link below). Best regards, Luca Regis <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeFuBlzkcYLDa5hFz9Ao6/rk…> LTI@Unito and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar *November 7, 2023 | 12:00 - 13:15* *The Real Effects of Dark Trading* *Leonidas Barbopoulos (University of Edinburgh Business School)* *Abstract*. Up to 50% of trading in some stocks is in opaque off-market venues, prompting regulatory debate about dark trading. We analyze the real effects of dark trading and find that it positively impacts corporate investment decisions. In moderate amounts, it makes stock prices more informative, thereby helping managers learn from stock prices, and improving company performance. It also increases manager forecast accuracy and influences decisions during M&As. However, high levels can be harmful. We address identification through a quasi-natural experiment, instrumental variables, and Heckman selection models.

SPASS Seminar: Theresa Lange
by Francesco Grotto 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Regularization by noise of an averaged version of the Navier-Stokes equations* Theresa Lange (University of Bielefeld) The seminar will take place on TUE, 7.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Mancini, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa and streamed online at the link below (*please notice the unusual venue*). The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *In [T16], the author constructs an averaged version of the deterministic three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (3D NSE) which experiences blow-up in finite time. In the last decades, various works have studied suitable perturbations of ill-posed deterministic PDEs in order to prevent or delay such behavior. A promising example is given by a particular choice of transport noise used in [FL21] in the context of the vorticity form of the 3D NSE, and in [FGL21] for more general models. In this talk, we analyze the model in [T16] in view of those two works and discuss the regularization skills of transport noise in the context of the averaged 3D NSE. This is joint work with Martina Hofmanová (U Bielefeld).* *References:* *[T16] T. Tao, Finite time blowup of an averaged three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation.

de Finetti seminar: 8 November, 16:30
by Marco Maggis 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '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: Umut Cetin London School of Economics Title: *Insider trading with penalties and BSDEs* Abstract: We study equilibrium in a continuous time Kyle-Back model with a risk neutral informed trader whose trades are subject to costs, which can also be viewed as legal penalties for illegal insider trading if caught by the authorities. Existence of equilibrium is established under certain assumptions on the asset’s terminal payoff. Informed trader’s value function is related to a BSDE whose terminal condition is determined in equilibrium, which turns out to be the fixed point of a nonlinear operator. Equilibrium also reveals an interesting connection between h-transforms and quadratic BSDEs. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on *November 8, *2023 at *16.30,* Aula Di Rappresentanza, Dipart. Matematica, Università di Milano, Via Saldini 50, Milano. Scientific Committee: Prof. Simone Cerreia-Vioglio (Univ.

Seminar in Statistics - PATRICK REBESCHINI

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 27 Ottobre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Patrick Rebeschini* (Oxford University, UK) Title: *Algorithmic Stability, Generalization, and Privacy for Diffusion Models* Abstract: The acclaimed success of diffusion models sparks a need to formulate theoretical guarantees to explain the generalization capability of such distribution learning methods, despite the high-dimensional nature of the training data and sampling procedures being utilized. Prior efforts accounting for the empirical nature of score matching mechanisms typically hinge on uniform learning strategies, which provide error bounds that are algorithm-agnostic and often yield results that depend exponentially badly on the problem dimension. In this work, we move away from uniform learning approaches and develop algorithm-dependent generalization error bounds based on the framework of algorithmic stability from supervised learning. We introduce the notion of 'score stability’, which encapsulates the score learning process's susceptibility to perturbations in the training data. We show that score-stable algorithms generalize well and generate differentially-private samples. To showcase the applicability of our framework, we consider score functions learned via canonical gradient-based optimization procedures, and establish generalization bounds that display a linear dependence on the dimension. Our bounds are stated with respect to the reverse KL divergence and the maximum mean discrepancy, notions of error commonly used in the analysis and training of diffusion models. (Joint work with Tyler Farghly, George Deligiannidis, and Arnaud Doucet) ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88107896961?pwd=TFZhS01BS3IzZmtSRWZNTWJhNHRNQT09> 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/>

SPASS Seminar: Simon Michaël Schulz
by Francesco Grotto 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Well-posedness and stationary states for a crowded active Brownian system with size-exclusion* by *Simon Michaël Schulz* (Scuola Normale Superiore) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 24.10.2023* at *14:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of 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 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> ------------------------------------------- Abstract: We prove the existence of solutions to a non-linear, non-local, degenerate equation which was previously derived as the formal hydrodynamic limit of an active Brownian particle system, where the particles are endowed with a position and an orientation. This equation incorporates diffusion in both the spatial and angular coordinates, as well as a non-linear non-local drift term, which depends on the angle-independent density. The spatial diffusion is non-linear degenerate and also comprises diffusion of the angle-independent density, which one may interpret as cross-diffusion with infinitely many species. Our proof relies on interpreting the equation as the perturbation of a gradient flow in a Wasserstein-type space. It generalizes the boundedness-by-entropy method to this setting and makes use of a gain of integrability due to the angular diffusion. We also prove uniqueness in the particular case where the non-local drift term is null, and provide existence and uniqueness results for stationary equilibrium solutions. This is joint work with Martin Burger.

Seminars at Sapienza Univ. - 23-24 Oct.
by Luisa Beghin 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Dear all, we are pleased to invite you to the two seminars organised by the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, which can be followed via Zoom. *Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche) *Zoom: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09 *Time:* *Monday 23th of October, at 10.30* *Speaker: *Josè Luis Da Silva (University of Madeira - Portugal) *Title:* A Biorthogonal Approach to Infinite Dimensional Fractional Poisson Measures *Abstract*: We use a biorthogonal approach to the analysis of the infinite dimensional fractional Poisson measure. The complex Hilbert space w.r.t. these measures are described in terms of a proper system of generalized Appell polynomials. The kernels of the monomials may be expressed in terms of the Stirling operators of the first and second kind as well as the falling factorials in infinite dimensions. Associated to this system of Appell polynomials is the dual Appell system which is suitable to describe generalised functions. We then construct and characterize test and generalised functions in terms of integral transform as entire functions. *Time:* *Tuesday 24th of October, at 14.30* *Speaker: *Tobias Kuna (University of L'Aquila) *Title:* An Intrinsic Characterization of Moment Functionals in the Compact Case *Abstract:* We discuss characterizations of linear functionals $L$ on an unital commutative real algebra $A$ which can be represented as integral w.r.t. a compactly supported Radon measure on the character space of $A$. We give a characterization by the following three types of conditions: bounds on the growth of $(L(a^n))_n$, non-negativity of $L$ on Archimedean quadratic models, and continuity of $L$ w.r.t. submultiplicative seminorms on $A$. We will relate each of these conditions to a different technique solving this instance of the moment problem. Surprisingly, we can also provide an exact characterization of the compact support of the representing Radon measure purely in terms of $L$. This is a joint work arXiv:2204.05630 with Maria Infusino, Salma Kuhlmann and Patrick Michalski. Best regards.

One World ABC Seminar: Stefan Radev - 26th October, 1pm Uk time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Dear all, our next One World ABC Seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is quickly approaching. We are happy to inform you that our next OWABC speaker is Stefan Radev<https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, US), who will talk about "More expressive amortized Bayesian inference via joint learning and self-consistency?" on Thursday, the 26th October at 1pm UK time (please notice the different time!) Abstract: We propose “jointly amortized neural approximation” (JANA) to simultaneously learn intractable likelihood functions and posterior densities arising in Bayesian surrogate modeling and simulation-based inference. To this end, we train three complementary networks in an end-to-end fashion: 1) a summary network to compress individual data points, sets, or time series into informative embedding vectors; 2) a posterior network to learn an amortized approximate posterior; and 3) a likelihood network to learn an amortized approximate likelihood. The interaction between these networks opens a new route to amortized marginal likelihood and posterior predictive estimation. Furthermore, we observe that we can increase the efficiency of amortized inference by leveraging the marginal likelihood as a proxy for the self-consistency of Bayes’ rule. Upon perfect approximation, the marginal likelihood is constant across all parameter values by definition. However, approximation error leads to undesirable variance in the marginal likelihood estimates across different parameter values. We formulate violations of this symmetry as a loss function applicable in both likelihood-based and simulation-based scenarios. We demonstrate the utility of these approaches on illustrative Bayesian models, including both simple examples and representative cases. The talk will be streamed on MS Teams, and it can be joined via this link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWQwZjg3NTktNjY4OS00… or via Meeting ID: 389 057 974 73 Passcode: H9uMjk We're looking forward to seeing you next week, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABC Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Associate Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Double seminar: Francesco D'Amore & Isabella Ziccardi at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Dear all, On Thursday, October 19th, at 14h00 (change of usual time!) in Aula Dal Passo at the Math Department of Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host the seminars 14h00 - Francesco D'Amore (Aalto University, Espoo) "The Strong Lottery Ticker Hypothesis and the Random Subset Sum Problem” Abstract: The Strong Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SLTH) posits that randomly-initialized neural networks contain subnetworks (strong lottery tickets) that achieve competitive accuracy when compared to sufficiently small target networks, even those that have been trained. Empirical evidence for this phenomenon was first observed by Ramanujan et al. in 2020, spurring a line of theoretical research: Malach et al. (2020), Pensia et al. (2020), da Cunha et al. (2022), and Burkholz (2022) have analytically proved formulations of the SLTH in various neural network classes and under different hypotheses. In this presentation, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art theoretical research on the SLTH and its connection with the Random Subset Sum (RSS) problem in theoretical computer science. While previous works on the SLTH ensure that the strong lottery ticket can be obtained via unstructured pruning, we demonstrate how recent advances in the multidimensional generalization of the RSS problem can be leveraged to obtain forms of structured pruning. Additionally, we highlight how refining the RSS results would yield tighter formulations of the SLTH. This presentation is based on a joint work with Arthur da Cunha and Emanuele Natale that will be presented at NeurIPS 2023. 15h00 - Isabella Ziccardi (Bocconi) "Distributed Self-Stabilizing MIS Algorithms" Abstract: I will discuss self-stabilizing distributed algorithms that find a Maximal Independent Set in an n-vertex graph. These algorithms share the feature of utilizing randomization to break symmetry. I will compare them based on the following parameters: the number of states used by each node, the knowledge of the graph required by each node, and their stabilization time. The first three algorithms are obtained by reconsidering some existing algorithms and making them self-stabilizing by introducing additional states. The first algorithm gets along with three states, but each node must have knowledge of ∆, the maximum node degree. In the second algorithm, nodes only need to be aware of their degree, but each node v has O(∆(v)) states, where ∆(v) is the degree of v. The third algorithm also requires O(∆(v)) states for each node v, but it works in the restricted beeping communication model. All three algorithms stabilize in O(log n) rounds with high probability. Lastly, I will talk about two algorithms that aim to create self-stabilizing algorithms with a constant number of states while requiring no knowledge of the underlying graph. The first algorithm is a natural process that, despite its simplicity, has received limited attention in the literature. It stabilizes in O(polylog(n)) rounds for specific graph families but may exhibit slower convergence time on general graphs. The final algorithm is a modification of this simple process, that tries to fix the particular situations that slow down the convergence. We encourage in-person partecipation.

