PROBABILITY SEMINAR: Giovanni Conforti (CMAP, École Polytechnique ) [Padova, 21/02, 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place at the Department of Mathematics of Padova, on February 21. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Giovanni Conforti (CMAP, École Polytechnique ) Title: Understanding the most likely evolution of interacting particle systems 21 FEBRUARY (Friday), 14:30; ROOM 1BC45, Dipartimento di Matematica “Tullio Levi-Civita”, Via Trieste 63, Padova Abstract: An old question posed by Schrodinger may be rephrased as follows: what is the most likely evolution of an interacting particle system conditionally on the observation of its initial and final configurations? It is often the case that by means Large Deviation Principle this question is rigorously formulated as a (mean field) control problem in the space of probability measures. In the first part of this talk we will see if the space of probability measures is endowed with a Riemannian metric naturally induced by the form of the rate function, the equations governing the most likely evolution take the form of Newton's law. In some examples the Riemannian metric to be considered coincides with the Otto metric of optimal transport, but it is often the case that a different metric has to be chosen. In the second part of the talk we discuss how to use Newton’s laws to obtain convexity principles and dissipation estimates for entropy functionals along the most likely evolution. The interest of these estimates is twofold: on the one hand they imply a novel class of functional inequalities; on the other hand they allow to establish the turnpike property for the control problem defining the most likely evolution and to study its ergodic behaviour. Two concrete examples will be discussed in more detail: the exclusion process and systems of weakly interacting diffusions. Based on joint works with A.Chiarini, I.Gentil, J.Backhoff, C.Léonard, M.Pavon and L. Tamanini. All of you are very welcome.

avviso breve ciclo seminari
by Franco Flandoli 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Si comunica che nei giorni *martedì 11 febbraio (aula Mancini) martedì 18 febbraio (aula Mancini) martedì 25 febbraio (aula Tonelli)* si terranno, presso la Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, i seguenti due cicli di seminari, con eventuale proseguimento da concordare: *ore 11-12 Sigurd Assing ore 12-13 Michael Goldman* Il tema dei seminari è brevemente descritto qui di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ------------------------ *Sigurd Assing* (University of Warwick) TITLE: Bayesian Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model ABSTRACT: We introduce a variational inference framework for training the Gaussian process latent variable model and thus performing Bayesian nonlinear dimensionality reduction. The maximization of the variational lower bound provides a Bayesian training procedure that is robust to overfitting and can automatically select the dimensionality of the nonlinear latent space. ------------------------ *Michael Goldman* (Université Paris Diderot, CNRS) TITLE: A variational approach to regularity in optimal transport and applications to the optimal matching problem. ABSTRACT: In this course I will present the regularity theory for optimal transport maps recently developed together with M. Huesmann and F. Otto. The main point of the course is to show that as long as we are in a linearization regime, that is as long as the local displacement and the local distances of the two marginals to the Lebesgue measure are small, the displacement is quantitatively close to the gradient of the solution of a Poisson equation. We will see applications both to partial regularity and to (a variant of) the optimal matching problem. In particular, we will see how this theory allows to justify down to the microscopic scale some predictions made by Caracciolo and al for that problem.
