SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 09/05/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Marc HOFFMAN (UNIVERSITÉ PARIS-DAUPHINE) Title: some questions in mathematical statistics linked to evolution PDEs Abstract: Evolution models in applications are often analyzed via PDEs, interpreted as a macroscopic description of the phenomenon of interest. This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires an underlying stochastic model. This is usually treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily. Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasize the interest of our approach. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 07/05/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

QFinLab Seminar - Alessandro Sbuelz (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) - 7/5/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 7 May 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Alessandro Sbuelz (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Title: The Zero-Theta Hedge Contract. Abstract: We examine long-dated asset valuation under systematic and idiosyncratic risk, driven by extreme trajectories. By introducing the zero-Theta hedge contract, a negative-Delta derivative security with a maturity-independent price, we study investor attitudes toward systematic long-run crashes. Declining expected payoff with maturity signal strong crash aversion. The contract aids in decomposing the stochastic discount factor, shedding light on long-run crash risk premia. Even for volatile assets whose price comes from idiosyncratic rallies, systematic long-run crashes remain central to long-run risk valuation. Based on a joint work with Anna Battauz and Marzia De Donno. Next seminars: Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich), 5 June 12.00. Marco Tolotti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 9 June 12.15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

Seminario Padova e Alumni Award - Jacopo Borga
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che lunedì prossimo (5 Maggio) in aula 1BC45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Jacopo Borga (MIT) <https://www.jacopoborga.com/> https://www.jacopoborga.com Title: Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces Date: May 5, 2025, at 14:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime: 1. A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. 2. An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops. Previous results to the two aforementioned points were established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak. Segnaliamo inoltre che Jacopo Borga terrà un seminario divulgativo e riceverà l'Alumni Special Award dell’Università di Padova lunedì, 5 maggio in aula 1A150, Torre Archimede Programma: * 16:30. Saluti istituzionali (Italian) * 16:40.

Short course by M. Gubinelli
by Lu Xu 29 Apr '25

29 Apr '25

Dear colleagues and friends, we are glad to announce the following short course in GSSI during May 12-16: ———————————————— The stochastic quantisation of the fractional $\Phi^4$ model in the full subcritical domain Lecturer: Prof. Massimiliano Gubinelli (University of Oxford) Venue: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) 13/5 (Mon) 14:15-15:45 14/5 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 15/5 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 16/5 (Thu) 10:45-12:15 I will present a complete proof of stochastic quantisation of a family of subcritical (i.e. superrenormalizable) scalar Euclidean QFT via the flow equation method of Duch. Euclidean QFT are measures on distributional fields which should be considered natural generalisation of Markov processes in higher dimension and which play a fundamental role in the rigorous construction of relativistic quantum fields. Stochastic quantisation is a method to realise such measures as pushforward of Gaussian measures via maps obtained by solving PDEs with random sources. In the last 10 years our understanding of the stochastic quantisation method has progressed greatly giving us new methods to attach the problems of EQFTs. The aim of the minicourse is to present, in most of the details, the various aspects of the construction of a particular class of EQFTs showcasing how probabilistic arguments merge with PDE estimates and renormalization group ideas. If the time permits I will also discuss the many open problems and fundamental issues in our understanding of these and more challenging models. ———————————————— Registration is free through the website: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found in https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/.