One world probability seminar October 19th
by Alberto Chiarini 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Ricevo e inoltro: ------------------------------------------------------ Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be on October 19 (Thursday) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC.The speakers of this session are Martin Hairer (Imperial College and EPFL) and Hao Shen (Wisconsin-Madison). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Talk 1 : Stochastic quantization of Yang-Mills Speaker : Martin Hairer Abstract : We report on recent progress on the problem of building a stochastic process that admits the (hypothetical in 3D) Yang-Mills measure as its invariant measure. One interesting feature of our construction is that it preserves gauge-covariance in the limit even though it is broken by our UV regularisation. This is based on joint work with Ajay Chandra, Ilya Chevyrev, and Hao Shen. Talk 2 : Invariant measure and universality of the 2D Yang-Mills Langevin dynamic Speaker: Hao Shen Abstract : In [CCHS20] by Chandra, Chevyrev, Hairer and S., a Langevin dynamic for 2D Yang-Mills (YM) was constructed on 2D torus. In this talk we discuss some new results based on a joint paper with Chevyrev [CS22]. We prove that the 2D YM measure is invariant for the Langevin dynamic constructed in [CCHS20]. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge-fixing, and Bourgain’s method for invariant measures. In particular, we prove a universality result which states that for a wide class of lattice YM gauge theories, their corresponding Langevin dynamics converge to the same continuum dynamic constructed in [CCHS20]. An important step is a proof of uniqueness for the mass renormalisation of the gauge-covariant continuum Langevin dynamic, which allows us to identify the limit of discrete approximations. As corollaries we obtain a gauge-fixed decomposition of the YM measure into a Gaussian free field and an almost Lipschitz remainder, and a proof of universality for the 2D YM measure under a wide class of discrete approximations.

seminario Federico Capannoli (16 Ottobre, Sapienza)
by Matteo Quattropani 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Salve a tutti, Segnalo il seguente seminario, che avrà luogo Lunedì 16 Ottobre alle ore 17:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza): Speaker: Federico Capannoli (Leiden University) Title: Meeting, Coalescence and Consensus on random directed graphs. Abstract: We consider Markovian dynamics on a typical realization of the so-called Directed Configuration Model (DCM), which is a random directed graph with prescribed in- and out-degrees. In this random geometry, we study the meeting time of two random walks starting at stationarity, the coalescence time for a system of coalescent random walks, and the consensus time of the voter model. Indeed, it is known that the latter three quantities are related to each other when the underlying sequence of graphs satisfies certain mean field conditions. We provide a complete characterization of the distribution of meeting, coalescence and consensus time on a typical random graph as a function of a single quantity θ. More precisely we show that, for a typical large graph from the DCM ensemble, the distribution of the meeting time is well-approximated by an exponential random variable. Furthermore, we provide the precise first-order approximation of its expectation, showing that the latter is linear in the size of the graph, and the explicit preconstant θ depends on some easy statistics of the degree sequence. As a consequence, we can analyze the effect of the degree sequence on the expected meeting time and, via some explicit examples, how its regularity/variability play crucial roles in the information diffusion. This is based on a joint work with Luca Avena (University of Florence), Rajat Subhra Hazra (Leiden University) and Matteo Quattropani (Sapienza, University of Rome). Saluti, Matteo Quattropani

Post-doc position in mathematical statistics in Tartu (Estonia)
by Daniela Bertacchi 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Ricevo e inoltro: ******************************************* *Post-doc position in mathematical statistics in Tartu (Estonia)* https://jobrxiv.org/job/university-of-tartu-27778-postdoc-position-in-mathe… *Announcement* The Institute of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Tartu is seeking to fill the post of a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in mathematical statistics. The fixed-term position is scheduled for a duration of 1 year, the regular full employment time is 40 hours per week. The institute is located at the University of Tartu Delta Centre, https://delta.ut.ee/en <https://delta.ut.ee/en%E2%80%9D> The successful candidate will join the research project “Statistical modelling with hidden Markov models and model validation” under supervision of Prof Jüri Lember and Ass Prof Kristi Kuljus. Project description: Manyfold Markov models are generalizations of hidden Markov models (HMM). A manyfold Markov model is a multi-dimensional Markov chain, where typically some of the marginal processes are considered as latent variables. Mostly two- or three- dimensional models – called pairwise or triplet Markov models (PMM or TMM) – are studied. Such a general approach yields a large and flexible class of dynamical models, thus, for instance, HMM is just a very narrow subclass of TMMs. The purpose of the project is to study different inference problems related to these Markov models, an important research direction is segmentation or decoding. The research combines theory with practice, involving working out the corresponding probability-theoretical framework as well as necessary dynamic programming algorithms, studying their properties and implementing the methods to real data. Both frequentist and Bayesian settings will be considered. Requirements: Candidates should hold a PhD degree in mathematical statistics or mathematics. Good command of written and spoken English is expected. Candidates are invited to submit their application (CV, list of publications, a scanned copy of the PhD diploma, brief motivation letter, and contacts for at least two references). Application deadline is November 15, 2023; expected start date is January 1, 2024.

Papagiannouli. https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/sslapdys -------------------------------------------- * Title: Understanding Neural Networks with Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces* Abstract: *Characterizing the function spaces corresponding to neural networks can provide a way to understand their properties. The talk is devoted to show how the theory of reproducing kernel Banach spaces can be used to characterize the function spaces corresponding to neural networks. In particular, I will show a representer theorem for a class of reproducing kernel Banach spaces, which includes one hidden layer neural networks of possibly infinite width. Furthermore, I will prove that, for a suitable class of ReLU activation functions, the norm in the corresponding reproducing kernel Banach space can be characterized in terms of the inverse Radon transform of a bounded real measure. * *The talk is based on joint work with F. Bartolucci, L. Rosasco and S. Vigogna.*

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (13 ottobre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Università di Padova (Torre Archimede) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Matteo Quattropani (Università la Sapienza di Roma) Title: Mixing of the Averaging process on graphs Date: October 13, 2023 at 14:30, room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, Padova; in presenza Abstract: The Averaging process (a.k.a. repeated averages) is a mass redistribution model over the vertex set of a graph. Given a graph G, the process starts with a non-negative mass associated to each vertex. The edges of G are equipped with Poissonian clocks: when an edge rings, the masses at the two extremes of the edge are equally redistributed on these two vertices. Clearly, as time grows to infinity, the state of the system will converge (in some sense) to a flat configuration in which all the vertices have the same mass. This very simple process has been introduced to the probabilistic community by Aldous and Lanoue in 2012. However, up to few years ago, there was no graph for which sharp quantitative results on the time needed to reach equilibrium were available. Indeed, the analysis of this process requires different tools compared to the classical Markov chain framework, and even in the case of seemingly straightforward geometries—such as the complete graph or the 1-d torus—it can be handled only by means of non trivial probabilistic and functional analytic techniques. During the talk, I’ll try to give a broad overview of the problem and of its difficulties, and I'll present the few examples that have been completely settled. Based on joint work with P. Caputo (Roma Tre) and F. Sau (Università di Trieste) Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

