(PMS)^2 online talk: Vincent Martinez, Monday June 14 at 17.30
by Margherita Zanella 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Vincent Martinez (CUNY Hunter College) Title: On unique ergodicity, regularity, and mixing for the weakly-damped stochastic KdV equation. Abstract: We discuss the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of invariant measures for the damped-driven stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equation, where the noise is additive and sufficiently non-degenerate. It is shown that a simple, but versatile control strategy, typically employed to establish exponential mixing for strongly dissipative systems such as the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, can nevertheless be applied in this weakly dissipative setting to establish elementary proofs of both unique ergodicity, albeit without mixing rates, as well as regularity of the support of the invariant measure. Under the assumption of large damping, however, a one-force, one-solution principle is established, from which we are able to deduce the existence of a spectral gap with respect to a Wasserstein distance-like function. Date and time: Monday June 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85740643260?pwd=SzFjTXo0bWE3YjI3VWo0b3krT09kdz09 ID riunione: 857 4064 3260 Passcode: w7yJLi This talk is the fourth 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. Participation is free and welcome! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons). Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Buongiorno, Inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani. Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra ---------- Messaggio inoltrato ---------- Da: *One World Probability* <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Data: mercoledì 9 giugno 2021 Oggetto: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday June 10 2021 A: owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk Dear All, Thursday June 10 we have two talks, by Allan Sly and Nike Sun. (Note: all times are in UTC. Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Allan Sly Phase transitions in random constraint satisfaction problems - part I (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Nike Sun Phase transitions in random constraint satisfaction problems - part II Abstract: We will survey recent progress in determination of asymptotic behavior for random constraint satisfaction problems, including phase transitions and some refined understanding of solution geometry (the condensation phenomenon), particularly in the setting of the random regular NAE-SAT problem. We will discuss two ideas that played important roles in results obtained so far: (1) combinatorial models for the solution geometry, and (2) contractivity of tree recursions as a tool for calculating expected partition functions on sparse random graphs. This lecture is based in part on joint works with Zsolt Bartha, Jian Ding, Danny Nam, Youngtak Sohn, and Yumeng Zhang. The Zoom link is on the OWPS webpage.

Conference at CIRM
by Giovanni Conforti 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Cari colleghi, Ecco l'annuncio di una conferenza al CIRM di Marsiglia che potrebbe interessarvi. Giovanni Dear All, We are happy to announce the upcoming conference “Schrödinger Problem and Mean-field PDE Systems: Computational and Theoretical Advances” taking place at CIRM in Luminy, France from Nov. 15 to Nov. 19 2021. The webpage of the event is publicly available at https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/2413.html and you can find below a brief description of the themes of the conference. Registration is open until July 1st. At the moment we aim for a hybrid (online+in person) conference, but this could change depending on the development of the pandemic. Limited funding is available for junior participants or participants who cannot support themselves. Moreover, there are also some free slots for contributed talks. We hope to see you soon, in whichever form. Best regards, the organizers. Julio Backhoff, Guillaume Carlier, Giovanni Conforti, Ivan Gentil, Daniela Tonon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Schrödinger Problem and Mean-field PDE Systems: Computational and Theoretical Advances” Monge’s question of how to optimally move sand-pile stands at the origin of the modern theory of optimal transport. The development of this theory over the last decades led to impressive advances in analysis and geometry, reaching out to applied fields such as economics and machine learning. One and a half century after Monge, Schrödinger asked: “What is the most likely evolution of a cloud of random particles conditionally on the observation of their initial and final configurations? "This question, going under the name of Schödinger Problem, initiated a research line that has grown enormously in the last years since it was understood that Schrödinger’s and Monge’s questions are the same when the fluctuations of the random particles are very small. This discovery offered a natural ground for the theories of optimal transport and large deviations to meet and thrive together. At the same time, it also inspired the use of entropic regularization techniques in machine learning and numerics for PDEs, achieving major computational advantages. Asking Schrödinger’s question for strategic particles is the gateway to connect the Schrödinger problem and large deviations with the theory of mean field stochastic control and planning mean field games. This brings to light new mathematical questions. Can entropic regularization speed up the computation of Nash equilibria? Are there new functional inequalities that capture the ergodic behaviour of mean field games? Bringing together researchers from the areas of probability, optimal transport, statistical machine learning and mean field games, this conference aims to strengthen the interplay between the Schrödinger problem and mean field systems, and facilitate the birth of novel methodologies and results.
