Seminar W. Bock - Sapienza, 22-1-2024
by Luisa Beghin 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Dear all, we are pleased to invite you to the following seminar, which can be attended also via Zoom. *Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche) *Zoom: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09 *Time:* *Monday 22nd of January, at 14.30* *Speaker: *Wolfgang Bock (Linnaeus University) *Title:* Recent Results on the Generalized Grey Brownian Motion *Abstract*: Grey Brownian motion was introduced by Schneider in 1990. In his work Schneider showed that indeed the process fulfills a Feynman-Kac like formula for the solution of the fractional heat equation. In the 2000s the process was generalized by Mainardi et al. In 2016 the group of Grothaus established a White Noise like calculus for the process, also introducing spaces of test and generalized functions. In this talk, we will review this recent development and give an overview of the analysis and the most recent results. In an outlook, we give a strategy on how to introduce spaces of regular distributions to obtain a form of regularity theory.

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (19 Gennaio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 1BC50 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Francesco Pedrotti (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) <https://sites.google.com/view/francescopedrotti/home-page?authuser=0> https://sites.google.com/view/francescopedrotti/home-page?authuser=0 Title: Contractive coupling rates and curvature lower bounds for reversible Markov chains Date: January 19, 2024, at 14:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: Ricci curvature lower bounds for Riemannian manifolds have been linked to many functional inequalities: this has motivated the seminal independent works of Sturm and Lott and Villani, who extended the notion of curvature lower bound and many of its consequences to a large class of metric measure spaces. In spite of its generality, this theory does not apply to Markov chains on discrete spaces; for this reason, several adapted notions of curvature have been proposed, based on different equivalent characterizations of curvature of Riemannian manifolds. Different notions have different pros and cons: e.g., the entropic curvature of Erbar and Maas is hard to compute in some examples, while Olliviers coarse Ricci curvature is not known to imply a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality. It is still an open problem to compare these notions. In the present work, adapting arguments of a recent article by Conforti, we show how contractive coupling rates (a concept naturally connected to Olliviers curvature) can be used to establish entropic curvature lower bounds for some examples of reversible Markov chains. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/

15 Jan '24

Dear all, a kind reminder that the deadline for the abstract submission for contributed talks or poster at BioInference2024 (5th -7th June at Warwick https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is quickly approached, being it on the 31st January 2024. If you are interested on mathematical modelling and statistical methods for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems, then please consider submitting an abstract here forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6> More info are reported below. Best, Massi on the behalf of the BioInference2024 organising committee ------------------------------------ The BioInference 2024 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on the 5th-7th June 2024, and it will combine a data-driven meeting on day 1 (registration fee: £30) with the main two-day conference on the 6th and 7th June 2024 (registration fee: £70). Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations. The talks from the two previous BioInference conferences are available via our public YouTube channel (youtube.com/@bioinference5299<http://youtube.com/@bioinference5299>). The two-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work either relating to statistical methods development (so long as those methods are applicable to biological systems) or on the application of statistical methods to solve biological problems. All presentations will be in-person. Abstracts can be submitted via a Google form (forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6>) and the deadline is on the 31st January 2024. It is our pleasure to confirm that this year's invited speakers are: * Alex Browning<https://alexbrowning.me/>, University of Oxford * Sarah Filippi<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.filippi>, Imperial College London * Hong Ge<https://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/hong/>, University of Cambridge * Hamid Rahkooy<https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/rahkooy/bio.html>, University of Oxford * Heba Sailem<https://www.hebasailem.com/>, King’s College London * Catalina Vallejos<https://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit/research/vallejos-group>, University of Edinburgh The conference organising committee is committed to ensuring fair participation of individuals across all career stages, genders, races and ethnicities, ages, geographic locations, and universities. Data-driven meeting: problems and methodologies This year, we are also running an optional event on the 5th June at Warwick before the main conference starts. This aims to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and those who possess or generate datasets and would like to analyse them/answer some open questions. These may include biologists, clinicians etc in academia and industry. The idea of this meeting is to think about potential solutions to these data-based problems, gathering interest for possible collaborations between individuals across disciplines, institutions and career stages. The day would consist of a range of presentations by the experimental/business partners in the morning, and focus/discussion groups in the afternoon, aiming to start formulating an action plan to tackle the open challenges. The cost of attending day one is £30 in addition to the registration fee for the main conference.