Mini-courses in GSSI trimester

25 Apr '25

Dear colleagues and friends, as part of the GSSI intensive trimester “Particles, Fluids and Patterns: analytical and computational challenges”, we are glad to announce 3 short courses in April: April 14-17: Prof. Makiko Sasada (Tokyo) April 28-30: Prof. Oriane Blondel (Lyon) and Prof. Alessandro Giuliani (Rome) Please see at the end of the email for the detailed place and time, titles and abstracts. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found in https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/. Registration is free through the web form: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. We would be grateful if you could circulate the announcement among potentially interested students and researchers. For any information do not hesitate to contact us (patterns(a)gssi.it) ———————————————— Venue for all courses: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) ———————————————— Introduction to probabilistic aspects of integrable systems Lecturer: Makiko Sasada (The University of Tokyo) 14/4 (Mon) 9:00-10:30 15/4 (Tue) 14:15-15:45 16/4 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 17/4 (Thu) 9:00-10:30 In recent years, there has been growing interest in the study of integrable systems from the perspectives of statistical mechanics and probability theory. The theory of generalized hydrodynamics, developed by mathematical physicists, suggests that the macroscopic behavior of integrable systems is highly universal. To mathematically substantiate such theories with concrete models, a type of cellular automaton called the box-ball system (BBS) has been extensively studied by probabilists in recent years. The BBS, which exhibits solitonic behavior, has been studied from various viewpoints, such as tropical geometry, combinatorics, and representation theory, over 30 years. However, research from the probabilistic perspective began only about 10 years ago. Recently, probabilistic approaches, including the application of the Pitman transform, analysis of invariant measures, and scaling limits, have rapidly expanded. These have revealed new connections between probability theory and classical integrable systems, showing that the macroscopic behavior of integrable systems exhibits a universality distinct from that of chaotic systems. In this lecture, I will introduce these new research topics, mainly focusing on the box-ball system, and present the rigorous results obtained in the past several years, starting from the basic concepts. ———————————————— Long range order in atomistic models for solids Lecturer: Alessandro Giuliani (Rome Tre) 28/4 (Mon) 16:15-17:45 29/4 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 30/4 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 & 14:15-15:45 The emergence of long range order at low temperatures in atomistic systems with continuous symmetry is a fundamental, yet poorly understood phenomenon in physics. To address this challenge I will introduce a discrete microscopic model for an elastic crystal with dislocations in three dimensions, originally proposed by Ariza and Ortiz. The model is rich enough to support some realistic features of three-dimensional dislocation theory, most notably grains and the Read-Shockley law for grain boundaries, which I will review and show how to derive microscopically in the context of the Ariza-Ortiz model, at least in a simple, explicit geometry. I will also explain how to analyze the model at positive temperatures, in terms of a Gibbs distribution with energy function given by the Ariza–Ortiz Hamiltonian plus a contribution from the dislocation cores. The main result is that the model exhibits Long Range Positional Order (LRPO) at low temperatures. Its proof is based on the tools of discrete exterior calculus, together with cluster expansion techniques. In this mini-course I will introduce these methods and explain how to combine them in order to prove existence of LRPO. Time permitting, I will discuss some perspectives about the extension of these ideas and methods to two dimensions. Based on joint work with Florian Theil. ———————————————— Fluctuations in exclusion processes Lecturer: Oriane Blondel (University of Lyon 1) 28/4 (Mon) 10:45-12:15 29/4 (Tue) 9:00-10:30 & 14:15-15:45 30/4 (Wed) 16:15-17:45 We will focus on weakly asymmetric exclusion processes on the line or half-line, and investigate their fluctuations out of equilibrium. We will review the various tools used in proving convergence to the KPZ equation in the strategy initiated in [Bertini-Giacomin ‘97] and discuss how they can be adapted to the singular initial condition that arises when one considers fluctuations of the facilitated exclusion process at the interface. ———————————————— With our best wishes, Lu Xu Assistant Professor (RTDb) Gran Sasso Science Institute

Two Open PhD Positions – Math for Climate-Resilient Energy Networks (VU Amsterdam)
by Zocca, A. (Alessandro) 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Dear colleagues, I currently have two open PhD positions at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as part of a new NWO-funded project at the intersection of applied probability, graph theory, and network optimization. The goal is to develop mathematical foundations for climate-resilient energy systems—a pressing challenge as extreme weather events increasingly threaten the reliability of our power infrastructure. The two positions focus on complementary but distinct aspects of the problem: PhD 1 – Modeling Weather-Driven Failures Develop parsimonious stochastic models using applied probability and graph theory to understand how spatially correlated extreme weather events cause multi-point failures across power grids. PhD 2 – Optimizing Climate-Resilient Grid Operations Design flexible, cost-effective decision-making tools using stochastic optimization and simulation to support smart planning and reconfiguration of energy networks under uncertainty. Both positions are fully funded for 4 years, with a tentative start date in September 2025. The application deadline is May 25, 2025. I’m happy to answer informal questions directly by email, but formal applications must go through the following link: https://workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/phd-positions-in-applied-probability-and-… If you know motivated students or recent graduates with a strong mathematical background and an interest in energy systems, sustainability, and uncertainty modeling, I’d be grateful if you could pass this along.

Reminder: OWABI - Ayush Bharti - April 24
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Dear all, a kind reminder of tomorrow's (Thursday the 24th April, 11am UK time) OWABI seminar<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> by Ayush Bharti (Aalto University), who will talk about "Cost-aware simulation-based inference ", with an abstract reported below. The talk will be exceptionally streamed on Zoom https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/67207457257 (password 201659), Abstract: Simulation-based inference (SBI) is the preferred framework for estimating parameters of intractable models in science and engineering. A significant challenge in this context is the large computational cost of simulating data from complex models, and the fact that this cost often depends on parameter values. We therefore propose cost-aware SBI methods which can significantly reduce the cost of existing sampling-based SBI methods, such as neural SBI and approximate Bayesian computation. This is achieved through a combination of rejection and self-normalised importance sampling, which significantly reduces the number of expensive simulations needed. Our approach is studied extensively on models from epidemiology to telecommunications engineering, where we obtain significant reductions in the overall cost of inference. Keywords: simulation-based inference, approximate Bayesian computation, neural posterior estimation, neural likelihood estimation, importance sampling Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino
