by Francesca Romana Nardi 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Cari colleghi, vorrei condividere con voi la bella notizia del premio vinto da Giovanni Gallavotti: ``Giovanni Gallavotti è il primo italiano ad aggiudicarsi il premio Poincarè, il riconoscimento più importante a livello mondiale per la fisica matematica. '' Dopo la notizia della ``Fields Medal'' vinta da Alessio Figalli, raddoppiamo con la il premio Poincare` vinta da Gallavotti :-). Vi indico sotto uno dei siti che hanno dato la notizia di cui riporto solo un primo stralcio: `` È il primo italiano vincitore del Premio Poincaré, considerato il ‘nobel’ per la fisica matematica: stiamo parlando di Giovanni Gallavotti che con i suoi studi sulla meccanica statistica di equilibrio e non, la teoria dei campi quantistici e la meccanica classica, è riuscito ad ottenere un risultato che inorgoglisce l’Italia intera.'' http://www.ilsussidiario.net/News/Scienze/2018/8/3/Giovanni-Gallavotti-vinc… Cercate in rete c'e` molto di piu`!! COlgo l'occasione per augurarvi buone vancanze e buon ferragosto Francesca R. Nardi

Seminario NAUDTS
by Matteo Ruggiero 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Giovedì 9 Agosto 2018, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Jan NAUDTS (Universiteit Antwerpen) NON-COMMUTATIVE INFORMATION GEOMETRY Information geometry is concerned with the study of statistical manifolds. These are differentiable manifolds consisting of probability distributions. In the param- eterized case their geometry is described by a metric tensor and a pair of dually flat connections. In the more general non-parameterized case they are Banach manifolds. This area of research is still developing and has applications in many domains. My interest in this domain is twofold. The notion of an exponential family of statistical models can be generalized by introducing deformed exponential functions. More recently, I made some progress in the study of manifolds of quantum states, more specifically, states on a von Neumann algebra. I review what is known in the case of states on the algebra of N-times-N matrices and discuss the difficulties encountered when trying to generalize these results. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

Avviso di Seminario: Prof. Orsingher
by Enrica Pirozzi 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Meander, excursion and last passage time of Brownian motion with drift Prof. Enzo Orsingher Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Università La Sapienza, Roma Abstract: In this talk a generalized Brownian meander with drift is considered. The weak limit is studied and the tightness conditions investigated when the initial position converges to the lower bound of the meander. The maximal distribution is obtained and generalizes the distribution of the maximum of the driftless meander. We obtain a representation of the meander involving the last return to zero of the Brownian motion. In the same spirit also the excursion of the Brownian motion with drift is examined and its maximal distribution discussed. Il seminario si terrà il giorno 13 Luglio 2018 ore 12:30 nella Aula E terzo livello del Dipartimento Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II, Complesso di Monte Sant'Angelo, Via Cintia, Napoli.
