Title: Entropic repulsion for the occupation-time field of random
interlacements by disconnection
12 JUNE (Friday) - 15:00 - zoom link: TBA
The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the
following webpage
https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
Abstract:
The model of random interlacements was introduced in 2007 by A.-S.
Sznitman, motivated by questions about the disconnection of discrete
cylinders or tori by the trace of simple random walk. Since then, it has
gained popularity among probabilists due to its percolative properties and
also because of its connections to the free field. Random interlacements on
transient graphs can be constructed as a Poisson point process of doubly
infinite trajectories. After reviewing this model, we will focus on the
rare event that these trajectories disconnect a macroscopic body from
infinity, in the strongly percolative regime. We will ask the following
question: What is the most efficient way for random interlacements to
enforce such disconnection? In other words, how do the trajectories of
random interlacements look like conditionally on disconnection?

Subject: 8 PhD positions at GSSI
DEADLINE June,11
Dear Colleagues,
This is to announce the opening for 8 PhD Fellowships in ?Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences? at Gran Sasso
Science Institute (GSSI) starting in October 2020 - deadline for application: June 11, 2020, info:
https://applications.gssi.it/phd/
The 8 PhD fellowships including "4 years - ? 16.159,91 gross yearly - free accommodation - free luncheon vouchers and
canteen",
are awarded in the area of Mathematics of GSSI (https://www.gssi.it/people/professors/lectures-maths).
Among them 2 fellowships are given within the GrowBot FET - EU project, under the direction of Professor
Pierangelo Marcati. https://growbot.eu/
Interested candidates can apply to both programs by submitting two different applications.
Students and researchers in Mathematics at GSSI are encouraged to interact with other scientific communities. At GSSI,
we believe that the interdisciplinary endeavor is the most effective way to do science and benefit society. Mathematical
models are ubiquitous in physics, engineering, information theory, social and life sciences, as they provide a
formidable framework to describe the time evolution of deterministic, stochastic and complex systems, which is one of
the main goals at GSSI.
Within the PhD program in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences a priority has been established on
mathematical modeling, both towards the traditional areas of application, such as Physics or Engineering, and towards
emerging issues in Biology and in the Social Sciences.
GSSI mathematics researchers are interested in tackling many problems with complementary perspectives and methods. The
area of Mathematics is characterized by four large macro-sectors: Applied Partial Differential Equations, Stochastic
Analysis, Numerical methods and Continuum Mechanics modeling. Within these sectors there is a shared interest in
problems related to fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and also its applications to data science.
Important ideas of classical analysis, probability theory, mathematical physics and theoretical physics are used also
for less traditional applications. Numerical linear algebra and numerical optimization help to design new models and
accompanying numerical algorithms for applications in data mining, machine learning and network science. Continuum
mechanics models, computational methods in fluid dynamics are used not only in their traditional field at the boundary
between applied mathematics and theoretical engineering, but also in nonconventional problems like modeling the full
heart function.

Nonlinear Valuation in Credit Risk

Abstract: In a series of recent papers, Damiano Brigo, Andrea Pallavicini, and co-authors have shown that the value of a contract in a Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) setting, being the sum of the cash flows, can be represented as a solution of a decoupled forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE). CVA is the difference between the risk-free portfolio value and the true portfolio value that takes into account the possibility of a counter party's default. In other words, CVA is the market value of counter party credit risk. This has achieved noteworthy importance after the 2008 financial debacle, where counter party risk played an under-modeled but huge risk. In their analysis, Brigo et al make the classical assumption of conditional independence of the default times, given the risk-free market filtration. This does not allow for the possibility of simultaneous defaults. We weaken their assumption, replacing it with a martingale orthogonality condition. This in turn changes the form of the BSDE that arises from the model. My talk is based on joint work with Aditi Dandapani.

that will take place on June 05 at 11 by the zoom platform.

Title: A new Universality Class in (1+1)-dimensions: the Brownian Castle
05 JUNE (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA
The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the
following webpage
https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
Abstract:
In the context of randomly fluctuating interfaces in (1+1)-dimensions two
Universality Classes
have generally been considered, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and the
Edwards-Wilkinson.
Models within these classes exhibit universal fluctuations under 1:2:3 and
1:2:4 scaling respectively.
Starting from a modification of the classical Ballistic Deposition model we
will show that this picture
is not exhaustive and another Universality Class, whose scaling exponents
are 1:1:2, has to be taken into account.
We will describe how it arises, briefly discuss its connections to KPZ and
introduce a new stochastic process,
the Brownian Castle, deeply connected to the Brownian Web, which should
capture the large-scale behaviour
of models within this Class. This talk is based on a joint ongoing work
with Martin Hairer.

Paolo Pigato (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata", WIAS Berlin): Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling
Abstract. In several applications of stochastic analysis (financial engineering, telecommunication networks, ...), it is desirable to model real-world quantities which are non-Markovian, for example because the noise process exhibits slowly decaying auto-correlations and long memory. In this course we will focus on fractional Brownian motion, a prototypical example of non-Markovian process. Such process is a generalisation of Brownian motion with Holder regularity possibly different than 1/2 and it is not a martingale. We will consider large deviations problems, simulation methods and some examples of application.
