RELATORI: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) e Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna)
TITOLO: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica
RIASSUNTO: L'equazione di Burgers Stocastica (EBS) è stata introdotta da van Beijren, Kutner and Spohn per modellizzare sistemi diffusivi asimmetrici con una singola quantità conservata (e.g. il modello di esclusione semplice asimmetrico). Nella dimensione sub-critica d=1, EBS coincide con la derivata dell'equazione KPZ il cui comportamento a grandi scale è superdiffusivo con crescita polinomiale e le cui fluttuazioni coincidono con il KPZ Fixed Point, mentre nelle dimensioni super-critiche d>2, è diffusivo e converge a un'equazione del calore stocastica anisotropica. Alla dimensione critica, è stato congetturato che la EBS sia superdiffusiva con crescita logaritmica con un esponente preciso ma ciò è stato mostrato solo modulo correzioni di ordine inferiore. Il presente seminario è basato su un lavoro assieme a Quentin Moulard https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00344, in cui indentifichiamo la superdiffusività e deriviamo le asintotiche della matrice di diffusione in modo esatto. Inoltre, dimostriamo che nel limite di scala corretto, ovvero che tiene presente della crescita logaritmiche alla diffusività, la soluzione di EBS soddisfa un teorema del limite centrale. Il nostro è il primo limite di scala superdiffusivo per un'equazione alle derivate parziali stocastica critica, al di là dell'ambito di applicabilità della teoria delle strutture di regolarità di Hairer.

Dear all,
You may have heard that the Cardiff University is threatening a significant
number of compulsory redundancies within its School of Mathematics. If you
would like to show support for mathematicians at Cardiff please consider
signing the open letter below and forwarding it to others.

*Urgent support for colleagues at Cardiff University*
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to you in my role as President of the London Mathematical
Society and Chair of the Campaign for the Mathematical Sciences.
Cardiff University is threatening up to half of its staff in pure and
applied mathematics with compulsory redundancy, despite the department
returning a significant surplus to the university.
As part of our campaign to avert these redundancies, we are now launching
an open letter which can be viewed here:
*https://tinyurl.com/2vjxurb9 <https://tinyurl.com/2vjxurb9>*
If you are supportive and would like to sign, please fill in this form:
*https://forms.gle/bqwZXMkajEVbucWe7 <https://forms.gle/bqwZXMkajEVbucWe7>*
Your name should then automatically appear on the letter (refresh the form).
Feel free to forward this message to your professional network.
With many thanks for your support.
Best wishes,

*School on Robust Statistics: Theory and Computation*
*Date:* 15-17 May 2025
*Location:* Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra
(Varese), Italy
The *School on Robust Statistics*
<https://datascience.maths.unitn.it/icors2025/school.html> is an *educational
event* tailored for students, early-career researchers, and professionals.
It precedes the International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS 2025)
<https://datascience.maths.unitn.it/icors2025/> and offers a unique
opportunity to learn from leading experts in robust statistics.
The school will cover a broad range of topics central to robust statistics,
starting with foundational principles and concepts that underpin
robustness, such as breakdown points, influence functions, and the
asymptotic properties of robust estimation techniques. These foundational
elements are crucial for understanding why robust methods are indispensable
in real data analysis, particularly in scenarios where standard approaches
fail.
Whether you are a student just beginning your journey into robust
statistics or an experienced researcher looking to stay at the forefront of
the field, this school provides an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow
in an intellectually stimulating environment.
*Lectures will be delivered in English.*
The school has an excellent lineup of top-class lecturers covering a range
of diverse topics in Robust Statistics:
- Rik Lopuhaä (TU Delft, Netherlands)
- Abhik Ghosh (Indian Statistical Institute, India)
- Peter Rousseeuw (KU Leuven, Belgium)
- Marco Riani (University of Parma, Italy)
- Valentin Todorov (UNIDO, Austria)
*Registration:*
- *Opening Date:* 15 January 2025
- *Fee:* Free of charge
- *Link to Register:*

Buongiorno a tutti,
Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (21 Febbraio) in aula 1BC45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci saranno due seminari per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di:
1. Claudio Macci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata)
<https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/> https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/
Title: Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural networks
Date: February 21, 2025, at 14:30, room 1BC45
Abstract: We prove large and moderate deviations for the output of Gaussian fully connected neural networks. The main achievements concern deep neural networks (i.e., when the model has more than one hidden layer) and hold for bounded and continuous pre-activation functions. However, for deep neural networks fed by a single input, we have results even if the pre-activation is ReLU. When the network is shallow (i.e., there is exactly one hidden layer) the large and moderate principles hold for quite general pre-activations and in an infinite-dimensional setting. Joint work with Barbara Pacchiarotti (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) and Giovanni Luca Torrisi (IAC-CNR).

Title: Extended mean-field control: a finite-dimensional numerical approximation
Date: February 21, 2025, at 15:30, room 1BC45
Abstract: We present a finite-dimensional numerical approximation for a class of extended mean field control problems. Our algorithm learns the value function on the whole Wasserstein domain, as opposed to a fixed initial condition. We leverage the approximation of the mean field problem by a finite-player cooperative optimization problem, due to the propagation of chaos, together with the usage of finite-dimensional solvers. This avoids the need to directly approximate functions on an infinite-dimensional domain, and allows for more efficient memory usage and faster computation times.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…>
Venerdì 21/02/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:
------------------------------------------------
12.00-13.00
Speaker: Nial Friel (University College Dublin)
Title: The clustered Mallows model
Abstract: Rankings represent preferences that arise from situations where assessors arrange items, for example, in decreasing order of utility. Orderings of the item set are permutations that reflect strict preferences. However, strict preference relations can be unrealistic for real data. In large item sets, assessors might prioritise certain items, rank others low, and express indifference towards the remaining. Rank aggregation may involve decisive judgments in some parts and ambiguity in others. In this talk, we extend the famous Mallows (Mallows, 1957) model (MM) to accommodate item indifference. Grouping similar items motivates the proposed Clustered Mallows Model (CMM), a MM counterpart for tied ranks with ties learned from the data. The CMM provides the flexibility to combine strictness and indifferences, describing rank collections as ordered clusters. Bayesian inference for the CMM is a doubly-intractable problem since the normalised model is unavailable. We overcome this with a version of the exchange algorithm (Murray et al.,2006) and provide a pseudo-likelihood approximation as a computationally cheaper alternative. Analysis of two real-world ranking datasets is presented, showcasing the practical application of the CMM and highlighting scenarios where it offers advantages over alternative models.