PhD position in Probability Theory at TU Delft
by Elena Pulvirenti 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Dear all, could you help me share this position? If you know of any suitable candidate, I would be grateful if you could bring the position to their attention! With many thanks and best regards, Elena ************ The Institute of Applied Mathematics at *TU Delft* invites applications for a *PhD position in Probability Theory* We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to work under the supervision of Dr. E. Pulvirenti, Assistant professor in the *Applied Probability* group of Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM). The PhD position is in the area of probability theory and statistical mechanics. The PhD project is a NWO funded "open competition project" which deals with the study of metastability for dilute spin systems. These are classical models of statistical mechanics with bond disorder, i.e. where deterministic pair interactions are replaced by random variables. The main objective is to develop a robust mathematical approach to study the metastable behaviour of these models. Metastability is a universal phenomenon, where a system spends a long time in a state of "pseudo equilibrium" until it crosses over to a stable state. This project aims at identifying the quantities characterising the stochastic nature of this phenomenon, such as the average and the distribution of the random transition time. The candidate should: - Hold a master's degree in mathematics or theoretical physics; - Have a profound knowledge of probability and mathematical physics\statistical mechanics; - Have eagerness to explore complex mathematical challenges; - Have English proficiency both written and spoken; - Be able to work both independently and collaboratively. Are you interested in this vacancy? Please apply before *19 November 2023* via the application button and upload your the following material: - A motivation letter (max. 2 pages) addressed to Elena Pulvirenti. The motivation letter should summarize: (i) why you would like to do a PhD, (ii) why you are interested in the project/topic, (iii) why your profile is suitable for the job, and (iv) what you hope to gain from the position; - A detailed CV (with contact information of 2-3 references); - A transcript of BSc and MSc grades; - The candidates bachelor's and master's theses (if available online, a link is sufficient). If available, a summary of the theses can be added; - Optional: (draft) versions of papers that you have submitted/published. You will be contacted by Elena Pulvirenti for an interview if you are among the leading candidates, in which case more specific information will be provided. For scientific inquiries regarding this vacancy, please contact Elena Pulvirenti, via email: E.Pulvirenti(a)tudelft.nl. In order to simplify communication, please add the prefix [PhDPulvirenti2023] to the email's subject.

(PMS)^2 talks: G. Zheng and G. Amir
by Maurizia Rossi 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - *talks*: Speaker: *Guangqu Zheng* (University of Liverpool) Title: CLT and almost sure CLT for hyperbolical Anderson model with Lévy noise. (Abstract below.) Speaker: *Gidi Amir* (Bar Ilan University) Title: Speed, entropy and other quantities of random walks on groups. (Abstract below.) Date and time: *Tuesday October 10, 10:30-12:30 (Rome time zone) * Place: Dept. of Mathematics and Applications, *Università di Milano-Bicocca*, *room 3014* (*U5/RATIO* building). *Webex meeting link*: https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=md61ac6bd0a0c3288815a386b472b… *ID meeting*: 2741 951 7655 *Password*: mwCpfq3tr54 - *Abstract (Zheng)*. In this talk, we will first briefly mention the recent research on CLT results of random field solutions to stochastic heat equations and stochastic wave equations with various Gaussian noises. Then, we will talk about the spatial ergodicity (first order result) and CLT (second order fluctuation) for a stochastic linear wave equation driven by Lévy noise, which is based on a joint work with R. Balan (Ottawa) [arXiv:2302.14178]. Finally, we will talk about the associated almost sure central limit theorem, based on a joint work with R. Balan (Ottawa) and P. Xia (Auburn). *Abstract (Amir)*. Given a (finitely supported, symmetric) random walk X_n on a countable groups G, one may consider several quantities associated to the random walk, such as the expected distance E|X_n|, its Shannon entropy H(X_n), its return probabilities P(X_n=id) and more. For example, on polynomial growth groups (e.g. Z^d) it is well known the walk is always diffusive, has logarithmic entropy and polynomial decaying return probabilities, while on the free group the speed and entropy of a random walk increase linearly with n and the return probabilities decay exponentially. A natural problem is to understand what are the possible range of behaviours of such quantities for random walks on groups and how they relate to other group properties. In this lecture I will survey some old and new results on the subject, including some more recent works on speed and entropy of random walks on intermediate growth groups and on possible behaviours of the Law of Iterated Logarithm. The talk is based on joint works with B. Virag, G. Blachar, C. Saroussi and T. Zheng, though we will also touch upon works by A. Erschler, and by J. Brieussel and T. Zheng. All notions will be defined in the talk, and in particular no knowledge of groups is required for the talk. - These talks are part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico. Participation is free and welcome!

(PMS)^2 talk: Mario Maurelli
by Margherita Zanella 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: Mario Maurelli (Università di Pisa) Title: Existence and uniqueness by Kraichnan noise for 2D Euler equations with unbounded vorticity. Abstract: We consider the incompressible Euler equations in two or three dimensions and we show that the addition of a suitable multiplicative It\^o noise with superlinear growth prevents a smooth solution from blowing up in finite time. The result is valid for a more general hyperbolic-type SPDE. The proof is based on the Lyapunov function method. We consider the 2D Euler equations on $\\mathbb{R}^2$ in vorticity form, with unbounded initial vorticity, perturbed by a suitable non-smooth Kraichnan transport noise, with regularity index $\\alpha\\in (0,1)$. We show weak existence for every $\\dot{H}^{-1}$ initial vorticity. Thanks to the noise, the solutions that we construct are limits in law of a regularized stochastic Euler equation and enjoy an additional $L^2([0,T];H^{-\\alpha})$ regularity. For every $p>3/2$ and for certain regularity indices $\\alpha \\in (0,1/2)$ of the Kraichnan noise, we show also pathwise uniqueness for every $L^p$ initial vorticity. This result is not known without noise. Joint work with Michele Coghi. Date and time: Tuesday 10 October, 14:30-15:30 (Rome time zone).

SPASS Seminar: Alexandre Gaudillière, 10 October, 11:00, Florence
by Gianmarco Bet 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): Too many frogs cannot fall sleep by Alexandre Gaudillière (CNRS) The seminars will take place on TUE, 10.10.2023 at 11:00 CET in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica “Ulisse Dini", University of Florence and streamed online (see seminar website for the URL). The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttps://sites.g…> -------------------------------------------- Too many frogs cannot fall sleep Abstract: We prove the existence of an active phase for activated random walks on the lattice in all dimensions. This interacting particle system is made of two kinds of random walkers, or frogs: active and sleeping frogs. Active frogs perform simple random walks, wake up all sleeping frogs on their trajectory and fall asleep at constant rate $\lambda$. Sleeping frogs stay where they are up to activation, when waken up by an active frog. At a large enough density, which is increasing in $\lambda$ but always less than one, such frogs on the torus form a metastable system. We prove that $n$ active frogs in a cramped torus will typically need an exponentially long time to collectively fall asleep ---exponentially long in $n$.

Domani si terrà all'università di Trento e in via telematica un seminario di Zdzislaw Brzezniak. Tutte le informazioni a seguire. Saluti, Michele Stochastic wave equations with constraints: well-posedness and Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation *Luogo:* l'evento si terrà in presenza in Aula Seminari "1" a Povo0 e per via telematica attraverso collegamento alla piattaforma Zoom; per partecipare sarà necessario collegarsi al link seguente e inserire i codici di accesso (da condividere solo con contatti fidati): https://unitn.zoom.us/j/82578903026 Topic: Trento Probability Seminars Meeting ID: 825 7890 3026 Passcode: 978062 *Data:* Mercoledì 4 ottobre *Ore:* 17:00 *Relatore:* - *Zdzislaw Brzezniak* (University of York) *Abstract: * I will discuss the well-posedness of a class of stochastic second-order in time-damped evolution equations in Hilbert spaces, subject to the constraint that the solution lies on the unit sphere. A specific example is provided by the stochastic damped wave equation in a bounded domain of a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, endowed with the Dirichlet boundary conditions, with the added constraint that the $L^2$-norm of the solution is equal to one. We introduce a small mass $\mu>0$ in front of the second-order derivative in time and examine the validity of the Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation. We demonstrate that, in the small mass limit, the solution converges to the solution of a stochastic parabolic equation subject to the same constraint. We further show that an extra noise-induced drift emerges, which in fact does not account for the Stratonovich-to-It\^{o} correction term. This talk is based on joint research with S. Cerrai (Maryland). *Referenti*: Stefano Bonaccorsi, Michele Coghi, Luigi Amedeo Bianchi Per conoscere i prossimi eventi è possibile consultare la pagina *https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/118024/trento-probability-seminars-20232024 <https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/118024/trento-probability-seminars…>* Gli eventi passati si trovano alla pagina *https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/114273/trento-probability-seminars-20222023 <https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/114273/trento-probability-seminars…>*

Please see below for details about four open positions in the Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University. My best, Mario Position Overview The Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University seeks to fill four tenure-track faculty positions at the following ranks: assistant (two positions), assistant or associate (one position), and open rank (one position). Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the research, teaching and service missions of the department. Candidates with expertise in all research areas of statistics are encouraged to apply. Preferred areas of interest include (i) high-dimensional data; (ii) the foundations of data science; and (iii) complex dependence structures. We interpret each of these areas broadly. High-dimensional data analysis, for example, is motivated by modern, massive data sets that present computational, modeling, and/or statistical challenges. It is also motivated by data whose dimension is of the same order or exceeds the sample size. The foundations of data science include, for example, algorithmic modeling, large-scale computation, and theory for understanding algorithmic models and their evaluation, as well as related applications. Complex data structures include, as examples, data that are measured in space and time, live in non-standard spaces (functional data, shape data, network data), include individual heterogeneity (random effects), or have unmeasured covariates and unknown relationships (latent variable models). The appointment will be at a level commensurate with the applicant's experience. Applicants must specify the desired appointment rank in their cover letter. Education and Experience Requirements Required: A Ph.D. in Statistics or related field by the start of employment. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, in line with OSU's Shared Values<https://oaa.osu.edu/shared-values-initiative>.

LTI@UniTO Seminar: Diego Garcia | October 2, 2023 @ 12:00 - 13:00
by Luca Regis 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to invite you to the following seminar in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto (CCA), which will take place at CCA in Torino and can be followed via Zoom. At the event page link you can find the zoom link to attend online and a button to add the event to your calendars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 2nd @ 12.00 Speaker: Diego Garcia (University of Colorado Boulder) Title: New Consumption in the Wild Abstract: We study how market returns shape news consumption, employing 700 million pageviews over 27 months from Australia’s largest financial newspaper, the Australian Financial Review. Aggregate news consumption intensifies on days when the Australian market index decreases, led by a dramatic spike in consumption of markets news. By contrast, firm-specific news consumption declines when the aggregate market moves more (up or down). These findings imply aggregate and firm-specific news are substitutes for one another, consistent with theories of limited attention. These news consumption effects are strongest for fresh news, but they are also present for stale news articles on days when there are no articles about the firm. Joint with Tony Cookson and Elvis Jarnecic Event webpage link: https://www.carloalberto.org/event/diego-garcia-university-of-colorado-boul… Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89773170403?pwd=UDZDMS9BSzU5ckxqWG1yOGVzSkZzZz09#… <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86924691100?pwd=TGcxeGpoM0dTR1FxaU9hQVM1SmlnUT09> Best regards, Luca Regis

Fwd: Lezione LEONARDESCA - DUMINIL-COPIN - 9 ottobre
by Maurizia Rossi 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Cari tutti, Ricevo e inoltro con piacere. Cordiali saluti, MR ---------- Messaggio inoltrato --------- Da: Kevin Ray Payne <kevin.payne(a)unimi.it> Data: mer 27 set 2023 alle 16:24 Oggetto: Lezione LEONARDESCA - DUMINIL-COPIN - 9 ottobre A: *Lezioni LEONARDESCHE * Lunedì 9 ottobre 2023, ore 16.30, in Sala Adunanze dell’Istituto Lombardo, Academia di Scienze e Lettere, Palazzo Brera, in Via Brera 28 <https://www.google.com/maps/search/Via+Brera+28?entry=gmail&source=g> il Professore *HUGO DUMINIL-COPIN* *IHES and Université de Genève * parlerà su *Critical Phenomena through the Lens of the Ising Model * ABSTRACT: The Ising model is one of the most classical lattice models of statistical physics undergoing a phase transition. Initially imagined as a model for ferromagnetism, it revealed itself as a very rich mathematical object and a powerful theoretical tool to understand cooperative phenomena. Over one hundred years of its history, a profound understanding of its critical phase has been obtained. While integrability and mean-field behavior led to extraordinary breakthroughs in the two-dimensional and high-dimensional cases respectively, the model in three and four dimensions remained mysterious for years. In this talk, we will present recent progress in these dimensions based on a probabilistic interpretation of the Ising model relating it to percolation models. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Hugo Duminil-Copin is a dynamic, energetic, and collaborative mathematician whose numerous contributions to statistical physics have justifiably earned him worldwide recognition and numerous awards. His work has centered on using ideas from probability theory to study the critical behavior of various models on networks. His work has revolutionized our understanding of percolation theory by identifying the critical point at which phase transitions occur and by characterizing the behavior of the system above, below and at the critical point. For his many and profound contributions to the understanding of probabilistic models at or near the critical point, Duminil-Copin was awarded the Fields Medal in 2022. Duminil-Copin received his Ph.D at the Université de Genève in 2012 under the direction of fellow Field’s Medalist Stanislav Smirnov with a thesis that exploited percolation theory and combinatorics to investigate the number of self-avoiding walks in hexagonal lattices that was published in the Annals of Mathematics. A series of prestigious prizes followed, including the Rollo Davidson Prize (2012), the Oberwolfach Prize (2013), the European Mathematical Prize (2016) and many others before receiving the Fields Medal. Duminil-Copin is Full Professor at the Université de Genève since 2014 (just two years after the Ph.D) and Permanent Professor at the IHES since 2016.

Reminder :: DEMS Bicocca Statistics seminar - Victor M. Panaretos - September 27th at 12 pm
by Alessia Caponera 25 Sep '23

25 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, We remind you about the seminar of Victor M. Panaretos (EPFL), on *Wednesday the* *27th of September at 12:00 pm*, at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Department of Management, Economics, and Statistics (DEMS). The seminar will be held in presence at the DEMS seminar room 2104 (building U7 Civitas, 2nd floor). ******************************************************* *Time: *Wednesday September 27th, at 12:00 pm *Place: *University of Milano-Bicocca | DEMS | Room 2104 (building U7 Civitas, 2nd floor) *Title: *Graphical Models for Stochastic Processes *Speaker:* Victor M. Panaretos (Institute of Mathematics, EPFL) *Abstract:* Graphical models allow us to distinguish direct and indirect associations in data. They can be used as models or they can be the targets of inference, and have been extensively studied in many contexts, the most recent emphasis being in high-dimensional statistics. For the most part, one considers a collection of random vectors indexed by a finite or discrete set. The purpose of this talk is to explore what happens when we are interested in the associations within and between stochastic processes. In the first case, we are dealing with graphical models with uncountable rather than discrete index set. In the latter case, we are dealing with graphical models for finite collections of function-valued random variables. Such settings introduce conceptual challenges owing to the lack of infinite-dimensional analogues of familiar algebraic tools, such as matrix inverses and determinants. It will turn out that the two problems share commonalities but also notable differences. Based on joint work with Kartik Waghmare (EPFL) and Tomas Masak (EPFL). ******************************************************* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

Seminar by G. Giacomin (LPSM Paris) in Padova
by Giorgia Callegaro 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Dear all, you are kindly invited to attend the seminar given in Padova by Prof. G. Giacomin. Here are the details: * Date: 30 October 2023 * Room: 2AB40, Torre Archimede * Title: Products of random matrices and the statistical mechanics of disordered Ising chains * Abstract: A general issue in statistical mechanics is understanding the role of disorder: disordered models are models that are made more realistic by allowing the presence of impurities. We consider this question in the basic context of Ising spin chains with nearest neighbor interaction J and random external field (the disorder). The matrix transfer method allows to rewrite the model in terms of a product of random matrices: in particular, the free energy density coincides with the top Lyapunov exponent. I will explain why the limit of J tending to infinity is of particular interest. As a matter of fact, for this limit one finds in the physical literature a remarkable prediction based on a renormalization group approach (work of Daniel Fisher in the 90s). We (collaboration with Orphée Collin and Yueyun Hu) have recently proven this prediction in the case in which the external field is centered. I will explain the result and some ideas from the proof by highlighting the interplay that arises in this problem between the theory of random matrix products and stochastic analysis. The seminar will *only* be in presence.

Seminars at Ca' Foscari University: Melvyn Weeks, University of Cambridge
by Roberto CASARIN 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Dear all, I am pleased to invite you to the seminar organised by the Department of Economics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, which can be followed via Zoom. Time: Wednesday 27th of September, at 10.30 Location: Campus San Giobbe, Meeting Room 1 Zoom: https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/77644 Speaker: Melvyn Weeks (University of Cambridge) Title: Making Sense of Natural Language: Measuring Cultural Fit and Its Impact on Managerial Tenure Abstract: We create measures for managers' cultural fit using one of the latest machine learning technologies – the sentence embedding model - by analysing 11.5 million speeches in earnings calls. A better cultural fit is significantly and positively correlated with managerial tenure. We demonstrate that the effect of cultural fit on managerial tenure is causal using causal survival forests. Firms that hire culturally disruptive managers have lower future market values and performance. The stock market reacts positively to signals that indicate low cultural dispersion within the firm. -- Roberto Casarin, PhD Professor of Econometrics Ca' Foscari University of Venice San Giobbe 873/b - 30121 Venezia, Italy http://sites.google.com/view/robertocasarin/ https://www.unive.it/vera <https://www.unive.it/isba2024> https://www.unive.it/isba2024 -- Nota automatica aggiunta dal sistema di posta *Sostieni il futuro* Dona il tuo 5x1000 al Collegio Internazionale Ca' Foscari *FINANZIAMENTO DELLA RICERCA SCIENTIFICA E DELLA UNIVERSITÀ | CODICE FISCALE: 80007720271*

