28 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, We are glad to invite you to the seminar that will take place on the 8th of November, at 16.00: - in presence: room 201 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Prof. Germain Van Bever Université de Namur, Belgio Title: Flexible Hilbertian Additive Regression with Small Errors-in-Variables Abstract: In this talk, we present a new framework of additive regression modelling for data in very generic settings. More precisely, we tackle the problem of estimating component functions of additive models where the regressors and/or response variable belong to general Hilbert spaces and can be imperfectly observed. By this,we mean that some variables can be either measured incompletely or with errors. Smooth backﬁtting methods are used to estimate consistently the component functions and we provide explicit rates of convergence. We amply illustrate our methodology in various settings, including the functional, Riemannian and Hilbertian settings.

Seminar Dombry @Bocconi - Thursday 3/11 at 12:00
by Giacomo Zanella 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

We are glad to announce the following seminar: Thursday, 3rd of November 2022 12:00, Room AS02 (only in presence, no online) Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, floor -1 Speaker: Clément Dombry (Université de Franche-Comté) Title: Stone's theorem and minimax rate of convergence for distributional regression Abstract: Distributional regression aims at estimating the full conditional distribution of the response variable given the covariates and is a fundamental tool in probabilistic forecast. In this talk, we prove Stone's theorem for distributional regression. It establishes universal consistency in Wasserstein distance of a large class of models based on local weights. Next we consider minimax rates of convergence on suitable classes of distributions and prove that nearest neighbor and kernel algorithms are rate optimal. Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

Thank you very much. Sincerely, Gianni Ps: further open positions at BCAM can be found at http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job <http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job> ============== Effective treatment strategies for rare diseases based on gene therapy Project summary Gene therapy medicinal products (GTMPs) are one of the most promising biopharmaceuticals, which are beginning to show encouraging results. Gene therapy based on the administration of DNA, messenger RNA (mRNA) or short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) are intended for gene augmentation or gene suppression, whereas the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or aptamers provides posttranslational gene silencing. The efforts and advances made in this area have led to the development of new therapeutic strategies to treat several disorders, many of them without currently available treatments, as rare diseases. A key challenge for the clinical application of nucleic acid medicinal products entails the availability of delivery systems specifically adapted to their features and purpose. For a successful gene therapy, the delivery systems have to protect the genetic material from degradation, facilitating its internalization in target cells and releasing them intracellularly. The first step for an efficient internalization of the nucleic acid is the interaction between the delivery system and the cell membrane. Therefore, the understanding of the intracellular behaviour of the nanodelivery systems, the nucleic acid they carry (mRNA, DNA, siRNA, shRNA or ASO) and the endosomes after the internalization process will allow to advance in the design of nucleic acid based-nanomedicines aiming to improve the effectiveness of gene therapy treatments, by developing strategies for an improved intracellular delivery and endosomal escape. The issue of physical understanding and mathematical modelling of nanodelivering is still an open problem. As a matter of fact, anomalous diffusion emerged in living systems, namely, diffusing particles do not follow rules and properties of Brownian motion, and delivering by nanoparticles also goes according to anomalous diffusion such that modelling and understanding of anomalous diffusion is fundamental for gene therapy improvement. Therefore, new and advanced techniques are required for modelling such random motions and further studies needed for the understanding of the underlying statistical physics. It is well-known that anomalous diffusion is strongly related with fractional diffusion equations that are differential equations involving integral operators defined within the branch of mathematical analysis named Fractional Calculus. Under the point of view of statistical physics, these systems show not classical features as, for example, long-range correlations, power-law distributions, weak ergodicity breaking and aging. This framework calls for stochastic processes in inhomogeneous media and/or for heterogeneous ensembles of particles and then within the families, for example, of scaled Brownian motion and diffusing-diffusivity as well as those of the generalized gray Brownian motion and the superstatistical fractional Brownian motion, in general, and their under-damped extension. In general, the project aims to assess in deep the intracellular behavior of lipid nanoparticles for nucleic acid delivery for establishing models of anomalous diffusion useful to optimize the nanomedicines since the first steps of development. An important step towards further progress in the clinical application of gene therapy is expected and the results be applied in a number of delivery systems and diseases. The project will be mainly focused on the following rare diseases: Rare metabolic diseases; Rare retinal degenerative diseases; CAR therapy in pediatric acute leukemia, that are currently investigated by the PharmaNanoGene group at the Faculty of Pharmacy (UPV/EHU) and Bioaraba Health Research Institute. The development of the proper stochastic processes for nanodelivering and the interpretation of the corresponding statistical physics will be conducted by the Statistical Physics group at BCAM led by the proponent Ikerbasque Research Associate Gianni Pagnini has decades of experience in the field of fractional diffusion equations and the development of the related models, while the molecular simulations and advanced data analysis will be provided by the Mathematical, Computational and Experimental Neuroscience group at BCAM led by Ikerbasque Professor Serafim Rodrigues. — Gianni Pagnini Ikerbasque Research Associate BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics Alameda de Mazarredo, 14 E-48009 Bilbao, Basque Country - Spain Tel. +34 946 567 842 gpagnini(a)bcamath.org | www.bcamath.org/gpagnini ( matematika mugaz bestalde )

UNIBO Statistics Seminars: Davide Ferrari, Free University of Bolzano/Bozen
by Simone Giannerini 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

We are glad to announce the following Statistics Seminar: Friday, October 28, 11.30 a.m. Davide Ferrari (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano) Fast Construction of Optimal Composite Likelihoods Abstract A composite likelihood is a combination of low-dimensional likelihood objects useful in applications where the data have complex structure. Although composite likelihood construction is a crucial aspect influencing both computing and statistical properties of the resulting estimator, currently there does not seem to exist a universal rule to combine low-dimensional likelihood objects that is statistically justified and fast in execution. This paper develops a methodology to select and combine the most informative low-dimensional likelihoods from a large set of candidates while carrying out parameter estimation. The new procedure minimizes the distance between composite likelihood and full likelihood scores subject to a constraint representing the afforded computing cost. The selected composite likelihood is sparse in the sense that it contains a relatively small number of informative sub-likelihoods while the noisy terms are dropped. The resulting estimator is found to have asymptotic variance close to that of the minimum-variance estimator constructed using all the low-dimensional likelihoods.

Kind Regards, Fulvia Pennoni On behalf of the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods /--------------/ *Speaker*: Catherine Matias from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Sorbonne University, Paris *Title*: /Properties of the stochastic approximation EM algorithm with the mini-batch sampling/ *Abstract*: To deal with very large datasets a mini-batch version of the Monte Carlo Markov Chain Stochastic Approximation Expectation–Maximization algorithm for general latent variable models is proposed. For exponential models the algo rithm is shown to be convergent under classical conditions as the number of iterations increases. Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of the mini-batch algorithm in various models. In particular, we highlight that mini-batch sampling results in an important speed-up of the convergence of the sequence of estimators generated by the algorithm. Moreover, insights on the effect of the mini-batch size on the limit distribution are presented. Finally, we illustrate how to use mini-batch sampling in practice to improve results when a constraint on the computing time is given. -- Fulvia Pennoni Ph.D. Dpt of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca

Dear Colleagues, the Department of Statistics, Computer Science, Application of University of Florence is glad to invite you to the following seminar: Raffaele Argiento (Università degli Studi Bergamo) Thursday 20 October 2022, 2:30 pm Dipartimento di Statistica, Informatica, Applicazioni "G. Parenti”, room 205 Viale Morgagni, 59, Firenze Hierarchical normalized finite point process: predictive structure and clustering Abstract Almost surely discrete random probability measures have received close attention in the Bayesian nonparametric community. They have been used to model populations of individuals or latent parameters (in the mixture model setting) composed of unfixed species with unknown proportions. In this framework, data are usually assumed to be exchangeable. However, the latter assumption is not appropriate when data are divided in multiple groups which may share the same species. If so, partially exchangeability accommodates the dependence across populations.

Dear all, We are glad to invite you to the *seminar* that will take place on the *24th of October, at 14.30*, in presence in Room *Aula Seminari DiSMeQ 4026, building U7* Civitas, 4th floor, *University of Milano-Bicocca*, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, 20126 Milano. *Erik Lindström <https://www.maths.lu.se/staff/erik-lindstroem/>*from *Lund University* will present a seminar on “*Feature Selection in Jump Models*” (see abstract below).