We establish that tempering SMC is a numerical approximation of entropic mirror descent applied to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and obtain convergence rates for the tempering iterates. Our result motivates the tempering iterates from an optimization point of view, showing that tempering can be used as an alternative to Langevin-based algorithms to minimize the KL divergence. We exploit the connection between tempering and mirror descent iterates to justify common practices in SMC and propose improvements to algorithms in literature. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85042791274?pwd=V05aejBLYXEyL1lRNURFMUZIcy9PUT09> 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/>

Seminario di Michele Salvi alla Sapienza, Martedì 16/01/24
by Faggionato, Alessandra 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Buongiorno Martedì 16 Gennaio Michele Salvi terrà un seminario di Probabilità al Dipartimento di Matematica della Sapienza Sotto trovate i dettagli. Grazie per l'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Speaker: Michele Salvi (Università di Tor Vergata) Where: Sala di Consiglio, Dip. di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma When: Tuesday 16 January, 14:00 (sharp) Title: *From the Uniform to the Minimum Spanning Tree* Abstract: A spanning tree of a graph G is a connected subset of G without cycles. The *Uniform Spanning Tree* (UST) is obtained by choosing one of the possible spanning trees of G at random. The *Minimum Spanning Tree* (MST) is realised instead by putting random weights on the edges of G and then selecting the spanning tree with the smallest weight. These two models exhibit markedly different behaviours: for example, their diameter on the complete graph with n nodes transitions from n^1/2 for the UST to n^1/3 for the MST. What lies in between? We introduce a model of *Random Spanning Trees in Random Environment* (RSTRE) designed to interpolate between UST and MST. In particular, when the environment disorder is sufficiently low, the RSTRE on the complete graph has a diameter of n^1/2 as the UST. Conversely, when the disorder is high, the diameter behaves like n^1/3 as for the MST. We conjecture a smooth transition between these two values for intermediate levels of disorder. This talk is based on joint work with Rongfeng Sun and Luca Makowiec (NUS Singapore). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

SPASS Seminar: Lucio Galeati
by Andrea Agazzi 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *A.e. uniqueness for (stochastic) Lagrangian trajectories for Leray solutions to 3D Navier-Stokes* by Lucio Galeati (EPFL) The seminar will take place on TUE, 16.01.2024 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: * *We revisit a result due to Robinson and Sadowski (2009), who first showed a.e. uniqueness of Lagrangian trajectories for admissible weak solutions to $3$D Navier-Stokes, for sufficiently regular $u_0$. We give an alternative proof, based on a newly established asymmetric Lusin-Lipschitz property of Leray solutions, exploited crucially in the arguments from Caravenna-Crippa (2021) and Brué-Colombo-De Lellis (2021). This approach is more robust, requiring no assumptions on $u_0$ and being applicable also to the stochastic characteristics of the system.Finally, if $u_0$ is regular (say $u_0\in H^{1/2}$), then we are able to exploit the diffusive behaviour of stochastic trajectories to further prove that, for any fixed $x_0\in\mathbb{R}^d$, path-by-path uniqueness for the SDE $d X_t = u(t,X_t) d t + d B_t, X|t=0 = x_0$.*

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Tuesday 23th of January 2023 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Alessandro Doldi* (University of Florence) Titolo: *Collective Arbitrage and the Value of Cooperation* Abstract: The paper aims at extending the classical Arbitrage Pricing Theory to a scenario where N agents engage in financial market investments and are permitted to collaborate through exchanges. Within this framework, we introduce the concepts of Collective Arbitrage and Collective Super-replication. Subsequently, we establish versions of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing and the pricing-hedging duality tailored to this cooperative setting. Illustrative examples demonstrate the advantages of our proposed approach. The novel notions of Collective Arbitrage and Collective Super-replication highlight the pivotal role of cooperation and the multidimensional aspect. Notably, when there is only a single agent involved, the theory reduces to the classical one.

