These equations are motivated for example by the scaling limits of critical pinning models. The well-posedness of such stochastic PDEs is still an open problem, despite the recent spectacular progresses in the field obtained by means of regularity structures and paracontrolled calculus, the lack of a viable stochastic calculus for SPDEs being a persistent major obstacle. A recent result by Athreya-Butkovsky-Le-Mytnik gives new hope to solve this long-standing problem. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Francesco Caravenna (University of Milano-Bicocca) Title: Hairer's Reconstruction Theorem without Regularity Structures Abstract: We give a new self-contained and elementary proof of Martin Hairer's Reconstruction Theorem, which is one of the cornerstones of his theory of Regularity Structures. We present it as a general result in the theory of distributions that can be understood without any knowledge of Regularity Structures themselves, which we do not even need to define. We will also discuss some applications of independent interest.

Thank you for your ongoing support for the One World Probability Seminar. We would be grateful if you could please circulate the message below around your research networks, to help us reach probabilists who are not subscribers to the OWPS mailing list. Started last spring in response to the Covid-19 epidemic, the OWP seminar seeks to present top level speakers from around the world to a broad international audience of probabilists. It takes place each Thursday on Zoom and is simultaneously live streamed on YouTube (check the website to see the time in your local time zone). The weekly format is typically two talks on the same or related subjects, aimed at a broad audience. The first talk is usually a background talk, while the second highlights more contemporary research developments. You can find the details of the upcoming seminars, videos and slides of past- seminars, and instructions on how to subscribe to the OWPS mailing list on the OWPS website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar The weekly seminars are announced to the mailing list the day before.

Elizabeth Meckes

Dear Colleagues, this is a slightly unusual message. As you probably know, Elizabeth Meckes - an expert in random matrix theory and Stein's method - died unexpectedly in December 2020 after a short illness, while on sabbatical in Oxford. She was 40 years old: https://thedaily.case.edu/remembering-professor-of-mathematics-elizabeth-me… Yesterday, during a conference in Bonn, Persi Diaconis (her former PhD advisor) gave a talk about Elizabeth, her research and her personality. It is a beautiful and very touching speech, yet able to convey the universal joy of doing research and mentoring young colleagues.

They appear in statistical physics, random matrix theory, vortex systems, constructive approximation… and can be seen as a (possibly infinite) random collection of points that exhibit interesting stochastic features depending on the length scale and the temperature T. For example, their global arrangement is predicted by a mean field model and is found to be independent of T, whereas their local arrangement varies wildly with T while conserving strong, surprising rigidity properties all along. I will present some basic facts about the analysis of Coulomb gases and mention a few long-standing questions around which recent developments have taken place. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Sylvia Serfaty (NYU Courant) Title: Local laws and fluctuations for Coulomb gases Abstract: We are interested in the statistical mechanics of systems of N points with Coulomb interactions in general dimension for a broad temperature range. We discuss local laws characterizing the rigidity of the system at the microscopic level, as well as free energy expansion and Central Limit Theorems for fluctuations. ------------------------------------------------ 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/84008096626?pwd=N3MyYUFaMElvazIrS3hzNE1aSnRRZz09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Please feel free to circulate this email.

Talk by Arturo Jaramillo [Jan 19, 4:30pm - Zoom]
by Maurizia Rossi 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Dear all, I would like to announce the following online seminar that will take place next week via the Zoom platform. Best regards, Maurizia Rossi *Tuesday, Jan 19 - 4:30pm *(Rome time zone) Speaker: *Arturo Jaramillo Gil* (*CIMAT -* Centro de Investigación en matemáticas, Mexico) Title: *Quantitative Erdös-Kac theorem for additive functions* Summary: The talk will take as a starting point the celebrated Erdös-Kac theorem; a result of great importance in probabilistic number theory, which establishes that the fluctuations of the number of prime factors in a uniform sample over {1,..., n} are asymptotically Gaussian. Naturally, after the publication of this result, many quantitative versions of it have been studied. LeVeque conjectured that the optimal rate was asymptotically equivalent to loglog(n)^(-1/2). This was later proved by Turan and Rényi by means of an ingenious manipulation of the underlying characteristic function. Unfortunately, up to this day, all the perspectives for solving LeVeque's conjecture are based on the use of non-trivial complex analysis tools, while the probabilistic perspective has been only successfully applied to obtain suboptimal rates of convergence. In this talk, we will give a purely probabilistic proof of LeVeque's conjecture which will allow us to address the problem in a general fashion by means of Stein's method techniques. *Link Zoom* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88100676046?pwd=NTFjdlAyVjdSTE8rVnBmUGVWelFPdz09 *Meeting ID*: 881 0067 6046 *Passcode*: 680246 - - - Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università di Milano-Bicocca

Padova Online Seminar by Giacomo Di Gesù (Università di Pisa) [Friday, Jan. 15 at 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on January 15 at 14.30 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Giacomo Di Gesù (Università di Pisa) Title: Metastability for an SPDE via functional inequalities 15 JANUARY (Friday) - 14:30 zoom link: TBA (available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: We consider a small perturbation by space-time Gaussian white noise of the Allen-Cahn equation. The latter is a nonlinear PDE, which can be seen as a gradient flow with respect to a double-well potential. The perturbed stochastic evolution is then a paradigmatic model exhibiting metastable dynamics: before exploring the full state space and reaching equilibrium, the system remains localized at the bottom of one well for a very long time. In the talk I will present a general approach to get metastability estimates in this infinite-dimensional setting. The focus is on sharp estimates that go beyond rough large deviation asymptotics and that are crucial for deriving coarse-grained effective dynamics. A key ingredient of the method is the systematic use of log-Sobolev inequalities in order to lift tunnelling calculations to infinite dimensions. As a main application we show how to compute the leading asymptotic behavior of the exponentially small spectral gap. We obtain an explicit formula expressed in terms of a certain Fredhom determinant as prefactor. This result shows that the gap behaves like the inverse of the average tunnelling time between wells and provides an alternative, spectral-theoretic way to prove the Eyring-Kramers formula. Based on joint work with Morris Brooks (IST Austria). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/