Kind Regards, Fulvia Pennoni On behalf of the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods /--------------/ *Speaker*: Erik Lindström from Lund University *Title*: /Feature Selection in Jump Models/ *Abstract*: Hidden Markov models are a popular choice for inferring the hidden state of financial markets as the states often are interpreted as market regimes. This interpretation implicitly assumes that the underlying state sequence has a certain level of persistence. However, when a hidden Markov model is misspecified or misestimated, it often leads to unrealistically rapid switching dynamics. We propose a novel estimation approach based on clustering temporal features while penalizing jumps. The advantages of the proposed jump estimator include that it learns the hidden state sequence and model parameters simultaneously while providing control over the transition rate, it is less sensitive to initialization, it performs better when the number of states increases, and it is robust to misspecified conditional distributions. In addition, feature selection is necessary in high-dimensional settings where the number of features is large compared to the number of observations and the underlying states differ only with respect to a subset of the features. We develop and implement a coordinate descent algorithm that alternates between selecting the features and estimating the model parameters and state sequence, which scales to large data sets with large numbers of (noisy) features. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework by comparing it with a number of other methods on both simulated and real data in the form of financial returns, protein sequences, and text. The resulting sparse jump model outperforms all other methods considered and is remarkably robust to noise. -- Fulvia Pennoni Ph.D. Dpt of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 21 Ottobre 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Marie Kratz* (ESSEC Business School, CREAR risk research center) Title: *Pro-Cyclicality Beyond Business Cycles: The Case of Traditional Risk Measurements* Abstract: There is an accepted idea that risk measurements are pro-cyclical: in times of crisis, they overestimate the future risk, while they underestimate it in quiet times. We lay down a simple and efficient methodology to evaluate the amount of pro-cyclicality in the way financial institutions measure risk. To do so, we introduce a new indicator based on the Sample Quantile Process (a dynamic extension of Value-at-Risk), conditioned on realized volatility. Using this framework, we prove that pro-cyclicality is inherent in risk measure estimates based on historical data. We identify two main factors explaining this pro-cyclical behavior: the clustering and return-to-the-mean of volatility, as it could have been anticipated but not yet quantified, and, more surprisingly, the very way risk is measured, even in a world with constant volatility, though the empirical magnitude of the mean-reversion is greater than what would be observed in that special case. We develop CLTs and FCLT’s for functionals of quantile and dispersion estimators to support theoretically those empirical findings. This is a joint work with Dr. Marcel Bräutigam and Dr. Michel Dacorogna. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85751895656?pwd=dTBiQTAzd3BoODRoZmQzMlZWTDZIQT09> Meeting ID: 857 5189 5656 Passcode: 166674 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/>

Roxana Dumitrescu's talk, Milan 19/10/22
by Luciano Campi 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Dear all I am happy to announce the following seminar by Roxana Dumitrescu (King’s College London), you’ll find details on date and venue below the abstract Title: Control and stopping mean-field games: the linear programming approach Abstract: In this talk, we present recent results on the linear programming approach to mean-field games in a general setting. This relaxed control approach allows to prove existence results under weak assumptions, and lends itself well to numerical implementation. We consider mean-field game problems where the representative agent chooses both the optimal control and the optimal time to exit the game, where the instantaneous reward function and the coefficients of the state process may depend on the distribution of the other agents. Furthermore, we establish the equivalence between mean-field games equilibria obtained by the linear programming approach and the ones obtained via other approaches used in the previous literature. We then present a fictious play algorithm to approximate the mean-field game population dynamics in the context of the linear programming approach. Finally, we give an application of the theoretical and numerical contributions introduced in the first part of the talk to an entry-exit game in electricity markets. The talk is based on several works, joint with R. Aïd, G. Bouveret, M. Leutscher and P. Tankov. Date and time: 19 October 2022, 11am Venue: Sala di Rappresentanza, Departimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano. You are all welcome to attend All the best Luciano -------------------------------------------------------- Luciano Campi Full Professor University of Milan Department of Mathematics Email: luciano.campi(a)unimi.it Web: sites.google.com/site/lucianocampi1

(PMS)^2 talk - De Vecchi - October 17 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Francesco Carlo De Vecchi (Università di Pavia) Title: A differential characterization of exponential quantum field theory on the plane Abstract: Characterizing a probability measure through an integration by parts formula is a classical problem in stochastic analysis. It finds applications in (Euclidean) quantum field theory, being related to the solutions of the equations of motion for the correlation functions of the quantum field. We approach this problem in the particular case of quantum field theory with exponential interaction on $\mathbb{R}^2$, studying a Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation associated to the stochastic quantization equation for such a model. We prove that, under some conditions on the support of the measure, the solution to this Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation exists and is unique, providing a complete characterization of the exponential measure by an integration by parts formula. The talk is based on a joint work with Massimiliano Gubinelli and Mattia Turra. Date and time: Monday October 17, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Entra nella riunione in Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89875903841?pwd=NnJUclZidHl6RTg0a0ljcEVNVXp5UT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89875903841?pwd=NnJUclZidHl6RTg0a0ljcEVNVXp5UT09> ID riunione: 898 7590 3841 Passcode: 262094 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

Dear all, our next One World ABC Seminar https://warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> is quickly approaching. Our next speaker is Radu Craiu <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Futstat.to…> (University of Toronto), who will talk about "Bayesian Computation Strategies for Big Data and Intractable Models" on Thursday, October 20, 2.30pm Uk time (Zoom link and password are reported below) Abstract: Bayesian computation is in double jeopardy due to massive data volumes that make the usual MCMC samplers too computationally expensive and/or models with intractable likelihoods. Even under such adverse conditions, Bayesian data analysis can still be conducted using divide and conquer strategies and/or approximate methods such as Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) or Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood (BSL). We discuss some recent work that addresses these challenges, including perturbed MCMC samplers that are used within the ABC and BSL paradigms to significantly accelerate computation while maintaining control on computational efficiency.

Postdoctoral position in Torino

Con preghiera di diffusione a potenziali interessati. Grazie Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/> Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino Title: FAST INFERENTIAL STRATEGIES WITH COX-INGERSOLL-ROSS DRIVEN HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS AND THEIR EXTENSIONS Supervisor: Matteo Ruggiero (University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/> Brief description: The project aims at improving current inferential techniques addressed to diffusions like Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes or their extensions, e.g. Dawson-Watanabe processes, or transformations, e.g., Wright-Fisher and Fleming-Viot diffusions. We will tackle Bayesian inference on the trajectory of such diffusions or on the parameters that characterize drift and volatility, under the assumption of a hidden Markov model framework with noisy data collection. We will typically exploit duality properties, which allow to write the conditional distributions of the hidden signal given the data in simpler forms than those obtained through the transition density of the signal, especially when the latter is only available as a series expansion, together with simulation and approximation strategies, which aim at accelerating the inference by leveraging on the discrete nature of the dual process state space. Such approaches will be used to make direct inference on the process trajectory and to set up Markov chain Monte Carlo strategies that target the estimation of the process parameters. Duration: 12 months, renewable. Application deadline: h13 Oct 24, 2022 Starting date: Dec 1 or later, 2022 Further info: matteo.ruggiero(a)unito.it Applications through https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/ <https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/> Reference number for the call: 4382; code reference in the call: ESOMAS.2022.08/XXIV.

Partially rectifying a previous message: Good morning, Hope my email finds you well. We are hiring a *PhD position in Statistics at the University of Milano-Bicocca from December 2022* (session III, published on October 3,2022, with *deadline for application on October 17 *at noon). More information about the content of the research can be found below, and at the link https://en.unimib.it/education/postgraduates/doctoral-research-phd-programm… Best, Francesca Greselin <https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=25936155400> Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca *Title of the research* Statistical methodologies for the development of green and eco-sustainable cosmetic products from marine environmental DNA *Abstract * Sustainable Fashion, Luxury, and Design are currently key sectors of Milan's economy. There is an increasing interest in an ecological and digital transition within all economic sectors, and Milan Universities, together with many innovative firms, are heading such an effort, also in the cosmetics field. This research project aims to contribute to transforming the production and distribution processes within the area of cosmetics to reduce environmental impacts and foster the market transition. The research will have a first phase to perform market research on cosmetics and luxury, firstly on bibliographic sources, and successively integrating different sources of information obtained from public repositories and from specific analyses that can be conducted on web scraped data. The first part of the study aims to understand and assess customers' interest in green cosmetics for topical use and identify the specific features that could make a difference in market share. As a result, particular skills related to data collection through different sources, data cleaning, and data integration should be developed along with the research. It also involves the processing of a vast amount of data, therefore, a good familiarity with and/or predisposition to the use of big data is welcome and desirable. Research should be carried on to devise the key factors required by the market or beneficial to it, and to scrutinize appropriate models for economic forecasting. The second phase of the research will be carried out on experimental data originated by studying new products. Within a wise ecological transition, microplastics will be replaced with natural materials for cosmetic products. This transition will be performed in collaboration with the Bicocca Marhe center (located on Maldives island), where particular plant species are found, and great biodiversity is available for the purpose. The activities will be conducted under a surveillance protocol to monitor these marine species' conservation status and assess the impact of human activities, to protect important offshore marine sites. Experiments with new cosmetics will also originate from studies of the microbiota of the skin, and how it is altered and modified with newly developed products. New chemical formulas will be experimented to find alternatives to analog formulas used in valid but not green cosmetics, perfecting and optimizing existing molecules, and formulating them as better alternative products. Finally, the third part of the research will be devoted to providing indications for production and distribution processes that will agree with the project's overall purpose of sustainability. Possible research exchange visits are envisaged with other foreign universities currently involved in ongoing collaborations.