by Alessandro Gnoatto 23 Dec '23

23 Dec '23

1 Year Post-Doc position in Verona I am looking for a post-doc to join my group. The topic of the research project is "Machine learning and stochastic control for financial risk management” The aim of this project is to study new methods, models, and numerical techniques for the treatment of financial risk management problems, in particular counterparty credit risk (xVA) or the pricing of financial and insurance claims. Many problems in finance involve the minimization of a cost functional subject to controlled stochastic state variables. Controls or related quantities in high dimension can be conveniently approximated by means of artificial neural networks. The aim of the project is to study control problems under general dynamics together with the development of new models for the evolution of risk factors, with a special focus on interest rates. The candidate should have a solid background in probability, stochastic calculus and computational finance. Experience with the Java and/or Python programming languages and Machine Learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, Deep Java Library or Deeplearning4J is a plus. Candidates will be evaluated based on their scientific quality and their potential in developing research. There are no teaching obligations and knowledge of Italian is not required.

The ABS school "Bayesian Phylogenetic and Infectious Diseases" in Como (August 26-30, 2024)
by Elisa Varini 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Dear all, We are glad to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics school - ABS24 will be held in the city of Como, along the Lake Como shoreline, on August 26-30, 2024. The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with Fondazione Alessandro Volta. The topic will be BAYESIAN PHYLOGENETIC AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. The lecturer will be Prof. MARC SUCHARD (Department of Biostatistics, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, USA), with the support of Filippo Monti (PhD student in Biostatistics, UCLA, USA). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs24.imati.cnr.it/ REGISTRATION is now open but payments will be possible (by bank transfer or credit card) only after February, 1, 2024. If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs24(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: The aim of this course is to explore the core challenges of Bayesian inference of stochastic processes in modern biology in terms of data-scale, model-dimensionality and compute-complexity. Challenging and emerging statistical solutions will be illustrated through the analysis of biological sequences, such as genes and genomes. Molecular phylogenetics has become an essential analytical tool for understanding the complex patterns in which rapidly evolving pathogens propagate across and between countries, owing to the complex travel and transportation patterns evinced by modern economies, along with growing political factors such as increased global population and urbanisation. As an accessible course for all, a brief introduction of the underlying biology (for statistical researchers) and of modern Bayesian inference (for practicing biologists) will be also provided. Topics will cover probabilistic modeling techniques using both discrete- and continuous-valued stochastic processes including continuous-time Markov chains and Gaussian processes; large-scale data-integration approaches incorporating factors like human mobility and climate measurements; recursive computing and other mathematical tricks to evaluate seemingly intractable likelihoods; state-of-the-art sampling methods for high-dimensional models including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and its more recent non-reversible extensions; delivering timely inference on advancing computing hardware like graphics processing units and (maybe even) quantum devices. We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Como next year. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS24

SPASS Seminar: Margherita Zanella
by GIOVANNI ALESSANDRO ZANCO 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Uniqueness of the invariant measure and asymptotic stability for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with multiplicative noise* by* Margherita Zanella* (Politecnico di Milano) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 19.12.2023* at *14:00 CET *in Aula MCL 16, Polo San Niccolò, Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione e Scienze Matematiche, University of Siena 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 establish the uniqueness and the asymptotic stability of the invariant measure for the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations driven by a multiplicative noise which is either bounded or with a sublinear or a linear growth. We work on an “effectively elliptic” setting, that is we require that the range of the covariance operator contains the unstable directions. We exploit the generalized asymptotic coupling techniques of [1] and [2], used by these authors for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with additive noise. Here, we show how these methods are flexible enough to deal with multiplicative noise as well. A crucial role in our argument is played by the Foias-Prodi estimate in expected value, which has a different form (exponential or polynomial decay) according to the growth condition of the multiplicative noise. The talk is based on a joint work with Benedetta Ferrario. References: [1] N. Glatt-Holtz, J. C. Mattingly, and G. Richards.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Martin Slowik
by Alberto Chiarini 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Dear all, We would like to invite you to a seminar talk by Martin Slowik (University of Mannheim) for the "Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance" that will take place on Friday 15th December at 15:30, streamed via Zoom in room 2BC30, in Torre Archimede. Title: Metastability of Glauber dynamics with inhomogeneous coupling disorder Date: December 15, 2023 at 15:30, streamed via Zoom in room 2BC30 Zoom: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/85838041170?pwd=SitoTTBtcjkxeTBpNGpsMkpteHc3Zz09 Meeting ID: 858 3804 1170 Passcode: 115159 Abstract: Metastability is a phenomenon that occurs in the dynamics of a multi-stable non-linear system subject to noise. It is characterised by the existence of multiple, well separated time scales. The talk will be focused on the metastable behaviour of a general class of mean-field-like spin systems with random couplings that evolve according to a Glauber dynamics at fixed temperature. This class of systems comprises both the Ising model on inhomogeneous dense random graphs and the randomly diluted Hopfield model. Assuming that the corresponding system in which the random couplings are replaced by their averages is metastable I will explain how the metastability of the random system is implied with high probability. In particular, I will discuss the tail behaviour of the relevant metastable hitting times of the two systems and the moments of their ratio. This is joint work with A. Bovier, F. Den Hollander, S. Marello and E. Pulvirenti. Hope to see many of you! Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

SPASS Seminar: Massimiliano Datres
by Andrea Agazzi 10 Dec '23

10 Dec '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *A two-scale complexity measure for stochastic neural networks * by Massimiliano Datres (Università di Trento) The seminar will take place on TUE, 12.12.2023 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: **Over-parametrized deep learning models are achieving outstanding performances in solving several complex tasks such as image classification problems, object detection and natural language processing. Despite the risk of overfitting, these parametric models show impressive generalization after training. Hence, defining appropriate complexity measures becomes crucial for understanding and quantifying the generalization capabilities of deep learning models. In this talk, I will introduce a new notion of complexity measure, called two-scale effective dimension (2sED), which is a box-covering dimension related to a metric induced by the Fisher information matrix of the parametric model. I will then show how the 2sED can be used to derive a generalization bound. Furthermore, I present an approximation of the 2sED for Markovian models, called lower 2sED, that can be computed sequentially layer-by-layer with less computational demands. Finally, I present experimental evidence that the post-training performance of given parametric models is related both with 2sED and the lower 2sED.*

Mercoledì 13 dicembre 2023, h. 14:30-15:30 Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Aula Tonelli *Alessandra Lanotte (CNR-Nanotech Lecce)* terrà un seminario dal titolo: *"Turbulent regime investigation in quantum fluids of light"* *Abstract: *The observation of turbulent regimes in quantum fluids is receiving renewed interest thanks to the ability to manipulate with a high degree of control quantum systems such as superfluid helium or atomic Bose–Einstein condensates. We discuss the turbulent dynamics of a two-dimensional quantum fluid of exciton–polaritons, hybrid light–matter quasiparticles, both by measuring the kinetic energy spectrum and showing the onset of vortex clustering. These results contribute to the investigations of quantum turbulence in two-dimensional fluids, a relatively young research field. Classe di Scienze

One world probability seminar on Thursday 14 December
by Ilya Chevyrev 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Dear all, The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (December 14) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*.The speakers of this session are Marcel Nutz (Columbia University) and Stephan Eckstein (ETH Zürich). 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, Julio Backhoff and Ilya Chevyrev. Title: Entropic Selection in Optimal Transport Abstract:The optimal transport problem can admit many solutions, for instance when the cost function is the Euclidean distance on R^d (Monge's problem). On the other hand, entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) always has a unique optimizer. It is a longstanding open problem whether EOT selects some particular optimal transport coupling in the vanishing regularization limit, and what that coupling would look like. We provide a surprising answer for Monge's problem in dimension d > 1. (Joint work with Chenyang Zhong.) Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Marcel Nutz (Columbia University). Title: Exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm and Hilbert's projective metric for unbounded functions Abstract: Entropic regularization of optimal transport has found numerous applications in various fields recently. A major reason for this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. This talk studies the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilbert’s metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero. Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Stephan Eckstein (ETH Zürich). Zoom-link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69978648939?pwd=WllwSmd4bW9EQlZJNlRqdlA3M0I1Zz09 Meeting ID: 699 7864 8939 Passcode: 713222