OWABC seminar - Carlo Albert - September 28, 9am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Dear all, the 5th Season of the One World ABC www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is about to start. We are working on the lineup, after having secured some exciting talks (more info to come). If you are interested in giving a talk or would like to suggest a speaker, please get in touch with Massimiliano Tamborrino (massimiliano.tamborrino(a)warwick.ac.uk) or any of the other organisers. Our first speaker is Carlo Albert<https://www.eawag.ch/en/about-us/portrait/organisation/staff/profile/carlo-…>, who is talking about "Learning summary statistics for Bayesian inference with Autoencoders" on Thursday the 28th September at 9am UK time, with an abstract reported below. The talk will be streamed on Zoom https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/69069218828 Password: 594071 We are looking forward to seeing you next Thursday, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OneWorldABC Organisers Date: Thursday, September 28, 9am UK time Speaker: Carlo Albert<https://www.eawag.ch/en/about-us/portrait/organisation/staff/profile/carlo-…>, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology Title: Learning summary statistics for Bayesian inference with Autoencoders Abstract: In order for ABC to give accurate results and be efficient, we need summary statistics that retain most of the parameter-related information and cancel out most of the noise, respectively. For many scientific applications, we need strictly more summary statistics than model parameters to reach a satisfactory approximation of the posterior. Therefore, we propose to use a latent representation of deep neural networks based on Autoencoders as summary statistics. To create an incentive for the encoder to encode all the parameter-related information but not the noise, we give the decoder access to explicit or implicit information on the noise that has been used to generate the training data. We validate the approach empirically on two types of stochastic models, one being a member of the exponential family, the other one not. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Associate Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminars at Ca' Foscari University: Dimitris Korobilis, University of Glasgow
by Roberto CASARIN 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Dear Colleagues, It is my pleasure to invite you to the seminar organised by the Department of Economics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, which can be followed via Zoom. Time: Monday 25, at 12.15 Location: Campus San Giobbe, Meeting Room 1 Zoom: https://www.unive.it/data/33113/3/76558 Speaker: Dimitris Korobilis (University of Glasgow)Title: Monitoring Multicountry Macroeconomic Risk Abstract: We propose a multicountry quantile factor augmented vector autoregression (QFAVAR) to model heterogeneities both across countries and across characteristics of the distributions of macroeconomic time series. The presence of quantile factors allows for summarizing these two heterogeneities in a parsimonious way. We develop two algorithms for posterior inference that feature varying level of trade-off between estimation precision and computational speed. Using monthly data for the euro area, we establish the good empirical properties of the QFAVAR as a tool for assessing the effects of global shocks on country-level macroeconomic risks. In particular, QFAVAR short-run tail forecasts are more accurate compared to a FAVAR with symmetric Gaussian errors, as well as univariate quantile autoregressions that ignore comovements among quantiles of macroeconomic variables. We also illustrate how quantile impulse response functions and quantile connectedness measures, resulting from the new model, can be used to implement joint risk scenario analysis.

Seminario Woess 27 settembre ore 14:30 Milano-Bicocca
by Daniela Bertacchi 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

Università di Milano-Bicocca *AVVISO DI SEMINARIO* Il prof. Wolfgang Woess (TU Graz, Austria), mercoledì 27 settembre, alle ore 14:30, nella stanza 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni (terzo piano U5), terrà un seminario dal titolo *Boundary behaviour of branching Markov chains* *Abstract: * We study multitype branching Markov chains on denumerable state(= type) spaces in discrete time. It is supposed that the offspring distributions satisfy a uniform "L log L" moment condition with state-independent expected offspring number, and that the associated "base" Markov chain on the state space is transient and irreducible. Given the population at time n at the different states, we normalize it by dividing by its total number. The resulting empirical distribution is a random probability measure on the state space. Assuming that the latter is equipped with a "geometric" compactification with a boundary at infinity, a main focus is on the question whether the sequence of empirical distributions converges a.s. weakly to a random probability distribution on the boundary. This is joint work with Vadim A. Kaimanovich (Ottawa), to appear in Ann. Inst Poincare' Prob. Stat. There is related, parallel work by Candellero and Hutchcroft. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Si avvisa che in data 21-09-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, in aula 16B.2.1, nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Sesia Matteo, University of Southern California Titolo: Adaptive conformal classification with noisy labels Abstract: This work develops novel conformal prediction methods for classification tasks that can automatically adapt to random label contamination in the calibration sample, enabling more informative prediction sets with stronger coverage guarantees compared to state-of-the-art approaches. This is made possible by a precise theoretical characterization of the effective coverage inflation (or deflation) suffered by standard conformal inferences in the presence of label contamination, which is then made actionable through new calibration algorithms. Our solution is flexible and can leverage different modeling assumptions about the label contamination process, while requiring no knowledge about the data distribution or the inner workings of the machine-learning classifier. The advantages of the proposed methods are demonstrated through extensive simulations and an application to object classification with the CIFAR-10H image data set.

Cari colleghi, vi segnalo il prossimo seminario della serie Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics (SMS) https://sites.google.com/view/torinostochastics/home-page *Data:* *Mer 20 Settembre *alle ore* 14.00-15.00* *Luogo*: *Aula C*, Palazzo Campana, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Torino *Speaker:** Davide Trevisani* (Universitade da Coruña and CITIC) *Titolo*: A brief introduction to XVA and KVA *Abstract**: * Differently from some financial asset classes whose risks can belong to a wide market segment, many derivatives are closely tied to counterparty risk. Already at the end of ’90s, and definitively with the great crisis of 2007-2008, quantifying such risk gained great importance in financial industry. However, nowadays, institutions are not merely concerned with coping with default events but also with the expenses associated with such risks. These expenditures are primarily driven by regulatory requirements and contractual obligations. Quantifying these costs is the aim of Value Adjustments (XVAs). In this talk, we briefly present the mathematical framework of market with dividends. We then examine a pricing model with KVA (Capital Value Adjustment). Si invitano tutti gli interessati a partecipare.

DEMS Bicocca Statistics seminar - Victor M. Panaretos - September 27th at 12 pm
by Alessia Caponera 13 Sep '23

13 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the seminar of Victor M. Panaretos (EPFL), on *Wednesday the* *27th of September at 12:00 pm*, at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Department of Management, Economics, and Statistics (DEMS). The seminar will be held in presence at the DEMS seminar room 2104 (building U7 Civitas, 2nd floor). ******************************************************* *Time: *Wednesday September 27th, at 12:00 pm *Place: *University of Milano-Bicocca | DEMS | Room 2104 (building U7 Civitas, 2nd floor) *Title: *Graphical Models for Stochastic Processes *Speaker:* Victor M. Panaretos (Institute of Mathematics, EPFL) *Abstract:* Graphical models allow us to distinguish direct and indirect associations in data. They can be used as models or they can be the targets of inference, and have been extensively studied in many contexts, the most recent emphasis being in high-dimensional statistics. For the most part, one considers a collection of random vectors indexed by a finite or discrete set. The purpose of this talk is to explore what happens when we are interested in the associations within and between stochastic processes. In the first case, we are dealing with graphical models with uncountable rather than discrete index set. In the latter case, we are dealing with graphical models for finite collections of function-valued random variables. Such settings introduce conceptual challenges owing to the lack of infinite-dimensional analogues of familiar algebraic tools, such as matrix inverses and determinants. It will turn out that the two problems share commonalities but also notable differences. Based on joint work with Kartik Waghmare (EPFL) and Tomas Masak (EPFL). ******************************************************* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

SPASS Seminars: Giuseppe Cannizzaro and Giacomo di Gesù
by Francesco Grotto 13 Sep '23

13 Sep '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following (double) SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstracts below): *Weak coupling scaling of critical SPDEs* by *Giuseppe Cannizzaro *(University of Warwick) *Sharp asymptotics for the Allen-Cahn equation in the limit of small noise and large volume* by* Giacomo di Gesù* (La Sapienza) The seminars will take place on *TUE, 19.9.2023* respectively at *14:00 CET and 15:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of 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 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *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 some stationary SPDEs at the critical dimension. Our techniques are inspired by the resolvent method developed by Landim, Olla, Yau, Varadhan, 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. *Sharp asymptotics for the Allen-Cahn equation in the limit of small noise and large volume* Abstract: We consider the Allen-Cahn equation on a finite interval perturbed by space-time white noise. Keeping the size of the spatial domain fixed, the dynamics becomes metastable in the limit of vanishing noise. I will review some sharp metastability estimates in this regime and discuss how the invariant measure and long-time behavior is affected if one allows the system size to grow while the noise vanishes (joint work with L. Bertini and P. Buttà).

We present the structure and the properties. We then move to consider hedging and consider the explicit computation of quadratic hedging strategies. the theoretical solution is well-known in terms of the non-anticipating derivative for all square integrable claims, the fact that these models are typically non-Markovian provides a concrete difficulty in the direct computation of conditional expectations at the core of the explicit hedging strategy. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a Markovian approximation of the model which stems from an adequate approximation of the kernel in the Volterra noise. We show some numerical simulations performed with different methods.

A ‘replicability crisis’ has been claimed in the last decades, denouncing that a large part of published research findings, especially in applied sciences, such as psychology or medicine failed to be confirmed by subsequent studies. Difficulties in moving from empirical evidence and data analysis to a scientific result push towards the need to clarify various aspects, such as rigorous definitions, the possible tools for understanding and communicating the uncertainty inherent in most scientific conclusions, the definition of non-questionable research practices.

