Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the workshop Phase Transitions and Particle Systems that will take place June 24-26, 2019 at the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin, see https://www.wias-berlin.de/workshops/PTPS19/ <https://www.wias-berlin.de/workshops/PTPS19/> . The aim of the workshop is to give an overview of recent developments on dynamic and static problems involving several interacting components. The scientific program is composed of two minicourses taught by Prof. David Dereudre (Lille University) and Prof. Kavita Ramanan (Brown University) and eight research talks by distinguished invited speakers. There will be also a poster session on Monday 26 June, to allow young researchers to present their ideas and results. Please note that places are limited and participation is possible only upon prior registration. Registration closes on May 12th, 2019. All details are specified on the website.

Seminario di Yinon Spinka a Roma Tre il 18/01/19 ore 11:30

SEMINARIO Speaker: Yinon Spinka Title: Finitely-dependent processes are finitary Venerdi' 18 Gennaio 2019 ORE 11:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C Aula 211 Abstract: Consider a translation-invariant process $X$ indexed by $mathbb{Z}^d$. Suppose that $X$ is finitely-dependent in the sense that its restrictions to sets which are sufficiently separated (at least some fixed distance apart) are independent. We are concerned with the following question: How "close" is $X$ to being an i.i.d. process? One natural notion of closeness, called block factor, was suggested by Ibragimov and Linnik over 50 years ago. It took roughly 30 years until Burton, Goulet and Meester constructed an example which showed that this notion is too strong. That is, $X$ may not be close to being i.i.d. in this sense. We show that $X$ is close in a slightly weaker sense -- it is a finitary factor of an i.i.d. process. This means that $X=F(Y)$ for some i.i.d. process $Y$ and some measurable map F which commutes with translations of $mathbb{Z}^d$, and moreover, that in order to determine the value of $X_v$ for a given $v$, one only needs to look at a finite (but random) region of $Y$. The result extends to finitely-dependent processes indexed by the vertex set of any transitive amenable graph.

** CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ** Bocconi Summer School in Advanced Statistics and Probability ''Random Graphs and Complex Networks: Structure and Function'' July 8-19, 2019, Como http://bocconi2019.lakecomoschool.org We are pleased to announce that the 2019 edition of the Bocconi Summer School in Advanced Statistics and Probability, on RANDOM GRAPHS AND COMPLEX NETWORKS: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION, will take place on July 8-19, 2019, at Villa del Grumello, on the shores of the Lake of Como, Italy. INSTRUCTORS Remco van der Hofstad (Eindhoven University of Technology, NL) Shankar Bhamidi (University of North Carolina, USA) Tutorials: Souvik Dhara (New England Lab, Microsoft Research and MIT, USA) Clara Stegehuis (Eindhoven University of Technology, NL) PROGRAM Random graphs are at the forefront of applied probability, and a central topic in multidisciplinary science where mathematical ideas are used to model and understand the real world. The aim of this course is four-fold: present novel models to describe real-world networks, and their topological properties; study their local behavior; discuss networks functionality, as described by stochastic processes on them; and discuss several statistical problems of networks and their functionality, including community detection, estimation of preferential attachment functions, estimation of the source of an epidemic. The school will present basic material in the first week, while the second week will contain more advanced material, at the forefront of science. The Bocconi Summer School in Statistics and Probability is offered by Bocconi University, Milano, and is hosted by the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies. The aim of the School is to establish a track of high level courses on cutting-edge topics in Statistics and Probability. The school offers lectures delivered by internationally leading scholars on the specific designated topic, and supervised tutorials. The summer school is open to all interested scholars, but is especially addressed to PhD students, and possibly to brilliant MSc graduates/students interested in pursuing doctoral studies in Statistics, Probability, Data Science, Computer Science and related fields. A POSTER SESSION will take place in the first week of the school, where participants, upon request, may present their research. APPLICATIONS: In order to foster active interaction among students and instructors, the School is targeted for a class of at most 30 qualified and selected participants. Deadline for applications: March 27, 2019. REGISTRATION and FEES. The registration fee (530 euro) covers all the school activities and course material; accommodation for the 2 weeks, wi-fi connection; all work-days lunches in the beautiful park of Villa del Grumello; welcome cocktail. Admitted participants should register by April 23, 2019. For more information, please visit the school website bocconi2019.lakecomoschool.org or contact BBS.statistics(a)unibocconi.it