Bioinference - call for abstract
by Enrico Bibbona 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

Invio l’annuncio di una conferenza di cui sono coorganizzatore, chiedendo il piacere di farla circolare tra le persone potenzialmente interesste. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Bibbona BioInference 2024: save the date and call for abstracts The BioInference 2024 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on the 5th-7th June 2024, and it will combine a data-driven meeting on day 1 (registration fee: £30) with the main two-day conference on the 6th and 7th June 2024 (registration fee: £70). Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations. The talks from the two previous BioInference conferences are available via our public YouTube channel (youtube.com/@bioinference5299<http://youtube.com/@bioinference5299>). The two-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work either relating to statistical methods development (so long as those methods are applicable to biological systems) or on the application of statistical methods to solve biological problems. All presentations will be in-person. Abstracts can be submitted via a Google form (forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6>) and the deadline is on the 31st January 2024. It is our pleasure to confirm that this year's invited speakers are: · Alex Browning<https://alexbrowning.me/>, University of Oxford · Sarah Filippi<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.filippi>, Imperial College London · Hong Ge<https://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/hong/>, University of Cambridge · Hamid Rahkooy<https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/rahkooy/bio.html>, University of Oxford · Heba Sailem<https://www.hebasailem.com/>, King’s College London · Catalina Vallejos<https://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit/research/vallejos-group>, University of Edinburgh The conference organising committee is committed to ensuring fair participation of individuals across all career stages, genders, races and ethnicities, ages, geographic locations, and universities. Data-driven meeting: problems and methodologies This year, we are also running an optional event on the 5th June at Warwick before the main conference starts. This aims to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and those who possess or generate datasets and would like to analyse them/answer some open questions. These may include biologists, clinicians etc in academia and industry. The idea of this meeting is to think about potential solutions to these data-based problems, gathering interest for possible collaborations between individuals across disciplines, institutions and career stages. The day would consist of a range of presentations by the experimental/business partners in the morning, and focus/discussion groups in the afternoon, aiming to start formulating an action plan to tackle the open challenges. The cost of attending day one is £30 in addition to the registration fee for the main conference.

postdoc position
by Marco Scarsini 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Call for a postdoc position on the topic “A dynamic analysis of supply-chain networks and their disruption” Supply chains are the intricate networks of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the production and distribution of goods and services. They are vulnerable to disruptions, which can be caused by a wide range of factors and can have profound consequences. Organizations are increasingly aware of the need to build more resilient supply chains. In the face of disruption, supply chain management is a critical function. A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory, game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems, machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong expertise in at least one of the above fields. Length of the position: 36 months Gross annual salary: € 36.480,57 Application deadline: 2024/01/08, 14:00 CET The list of available postdoc positions in the Department of Economics and Finance can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/en/research/post-doc-fellowship/research-… The call can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/sites/ef/files/content/Bando%20Assegno%20… The application has to be submitted online here: https://cloudserverjsa.luiss.it/LGCAssegni/index.zul?CDS=AS4209 ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Luiss University Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY

Seminario di Daniel Parisi - 4 dicembre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Giacomo Di Gesu 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, segnalo il seguente seminario: *Lunedì 4 dicembre, ore 17:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Daniel Parisi, Sapienza Università di Roma *Title:* Entropy and mixing time of non-local Markov chains. *Abstract:* We discuss the convergence to the stationary distribution for non-local Markov chains on general spin systems on arbitrary graphs. We show that the relative entropy functional of the corresponding Gibbs measure satisfies the block factorization of entropy, an inequality that controls the entropy on a given region V in terms of a weighted sum of the entropies on blocks A ⊂ V when each A is given an arbitrary nonnegative weight α_A. This inequality generalizes the approximate tensorization of entropy and provides a natural extension of the classical Shearer inequality satisfied by the Shannon entropy. As a consequence of block factorization, we obtain optimal bounds on the mixing time of a large class of sampling algorithms for the ferromagnetic Ising/Potts models, including non-local Markov chains such as the heat-bath block dynamics and the Swendsen-Wang dynamics. The methods also apply to spin systems with hard constraints such as q-colorings and the hard-core gas model. First, we consider spin systems on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d satisfying strong spatial mixing. Then we extend our analysis to spin systems on an arbitrary graph satisfying spectral independence. Finally, we show that the existence of a contractive coupling for any local Markov chain implies spectral independence. saluti, Giacomo Di Gesù

One world probability seminar this Thursday
by Ilya Chevyrev 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be this Thursday (November 30) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*.The speakers of this session are Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza) and James Norris (University of Cambridge). 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: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden growth or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will introduce the ALE models, which include Hastings-Levitov models as particular cases, and discuss their large scale behaviour. Based on joint work with James Norris (Cambridge, UK) and Amanda Turner (Leeds, UK). Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza). Title: Analysis of stochastic evolutions in infinite dimensions: application to stability of the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: Martingales play a important role in the analysis of stochastic processes, in particular in demonstrating laws of large numbers and central limit behaviour. Motivated by the Aggregate Loewner Evolution models discussed in the preceding talk, I will discuss an interplay between martingale inequalities and Lp-multiplier estimates which allows to extend the use of martingales in an infinite-dimensional setting. (This is joint work with Vittoria Silvestri (Rome, La Sapienza) and Amanda Turner (Leeds).) Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): James Norris (University of Cambridge).

SPASS Seminar: Lucie Laurence
by Andrea Agazzi 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Scaling methods for stochastic chemical reaction networks * by Lucie Laurence (INRIA Paris) The seminar will take place on TUE, 28.11.2023 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: **In this talk we investigate stochastic chemical reaction networks (CRNs) with scaling methods. This approach is used to study the stability properties of the associated Markov processes, but also to investigate the transient behavior of the sample paths. It also gives insight on the impact of specific features of these networks such as their polynomial reaction rates, leading to the coexistence of multiple timescales. Some examples of CRNs are discussed to illustrate the multiple timescales involved in the decay of the norm of the state when the CRN starts from a “large” initial state. A detailed scaling analysis of an interesting CRN exhibiting a slow decrease of the norm of the state is presented.*

Fwd: Seminario Padova - Dario Trevisan
by Alekos Cecchin 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (24 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 1BC50 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: *Dario Trevisan* (Università di Pisa) *Title*: On the Concave One-Dimensional Random Assignment Problem: Kantorovich Meets Young *Date*: November 24, 2023 at 14:30, room 1BC50, Torre Archimede, Padova *Abstract*: We consider the assignment (or bipartite matching) problem between n source points and n target points on the real line, where the assignment cost is a concave power of the distance, |x-y|^p, for 0<p<1. It is known that, differently from the convex case (p>1) where the solution is rigid, i.e. it does not depend on p, in the concave case it may varies with p and exhibit interesting long-range connections, making it more appropriate to model realistic situations, e.g. in economics and biology. In the random version of the problem, the points are samples of i.i.d. random variables, and one is interested in typical properties as the sample size n grows. Barthe and Bordenave in 2013 proved asymptotic upper and lower bounds in the range 0<p<1/2, which they conjectured to be sharp. Bobkov and Ledoux, in 2020, using optimal transport and Fourier-analytic tools, determined explicit upper bounds for the average assignment cost in the full range 0<p<1, naturally yielding to the conjecture that a "phase transition" occurs at p=1/2. We settle affirmatively both conjectures. The novel mathematical tool that we develop, and may be of independent interest, is a formulation of Kantorovich problem based on Young integration theory, where the difference between two measures is replaced by the weak derivative of a function with finite q-variation. Joint work with M. Goldman (arXiv:2305.09234). Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

