Energy Finance Italia: deadline approaching + YITP grants for young researchers
by Tiziano Vargiolu 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Dear All, we wish to remind that the deadline for paper submissions for the fifth edition of the Energy Finance Italia Workshop - EFI5, which will be held in Rome, University of Roma Tre, next February 10-11, 2020 http://host.uniroma3.it/eventi/efi5/ is rapidly approaching (Sunday, December 15). We also want to advertise that, for the 3rd consecutive year, we are applying for the Young Investigator Training Program of the ACRI (Associazione Casse di Risparmio Italiane). If funded (as in the previous 2 editions), we will grant several 1-month positions to young researchers, coming from outside Italy, to spend in one Italian research institution of the network. In order to be eligible, the young researcher should submit a presentation to the workshop, and choose at least three research institutions to spend their grant at. All those interested in such positions are kindly asked to submit an extended abstract to the workshop (see http://host.uniroma3.it/eventi/efi5/) and to contact me (vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it) in order to have more precise details on the official procedure.

Seminari di H.A.Mimun e G. Panizo a Roma, Univ. La Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Buongiorno sotto trovate l'annuncio per due seminari che si terranno al Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università La Sapienza a Roma la prossima settimana. grazie saluti alessandra ****************************************************************************************** *When*: Monday 16 December, 16:00 *Where*: Room B, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University, Rome. *Speaker*: H.A. Mimun (Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University, Rome) *Title:* Percolation in the Miller-Abrahams random resistor network *Abstract: *The Miller-Abrahams random resistor network is used to study electron transport in amorphous solids. This resistor network is given by the complete random graph built on a marked homogeneous Poisson point process on R^d and each edge {x,y} is associated to a filament with conductance depending on the temperature, the distance between the points x,y and their associated marks. In this talk we consider the subgraph containing only edges with lower bounded conductances and, using the method of randomized algorithms developed by Duminil-Copin et al. and the renormalization argument proposed by Grimmett and Marstrand, we analyze the connection probabilities and the left-right crossings in appropriate regimes. These percolation properties are key ingredients for understanding the asymptotic behavior at low temperature of the effective conductivity of the Miller-Abrahams random resistor network. Joint work with Alessandra Faggionato (Sapienza University, Rome). ****************************************************************************************** *When*: Tuesday 17 December, 14:00 (sharp!) *Where:* Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University, Rome. *Speaker: *Gonzalo Panizo Garcia, IMCA, Lima, Perù *Title:* A self-interacting random walk *Abstract:* In 2011, Benjamini, Kozma and Schapira introduced a “balanced excited random walk” in the 4-dimensional lattice. In 2016, a similar model was studied by Peres, Schapira and Sousi in the 3-dimensional lattice. Here we generalize their constructions in the d-dimensional lattice, in the following way: if the walk visits a site for the first time, it makes a simple random walk step in the first d_1 dimensions, whereas if the site has been already visited, it makes a simple random walk step in the last d_2 coordinates. Both BKS and PSS proved transience in the non-overlapping case d=d_1+d_2, with d_1=d_2=4 (BKS) and d_1=1, d_2=3 (PSS). In this talk some result for the overlapping case (d_1+d_2>d) will be presented, in particular for d=4, d_1=2 and d_2=3. (Joint work with D. Camarena and A. Ramirez). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Seminario Antonio Lerario Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Thursday December 12th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula Dal Passo of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Antonio Lerario (SISSA Trieste) Title: Low-degree approximation of real singularities Abstract: In this talk I will discuss some recent results that allow to approximate a real singularity given by polynomial equations of degree $d$ (e.g. the zero set of a polynomial, or the number of its critical points of a given Morse index) with a singularity which is diffeomorphic to the original one, but it is given by polynomials of degree $O(d^{1/2}log d)$. The approximation procedure is constructive (in the sense that one can read the approximating polynomial from a linear projection of the given one) and quantitative (in the sense that the approximating procedure will hold for a subset of the space of polynomials with measure increasing very quickly to full measure as the degree goes to infinity). This is based on a combination of joint works with P. Breiding, D. N. Diatta and H. Keneshlou. — This talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006 — —————— Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto

2020 ABS Summer School on Bayesian Causal Inference (Florence, Italy)
by Consonni Guido 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

We are glad to announce that the 2020 Applied Bayesian Statistics Summer School (17th edition) will be held in Florence, Italy. BAYESIAN CAUSAL INFERENCE 8-12 June, 2020 Lecturer: Prof. Fan Li, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA Further details are provided below. Guido Consonni and Fabrizio Ruggeri ABS20 Directors Raffaele Argiento and Antonio Pievatolo ABS20 Executive Directors ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ******************************* * ABS20 * ******************************* Applied Bayesian Statistics School BAYESIAN CAUSAL INFERENCE Florence Center for Data Science, University of Florence Florence, Italy 8-12 June, 2020 Lecturer: Prof. Fan Li (Department of Statistical Science, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA) https://stat.duke.edu/people/fan-li The conference webpage is >>> http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs20/index.html <<< Registration is now open to reserve a place (but payments are possible only from early January). Please note that the conference room allows only for a very limited number of participants. COURSE OUTLINE The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and state-of-art methods for causal inference under the potential outcome framework. The lectures will be organized by the treatment assignment mechanisms. Topics will cover randomized experiments, observational studies with ignorable assignment mechanisms, natural experiments, sequential ignorable longitudinal treatments. Recent advances related to machine learning and more complex situations such as spatial-temporal treatments and interference will also be discussed. All methods will be illustrated via real case studies in health studies, economics and biology. Though the causal framework and most of the methods are independent of the inferential paradigm, an emphasis will be put on the Bayesian paradigm for inference. TENTATIVE PROGRAM See the daily program on the website. PRACTICAL INFORMATION The school will replicate the successful format of the previous years, and will feature lectures and practical sessions (run by a junior researcher), as well as participants' talks. It will start on Monday after lunch and end on Friday before lunch; Wednesday afternoon is free. Info on accommodation will appear soon on the website. Florence (Firenze) is easily accessible by train, airplane or car.