SPASS seminar: Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), 11 October, 11:30

06 Oct '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: The free energy of (a box version of) the interacting Bose gas Prof. Wolfgang König, WIAS and TU Berlin (abstract below) The seminar will take place on 11 October at 11:30 in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica “Ulisse Dini”, Firenze, and streamed online here <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg&source=gm…>. 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: The interacting quantum Bose gas is a random ensemble of many Brownian bridges (cycles) of various lengths with interactions between any pair of legs of the cycles. It is one of the standard mathematical models in which a proof for the famous Bose–Einstein condensation phase transition is sought for. We introduce a simplified version of the model in $Z^d$ instead of $R^d$ and with an organisation of the particles in deterministic boxes in- stead of Brownian cycles as the marks of a reference Poisson point process. We derive an explicit and interpretable variational formula in the thermody- namic limit for the canonical ensemble for any value of the particle density. In this formula, each of the microscopic particles and the macroscopic part of the configuration are seen explicitly (if they exist); the latter receives the interpretation of the condensate. The methods comprises a two step large- deviation approach for marked Poisson point processes and an explicit dis- tinction into microscopic and macroscopic marks. We discuss the conden- sate phase transition in terms of existence of minimizer.

Buongiorno ricevo ed inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Inhomegenous Random <inter(a)math.cnrs.fr> Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2022 at 22:44 Subject: January 24-25 IRS 2023 Conference Announcement To: <faggiona(a)mat.uniroma1.it> Dear Colleagues, This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on: INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS which will be held on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 January 2023 at Institut Curie and Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris, and also on-line. You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement with the same informations as below which you may print and post up. Looking forward to meeting you in Paris, Giambattista Giacomin, Christian Maes, Ellen Saada. --------------------------------------------------------------------- INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes January 24-25, 2023 Institut Curie & IHP (also online) 11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a specific topic; the 2021 session is planned as follows. Tuesday 24 January: POINT PROCESSES AND STATISTICAL MECHANICS. Moderator: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma). Nontrivial geometrical patterns emerge in many areas of science and technology and a fundamental tool for their modeling is provided by point processes. Their zoology is very rich and a central role is played by the Poisson point process. The workshop aims at presenting recent results on point processes both of theoretical nature (analysis, geometry and probability) and more applied ones, notably in the direction of statistical mechanics and material science. There will also be a moment in memory of our friend and colleague Francis Comets. Speakers: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma), Antoine Gloria (Paris & Bruxelles), Frank den Hollander (Leiden), Martin Huesmann (Muenster), Sabine Jansen (Muenchen), Raphael Lachieze-Rey (Paris), Giovanni Peccati (Luxembourg). Wednesday 25 January: FREE PROBABILITY, BETWEEN MATHS AND PHYSICS. Moderator: Jorge Kurchan (Paris) Free probability is a flourishing field in probability theory. It deals with non-commutative random variables where one introduces the concept of "freeness" in analogy to "independence" of commuting random variables. On the mathematical side, it has given new tools and a deeper insight into, amongst others, the field of random matrices. On the physics side, it has recently appeared naturally in the context of quantum chaos, where all its implications have not yet been fully worked out. Speakers: Denis Bernard (Paris), Jean-Philippe Bouchaud (Paris), Laura Foini (Saclay), Alice Guionnet (Lyon), Frederic Patras (Nice), Marc Potters (Paris), Roland Speicher (Saarbrucken). --------------------- The conference and online participation are free and open to all.

Dear colleagues, I am happy to forward you the information regarding the following seminar organized by LTI@UniTO. The seminar can also be attended via zoom at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86733344211?pwd=UGNoUi9CNFM5bE5SNmNaeFR6bTJsQT09 Best regards, Luca Regis LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar: October 3, 2022 | 12:00-13:00 “How do Funds Deviate from Benchmarks? Evidence from MSCI’s Inclusion of Chinese A-shares” (joint with Lennart Dekker and Jasmin Gider) Frank de Jong (Tilburg University) Abstract. An increasing amount of assets is managed by benchmark-tracking investment funds. This study investigates how benchmarking changes affect portfolio compositions in the cross-section of different investor types and stock characteristics. To that end, we exploit the phased introduction of Chinese A-shares to the MSCI Emerging Markets index, which was announced in June 2017 and implemented over the period from May 2018 to November 2019. This change presents a rare opportunity to estimate the impact of index changes and to shed light on cross-sectional implications. We document that particularly passive funds systematically deviate from the benchmark. Market capitalization, stock liquidity and stock volatility affect how benchmark changes translate to portfolio adjustments of mutual funds and ETFs. We then study how the changes in benchmark weights affect financial market outcomes, more specifically the comovement of returns. We find that these characteristics moderate the impact of benchmarking changes on financial market outcomes, suggesting that deviations from benchmarks matter.

Dear all, Season 4 of the One Word ABC Seminar https://warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc is starting this week on Thursday the 29th September, 1.30pm UK time. The first speaker of the season will be Till Hoffman, who will talk about "Minimizing the Expected Posterior Entropy Yields Optimal Summary Statistics", with an abstract reported below. The link to join the talk is https://bristol-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/93353511660?pwd=MmFTNUR5QkFBeStlenNVemtZbzJ… Meeting ID: 933 5351 1660 Passcode: 406075 We are looking forward to seeing you there, Best regards, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Organisers When: 29th September, 1.30pm UK time Speaker: Till Hoffmann <https://tillahoffmann.github.io/> (Harward T.H. Chan School of Publich Health) Title: Minimizing the Expected Posterior Entropy Yields Optimal Summary Statistics Abstract: Extracting low-dimensional summary statistics from large datasets is essential for efficient (likelihood-free) inference. We propose obtaining summary statistics by minimizing the expected posterior entropy (EPE) under the prior predictive distribution of the model. We show that minimizing the EPE is equivalent to learning a conditional density estimator for the posterior as well as other information-theoretic approaches. Further summary extraction methods (including minimizing the L² Bayes risk, maximizing the Fisher information, and model selection approaches) are special or limiting cases of EPE minimization. We demonstrate that the approach yields high fidelity summary statistics by applying it to both a synthetic benchmark as well as a population genetics problem. We not only offer concrete recommendations for practitioners but also provide a unifying perspective for obtaining informative summary statistics. Reference: T. Hoffmann and J.P. Onnela.

LUISS Seminar September 29 -- prof Cristensen, link
by Sara 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Dear all, this is a gentle memo of the seminar by Soren Christensen, Uni-Kiel, September 29 at 12:30 e verterà su: *Nonparametric approaches to data-driven stochastic control* Abstract: One of the fundamental assumptions in stochastic control of continuous-time processes is that the dynamics of the underlying process are known. This is, however, usually obviously not fulfilled in practice. On the other hand, a rich theory for nonparametric estimation of the characteristics of continuous-time processes has been developed over the last decades. In this talk, we discuss how to bring together these two areas for developing purely data-driven strategies for stochastic control, which we explore for ergodic impulse and singular control problems. We compare the results with those of deep-Q learning algorithms.

Dear all, on Friday 23 september, at 3pm , we will have the pleasure to host the seminar of Prof. Eckhard Platen from University of Sydney, who is visiting our math department during this week. The seminar will be in presence at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova, room 702 (stair B, 7th floor at via Trieste 63, Padova) and available on Zoom at the following address: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/86350461357 Title and abstract of the presentation are here below. Modeling Long-Term Stock Market Dynamics via Entropy Maximization Eckhard Platen University of Technology Sydney Abstract: By assuming the existence of the growth optimal portfolio (GP) and maximizing the entropy for a hierarchically structured stock market, the paper derives the GP dynamics as those of time-transformed squared Bessel processes of dimension four. The average of each of their squared volatility components is shown to converge toward a common level. The initial values of basis security accounts turn out to be gamma-distributed. The risk-adjusted return of the GP is not depending on a savings account and can be significantly higher than classical assumptions allow to explain.

by Giacomo Zanella 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

We are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar (more details at link <https://bidsa.unibocconi.eu/bidsa-hybrid-seminar-randomization-inference-tr…> ): Thursday, 22nd September 2022 12:00, Room AS01 + Zoom Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, floor -1 *Speaker**: Panos Toulis (University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, * https://www.ptoulis.com/) *Title:* Randomization Inference of Treatment Spillover Effects *Abstract:*In causal inference, interference exists when a unit’s outcome depends on the treatment assignments of other units. For example, intensive policing on one street could have a spillover effect on neighboring streets. Analyzing such effects with a model-based approach (e.g., regression) can be misleading because it requires strong, untestable assumptions on how spillovers behave asymptotically. A more robust approach is to use the randomization method, which resamples the treatment according to the experiment design in order to accurately quantify uncertainty. However, the classical method breaks down under spillovers because many null hypotheses of interest are not "sharp", i.e., they offer no information for some units in the sample. In this talk, I will propose valid, powerful, and easy-to-implement randomization tests for a general class of non-sharp null hypotheses that allow for arbitrary spillovers between units. The key idea is to represent the hypothesis of interest as a bipartite graph between units and assignments, and to find a clique of this graph. Importantly, the null hypothesis is sharp in this clique, enabling randomization-based inference conditional on the clique. I will illustrate this approach in three applications: (i) settings with clustered interference, (ii) a large-scale policing experiment in Medellín (Colombia), and (iii) an experiment designed to increase business firm performance by cultivating interfirm relationships. *Zoom information:*Join Zoom Meeting: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/93778273056 Meeting ID: 937 7827 3056 Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

de Finetti Risk Seminar - settembre 2022
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

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: Felix Liebrich Hannover University, Germany Title: A tale of one (or many) probabilities. Abstract: A crucial condition that allows to establish that two probability charges lambda-system agree is Marinacci’s Uniqueness Theorem (MUT). A countably additive probability charge Q and a convex-ranged probability charge P agree if there is a nontrivial event such that Q is constant on the generated P-equilikelihood class. Special cases of the MUT can be derived from Lyapunov’s Convexity Theorem and the sharp version of the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds. A further alternative formulation of the assumption of the MUT is that the Q-expectation functional on simple random variables is locally P-invariant. It is this overlap between invariance and uniqueness that is the focus of the talk. We look at functionals defined on random variables that are globally invariant with respect to a reference probability P. Fixing a functional we ask the uniqueness question: Can there be more than one such such reference probability? For wide classes of functionals, we see that this is not the case unless they are (i) constant, or (ii) more generally depend only on the essential supremum and essential infimum of the argument. In the second part of the talk we return to the MUT and the recent, but significant extension provided by Svistula that dispenses with the countable additivity of Q. We expand and clarify the nature of the Svistula-MUT and uncover several equivalent conditions that enhance the applicability of said result. As a consequence, we present several applications.

LUISS Math Seminar
by Sara 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, we are glad to announce the following seminar, within the list of LUISS Math Seminars for this Academic Year. On 29th September - in Room 407, at 12:30, LUISS University, viale Romania 32, Roma, Prof Soren Christensen, Kiel University, will talk about: *Nonparametric approaches to data-driven stochastic control* Abstract: One of the fundamental assumptions in stochastic control of continuous-time processes is that the dynamics of the underlying process are known. This is, however, usually obviously not fulfilled in practice. On the other hand, a rich theory for nonparametric estimation of the characteristics of continuous-time processes has been developed over the last decades. In this talk, we discuss how to bring together these two areas for developing purely data-driven strategies for stochastic control, which we explore for ergodic impulse and singular control problems. We compare the results with those of deep-Q learning algorithms. -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli https://www.luiss.it/ Address: Viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

Seminario Prof. Domenico Marinucci

08 Sep '22

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Title: The Geometry of Time-Dependent Spherical Random Fields Prof. Domenico Marinucci Università di Roma Tor Vergata Abstract: The investigation of the behaviour for geometric functionals of random fields on manifolds has drawn recently considerable attention. In this talk, we consider fluctuations over time for the excursion area and the length of level curves of time-dependent Gaussian spherical random fields. We focus on both long and short memory assumptions; in the former case, we show that the fluctuations are dominated by a single component, corresponding to a second-order chaos evaluated on a subset of the multipole components for the random field. We prove the existence of cancellation points where the variance is asymptotically of smaller order; these points may not include the nodal case u=0, in marked contrast with recent results on the high-frequency behaviour of nodal lines for random eigenfunctions with no temporal dependence. In the short memory case, we show that all chaoses contribute in the limit, no cancellation occurs and a Central Limit Theorem can be established by Fourth-Moment Theorems and a Breuer-Major argument. The talk is based on joint works with Maurizia Rossi and Anna Vidotto. Il seminario si terrà il giorno 13 Settembre 2022 ore 12:00 nella Aula E terzo livello del Dipartimento Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II, Complesso di Monte Sant'Angelo, Via Cintia, Napoli.

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Title: Non-gaussian processes linked to H-functions Prof.ssa Luisa Beghin Università di Roma La Sapienza Abstract. In the context of non-Gaussian analysis, Schneider [1] introduced grey noise measures, built upon Mittag-Leffler functions; analogously, grey Brownian motion and its generalizations were constructed (see, for example, [2], [3], [4], [5]). In [6], we construct and study a new non-Gaussian measure, by means of the incomplete-gamma function (exploiting its complete monotonicity).The related generalized processes, in the infinite dimensional setting, are also defined and, through the use of the Riemann-Liouville fractional operators, the (possibly tempered) Gamma-grey Brownian motion is consequently introduced. All the above mentioned processes allow modeling anomalous diffusions, mimicking the procedures of classical stochastic calculus. Finally, we present the extensions of the previous results obtained by means of the Fox H-functions, which generalize both the Mittag-Leffler and the incomplete-gamma functions (under appropriate assumptions).

avviso di seminario: Mathematical AI for molecular data analysis
by Alessandra Micheletti 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Con preghiera di diffusione *Annuncio di seminario* Il giorno 26 Settembre 2022 ore 15.00 nella Sala di Rappresentanza del Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano Via Saldini 50, Milano il* Dr. Kelin Xia,* *Nanyang Technological University, Singapore* terrà il seguente seminario *Mathematical AI for molecular data analysis* *Abstract:* Artificial intelligence (AI) based molecular data analysis has begun to gain momentum due to the great advancement in experimental data, computational power and learning models. However, a major issue that remains for all AI-based learning models is the efficient molecular representations and featurization. Here we propose advanced mathematics-based molecular representations and featurization (or feature engineering). Molecular structures and their interactions are represented as various simplicial complexes (Rips complex, Neighborhood complex, Dowker complex, and Hom-complex), hypergraphs, and Tor-algebra-based models. Molecular descriptors are systematically generated from various persistent invariants, including persistent homology, persistent Ricci curvature, persistent spectral, and persistent Tor-algebra. These features are combined with machine learning and deep learning models, including random forest, CNN, RNN, Transformer, BERT, and others. They have demonstrated great advantage over traditional models in drug design and material informatics. *Short Bio:* Dr. Kelin Xia obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Jan 2013. He was a visiting scholar in the department of Mathematics, Michigan State University from Dec 2009-Dec 2012. From Jan 2013 to May 2016, he worked as a visiting assistant professor at Michigan State University. He joined Nanyang Technological University at Jun 2016. His research focused on Mathematical AI for molecular sciences. He has published >60 papers and has been PI and Co-PI for 15 grants (>3.0M SGD). Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di Rongfeng Sun a Milano-Bicocca (9 set 2022)
by Francesco Caravenna 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Ho il piacere di annunciare il seminario di Rongfeng Sun (National University of Singapore): "A new correlation inequality for Ising models with external fields" che si terrà venerdì 9 settembre 2022 alle ore 14:00 in aula U5-3014 (Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicocca). Trovate l'abstract di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract. We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the external field is identically 0. One corollary is that spin-spin correlation is maximised when the external field vanishes. In particular, the random field Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, exhibits exponential decay of correlations in the entire high temperature regime of the pure Ising model. Another corollary is that the pure Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, satisfies the conjectured strong spatial mixing property in the entire high temperature regime. Based on joint work with Jian Ding and Jian Song. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

Dear colleagues, We are glad to invite you to the seminar that will take place on the 8th of September, at 16.00: - in presence: room 101 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: https://meet.google.com/xaz-bwct-dqo *An Introduction to Saddlepoint Approximations* *Prof. Elvezio Ronchetti* Research Center for Statistics and Geneva School of Economics and Management University of Geneva, Switzerland Elvezio.Ronchetti(a)unige.ch www.unige.ch/gsem/en/research/faculty/honorary-professors/elvezio-ronchetti/ *Abstract:* Classical inference in statistics is typically carried out by means of standard (first-order) asymptotic theory. However, the asymptotic distribution of estimators and test statistics can provide a poor approximation of tail areas especially when the sample size is moderate to small. This can lead to inaccurate p-values and confidence intervals. Several techniques, both parametric and nonparametric, have been devised to improve first-order asymptotic approximations, including e.g. Edgeworth expansions, Bartlett's corrections, and bootstrap methods. Here we focus on saddlepoint techniques, introduced into statistics by H. Daniels, and more generally on small sample asymptotic techniques, an expression coined by F. Hampel to express the spirit of these methods. Indeed they provide very accurate approximations of tail probabilities down to small sample sizes and /or out in the tails. Moreover, these approximations exhibit a relative error of order 1/n, an improvement with respect to other available approximations obtained by means of Edgeworth expansions and similar techniques. We will review the basic ideas, show the link with other nonparametric methods such as empirical likelihood, and outline some connections to information theory and optimal transportation.

AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Venerdì 2 settembre 2022, alle ore 14:00, nell'aula Dal Passo del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata si terrà il seguente seminario (in presenza e online): On the skew and curvature of implied and local volatilities Elisa Alòs, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) Abstract. In this talk, we study the relationship between the short-end of the local and the implied volatility surfaces. Our results, based on Malliavin calculus techniques, recover the recent $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ rule (where $H$ denotes the Hurst parameter of the volatility process) for rough volatilitites (see Bourgey, De Marco, Friz, and Pigato (2022)), that states that the short-time skew slope of the at-the-money implied volatility is $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ the corresponding slope for local volatilities. Moreover, we see that the at-the-money short-end curvature of the implied volatility can be written in terms of the short-end skew and curvature of the local volatility and viceversa, and that this relationship depends on $H$.

UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Giovedì 1 settembre 2022, alle ore 12:00, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, si terrà il seguente seminario in presenza e online (su Teams): *Analyzing the loss of protection in an SVIS stochastic model with infection reintroduction, when vaccines are partially effective* Prof.ssa *Maria Jesus Lopez-Herrero* Department of Statistics and Data Science, Faculty of Statistical Studies, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT This talk deals with a stochastic Susceptible-Infected-Vaccinated-Susceptible (*SIVS*) model with infection reintroduction, where the propagation of a contagious disease was modeled in terms of a continuous time Markov chain. A communicable disease spreads in a homogeneous moderately-sized community of constant size in which individuals are identical in terms of social mixing and disease contact or recovery characteristics. Health policies depend on a vaccine coverage that guarantees herd immunity levels in the population. Hence, for community protection, a certain number of individuals were vaccinated against the contagious disease before the outbreak starts. Vaccine failures occur when an organism develops a disease despite of being vaccinated against it. After vaccination, a proportion of healthy individuals unsuccessfully tries to increase antibody levels and, consequently these individuals are not immune to the vaccine preventable disease. When an infectious process is in progress, the initial vaccine coverage drops down and herd immunity will be lost. Our objective is to introduce a threshold for vaccination level and study random characteristics depending on this threshold and also on the vaccination eligible group that could advise health authorities when to launch a new vaccination program to recover the initial immunity level. link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWUxYmVmYmQtOWVmMC00… Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare.

(PMS)^2 talk - Bertacco - July 18 at 15.00
by Carlo Orrieri 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Federico Bertacco (Imperial College London) Title: Multifractal analysis of Gaussian multiplicative chaos and applications Abstract: We consider a subcritical Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure $M$ associated with a general log-correlated Gaussian field defined on a $d$-dimensional bounded domain, $d \geq 1$. We establish an explicit formula for its singularity spectrum by showing that $M$ satisfies almost surely the multifractal formalism, i.e. we prove that its singularity spectrum is almost surely equal to the Legendre-Fenchel transform of its $L^q$-spectrum. Finally, applying this result, we compute the lower singularity spectrum of the Liouville Brownian motion. Date and time: Monday July 18, 15:00-16:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Entra nella riunione in Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87485209321?pwd=cmh1UFMxcktqUmZWMFpRVWxRbHFZUT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87485209321?pwd=cmh1UFMxcktqUmZWMFpRVWxRbHFZUT09> ID riunione: 874 8520 9321 Passcode: 202144 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Maximilian Nitzschner (NYU Courant Institute)
by alessandra bianchi 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on July 15 at 14.30. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Maximilian Nitzschner (NYU Courant Institute) Title: Phase transition for level-set percolation of the membrane model Date and time: Friday, JULY 15 - 14.30 Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/85663140963 (meeting ID 856 6314 0963), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We consider level-set percolation for the Gaussian membrane model on the integer lattice in dimensions five and higher, and establish that as h varies, a non-trivial percolation phase transition for the level-set above level h occurs at some finite critical level, which is positive in high dimensions. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of a strongly subcritical phase, in which we provide bounds for the connectivity function of the level-set above h, and a strongly supercritical phase, in which we characterize the geometry of the level-set above level h. As a pivotal tool, we present novel (conditional) decoupling inequalities for the membrane model, which are instrumental in the study of both the subcritical and supercritical phases of its level-sets. This talk is based on joint work with Alberto Chiarini. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Seminar in Pisa: Jacob Bedrossian

06 Jul '22

Dear Colleagues, the Probability research group of Pisa would like to invite you to the following seminar by Jacob Bedrossian (University of Maryland) to be held Wednesday, July 13th, in Aula Bianchi, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The seminar will take place in full presence (speaker included), but it will be streamed via Google Meets, link below. People attending on site are kindly asked to communicate it by email at classi(a)sns.it a few hours before the seminar. Best, F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: *Aula Bianchi*, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: July 13th 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Jacob Bedrossian (University of Maryland) Title: Positive Lyapunov exponents for 2d Galerkin-Navier-Stokes with stochastic forcing Abstract: In this talk we discuss our recent results obtaining strictly positive lower bounds on the top Lyapunov exponent of stochastic differential equations such as the weakly-damped Lorenz-96 model or Galerkin truncations of the 2d Navier-Stokes equations (joint with Alex Blumenthal and Sam Punshon-Smith). This hallmark of chaos has long been observed in these models, however, no mathematical proof had previously been made for any type of deterministic or stochastic forcing. We propose a new method, based on the Fisher information of an associated Markov process on the sphere bundle and uniform hypoelliptic regularity estimates, which has the ability to obtain quantitative estimates on the top Lyapunov exponents of high-dimensional, weakly dissipative SDEs.

Results from the ”statespace reconstruction” or “geometry from a time series” literature in nonlinear dynamics indicate that just 2d + 1 such functions will typically suffice to identify a model with a d-dimensional parameter space. Results from the “random features” literature in machine learning suggest that using random functions of the data can be an efficient replacement for using optimal functions. In this talk, I sketch some of the key results, present numerical evidence about the new method’s properties, and lay out an agenda for research. Reference: C. Shalizi.

20 Jun '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Leonardo Maini (Université du Luxembourg) to be held Wednesday, June 22nd, in Aula Contini, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The seminar will take place in full presence (speaker included), but it will be streamed via Google Meets, link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: *Aula Contini*, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: June 22nd 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Leonardo Maini (Université du Luxembourg) Title: Spectral central limit theorem for additive functionals of Gaussian fields Abstract: We consider a centered, continuous, stationary, Gaussian field on the Euclidean space and a sequence of non-linear additive functionals of the field. Since the pioneering works from the 80s by Breuer, Dobrushin, Major, Rosenblatt, Taqqu and others, central and non-central limit theorems for this kind of functionals have never ceased to be refined. The common intuition is that the limit is Gaussian when we have short-memory and non-Gaussian when we have long-memory and the Hermite rank R is different from 1. Our goal is to show that this can be a misleading intuition. To do that, we introduce a spectral central limit theorem, which highlights a variety of situations where the limit is Gaussian in a long-memory context with R different from 1. Our main mathematical tools are the Malliavin-Stein method and Fourier analysis. The talk is based on a joint work with Ivan Nourdin (University of Luxembourg).

(PMS)^2 online talk: Lorenzo Taggi
by Maurizia Rossi 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Lorenzo Taggi* (Università di Roma "La Sapienza") Title: *Macroscopic loops in the Bose gas, Spin O(N) and related models.* Abstract: We consider a system of closed random walks which interact through a potential which depends on their mutual distance. The model is an intriguing mathematical object on its own and is closely related to the probabilistic reformulation of the interacting Bose gas in discrete space, to spin systems and to the dimer model. We study the model in dimension d > 2 and prove the occurrence of a phase transition corresponding to the presence of macroscopic loops, whose length is proportional to the size of the system, as the chemical potential is large enough. For the interacting Bose gas the proof of this phase transition is referred to as Bose-Einstein condensation and is one of the most important open problems in statistical mechanics. Date and time: *Monday June 20, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)*. *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81858823936?pwd=dVRQRGcrTzRMMDV1UEJNcHdFN3JyQT09 *ID riunione:* 818 5882 3936 *Passcode:* 058907 This talk is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

As the output of a statistical procedure, their estimation is subject to uncertainty. In this article, we propose a robust assessment for the net premium of a standard life insurance contract with respect to the uncertainty on the estimated residual lifetime distribution function. Specifically, we provide a method to derive the range of values that the net premium of a given contract can attain when considering all residual lifetime distribution functions that satisfy an L^2 distance constraint with a reference distribution function. The results obtained in this chapter can be used to obtain a conservative evaluation of the net premium that an insurance company should charge for a life insurance contract in order to avoid financial losses due to unexpected changes in longevity trends. Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Cordiali saluti, Valeria ********************************************** Valeria Bignozzi Professore associato di Metodi Matematici dell’Economia e delle Scienze Attuariali e Finanziarie Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi (DiSMeQ), Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Edificio U7

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Trishen Gunaratnam (University of Geneva) to be held tomorrow, Wednesday, June 8th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: June 8th 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Trishen Gunaratnam (University of Geneva) Title: Phi 4 via random currents Abstract: The phi 4 model is a simple candidate for a nontrivial euclidean field theory. From the point of view of statistical mechanics, however, it (rigorously or otherwise) exhibits a wide range of beautiful phenomena. I will survey some upcoming joint works with collaborators towards understanding some global probabilistic properties of this model, and highlight some irresistible conjectures. I hope to at least explain a probabilistic representation of correlations via a type of random current representation.

Cari colleghi vi segnalo l'appuntamento con i "Seminari generali IAC" fissato per Mercoledì 8 Giugno ore 14:30. Il link per seguire il seminario sul Canale Youtube Cnr-IAC è: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6uQpsqgBD8 Speaker: Daniela De Canditiis Titolo: The adaptive Lasso estimator for INAR(p) time series and application to Hawkes processes Abstract: We propose an adaptive Lasso estimator for inferring the fertility function of a Hawkes stationary point process, without any assumption on its form. We study both the numerical and theoretical properties of this estimator. We will show its numerical advantages over the classical CLS estimator and over the non-adaptive Lasso estimator, both in simulation and when applied to a set of epidemiological data. The theoretical properties of this estimator will instead be obtained by embedding this problem in the more general one of estimating the coefficients of an AR(p) model with stationary noise. This last result has its own specific interest because it enlarges the applicability of the adaptive LASSO procedure to the case of more general time series than those usually treated in the literature.

Seminar in Padova by Prof. Umut Cetin (in presence and online)
by Giorgia Callegaro 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Dear all, you're invited to the next seminar in Probability and Finance that will take place next Monday, at 4 pm, in hybrid mode. All the details follow: * Speaker: Prof. Umut Cetin (LSE) * Date and time: Monday 6th June 2022, 4pm * Room (Torre Archimede): 1BC45 * Zoom link: please find it here https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: POWER LAWS IN MARKET MICROSTRUCTURE * Abstract: We develop an equilibrium model for market impact of trades when investors with private signals execute via a trading desk. Fat tails in the signal distribution lead to a power law for price impact, while the impact is logarithmic for lighter tails. Moreover, the tail distribution of the equilibrium trade volume obeys a power law. The spread decreases with the degree of noise trading and increases with the number of insiders. In case of a monopolistic insider, the last slice traded against the limit order book is priced at the fundamental value of the asset reminiscent of Kyle (1985). However, competition among insiders leads to aggressive trading, hence vanishing profit in the limit. The model also predicts that the order book flattens as the amount of noise trading increases converging to a model with proportional transactions costs with non-vanishing spread.

Seminario S Castruccio - Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 31 May '22

31 May '22

Si avvisa che in data 07-06-2022, alle ore 15:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Stefano Castruccio, University of Notre Dame Titolo: Physics-Informed, Data-Driven and Hybrid Approaches to Space-Time Systems Abstract: In this talk I will discuss two different approaches to characterize space-time systems. This first one is model-driven and loosely inspired by physics, assumes that the system is locally diffusive through a stochastic partial differential equation, and can be efficiently approximated with a Gaussian Markov random field. This approximation will be used to produce a stochastic generator of simulated multi-decadal global temperature, thereby offering a fast alternative to the generation of large climate model ensembles. The second approach is instead data-driven, and relies on (deep) neural networks in time. Instead of traditional machine learning methods aimed at inferring an extremely large parameter space, we instead rely on an alternative fast, sparse and computationally efficient echo state network dynamics on an appropriately dimensionally reduced spatial field. The additional computational time is then used to produce an ensemble and probabilistically calibrate the forecast. The approach will be used to produce air pollution forecasts from a citizen science network in San Francisco and forecasting wind energy in Saudi Arabia. Towards the end of the presentation, I will discuss how these two broad frameworks could be used in synergy to allow for improved predictability and understanding of space-time systems whose physical understanding is currently limited and/or largely influenced by parametrizations.

UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO Dipartimento di Matematica AVVISO DI SEMINARI Mercoledì 1 giugno 2022, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, livello 1, si terranno i seguenti seminari in presenza e online (su Teams): 1) ore 15:00-15:45 - Prof. Enrico Scalas (University of Sussex, Brighton, UK) Limit theorems for prices of options written on semi-Markov processes link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZmRiNmFjZmUtNmFlMS00… We consider plain vanilla European options written on an underlying asset that follows a continuous time semi-Markov multiplicative process. We derive a formula and a renewal type equation for the martingale option price. In the case in which intertrade times follow the Mittag-Leffler distribution, under appropriate scaling, we prove that these option prices converge to the price of an option written on geometric Brownian motion time-changed with the inverse stable subordinator. For geometric Brownian motion time changed with an inverse subordinator, in the more general case when the subordinator's Laplace exponent is a special Bernstein function, we derive a time-fractional generalization of the equation of Black and Scholes. This is joint work with Bruno Toaldo 2) ore 16:00-16:45 - Dott. Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli) Bulk behaviour of ground states for relativistic Schrödinger operators with spherical potential well link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTMzYTBmYTAtZDFiYS00… In this talk, we show a probabilistic representation of the ground state of a massive or massless Schrödinger operator with a spherical potential well. Such a representation will lead to a two-sided approximation with different behaviours depending on the fact that we are inside or outside the well. Both of them rely on some functionals of the first exit time of a subordinated Brownian motion from a suitable open set (the well or its complement). We also develop a moving planes-type argument to prove the radial monotonicity of the ground state, which is one of the main tools of the two-sided bounds. This is joint work with József Lőrinczi.

Probability Seminar in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 26 May '22

26 May '22

Dear All, next Tuesday Nicolas Forien (Sapienza Università di Roma) will give a seminar talk on particle systems and interacting random walks. Please find the title and the abstract below. Best regards, Lorenzo Taggi Tuesday 31st of May, 16.15, Dipartimento di Matematica Università Sapienza, Aula Consiglio *Title:* On the phase transition of activated random walks *Abstract:* The Activated Random Walk model consists of particles which perform independent random walks on a graph and fall asleep with a certain rate. Sleeping particles stop moving and are awaken when another particle arrives on the same site. The model on Z^d presents a phase transition: depending on the density of particles (initially all active) and on the sleep rate, either almost surely each particle eventually falls asleep forever (fixating phase), or almost surely no particle falls asleep forever (active phase). In this talk, I will present a joint work with Alexandre Gaudillière (arxiv.org/abs/2203.02476) showing the existence of an active phase on Z^2: for every positive initial density of particles, for a sufficiently low sleep rate, almost surely no particle falls asleep forever.

They are often used to describe complex real-world phenomena, and as such can often be misspecified in practice. In this talk, I will present a novel algorithm based on the posterior bootstrap and maximum mean discrepancy estimators. This leads to a highly-parallelisable Bayesian inference algorithm with strong robustness properties. This is demonstrated through an in-depth theoretical study which includes generalisation bounds and proofs of frequentist consistency and robustness of our posterior. The approach is then assessed on a range of examples including a g-and-k distribution and a toggle-switch model. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Assistant Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sis-news" group.

Seminar in Pisa: Enrico Malatesta

23 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Enrico Malatesta (Bocconi) to be held Wednesday, May 25th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 25th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Enrico Malatesta Title: Phase transitions in the landscape of solutions of overparametrized neural networks. Abstract: Current deep neural networks are nonlinear devices composed of a number of parameters that far exceed the number of data points. Understanding how these systems can fit the data almost perfectly through variants of gradient descent algorithms and achieve exceptional levels of prediction accuracy without overfitting are key conceptual challenges. In this talk I will show how common techniques used in machine learning (e.g. the choice of the activation function or the loss) deeply affect the loss landscape, tending to mild its roughness. Then we shed light on the role of overparameterization in non-convex neural networks. By analytically studying a non-convex model of random features, we identify a novel (non-equilibrium) phase transition, that we call “Local Entropy” transition, controlled by the degree of overparameterization. In non-convex models this transition is strictly different to the SAT/UNSAT threshold and it coincides with the appearance of highly entropic minima of the error loss function. Those minima, in turn, are found to be highly attractive to the learning algorithms currently used in deep learning.

We study the occupation measure of the new model, explicitly relating it to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the underlying Markov evolution and quantifying the L2 distance between their normalisations. This model extends the fixed size Moran-type interacting particle system discussed in Del Moral, Burdzy et al, and Villemonais, and we will indeed show that our model outperforms the latter when used to approximate a birth and death process. We discuss several other applications of our model including the neutron transport equation, Sequential Monte Carlo methods, and population size dynamics.

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to bring to your attention the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO. The seminars can be attended online via Zoom at the links accessible via the buttons below. Best regards, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis <http://sites.google.com/view/lucaregis> Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti <http://www.carloalberto.org/lti> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/dxQszhXdTYSeK8TgXWVwPdgch-yVozm308…> <#> LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminars: <#> *May 24, 2022 | 12:00-13:15* *Predicting Corporate Bond Returns: Merton Meets Machine Learning* *Amit Goyal (University of Lausanne)* <#> *Abstract.* We investigate the return predictability of corporate bonds using big data and machine learning. We find that machine learning models substantially improve the out-of-sample performance of stock and bond characteristics in predicting future bond returns. We also find a significant improvement in the performance of machine learning models when imposing a theoretically motivated economic structure from the Merton model, compared to the reduced-form approach without restrictions. Overall, our work highlights the importance of explicitly imposing the dependence between expected bond and stock returns via machine learning and Merton model when investigating expected bond returns. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/hfP4I4mUbx241x0z60A6739Y-00wYiECyk…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/H7wKsG1vuV3OD31wQ_0E5gOGft1OURjriG…> <#> <#> *May 25, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *JAQ of All Trades: Job Mismatch, Firm Productivity and Managerial Quality* *Marco Pagano (University of Naples Federico II)* <#> *Abstract.* Does the matching between workers and jobs help explain productivity differentials across firms? To address this question we develop a job-worker allocation quality measure JAQ by combining employer-employee administrative data with machine learning techniques. The proposed measure is positively and significantly associated with labor earnings over workers’ careers. At firm level, it features a robust positive correlation with firm productivity, and with managerial turnover leading to an improvement in the quality and experience of management. JAQ can be constructed for any employer-employee data including workers’ occupations, and used to explore the effect of corporate restructuring on workers’ allocation and careers. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ykATFHYX2laIzxQ_xgRrxeAEz3ksTLnNgK…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Qu65mxHMOuyATkYSpHoaTbGG4jZwv1_-MW…> <#> <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/IfoXGKh5By8LrSGugLNRNVSXyH2VOsaTTd…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/8usPEOcCcpYYly0bCauwMS_rfjHMGgHJVt…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +39011 15630 800 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/96qDEBjI389G7GVS3NgHy4QU5ODhiSBUXH…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/NblUBI8B5HmNemhQAOs_hH9Lb0xHqj4qYn…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/rMMfajyr067kRoDawTi2FFsw8dBZwyxWPW…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/0wIj1P36GYdj7O34J7nWI5VyNMMLDGzqBJ…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/-09AvrjEn7eE8yYbc-ZCF8ERm7rdddPHti…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

Dear All: Next Wednesday,*Anna Vidotto* (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II) will give a seminar talk on the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2AB40 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padua (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: On the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields * Abstract: In this talk, we consider isotropic and stationary real Gaussian time dependent random fields defined on the two dimensional unit sphere S^2 and we investigate the asymptotic behavior, as T tends to infinity , of the excursion area in S^2 × [0, T] at any threshold, covering both cases when the field exhibits short and long memory, that is, integrable and non-integrable temporal covariance. It turns out that the limiting distribution is not universal, depending both on the memory parameters and the threshold. The talk is based on a joint work with D. Marinucci and M. Rossi.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Sonia Mazzucchi
by margherita Zanella 18 May '22

18 May '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) Title: Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds. Abstract: In this talk I shall present the construction of Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. This result provides approximations for solutions to initial-value problems for parabolic equations with variable coefficients on the manifold. It also yields the weak convergence of particular sequences of random walks on the manifolds to the diffusion processes associated with the elliptic generator. For parallelizable manifolds this result is applied in particular to the representation of the Brownian motion on the manifold as limit of the corresponding random walks.

OGGI: seminario su "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 17 May
by Umberto Picchini 17 May '22

17 May '22

/[questo e' il nuovo annuncio di un seminario per //*oggi*//17 Maggio che era stato precedentemente cancellato]/ You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday May 17, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles" / * * marina axelson-fisk *About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is a Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity. Comparative gene finding methods utilizes the contrast in sequence similarity between functional and non-functional regions of evolutionary related species. We show how this can be applied to chromosome pair sequences in diploid sequence data. We demonstrate the approach on the highly diverse sea orchid Balanus improvisus using SLAM, a cross-species gene finder that simultaneously annotates and aligns two homologous sequences using Generalized Pair Hidden Markov Models.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/62177902216 Password: 786749 ** **** *When*: Tuesday May 17 at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminars by Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) and Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held Wednesday, May 18th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 18th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Luisa Andreis (UniFi) Title:Large deviations for coagulation processes: an approach via graphs Abstract: Interacting particle systems where particles interact via coagulation are of great interest for their various behaviours. In particular, interesting phenomena can occur, depending on the structure of the kernel which is giving a rate to each coagulation. Among these phenomena there is the famous phase transition that goes under the name of gelation, i.e. the appearance of one (or multiple) giant particle(s). Although fluid limits are known for the rescaled version of stochastic coagulation processes (convergence to the Smoluchowski coagulation equation and its modification), very few is known about large deviations and rare events in this framework. In this talk we will explore some connections of these processes with random graphs and how to use this connection to attack the problem of studying large deviations. This also allows a comparison with the phase transition in graphs, where a giant component appears. Some remarks about the possible generalization to coagulation kernels that depend on spatial position will be given. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K ̈onig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini (WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS). Time: May 18th, 2022, 15:00-16:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

We explore the relaxation of the Gaussian assumption in Single Index models and Shrinkage estimation using two tools that originate in Stein’s method: Stein kernels, and the zero bias transform. Taking this approach leads to measures of discrepancy from the Gaussian that arise naturally from the nature of the procedures considered, and result in performance bounds in contexts not restricted to the Gaussian. The resulting bounds are tight in the sense that they include an additional term that reﬂects the cost of deviation from the Gaussian, and vanish for the Gaussian, thus recovering this particular special case.

Seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza

12 May '22

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio del seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza. Grazie Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Mercoledì 18 Maggio, ore 16, Sala di Consiglio, Sapienza Università di Roma SPEAKER: Michele Aleandri (Sapienza Università di Roma) TITOLO: Opinion dynamics: conformist and nonconformist interacting agents ABSTRACT: We study two models of binary decisions in a connected network of interacting agents. Individual decisions are determined by social influence, coming from direct interactions with neighbours, and a group level pressure that accounts for social environment. We study the convergence of the mean field variables associated to the processes as the number of agents goes to infinity and we show that propagation of chaos occurs. In the first model, [2], we have a family of conformist or nonconformist agents that interact with each other. When the number of agents is large but fixed, we study the amount of time spent by the mean field variables associated with the process around the stable points of the macroscopic dynamics. In a nonconformist environment, there is a persistent disordered phase where no majority is formed: We show how in this case the introduction of a delay mechanism in the agent’s detection of the global average choice may drastically change this scenario, giving rise to a coordinated self sustained periodic behavior. In the second model, [1], the population is divided into two social groups, each one characterized by its attitude with respect to the other. Agents of the same group interact with each other, while the other group exerts on them a social influence, that may also be null or even negative. We focus in particular on models with Lotka-Volterra type interactions, i.e., models with conformist vs. nonconformist groups. For these models, although the microscopic system is driven a.s. to consensus within each group, a periodic behaviour arises in the macroscopic scale. In order to describe fluctuations between the limiting periodic orbits, we identify a slow variable in the microscopic system and, through an averaging principle, we find a diffusion which describes the macroscopic dynamics of such variable on a larger time scale.

Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 10th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Darrick Lee (EPFL) Title: Mapping Space Signatures Abstract: The path signature is a foundational tool in the theory of rough paths. In this talk, we introduce the mapping space signature, a generalization of the path signature to maps from higher dimensional cubical domains, which is motivated by the topological perspective of K. T. Chen. We show that the mapping space signature shares many of the analytic and algebraic properties of the path signature; in particular it is universal and characteristic with respect to a certain equivalence relation on cubical maps. This is joint work with Chad Giusti, Vidit Nanda, and Harald Oberhauser.

Seminar by M. Burzoni in Verona (hybrid)

Matteo Burzoni (University of Milan) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 11/05/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: On adjusted risk measures Abstract: We introduce different ways of adjusting classical risk measures in different contexts. We mainly discuss the properties of a new class of convex risk measures that robustifies Expected Shortfall by simultaneously controlling the expected losses associated with different portions of the tail distribution. The key element is a benchmark risk profile g which allows, at the same time, to tailor the risk assessment to the specific application of interest. The resulting risk measure is intimately connected with second-order stochastic dominance. A second way of adjusting and robustifying risk measures is presented in a systemic risk framework which is not based on any probabilistic assumption.

seminario G.Ascione - Sapienza 11 maggio
by Luisa Beghin 05 May '22

05 May '22

Buongiorno, vorrei segnalare il seguente seminario: *Mercoledì 11 maggio 2022* Ore 14:30, Aula 34 (quarto piano), Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma e online al seguente link meet.google.com/dwz-gvib-uoj *Titolo:* A sojourn-based approach to discrete-time semi-Markov decision processes *Speaker*: Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale) *Abstract:* Up to now, there is an extensive literature on stepped continuous-time semi-Markov decision processes. Such models generalize the classical continuous-time Markov chain decision processes by allowing for different distributions of interevent times. However, in such models, the decision is always taken in a change of state, so that it influences a priori the distribution of the inter-event times. For such a reason, these models do not allow for decision depending on intermediate observations of the system. In this talk we address the problem of intermediate observations by modelling the system as a finite horizon discrete-time semi-Markov process, thus assuming discrete observations of the system, and allowing possible decisions at each time step. To do this, we first provide an alternative characterization of discrete-time semi-Markov processes in terms of a bivariate Markov chain, involving both the state and the sojourn time of the process. Once this is done, one can use the dynamic programming principle to exploit optimal policies for the discrete-time semi-Markov decision process by resorting to the bivariate Markov formulation. With this approach we are able to exhibit the Bellman’s equation for both the value and the quality function. The latter is then used to develop a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm based on Watkins and Dayan’s Qlearning algorithm, together with a first naive attempt towards a deep reinforcement learning one. Two exploratory toy examples are provided. This is based on a joint work with Salvatore Cuomo from Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. Cordiali saluti.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Salvi - May 9, 17:30
by Maurizia Rossi 04 May '22

04 May '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Michele Salvi* (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata") Title: *Scale-free percolation mixing time.* Abstract: Scale-free percolation is a spatial inhomogeneous random graph model which features three fundamental properties that are often present in real-world networks: (1) Scale-free: the degree of the nodes follows a power law; (2) Small-world: two far-away nodes have typically a small graph distance; (3) Positive clustering coefficient: two nodes with a common neighbour have a good chance to be linked. We study the mixing time of the simple random walk on this structure in one dimension and depict a rich phase diagram in the parameters of the model. In particular, we prove that the presence of hubs can speed up the mixing of the chain. Joint work with Alessandra Cipriani (UCL). *Date and time:* Monday May 9, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6815552946 This talk is part of the *(PMS)^2*: *Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Manifestazioni di interesse RTD-B MAT/06 a Parma
by Francesco Morandin 03 May '22

03 May '22

Salve a tutti, vorrei raccogliere manifestazioni di interesse qualificate per una posizione RTD B in probabilità (MAT/06) che potrebbe essere bandita nel prossimo futuro presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Informatiche di Parma. Gli interessati sono incoraggiati a contattarmi, anche per informazioni e chiarimenti. -- Francesco Morandin -- frmor.net Department of Mathematical, Physical and Computer Sciences Parma University -- sfmi.unipr.it To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

PhD course Long time asymptotic and criticality in random dynamics (Mariani-DiGesù)
by Dario Trevisan 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear all, during May, prof. Mauro Mariani will be INdAM Visiting Professor at the University of Pisa, and will deliver a the first half of a PhD Course on Long time asymptotic and criticality in random dynamics (abstract below). The second half will be later given by Giacomo di Gesù (Sapienza Università di Roma). The format will be blended, in presence and online using Microsoft Teams. The first lecture is scheduled on Thursday, May 5th, at 11 am, at Aula Seminari of the Department of Mathematics (Largo Bruno Pontecorvo, 5, first floor) and online at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aNPe79QEwg0BQ31oFUsis6tD5qgF2… Dates and times later lectures are possibly subject to changes, but are now tentatively scheduled every Thursday and Friday, 11 am, same room (Aula Seminari), starting from Thursday 12th. No lecture will be delivered on Friday 6th. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested, and write me if you want to be added to the Team (to access records of the lectures and further material). Regards, Dario Trevisan %%% Abstract: The qualitative behavior of random evolutions in the long time asymptotic is a classical subject, which has recently found new motivations in high dimensional optimization. The course provides an introduction to classical and recent results concerning the long time behavior of some classes of Markov processes. In the first part, we will introduce some tools typical of potential theory in an elementary context, with focus on the reversibility non-reversibility paradigm. In the second part of the class, we will focus on establishing some recent results for more involved models and infinite-dimensional dynamics. 1. Ergodicity and long time behavior of Markov processes. 2. Potential theory and spectral analysis for processes on graphs. 3. Applications to statistical mechanics models. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Seminar in Pisa: Jules Pitcho
by Francesco Grotto 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Jules Pitcho (UZH) to be held this Wednesday (May 4th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 4th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Jules Pitcho (UZH - Universität Zürich) Title: Since the work of Di Perna-Lions and Ambrosio, it is known that the continuity equation with divergence-free Sobolev vector field is well-posed for densities with suitable integrability. At the Lagrangian level, these works translate into a selection principle for integral curves under which uniqueness for almost every initial data is true. Nevertheless, uniqueness of integral curves can fail almost everywhere. The deterministic technique used to construct such divergence-free Sobolev vector fields and non-unique integral curves go by the name of convex integration: we will explain some of the ideas underlying this technique. We will conclude by arguing that for rougher vector fields, a genuinely stochastic behaviour of integral curves is to be expected: we should not hope for an almost everywhere selection principle for integral curves.
