Kendall Award: Call for nominations The award committee invites nominations for the Bernoulli Society-Royal Statistical Society David G Kendall Award for Young Researchers. The award is open to those who obtained their PhD after January 1st 2013 (with extensions for disruptions to the candidate’s work available at the committee’s discretion). This new prize for an excellent young researcher will be awarded every two years. The subject will alternate between probability and mathematical statistics. The inaugural award, to be made in Summer 2021, is dedicated to probability theory. The name of the prize honours David G Kendall, who was the first president of the Bernoulli Society and was awarded the RSS Guy Medal in Gold in 1981. The prize will be presented at either a Bernoulli Society conference (typically the Bernoulli-IMS World Congress or the ISI-WSC) or RSS conference (as specified by the applicant). The prize consists of a certificate and the award of €2,000 to cover the expenses of attendance at the conference. Nominations should be communicated to the award committee through grg(a)statslab.cam.ac.uk and be signed by two members of the BS or the RSS. They must include the name, affiliation, and brief curriculum vitae (including a list of publications) of the nominee, a statement of no more than 100 words summarizing the case for nomination, a list of the best 3 articles, and a review of no more than 2 pages of the nominee's research contributions. Award Committee - Geoffrey Grimmett (Cambridge University and Heilbronn Institute) - Saul Jacka (University of Warwick and Alan Turing Institute) - Gesine Reinert (Oxford University and Alan Turing Institute) - Ruth Williams (University of California, San Diego) *Deadline for nominations:* *Sunday 31 January 2021* More details <https://mailings.isi-web.org/?nltr=NjY7NDg3ODtodHRwOi8vd3d3LmJlcm5vdWxsaS1z…> on the prize. <https://mailings.isi-web.org/?nltr=NjY7NDg3ODtodHRwczovL21haWxpbmdzLmlzaS13…>

Seminario di Thomas Finn a Roma Tre il 12 ottobre alle 14:00

Title: Non-equilibrium multi-scale analysis and coexistence in competing first passage percolation Speaker: Thomas Finn (University of Bath) Lunedi' 12 Ottobre 2020 ORE 14:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Università degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Abstract We consider a natural random growth process with competition on Z^d called first passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE), in which two processes compete for the occupancy of sites. The first starts at the origin and spreads through the edges of Z^d at rate 1, while the second is initially dormant in seeds, which are distributed as a product of Bernoulli random variables of parameter p on Z^d, and grows from a seed at rate lambda>0 once either process attempts to occupy that seed. Depending on the value of p and lamba, the model observes a rich behaviour with multiple phase transitions. We prove that there is a coexistence phase in which both processes occupy a positive density of sites, which is a stark contrast to the behaviour of other competition models on Z^d. In studying FPPHE, we introduce a novel approach to multi-scale analysis that can be used to analyse processes with non-equilibrium dynamics. Indeed, FPPHE lacks both equilibrium dynamics and monotonicity (adding a seed could benefit the first process), preventing the use of a more standard multi-scale approach. In this talk, we outline our main results for FPPHE and provide an overview for how this new multi-scale approach can be applied.

Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of continuum and weak disorder scaling limits of statistical mechanics systems which are disorder relevant, that is, disorder perturbations of an underlying pure system that alter its large scale behaviour, however small is the perturbation. Examples include the directed polymer model in dimension 1, the disordered pinning model, and the random field perturbation of the critical two-dimensional Ising model. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Adam Bowditch (University College Dublin): The two-dimensional continuum random field Ising model. Abstract: The critical two-dimensional Ising model with random field perturbation acting as site disorder is a well known example of a disorder relevant system. If the disorder strength is suitably weakened as the lattice mesh is refined then the model admits a continuum scaling limit. I will discuss this procedure and compare the continuum model with and without the random field perturbation. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It is can also be directly access through the link below: https://impa-br.zoom.us/j/96846977028?pwd=QVFpcUVkSFpNQnFjZXhoMWJzWEhaQT09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimpa-br.z…> Please feel free to circulate this email.

Link to Tyler Helmuth's talk (Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 14:00)

28 Sep '20

Dear colleagues, the previously announced seminar by Tyler Helmuth will be accessible under the following link: Join Microsoft Teams Meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3af828e8fe540e4d39b10802fc3edd…> Tuesday, Sept. 29, 14:00 Speaker: Tyler Helmuth Title: Random spanning forests and hyperbolic symmetry Abstract: The arboreal gas is the probability measure that arises from conditioning the random subgraph given by Bernoulli(p) bond percolation to be a spanning forest, i.e., to contain no cycles. This conditioning makes sense on any finite graph G, and in the case p=1/2 gives the uniform measure on spanning forests. The arboreal gas also arises as a q—> 0 limit of the q-state random cluster model. What are the percolative properties of these forests? This turns out to be a surprisingly rich question, and I will discuss what is known and conjectured. I will also describe a tool for studying connection probabilities, the magic formula, which arises due to an important connection between the arboreal gas and spin systems with hyperbolic symmetry. Based on joint work with Roland Bauerschmidt, Nick Crawford, and Andrew Swan. Best regards, Giacomo
