Seminario Lorenzo Bertini - Politecnico di Milano - 15 Aprile 2025
by Luca Scarpa 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Martedì 15 Aprile 2025, ore 14:30. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Lorenzo Bertini, Università di Roma La Sapienza. Title: Dissipative quantum lattice systems. Abstract. We analyze a class of quantum Feller semigroups describing the evolution of interacting quantum lattice systems. By regarding the interacting evolution as a perturbation of a non-interacting dissipative dynamics, we obtain a quantitative criterion that yields the uniqueness of the stationary state together with the exponential convergence of local observables. The analysis is based on suitable a priori bounds on the resolvent equation which yield quantitive estimates on the evolution of local observables.

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 7 aprile 2025 - S. Favaro & M. Beraha
by Sonia Mazzucchi 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Buongiorno, ricordiamo che oggi lunedì 7 aprile dalle 16 alle 17:15 si svolgerà il periodico seminario on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA ( http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb I relatori di oggi saranno Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) che parleranno di: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unitn.zoom.us/j/87150580430 ID riunione: 871 5058 0430 Codice d’accesso: 591823 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) TITOLO: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verrà introdotto il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie, presentandone una caratterizzazione in termini di sufficienza predittiva nell’ambito della classe dei modelli di campionamento di specie. Successivamente, verrà offerta una panoramica sui principali teoremi limite relativi al numero di blocchi e blocchi con molteplicità della partizione di Ewens-Pitman, con particolare attenzione alle fluttuazioni quasi-certe, ai principi di grandi deviazioni e alle fluttuazioni Gaussiane. Infine, si illustrerà un’applicazione del modello di Ewens-Pitman alla soluzione Bayesiana del problema della stima della “missing mass”, noto come problema di Good-Turing, e della stima del “unseen”, o problema di Fisher-Efron. Nella seconda parte del seminario si parlerà di allocazioni aleatorie; un’allocazione di N oggetti è un multi-insieme di sottoinsiemi non vuoti degli N oggetti che, al contrario di una partizione, possono non essere mutuamente esclusivi o esaustivi. Partendo dal modello Indian buffet di Ghahramani e Griffiths, che costituisce il naturale analogo del modello di Ewens nel caso di allocazioni, verranno presentati alcuni risultati sull’analisi Bayesiana di allocazioni aleatorie. In particolare, verranno discusse caratterizzazioni di sufficienza predittiva per allocazioni aleatorie, che generalizzano i corrispondenti risultati sui modelli di campionamento di specie. Due illustrazioni relative al problema delle “missing features” verranno descritte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario di Charles Bordenave a Roma Tre il 10 aprile alle 16:30
by Pietro Caputo 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

Giovedì 10 aprile alle ore 16.30, Charles Bordenave (CNRS - Marseille) terrà il seminario Title: Cutoff for geodesic paths on hyperbolic manifolds Abstract: This is a joint work with Joffrey Mathien. We establish new instances of the cutoff phenomenon for geodesic paths and for the Brownian motion on compact hyperbolic manifolds. We prove that for any fixed compact hyperbolic manifold, the geodesic path started on a spatially localized initial condition exhibits cutoff. Our work also extends results obtained by Golubev and Kamber on hyperbolic surfaces of large volume to any dimension. More generally, we will discuss ongoing works on the cutoff phenomenon in mixing dynamical systems. Il seminario si svolgerà presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Lungotevere Dante 376 - aula M1. -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo

The analysis of these so-called spherical integrals, in particular their high-dimensional ("large-N") asymptotics, has played a central role in random matrix theory and related subjects over the last 25 years. I'll outline the history of these special functions and describe a number of applications in which they arise, including some original research results with various coauthors. Finally, as a segue to the second lecture by Jon Novak, I'll discuss approaches to large-N analysis. Hypergeometric functions of huge (random) matrices Jonathan Novak (UC San Diego) Hypergeometric functions of matrix arguments are multivariate generalizations of classical hypergeometric functions, and approximating hypergeometric functions of huge matrices is one of the most exciting open problems in high-dimensional analysis. Over the course of the past decade, it has gradually become clear that hypergeometric functions of matrices are discrete analogues of random matrix partition functions. This analogy is clearest for complex matrices, where hypergeometric functions are discrete counterparts of the partition function of the Hermitian one-matrix model with an arbitrary potential, with Schur measure taking on the role of the Gaussian background. Once this is understood, a striking conjecture explicitly describing the asymptotics of all hypergeometric functions emerges. I will explain this conjecture, and outline recent progress towards its solution. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Seminar Alexandra Holzinger - Luiss
by Marta Leocata 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>) is pleased to announce the following seminar: Speaker: Alexandra Holzinger, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford Title: Fluctuations around the mean-field limit for attractive Riesz interaction kernels in the moderate regime When: April 3, 14:30 Where: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome Meeting room: 405 Abstract: In this talk I will give a short introduction to moderately interacting particle systems and the general notion of fluctuations around the mean-field limit. We will see how a central limit theorem can be shown for moderately interacting particles on the whole space for certain types of interaction potentials. The interaction potential approximates singular attractive potentials of sub-Coulomb type and we can show that the fluctuations become asymptotically Gaussians. The methodology is inspired by the classical work of Oelschläger in the 1980s on fluctuations for the porous-medium equation. To allow for attractive potentials we use a new approach of quantitative mean-field convergence in probability in order to include aggregation effects. Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail. Best wishes, Marta Leocata

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Sergios AGAPIOU (University of Cyprus)
by Matteo Giordano 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 04/04/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Sergios AGAPIOU (University of Cyprus) Title: HEAVY-TAILED BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRIC ADAPTATION OVER BESOV SPACES Abstract: We will consider the Bayesian recovery of an unknown function from direct observations polluted by white Gaussian noise, and we will be interested in studying the asymptotic performance of the posterior in the infinitely informative data limit, in terms of rates of contraction. We will be especially interested in priors which are adaptive to the smoothness of the unknown function. In the past decade, certain hierarchical and empirical Bayes procedures based on Gaussian process priors, have been shown to achieve adaptation to spatially homogenous smoothness. However, we have recently shown that Gaussian priors are suboptimal for spatially inhomogeneous unknowns, that is, functions which are smooth in some areas and rough or even discontinuous in other areas of their domain. Such unknowns are abundant in applications such as imaging, and can be modeled using Besov spaces, which generalize (the more widely known) Sobolev and Hölder spaces. In contrast to Gaussian priors, we have shown that (similar) hierarchical and empirical Bayes procedures based on Laplace (series) priors, achieve adaptation to both homogeneously and inhomogeneously smooth functions. All of these procedures involve the tuning of a hyperparameter of the Gaussian or Laplace prior. We will introduce Besov spaces and will recall their minimax theory developed in the mid-late 90’s and has various interesting features. After reviewing the above Bayesian results, we will present a new strategy for adaptation to smoothness based on heavy-tailed priors. Specifically, we will show that adaptive rates of contraction in the minimax sense (up to logarithmic factors) are achieved without tuning of any hyperparameters. This adaptation is achieved for both homogeneously and inhomogeneously smooth unknowns, in particular, we will show that the studied heavy-tailed priors are adaptive over all Besov spaces and for all L^p-losses, for p from 1 up to infinity. Extensive numerical simulations corroborating the theory will be presented as well. This is joint work with Masoumeh Dashti, Tapio Helin, Aimilia Savva and Sven Wang (Laplace priors), and Ismaël Castillo and Paul Egels (heavy-tailed priors) ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 02/04/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> .