Announcement: Quantum Computing for Finance – Course by Prof. Jacquier - 04.12-07.12.2023
by Viktoria Schildhammer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to announce the following course: “Quantum Computing for Finance” held by Professor Antoine Jacquier taking place at the University of Vienna, at the department for Statistics and Operations Research at Kolingasse 14-16, 1090 (https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/quantum-computing-finance/) The course will take place from Monday, 04.12.2023, until Thursday, 07.12.2023. It is aimed at PhD students and researchers who want to get acquainted with quantum computing and its potential applications in the finance . Please find the preliminary program for the course here: https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/quantum-computing-finance/programm/. The abstract of the course and a short bio of Antoine Jacquier can be found below and on the website. Attending the course is for free, but please register via email to <viktoria.schildhammer(a)univie.ac.at>. The registration deadline is the 30.11.2023. This is the last day where registrations will be accepted. Please also mention in your registration email your full name and affiliation! In case of problems / questions, please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail! We are looking very much forward to welcoming you at the course! Kind regards, Prof. Christa Cuchiero and Viktoria Schildhammer ------------------------------- Abstract: Quantum Computing, relegated for decades as a spooky distant myth, is now becoming a reality. To wit, quantum computers (albeit small in scale) are already available, developed by the likes of IBM, Rigetti, D-Wave, Google, Microsoft, ..... However, a quantum computer is not simply a bigger and more powerful computer, and requires a whole new set of algorithms to be written to perform useful tasks. These, and the underlying technology, draw from the laws of quantum mechanics, fundamentally different from our usual numerical toolbox. The goal of this course is to provide a mathematical introduction to Quantum Computing and to highlight applications in Quantitative Finance, in particular for Monte Carlo simulations, machine learning and optimisation. Numerical examples (through python) will also be introduced to provide a tangible reality. Bio: Antoine Jacquier is Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. His research interests range from Probability Theory and Stochastic Analysis to Numerical Analysis and Quantum Computing, with a view towards applications in Mathematical Finance. For more details on his research or his published papers, please visit his homepage: https://jackantoinejacquie.wixsite.com/jacquier.

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
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 13 Nov '23

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.

LTI@UniTO Seminar: Leonidas Barbopoulos | November 7, 2023 @ 12:00 - 13:15

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.

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
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

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.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following statistical learning seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, AI institute Uni Leipzig, and MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences (abstract below): * Understanding Neural Networks with Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces* by *Ernesto De Vito* (Università di Genova) The seminar will take place on *MON, 16.10.2023* at *15:00 CET *in Aula Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa and streamed online here <https://uni-leipzig.zoom.us/j/68738656421?pwd=Zll6MkdBVXAvYmZaUmV1QnJ5RWxXd…> (see seminar website for further info). The organizers, A. Agazzi, N. Cyrille, A. Kreiss, S. Mukherjee, and K. 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.*

Seminario Padova - Quattropani
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

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

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! Best regards, The organizers (Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella) -- Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://mauriziarossi.wordpress.com

(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). Place: Aula Seminari - III piano (third floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 – 20133 Milano - Ed. 14 “Nave” Campus Bonardi.

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 $n$. This completes the proof of existence of a non-trivial phase transition for this model designed for the study of self-organized criticality. This is a joint work with Amine Asselah and Nicolas Forien. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gianmarco Bet (he/him) Senior researcher https://gianmarco.bet Phone: (+39) 055 2751491 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science "U.

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…>*

Four tenure-track positions (various ranks) in the Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University
by Peruggia, Mario 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

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>. Desired: We expect a commitment to methodological research and scientific collaboration and to the development and delivery of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants at the Associate or Full rank are expected to have established an excellent record of research, mentorship, and service to the profession. How to Apply Please follow this link<https://osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/job/Columbus-Campus/Open-Searc…> for a full description of the position and application instructions. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.

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

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.
