Fwd: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday March 4, 2021
by Faggionato, Alessandra 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Buongiorno vi giro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani che sarà molto relazionato al trasporto ottimale. Grazie Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 3 mar 2021 alle ore 14:06 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday March 4, 2021 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are (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: Matthias Erbar (Bielefeld University) Title: Optimal Transport and Gradient Flows in Discrete or Non-Local Settings Abstract: Optimal transport has become a powerful tool in the analysis of particle systems and the associated evolution equations. In particular the description as steepest descent or gradient flow in the Wasserstein distance gives insights on their long-time or limiting behavior. Yet many situations of interest fall outside the scope of the classical optimal transport theory. In the talk I will try to give an overview of some recent developments concerning the construction of different geometries on the space of probability measures tailored to capture the specific features of a given system. I will focus in particular on particles systems on discrete spaces and on the collisional dynamics in the Boltzmann equation. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Jan Maas (IST Austria) Title: Optimal Transport: from Discrete to Continuous Abstract: Many stochastic systems can be viewed as gradient flow ('steepest descent') in the space of probability measures, where the driving functional is a relative entropy and the dissipation mechanism is described by a dynamical optimal transport problem. In this talk we focus on these optimal transport problems and describe recent work on the limit passage from discrete to continuous. Surprisingly, it turns out that discrete transport metrics may fail to converge to the expected limit, even when the associated gradient flows converge. We will illustrate this phenomenon in examples, discuss a geometric criterion for convergence, and present a recent homogenisation result. This talk is based on joint works with Matthias Erbar, Nicola Gigli, Peter Gladbach, Eva Kopfer, and Lorenzo Portinale. ------------------------------------------------ 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 can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/85095168711?pwd=dGx2dnNySUZQNm40ZC9aWlJTaXZTZz09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Meeting-ID: 850 9516 8711 Passcode: 244220 Please feel free to circulate this email.

Statistics and Probability Seminars @University of Nottingham: Karthik Bharath (3pm Italian time)
by Fabrizio Leisen 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Con preghiera di diffusione. *Italian time: 15:00* Cordiali Saluti, Fabrizio Dear All, the Statistics and Probability group at the University of Nottingham organize a series of internal seminars which will be available to anyone interested, even outside the University of Nottingham. Our next speaker is Karthik Bharath. Seminar date and time: *4**th* * of March at 2pm. * Below you can find the Abstract and Title. Furthermore, you can find the Teams link to join the seminar. Best Wishes, Fabrizio Leisen Professor of Statistics University of Nottingham School of Mathematical Sciences University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK http://sites.google.com/site/fabrizioleisen/ You are cordially invited to the following seminar: Karthik Bharath <https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/mathematics/people/karthik.bharath> (Internal Seminar) ----> 4th of March *at 2pm* Title: Shape space and models for functional data Abstract: Statements such as “death rate curve needs to remain single peaked”; “we expect the second peak of infected cases to be smaller compared to the first”, are, unfortunately, all too familiar nowadays. They represent instances of informal descriptions of shapes of functions we can relate to readily, wherein the notion of shape relates exclusively to ‘y direction’ variation. To formalise this, in this talk, I will consider a group-theoretic description of the shape of a function as that which is left behind once ‘x direction’ variability is ignored: only the number and values of local extrema are relevant to describe its shape and not their timings. Accordingly, the shape of a function is shown to be uniquely encoded by a polynomial, and this connection allows us to study structural aspects of the shape space of functions. For statistical analysis of functional data (e.g., densely sampled multiple time series data) the upside to this perspective is that (i) a natural dimension reduction mechanism based on local extrema becomes available when analysing amplitudes that avoids the task of registering (or aligning) the data; and (ii) simple finite-dimensional generative shape models can be defined. On the other hand, geometry of the shape space is complicated, and this makes it difficult to compute descriptive statistics (e.g., average shape) and study models induced on the shape space from the original (simpler) function space. This is joint work with Ian Jermyn (Durham). __________________________________________________ Microsoft Teams meeting Join on your computer or mobile app Click here to join the meeting <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YTYwODYyNDEtYThiZi00…> Learn more <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> | Meeting options <https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=ac48eccb-4345-40d8-…> -- Fabrizio Leisen Professor of Statistics University of Nottingham School of Mathematical Sciences University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK http://sites.google.com/site/fabrizioleisen/

Pisa Online Seminars - Atul Shekhar (Tuesday, March 9 at 16:00)
by Giacomo Filippo Di Gesu 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa. The talk will be accessible under the link Click here to join the meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3A17115d7f6ef44c5e91974362906c…> Best regards, Giacomo Tuesday, March 9, 16:00 Speaker: Atul Shekhar (Université Lyon 1) Title: On the fixed points of Branching Brownian motion Abstract: We consider a particle system on the real line in which each particle evolves into many particles via independent Branching Brownian motions. Under a very mild natural assumption, we give a full characterisation of the fixed points of this particle system. This result is motivated by an earlier work of T. Liggett on particle systems without branching. Further motivations come from the close connection between the Branching Brownian motion and the two dimensional Gaussian free field. This talk is based on a joint work with Christophe Garban and Xinxin Chen. ************************ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it<mailto:giacomo.digesu@unipi.it> https://sites.google.com/site/giacomodigesu/

AMaMeF: update on the 2021 conference in Padova
by Tiziano Vargiolu 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Dear all, we hope that this message finds you well. This message is an update on the 10th general AMaMeF (Advanced Mathematical Methods for Finance) conference, scheduled on June 22-25, 2021, at the University of Padova (Italy). In agreement with the AMaMeF steering committee, we decided to keep the conference on the scheduled dates. Obviously, the current pandemic situation, travel restrictions and the uncertainty of the near future prevent us from organising a conference and the accompanying social events in the style of the good old days. For this reason, we are planning a conference in a hybrid format, with the presence of a limited number of participants and with the option of rapidly switching to a fully online conference, if the hybrid format will turn out to be unfeasible. All of the plenary speakers confirmed their willingness to participate to the conference, and most of them will be present, if possible. The Call for contributed sessions and talks will be announced and opened very soon. Please visit the conference webiste for more detailed informations and constant updates: https://events.math.unipd.it/AMAMEF2021/ Best wishes Tiziano -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Vargiolu Dipartimento di Matematica Phone: +39 049 8271383 Universita' di Padova Fax: +39 049 8271428 Via Trieste, 63 E-mail: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it I-35121 Padova (Italy) WWW: http://www.math.unipd.it/~vargiolu --------------------------------------------------------------------------