SPASS Seminars: Gigliola Staffilani and Vanessa Jacquier
by Andrea Agazzi 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following (double) SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstracts below): Some recent developments in wave turbulence theory by *Gigliola Staffilani* (MIT) Homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in the three-state Blume-Capel model by* Vanessa Jacquier* (University of Utrecht) The seminars will take place on *TUE, 12.9.2023* respectively at *14:00 CET and 15:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of 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 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- Some recent developments in wave turbulence theory Abstract: In this talk I will present two different approaches in the study of wave turbulence theory. The first, introduced by Bourgain, consists in analyzing the long time behavior of high Sobolev norms for the defocusing, cubic NLS equation on 2D tori (periodic solutions). In this context I will emphasize how the rationality or irrationality of the torus affects the analysis. The second approach deals with the rigorous derivation of the 3-wave kinetic equation from a weakly nonlinear multidimensional KdV type equation. Homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in the three-state Blume-Capel model Abstract: We study the metastable behavior of the stochastic Blume–Capel model evolving according to the Glauber dynamics with zero boundary conditions. We will show that, due to the three–state character of the Blume–Capel model, the metastability scenario proven for periodic boundary conditions changes deeply when different boundary conditions are considered. The Hamiltonian of the Blume–Capel model depends on the magnetic field h and the chemical potential λ. We study the heuristic in the whole region λ,h > 0, where the chemical potential term equally favors minus and plus spins with respect to zeroes and the magnetic field favors pluses and disadvantages minuses with respect to the zeroes, and we compare our results with the Blume-Capel model with periodic boundary conditions. Then, we analyze in detail the region λ>h > 0. In this region, we identify the unique metastable state -1, we compute the energy barrier from -1 to the stable state +1, and we find an estimate for the asymptotic behavior of the transition time from the metastable to the stable state as β->∞, where β is the inverse of the temperature.

workshop announcement on "SDEs with low-regularity coefficients: theory and numerics" - 21 & 22 Sept, Torino
by Elena Issoglio 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, This is to announce the workshop on "SDEs with low-regularity coefficients: theory and numerics" <https://sites.google.com/view/singular-sdes2023/home> that will be held at the dept of mathematics in Torino, on 21-22 September 2023. The objective of the meeting is to exchange ideas and recent results in 'singular stochastic analysis'. In particular we study Stochastic Differential Equations with coefficients of low regularity. Such coefficients may be functions or (reasonably well-behaved) distributions. The driving noises can be Gaussian or non-Gaussian (e.g. fractional Brownian motion, Levy process, etc...) and the type of SDE may be a standard forward diffusion, a backward SDE or even a McKean-type SDE. These singular SDEs can be investigated from a theoretical perspective, hence answering fundamental questions such as existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution, long time behaviour and other features of the solutions. They can also be addressed from a numerical approximation perspective, hence designing numerical schemes and proving their convergence and relative rate of convergence. Invited speakers are: - Mireille Bossy (Inria Sophia Antipolis) - Oleg Butkovsky (Weierstrass Institute Berlin) - Konstantinos Dareiotis (University of Leeds) - Mate Gerencser (TU Wien) - Ludovic Goudenege (CNRS) - Benjamin Jourdain (Ecole des Ponts ParisTech) - Khoa Le (University of Leeds) - Chengcheng Ling (TU Wien) - Stephane Menozzi (University of Evry) - Francesco Russo (ENSTA Paris) - Michaela Szölgyenyi (University of Klagenfurt) The registration is free but mandatory. Deadline for registering is 10th September. Please register here <https://forms.gle/D3D1CKidMGKmcQcG8>. For more info you can contact Elena Issoglio at elena.issoglio(a)unito.it. Feel free to circulate the announcement to anyone who may be interested in this workshop.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
by Monica Billio 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

*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 organising 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. *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 Scientific Committee 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)** *PROGRAMME: Click here to see the conference programme <https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/general-information-credit23/programme-20…>* ** **REGISTRATION: Click here to register <https://registration.nexave.org/it/iscrizione-evento/27/22nd-international-…>** For the Registration Fees and more detailed information, please visit the *Conference website <https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2023>* -- Nota automatica aggiunta dal sistema di posta *Sostieni il futuro* Dona il tuo 5x1000 al Collegio Internazionale Ca' Foscari *FINANZIAMENTO DELLA RICERCA SCIENTIFICA E DELLA UNIVERSITÀ | CODICE FISCALE: 80007720271*

Seminario congiunto di Probabilità e Fisica Matematica a Roma1
by Faggionato, Alessandra 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Buongiorno, il seguente seminario si terrà al Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza: *Martedì 12 Settembre, ore **14:00*, *Sala di Consiglio* *Speaker: Armand Bernou (Università di Lione)* *Title: Harris theorems for kinetic models with physical boundary conditions* Abstract: Harris theorems are powerful tools for studying the asymptotic behavior of Markovian models. Originating from the probabilistic literature, they were recently adapted to the PDE framework by Hairer-Mattingly and Cañizo-Mischler. I will present some recent works in which this method furnishes an alternative strategy for treating kinetic models with boundary conditions. I will discuss in particular the long-time behavior of the free-transport kinetic equation and of the linear Boltzmann models when the gas is enclosed in a domain with diffuse or Cercignani-Lampis boundary condition and variable temperature at the wall, which, in general, can not be handled with usual hypocoercivity methods.

Cari colleghi, giovedì Francesca Cottini kerrà un seminario presso l'Università di Trento. Trovate tutti i dettagli in calce a questa email. Saluti, Michele Coghi *Luogo:* l'evento si terrà in presenza in *Aula Seminari 1 – PovoZero* – Via Sommarive 14 e per via telematica attraverso collegamento alla *piattaforma Zoom*. Per partecipare sarà necessario collegarsi al link seguente e inserire i codici di accesso (da condividere solo con contatti fidati): https://unitn.zoom.us/j/82578903026 ID riunione: 825 7890 3026 Passcode: 978062 *Data:* Giovedì 7 settembre 2023 *Ore:* 14:30 *Gaussian fluctuations for 2d directed polymers* *Relatrice:* - *Francesca Cottini *(University of Luxembourg e National University of Singapore) *Abstract: * The model of directed polymer in random environment describes a perturbation of the simple random walk caused by a random environment (disorder). In recent years, there has been extensive research on the partition functions of this model and its asymptotic behavior on large scale, also motivated by their link with the solution of the Stochastic Heat Equation. After introducing the model and its motivations, we will focus on the 2d case. We will provide an overview of the main results regarding the fluctuations of the partition functions in both the sub-critical regime (where a deep understanding has by now been obtained) and the critical regime (where many key questions are still open). We will also highlight the distinctions between these observed phenomena. We will then present an alternative and convenient technique to recover both existing and new results. This method is based on a novel CLT for polynomial chaos (i.e. a multi-linear polynomial of independent random variables) which only requires second moment computations. If time allows, we will also discuss the so-called quasi-critical regime, which bridges the gap between the sub-critical and the critical regime and identifies the most extended range where Gaussian fluctuations hold, before reaching the critical regime where they fail. The talk is based on joint works with Francesco Caravenna and Maurizia Rossi (University of Milano-Bicocca). *Referenti: *Stefano Bonaccorsi e Michele Coghi https://webmagazine.unitn.it/evento/dmath/117702/gaussian-fluctuations-for-… [image: Università di Trento] <http://www.unitn.it/> *Staff di Dipartimento-Matematica* Università degli Studi di Trento Via Sommarive, 14 - 38123 Povo (TN) Tel. +39 0461 283898 - Francesca Stanca Tel. +39 0461 281980 - Michela Vinotti Tel. +39 0461 281511 - Davide Bortoli Tel. +39 0461 281625 - Orietta Osele Tel. +39 0461 281701 - Cinzia Parolari -- Dr. Michele Coghi University of Trento, Math Department via Sommarive 14 - 38123 Povo (Trento) - I Povo 0, Room 2.91 E-Mail: michele.coghi(a)unitn.it

Two talks at UniMiB: Marco Carfagnini and Willem Van Zuijlen [7 September]
by Tal Orenshtein 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, I am glad to announce the following hybrid probability seminar with *two* *speakers* at Milano-Bicocca. Date and time: *Thursday September 7, 10:00-12:00 *(Rome time, zone)*, * *Aula 3014* Building *U5*/RATIO, Univ. *Milano-Bicocca*. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84444882953?pwd=QkVweTJ4RDJMamN3cjExblViUExMZz09 ID riunione: *844 4488 2953, *Passcode: *835623* *10:00-11:00 Marco Carfagnini (*University of California San Diego) Title: Spectral gaps via small deviations. Abstract: In this talk we will discuss spectral gaps of second order differential operators and their connection to limit laws such as small deviations and Chung’s laws of the iterated logarithm. The main focus is on hypoelliptic diffusions such as the Kolmogorov diffusion and horizontal Brownian motions on Carnot groups. If time permits, we will discuss spectral properties and existence of spectral gaps on general Dirichlet metric measure spaces.This talk is based on joint works with Maria (Masha) Gordina and Alexander (Sasha) Teplyaev. *11:00-12:00 Willem Van Zuijlen* (Weierstrass Institute Berlin) Title: Weakly self avoiding walk in a random potential. Abstract: We investigate a model of simple-random walk paths in a random environment that has two competing features: an attractive one towards the highest values of a random potential, and a self-repellent one in the spirit of the well-known weakly self-avoiding random walk. We tune the strength of the second effect such that they both contribute on the same scale as the time variable tends to infinity. In this talk I will discuss our results on the identification of (1) the logarithmic asymptotics of the partition function, and (2) of the path behaviour that gives the overwhelming contribution to the partition function. This is joint work with Wolfgang König, Nicolas Pétrélis and Renato Soares dos Santos.

