Seminario di Daniel Parisi - 4 dicembre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Giacomo Di Gesu 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, segnalo il seguente seminario: *Lunedì 4 dicembre, ore 17:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Daniel Parisi, Sapienza Università di Roma *Title:* Entropy and mixing time of non-local Markov chains. *Abstract:* We discuss the convergence to the stationary distribution for non-local Markov chains on general spin systems on arbitrary graphs. We show that the relative entropy functional of the corresponding Gibbs measure satisfies the block factorization of entropy, an inequality that controls the entropy on a given region V in terms of a weighted sum of the entropies on blocks A ⊂ V when each A is given an arbitrary nonnegative weight α_A. This inequality generalizes the approximate tensorization of entropy and provides a natural extension of the classical Shearer inequality satisfied by the Shannon entropy. As a consequence of block factorization, we obtain optimal bounds on the mixing time of a large class of sampling algorithms for the ferromagnetic Ising/Potts models, including non-local Markov chains such as the heat-bath block dynamics and the Swendsen-Wang dynamics. The methods also apply to spin systems with hard constraints such as q-colorings and the hard-core gas model. First, we consider spin systems on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d satisfying strong spatial mixing. Then we extend our analysis to spin systems on an arbitrary graph satisfying spectral independence. Finally, we show that the existence of a contractive coupling for any local Markov chain implies spectral independence. saluti, Giacomo Di Gesù

One world probability seminar this Thursday
by Ilya Chevyrev 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be this Thursday (November 30) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*.The speakers of this session are Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza) and James Norris (University of Cambridge). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden growth or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will introduce the ALE models, which include Hastings-Levitov models as particular cases, and discuss their large scale behaviour. Based on joint work with James Norris (Cambridge, UK) and Amanda Turner (Leeds, UK). Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza). Title: Analysis of stochastic evolutions in infinite dimensions: application to stability of the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: Martingales play a important role in the analysis of stochastic processes, in particular in demonstrating laws of large numbers and central limit behaviour. Motivated by the Aggregate Loewner Evolution models discussed in the preceding talk, I will discuss an interplay between martingale inequalities and Lp-multiplier estimates which allows to extend the use of martingales in an infinite-dimensional setting. (This is joint work with Vittoria Silvestri (Rome, La Sapienza) and Amanda Turner (Leeds).) Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): James Norris (University of Cambridge).

SPASS Seminar: Lucie Laurence
by Andrea Agazzi 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Scaling methods for stochastic chemical reaction networks * by Lucie Laurence (INRIA Paris) The seminar will take place on TUE, 28.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk we investigate stochastic chemical reaction networks (CRNs) with scaling methods. This approach is used to study the stability properties of the associated Markov processes, but also to investigate the transient behavior of the sample paths. It also gives insight on the impact of specific features of these networks such as their polynomial reaction rates, leading to the coexistence of multiple timescales. Some examples of CRNs are discussed to illustrate the multiple timescales involved in the decay of the norm of the state when the CRN starts from a “large” initial state. A detailed scaling analysis of an interesting CRN exhibiting a slow decrease of the norm of the state is presented.*

Courses: - Adaptivity in High-Dimensional Statistical Learning (Francis Bach) - Numerics of High-Dimensional PDEs (Markus Bachmayr) - High-Dimensional Approximation in Machine Learning (Gitta Kutyniok) - High-Dimensional Integration (Dirk Nuyens) - Compressive Sensing (Holger Rauhut) The application deadline is May 15, 2024. There are no registration fees. Moreover, PhD students and junior postdocs may request for a CIME grant to cover local accommodation costs. Further information can be found at https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~speleers/cime2024/ We look forward to welcoming you in Cetraro in September, 2024. The course directors: Albert Cohen Domenico Marinucci Hendrik Speleers

Fwd: Seminario Padova - Dario Trevisan

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (24 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 1BC50 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: *Dario Trevisan* (Università di Pisa) *Title*: On the Concave One-Dimensional Random Assignment Problem: Kantorovich Meets Young *Date*: November 24, 2023 at 14:30, room 1BC50, Torre Archimede, Padova *Abstract*: We consider the assignment (or bipartite matching) problem between n source points and n target points on the real line, where the assignment cost is a concave power of the distance, |x-y|^p, for 0<p<1. It is known that, differently from the convex case (p>1) where the solution is rigid, i.e. it does not depend on p, in the concave case it may varies with p and exhibit interesting long-range connections, making it more appropriate to model realistic situations, e.g. in economics and biology. In the random version of the problem, the points are samples of i.i.d. random variables, and one is interested in typical properties as the sample size n grows. Barthe and Bordenave in 2013 proved asymptotic upper and lower bounds in the range 0<p<1/2, which they conjectured to be sharp. Bobkov and Ledoux, in 2020, using optimal transport and Fourier-analytic tools, determined explicit upper bounds for the average assignment cost in the full range 0<p<1, naturally yielding to the conjecture that a "phase transition" occurs at p=1/2. We settle affirmatively both conjectures. The novel mathematical tool that we develop, and may be of independent interest, is a formulation of Kantorovich problem based on Young integration theory, where the difference between two measures is replaced by the weak derivative of a function with finite q-variation. Joint work with M. Goldman (arXiv:2305.09234). Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin
