Seminario L Campi presso Univ. Milano 11/2/2018
by Marco Alessandro Fuhrman 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

Il professor Luciano Campi della London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) terrà un seminario dal titolo Mean-field games with absorption il giorno lunedì 11 febbraio 2019 alle ore 14:00 in sala rappresentanza del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Milano (via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano). Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati. Cordiali saluti, Marco Fuhrman Abstract. We introduce a simple class of mean field games with absorbing boundary over a finite time horizon. In the corresponding N-player games, the dynamics of players' states follows a system of weakly interacting Ito equations with absorption on first exit from a given set. Once a player leaves the game, her/his contribution is removed from the empirical measure of the system. Players thus interact through a renormalized empirical measure. In the definition of solution to the mean field game, the renormalization appears in form of a conditional law. We also consider the case of a system whose drift can be affected by the fraction of past absorbed players. Under fairly general assumptions, we show that in both cases a solution of the mean field game exists in feedback form and it induces approximate Nash equilibria for the N-player games when N is sufficiently large. This approximation result is established under non-degeneracy of the diffusion coefficient. The degenerate case is more delicate and might lead to counter-examples. The talk is based on joint works with Markus Fischer, Maddalena Ghio and Giulia Livieri.

PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* Giovedì 7 Febbraio 2019 alle ore 15:00 in Aula S presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. *Gianni Pagnini* (BCAM – Basque Center for Applied Mathematics, Bilbao, Spain) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Convergence of linear superposition of Langevin-driven Brownian particles **to the fractional Brownian motion* Abstract: A heterogeneous ensemble of Brownian particles governed by the Langevin equation is considered. The heterogeneity of the ensemble is characterised by a population of friction coefficients. When the frequency histogram of the friction coefficients decreases with a proper power-law, the linear superposition of these Brownian trajectories converges to the fractional Brownian motion. This construction of the fractional Brownian motion provides a dynamical framework that allows for physical perspectives. In this respect, this results is first connected with the so-called generalized gray Brownian motion and later the application for modelling anomalous diffusion in biological systems is discussed. The first part of the seminar is based on a research in collaboration with Mirko D'Ovidio whose results are still work in progress, and the second part is based on: M. D'Ovidio, S. Vitali, V. Sposini, O. Sliusarenko, P. Paradisi, G. Castellani, G.

Workshop "The Geometry of Random Fields" Tor Vergata
by Domenico Marinucci 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Cari Colleghi Venerdì 25 gennaio si terrà presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata (Aula D'Antoni) il mini-workshop "The Geometry of Random Fields"; il programma è il seguente: 9.30-10.15 Dmitry Belyaev (Oxford University) Geometry of smooth Gaussian fields and percolation Abstract: Gaussian fields and their level sets are of significant mathematical interest, but they also appear in many other areas of science: oceanography, cosmology and engineering, just to name a few. In this talk I will give an gently introduction to the geometric theory of smooth Gaussian fields, will discuss conjectures about their connection with percolation models and will talk about recent progress in this area. 10.15-11.00 Igor Wigman (King's College London) Points on nodal lines with given direction Abstract: We study of the directional distribution function of nodal lines for eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a planar domain. This quantity counts the number of points where the normal to the nodal line points in a given direction. We give upper bounds for the flat torus, and compute the expected number for arithmetic random waves. 11.00-11.30 Coffee Break 11.30-12.15 Anne Estrade (Université Paris Descartes) On Berry's dislocation lines in 3D framework Abstract: We study the length of dislocation lines that are given as nodal lines of a complex Gaussian random wave indexed by $\R^3$. We consider random waves that are eigenfunction of the 3D Euclidean Laplacian, isotropically distributed or not. We are particularly interested in the expectation and the variance of the length and their behavior as the associated eigenvalue goes to infinity. We compare the results with the similar situation in 2D that has been extensively studied since Berry's paper in 2002. This is a work in progress with Federico Dalmao and Jose Leon (Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay). 12.15- 13.00 Maurizia Rossi (Università di Pisa) Title: Nodal lengths of random spherical harmonics. Abstract: Random spherical harmonics are Gaussian eigenfunctions of the spherical Laplacian; in this talk we study the geometry of their excursion sets, in particular the high-energy behavior of their boundary length. For the nodal case we show that the length is asymptotically equivalent, in the L^2-sense, to the sample trispectrum, obtaining as a by-product a quantitative Central Limit Theorem for it. The length at non-zero level, being asymptotically equivalent to the (random) norm of the eigenfunction, is proved to be Gaussian and independent of the nodal length in the high-energy limit. Removing the effect of the eigenfunctions norm (which play no role in the nodal case indeed) we prove that the partial correlation between nodal and boundary lengths is asymptotically one. This talk is based on joint works with D. Marinucci and I. Wigman.

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
