Announcement: Quantum Computing for Finance – Course by Prof. Jacquier - 04.12-07.12.2023
by Viktoria Schildhammer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to announce the following course: “Quantum Computing for Finance” held by Professor Antoine Jacquier taking place at the University of Vienna, at the department for Statistics and Operations Research at Kolingasse 14-16, 1090 (https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/quantum-computing-finance/) The course will take place from Monday, 04.12.2023, until Thursday, 07.12.2023. It is aimed at PhD students and researchers who want to get acquainted with quantum computing and its potential applications in the finance . Please find the preliminary program for the course here: https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/quantum-computing-finance/programm/. The abstract of the course and a short bio of Antoine Jacquier can be found below and on the website. Attending the course is for free, but please register via email to <viktoria.schildhammer(a)univie.ac.at>. The registration deadline is the 30.11.2023. This is the last day where registrations will be accepted. Please also mention in your registration email your full name and affiliation! In case of problems / questions, please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail! We are looking very much forward to welcoming you at the course! Kind regards, Prof. Christa Cuchiero and Viktoria Schildhammer ------------------------------- Abstract: Quantum Computing, relegated for decades as a spooky distant myth, is now becoming a reality. To wit, quantum computers (albeit small in scale) are already available, developed by the likes of IBM, Rigetti, D-Wave, Google, Microsoft, ..... However, a quantum computer is not simply a bigger and more powerful computer, and requires a whole new set of algorithms to be written to perform useful tasks. These, and the underlying technology, draw from the laws of quantum mechanics, fundamentally different from our usual numerical toolbox. The goal of this course is to provide a mathematical introduction to Quantum Computing and to highlight applications in Quantitative Finance, in particular for Monte Carlo simulations, machine learning and optimisation. Numerical examples (through python) will also be introduced to provide a tangible reality. Bio: Antoine Jacquier is Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. His research interests range from Probability Theory and Stochastic Analysis to Numerical Analysis and Quantum Computing, with a view towards applications in Mathematical Finance. For more details on his research or his published papers, please visit his homepage: https://jackantoinejacquie.wixsite.com/jacquier.

Please forward this message to potential candidates. Best wishes, Giorgio Ferrari %%%%%%%%%%%% * * *Postdoctoral Position for Three Years in Economics, Finance, or Related Fields* *Advertiser:* Center of Mathematical Economics (IMW), Bielefeld University *Field(s) of specialization: *Finance - Microeconomics - Theory - Behavioral Economics - Computational Economics - Decision Sciences - Insurance *Position type(s):* Postdoctoral Scholar *Location of job: *Universitätsstraße 25, Bielefeld, NRW, 33615, Germany (map <https://econjobmarket.org/mapPosition/10289>) *Degree required:* Doctorate *Job start date:* 2024-04-01 *Job duration:* 3 years *Letters of reference required:* 2 *Target date for applications:* 4 Dec 2023 *Application deadline:* 7 Dec 2023 midnight UTC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time> (accepting applications) *Posting end date:* 30 Dec 2023 *Interviews:* Interviews will be conducted remotely by video starting December, 2023. *Ad text:* The Center for Mathematical Economics at Bielefeld University offers a three-year postdoctoral position. The position is allocated to the newly established Research Training Group 'Coping with Uncertainty in Dynamic Economies' (CUDE), which is concerned with a new subfield in economic theory that merges two features central to current and future economies: uncertainty and dynamics. Here, uncertainty is understood in the sense of Frank Knight, in that decision makers struggle to assign reliable estimates of probabilities to future events. This Knightian uncertainty is widely believed to capture our world's mega trends such as climate change, energy crisis, migration, pandemics, and technological development. Its analysis has been a central research topic in decision theory for the last two decades, and increasingly in microeconomic theory more generally, currently being explored at research centers around the world. As main innovation of our program, we seek to explore the implications of uncertainty in dynamic economies, which is vastly understudied at present but critical to answer the economic questions raised by the aforementioned mega trends. For more information, you can visit the Website: https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/zwe/imw/cude/ The position is available as soon as April 1 2024, yet later starts are also possible.

SPASS Seminar: Michele Stecconi
by Andrea Agazzi 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Sobolev-Malliavin regularity of the nodal volume* by Michele Stecconi (University of Luxemburg) The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.11.2023 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: *Consider the nodal volume of a non-degenerate (in a sense to specify) Gaussian random field defined on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension d greater or equal to 2. We prove that the law of such random variable has an absolutely continuous component, as a direct consequence of its Fréchet differentiability. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for the derivative (the mean curvature). The non-singularity of the law had already been established by Angst and Poly for stationary fields on the d-torus, in dimension d>2, via Malliavin calculus. In this work the two dimensional case remained open, in particular, the Malliavin differentiability of the nodal length was unknown. We prove that the nodal volume admits a L2 Malliavin derivative, for d>2 and that in the case d=2, this is false, but the Malliavin derivative still exists in L1. A fundamental ingredient is to understand the Sobolev regularity of the function f(t) that expresses the volume of the level t of a “typical” Morse function. (A joint work with Giovanni Peccati.)

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Novembre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Sven Wang (Humboldt University Berlin, Germany) Title: *Statistical convergence rates for transport- and ODE-based generative models* Abstract: Measure transport provides a powerful toolbox for estimation and generative modelling of complicated probability distributions. The common principle is to learn a transport map which couples a tractable (e.g. uniform or normal) reference distribution to some complicated target distribution, e.g. by maximizing a likelihood objective. In this talk, we discuss recent advances in statistical convergence guarantees for such methods. While a general theory is developed, we will primarily treat (1) triangular maps which are the building blocks for ’autoregressive normalizing flows’ and (2) ODE-based maps, defined through an ODE flow. The latter encompasses NeuralODEs, a popular method for generative modeling. Our results imply that transport methods achieve minimax-optimal convergence rates for non-parametric density estimation over Hölder classes on the unit cube. Based on the papers arXiv:2207.10231 and arXiv:2309.01043, joint with Youssef Marzouk (MIT, United States), Robert Ren (MIT, United States) and Jakob Zech (U Heidelberg, Germany). ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84606225203?pwd=aFhFa2RKaWtVd2V6R2Rpc05hRGNodz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

[owps] One world probability seminar on Thursday 16 November
by Ilya Chevyrev 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (November 16) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC time. The speakers of this session are Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre) and Thomas Finn (Durham University). 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: Coexistence in competing first-passage percolation Abstract: Consider the following random competition model on a given graph G that is driven by two first-passage percolation processes FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda. Initially, FPP_1 occupies a single site and FPP_\lambda is dormant in seeds that are placed on the sites of G as a product of Bernoulli measures of parameter p. Then, FPP_1 spreads through the edges of G at rate 1 and FPP_\lambda spreads from seeds at rate \lambda when that seed is attempted to be occupied by either FPP_1 or FPP_\lambda. Once a site is occupied by either process it remains occupied by that process henceforth. This model is known as first-passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE) and was first introduced by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19. In the first talk, we establish that FPPHE is non-monotone in the sense that increasing p or \lambda may increase the probability that FPP_1 occupies infinitely many sites through constructing a quasi-transitive graph where such behaviour holds. The non-monotonicity of FPPHE makes understanding the phase transitions of the model extremely challenging. We prove that a regime of coexistence exists on hyperbolic and non-amenable vertex transitive graphs where both FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda concurrently occupy infinite connected components with positive probability. In the second talk, we prove that a regime of coexistence also holds on Z^d for d>2 through the introduction of a refined multi-scale analysis that can handle non-equilibrium and non-monotone processes. We relate this proof to recent work on multi-particle diffusion limited aggregation by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19 and the SIR model by Dauvergne and Sly ’22 where FPPHE is a crucial analytical tool in understanding non-equilibrium particle systems. Based on joint work with Alexandre Stauffer. Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre). Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Thomas Finn (Durham University).