Dear All, it is a pleasure to announce the *Workshop “Replicability crisis in science?”University of Padua, Italy, 19 September 2023* Speakers: Prof. Giovanni Parmigiani, Department of Data Science, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard University, USA (https://scholar.harvard.edu/parmigiani) Prof. Branden Fitelson, Department of Philosophy and Religion, Northeastern University, USA (https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/branden-fitelson/) Prof. Gianmarco Altoè, Department of Developmental Psychology and Socialisation, University of Padua ( https://www.dpss.unipd.it/en/gianmarco-altoe) Prof. Alessandra Salvan, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padua (https://homes.stat.unipd.it/alessandrasalvan/en/home-2/) Prof. Marzia Soavi, Department of Philosophy, Sociology, Education and Applied Psychology, University of Padua ( https://www.unipd.it/en/contatti/rubrica?detail=Y&ruolo=1&checkout=cerca&pe… ) Workshop content: When evaluating the reliability of scientific findings and predictions, a major concern is about their replicability, that is their consistency across different studies aimed at answering the same question. A ‘replicability crisis’ has been claimed in the last decades, denouncing that a large part of published research findings, especially in applied sciences, such as psychology or medicine failed to be confirmed by subsequent studies. Difficulties in moving from empirical evidence and data analysis to a scientific result push towards the need to clarify various aspects, such as rigorous definitions, the possible tools for understanding and communicating the uncertainty inherent in most scientific conclusions, the definition of non-questionable research practices. Workshop Website: https://replicabilityday.stat.unipd.it Registration: Registration for the workshop is now open on Eventbrite <https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-replicability-crisis-in-science-68647…> . Organizers: Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova, Italy: Alessandra Salvan and Bruno Scarpa Department of Philosophy, Sociology, Education and Applied Psychology, University of Padova, Italy: Massimiliano Carrara and Fabio Grigenti Further details can be found at https://replicabilityday.stat.unipd.it or contact Bruno Scarpa (scarpa(a)stat.unipd.it) Info: replicability(a)stat.unipd.it The workshop has been organised together with the twin event of the Summer school on “Replicability crisis in science?” <https://replicability.stat.unipd.it/>.

17 Jul '23

*UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO* *Dipartimento di Matematica* AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Il dott. *Costantino RICCIUTI* (Università di Roma "La Sapienza", Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche) terrà, giovedì 20 luglio, alle ore 12:00, presso la Sala Riunioni dell'Edificio F2 (piano 1, stanza 36), un seminario dal titolo: *Multivariate subordination, generalized fractional equations **and anomalous diffusion* Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, *Antonio Di Crescenzo* *Barbara Martinucci* * Alessandra Meoli* * Serena Spina* Link su Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a6hfHOOIVt89PyLIJDpqXis553z6p… *Abstract* In this talk we consider multiparameter Levy processes and multivariate subordinators in the sense of [1]. These models are not as well-known as other multiparameter extensions of Levy processes, such as the Brownian sheet or the Additive processes, yet they lead to a number of results that are interesting both in Analysis and Statistical Physics. Inspired by [1], we develop a theory for subordination of random fields, also providing a Phillips-type formula. This allows us to obtain stochastic solutions to systems of differential or integro-differential equations. We also study the composition of multiparameter Levy processes by means of the so-called "inverses" of multivariate subordinators. The resulting processes have interesting long range dependence properties and are governed by non local equations (potentially exhibiting fractional operators). As a byproduct, we present a model of anomalous diffusion where the particle moves within anisotropic media. The results presented in this talk are taken from [2] and [3]. [1] O.

ricordo di Nicola Cufaro Petroni
by Antonio DI CRESCENZO 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Care colleghe, cari colleghi, Lunedi 26 Giugno è venuto a mancare il nostro collega Nicola Cufaro Petroni. Nicola è stato uno studioso poliedrico, un didatta appassionato e un sostenitore convinto della pace e del disarmo. Come fisico teorico e matematico, ha dato preziosi contributi in vari ambiti, tra cui ricordiamo la Meccanica Stocastica, i Processi di Levy e l'Analisi Stocastica applicata alla Finanza. L'impegno didattico l'ha portato ad essere relatore di numerose tesi di dottorato di ricerca e di laurea, fornendo sempre, ai suoi allievi, problemi, consigli, sorrisi. Si è inoltre prodigato affinché nascesse l'orientamento di Matematica per la Finanza all'interno della Laurea Magistrale in Matematica, intessendo relazioni col mondo bancario-finanziario del territorio. Prova ulteriore del suo impegno rivolto ai giovani, sono i manuali di Calcolo delle Probabilità e una recente monografia di Teoria della Probabilità e Processi Stocastici per fisici. Il legame profondo con l'istituzione accademica l'ha portato ad impegnarsi per lunghissimo tempo all'interno degli Organi Collegiali di Ateneo, dove si è fatto interprete dei bisogni di crescita di tutta la comunità scientifica barese. Dopo il conseguimento del Diploma in Violino presso il Conservatorio "N. Piccinni", nel corso degli anni ha affiancato l'impegno accademico ad una rilevante attività concertistica, coinvolgendo anche studenti universitari in attività musicali all'interno delle strutture del nostro Ateneo. La sua passione didattica l'ha portato inoltre a tenere per anni un corso di Acustica Fisica presso il Conservatorio di Bari. Fautore del dialogo e dell'incontro non solo tra diverse componenti scientifiche, Nicola è stato anima e mente dell'Unione Scienziati per il Disarmo, e membro del Comitato per la Pace di Terra di Bari, facendosi apprezzare in tale ambito per i suoi interventi documentati e le sue analisi approfondite. Il suo enorme lascito per noi colleghi di Dipartimento e per tutta la comunità italiana di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica, sarà certamente fonte di ispirazione per idee e azioni.

20 luglio ore 11.00 - Seminario Prof. Lopez-Penabad
by Enea Bongiorno 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Buongiorno, con piacere segnalo il seguente seminario: -------------------------------- 20 luglio 2023 ore 11.00 - aula 101, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/pwc-hbfh-wpm Title: *Influence of behavioral biases on investment decisions. The importance of financial education during an economic crisis* *Professor M.C. Lopez Penabad, * *University of Santiago de Compostela* Abstract: While classical financial theories assume the rationality of the individual, Behavioral Finance supports the influence of cognitive and emotional aspects on investment decisions. The objective of this study is to contribute to this field by analyzing four biases – Overconfidence, Herd Behavior, Player Fallacy and Hot Hand Fallacy, and Domestic Bias – and their relationship with investors’ personal characteristics, particularly in terms of their Economic Education and Financial Literacy. We also analyze the effect of the financial crisis derived from Covid-19 on the aforementioned biases. This work is based on 109 surveys carried out in Galicia with individual investors, both actual and would-be ones, operating in stock markets. The results confirm that (i) these biases exist and that they relate to financial education and financial literacy; the more individuals there are with limited financial knowledge, the more intensified the biases are, and (ii) that for Overconfidence and Herd Behavior, they are more visible in prolonged crises. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s9TUF3M1A0Wre3LzsCegylUyaEWXPixt/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

La strategia di risoluzione si baserà su tecniche meshless, dato che il software dovrà essere in grado di affrontare problemi con O(10-100) gradi di libertà. Per ridurre il costo computazionale sarà necessario stabilire la miglior scelta (adattiva) dei punti su cui rappresentare la soluzione dell’equazione. A tale scopo, tecniche di machine learning potranno sfruttare la costruzione iterativa della soluzione sia per accelerare il processo stesso, sia per definire la miglior distribuzione di punti. The research fellow will be responsible for the development and implementation of a software package able to solve stochastic equations in many degrees of freedom. The software should be optimized for GPUs or similar hardware architectures that allow for extensive parallelization on a single board. The resolution strategy will be based on meshless techniques since the software needs to be able to handle problems with O(10-100) degrees of freedom. To reduce the computational cost the optimal (adaptive) choice of points for representing the solution of the equation must be determined. To this purpose, machine learning techniques can be used to exploit the iterative construction of the solution, both to speed up the process itself and to define the best distribution of points. ·*Link (dal / from 13.07.2023 al / to 28.07.2023)*: https://www.dei.unipd.it/node/43362 <https://www.dei.unipd.it/node/43362> -- Prof. Marco Ferrante Prorettore alla Didattica Vice-Rector for Teaching and Education Dipartimento di Matematica "Tullio Levi-Civita" Università degli Studi di Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271366 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail:ferrante@math.unipd.it URL:http://www.math.unipd.it/~ferrante

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. CLAUDIO MACCI Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIVERSITÀ Tor Vergata, ROMA TITLE Non-central moderate deviations for compound fractional Poisson processes Abstract The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fills the gap between a convergence in probability to zero (governed by a large deviation principle) and a weak convergence to a centered Normal distribution. We talk about non-central moderate deviations when the weak convergence is towards a non-Gaussian distribution. In this paper we study non-central moderate deviations for compound fractional Poisson processes with light-tailed jumps. Joint work with Luisa Beghin.

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. ENRICO SCALAS School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences of SUSSEX UNIVERSITY TITLE A fractional Hawkes process Abstract A Hawkes point process with kernel proportional to the probability density function of Mittag- Leffler random variables is introduced. This kernel decays as a power law with exponent $\beta+1 \in (1,2]$. Several analytical results are proved, in particular for the expected intensity of the point process and for the expected number of events of the counting process. These analytical results are used to validate algorithms that numerically invert the Laplace transform of the expected intensity as well as Monte Carlo simulations of the process. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are used to derive the distribution of the number of events. The algorithms used for this presentation are available at https://github.com/habyarimanacassien/Fractional-Hawkes Relevant papers: Chen, J, Hawkes, A G and Scalas, E (2021) A fractional Hawkes process.

Dear alla we are glad to announce the seminar of Barbara Vantaggi at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Bologna The seminar is today July 6th 2023 at 4 pm. A dynamic Choquet pricing rule with bid-ask spreads under ambiguity We introduce a dynamic pricing rule allowing for frictions in the form of bid-ask spreads, by modeling “risk-neutral” uncertainty through belief functions. The aim is to face pricing in a multi-period binomial market model under ambiguity. To this purpose, we introduce and characterize Dempster-Shafer multiplicative binomial processes together with the induced conditional Choquet expectation operator. Next, we consider a market formed by a frictionless risk-free bond (whose price is modeled by a deterministic process) and a non-dividend paying stock with frictions (whose lower price is modeled by a Dempster Shafer multiplicative binomial process). In this market we prove an analog of the classical theorem of change of measure relying on the notion of equivalent one-step Choquet martingale belief function. We then propose a dynamic Choquet pricing rule with bid-ask spreads showing that the discounted lower price process of a European derivative contract on the stock is a Choquet super-martingale. We also provide a normative justification in terms of a dynamic generalized no-arbitrage condition. We finally discuss the connections of the introduced dynamic pricing rule with time-consistency and dynamic risk measures. The talk is based on papers in collaboration with A.Cinfrignini and D.

03 Jul '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: *Ergodicity, Positive Lyapunov Exponents, and Partial Damping for Random Switching* by *Jonathan Mattingly* (Duke University) The seminar will take place *tomorrow TUE, 04.07.2023* 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: I will consider some new models inspired by the PDEs/SPDE with complex dynamics such as the 2D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The models introduce randomness onto the system through a random splitting scheme. I will explain how the randomly split Galerkin approximations of the 2D Euler equations and other related dynamics can be shown to possess a unique invariant measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to the natural Liouville measure, despite the existence of other invariant measures corresponding to fix points of the PDEs. I will then explain how on proves that the dynamics with respect to this measure has positive Lyapunov exponents almost surely.Lastly, I will discuss recent results which show that the system has a unique invariant measure even when damping is applied to part of the system.This is joint work with Omar Melikechi, Andrea Agazzi, and David Herzog.*

Seminario di Giovanni Conforti a Roma Tre il 7 luglio 2023
by Pietro Caputo 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

Venerdì 7 luglio 2023 alle ore 14:30, Aula M3 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1- 00146 Roma. Speaker: Giovanni Conforti (CMAP Ecole Polytechnique, Paris) Title: Stable convexity profiles for Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations and applications to entropic optimal transport. Abstract: It is well known that solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation with a convex terminal condition remain convex at all times. In this sense, the set of convex functions is stable under the action of the HJB equation and this result can be derived as a simple consequence of the Prékopa-Leindler inequality. In this talk I will illustrate a probabilistic method based on the analysis of coupling by reflection on a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) that prompts the existence of stable sets for the HJB equation composed of functions that are only "asymptotically convex", but not necessarily convex. If time allows, I will move on to illustrate two consequences of this result to the Schrödinger problem, a.k.a. entropic optimal transport problem. The first is that the optimal coupling satisfies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality and the second one is that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges exponentially fast in the number of iterations to the optimal coupling. Partially based on joint work with A.Durmus and G.Greco

Seminario di Wei Wu in Sapienza il 4 Luglio
by Lorenzo Taggi 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Si comunica che Wei Wu (NYU Shangai) terrà un seminario presso il Dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma in Sala di Consiglio, Martedì 4 Luglio ore 14:00, dal seguente titolo e abstract: Title: Massless phases for the Villain model in d>=3 Abstract: The XY and the Villain models are models which exhibit the celebrated Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions in two dimensions. The spin wave conjecture, originally proposed by Dyson and by Mermin and Wagner, predicts that at low temperature, spin correlations of these models are closely related to Gaussian free fields. I will review the historical background and discuss some recent progress on this conjecture in d>=3. Based on the joint work with Paul Dario (CNRS).

by Carlo Orrieri 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Alberto Cazzaniga (Area Science Park) Title: What is the probability that a random symmetric tensor is close to rank-one? Abstract: We address the problem of estimating the probability that a real symmetric tensor is close to rank-one tensors, motivated by the many applications of low-rank approximation. We discuss how the question can be addressed by studying metric invariants of the real Veronese variety thanks to the Weyl's tube formula. We describe the role of the reach and the curvature coefficients with respect to the Bombieri-Weyl metric in obtaining an explicit estimate, and outline the main ideas employed to tackle their calculation. We conclude by discussing some asymptotic results for the case of rational normal curves. Based on joint work with A. Lerario and A. Rosana. Date and time: Monday July 3, 17:00-18:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Laboratorio didattico, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia.

Seminars in Probability and Finance - Giulia Livieri (LSE London) & Federico Sau (University of Trieste)
by Alberto Chiarini 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

========================================================== PADOVA SEMINARS IN PROBABILITY AND FINANCE webpage: http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ========================================================== Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the "Padova seminars in Probability and Finance" this Friday, June 30 starting from 14.30 in Room 2BC30 at the department of Mathematics of the University of Padova. The seminar can also be followed via Zoom from a link to be found at https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ This week we will have two contributions: 14:30 - Giulia Livieri (LSE London) 15:30 - Federico Sau (University of Trieste) See further details below. The organizers _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Giulia Livieri (LSE London) Title: Designing Universal Causal Deep Learning Models: The Case of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems from Stochastic Analysis Abstract: Causal operators (CO), such as various solution operators to stochastic differential equations, play a central role in contemporary stochastic analysis; however, there is still no canonical framework for designing Deep Learning (DL) models capable of approximating COs. This paper proposes a "geometry-aware'" solution to this open problem by introducing a DL model-design framework that takes suitable infinite-dimensional linear metric spaces as inputs and returns a universal sequential DL model adapted to these linear geometries. We call these models Causal Neural Operators (CNOs). Our main result states that the models produced by our framework can uniformly approximate on compact sets and across arbitrarily finite-time horizons Hölder or smooth trace class operators, which causally map sequences between given linear metric spaces. Our analysis uncovers new quantitative relationships on the latent state-space dimension of CNOs which even have new implications for (classical) finite-dimensional Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). We find that a linear increase of the CNO's (or RNN's) latent parameter space's dimension and of its width, and a logarithmic increase of its depth imply an exponential increase in the number of time steps for which its approximation remains valid. A direct consequence of our analysis shows that RNNs can approximate causal functions using exponentially fewer parameters than ReLU networks. Speaker: Federico Sau 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). The Zoom meeting can be joined via the link to be found at https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/

June 29 - OWABC seminar - Jonas Arruda and Yannik Shälte
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Dear all, the last One World ABC Seminar<https://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> of the season is behind the corner! On Thursday, June 29, at 9.30am UK time, Jonas Arruda and Yannik Shälte (University of Bonn) will talk about "Amortized simulation-based inference for non-linear mixed-effects models" with an reported below. Abstract: Non-linear mixed-effects models are a powerful tool for studying heterogeneous populations in biology, medicine, engineering, and other fields. However, fitting these models is computationally challenging when the description of individuals is complex and the population is large. To address this issue, we propose the use of neural density estimation to approximate entity-specific posterior distributions in an amortized fashion. This approximation is then used to efficiently infer population-level parameters. Applying this approach to problems from single-cell biology, we demonstrate its scalability to large datasets in an unprecedented manner. Moreover, it enables accurate uncertainty quantification, simple testing of hypotheses, and extends to stochastic models, going beyond what established methods can give. In summary, our method constitutes a highly flexible novel approach has the potential to substantially improve the analysis of heterogeneous populations. The talk will be hosted on MS Teams here: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTYyY2FkMWQtZTkwNi00… We are looking forward to seeing you soon, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Seminar Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Associate Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

4 luglio ore 11.00 - Seminario Dott. Lax Chan
by Enea Bongiorno 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Buongiorno, con piacere segnalo il seguente seminario: -------------------------------- 4 luglio 2023 ore 11.00 - aula 101, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Title: *Goodness-of-fit test for the Single Functional Index Model* *Dott. Lax Chan* Università del Piemonte Orientale Abstract: An important task in regression analysis is to choose the right specification of the link function that models the dependence structure between the random elements. A challenge arises in the framework of scalar on function regression as the link function is a real-valued operator acting on a functional space, and it is difficult to visualize and hence select a coherent specification. A specification test that uses a semi-parametric approach is proposed, in particular by exploiting the Single Functional Index Model. The test statistic is a special form of U-statistic; its asymptotic null distribution is derived under suitable assumptions, and consistency is proved for a specific class of alternatives. The finite sample performances of the test are evaluated through a simulation study using both asymptotic p-values and some bootstrap approaches. An application of the method developed to a problem commonly arises in the food industry is performed to demonstrate the potentialities of the method. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C-aG-f1Ml66CMNIxfcQnKD0n7O3oH83r/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
