14 Feb '23

Buongiorno, si trasmette il link per seguire il seminario di Luisa Andreis (Politecnico di Milano) tramite Zoom: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84073069369 Martedì 14 Febbraio, ore 14:00 Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Title: *Rare events in sparse random graphs *Abstract:* Rare events for dense random graphs are well described using the theory of large deviations and graphons. When graphs are sparse the picture is less clear, objects that describe globally the graphs and their limits, as graphons do for dense graphs, have not been defined yet. Nevertheless we do have information on how these graphs look like when explored locally from a vertex and this, under some assumptions, gives also information on global properties. In this talk we will give an overview on what is known on rare events in this regime, focusing in particular on large deviation statements on connected components in inhomogeneous random graphs and on links with coagulation processes. This talk is based on joint works with Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer, Heide Langhammer, Elena Magnanini and Robert Patterson (WIAS).

by Elisa Varini 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

Dear all, we are glad to inform you that it is now possible to pay the registration fee (by bank transfer or credit card) for the Applied Bayesian Statistics ABS23 which will be held in Firenze (Italy) on June, 12-16, 2023. Website: http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs23/ The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), this year in cooperation with the Florence Center for Data Science and the Department of Statistics, Computer Science and Applications at the University of Firenze. The topic will be BAYESIAN CAUSAL INFERENCE. The lecturer will be FAN LI (Duke University, https://scholars.duke.edu/person/fli) with the support by researchers at the University of Firenze. The University of Firenze can issue a certificate stating that the course is worth 3 ECTS credits. Interested students can write to abs23(a)mi.imati.cnr.it Once you register on the school website: http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs23/ you will receive an email with the link to pay by credit card as well as the information on payment by bank transfer (please note that the early registration fee is available until April, 15th, 2023). Please note that only a very limited number of seats is still available and that Firenze is a very popular tourist place, so that it is better to make arrangements as soon as possible. More details about accommodation are available in the ABS23 website. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and the state-of-the-art methods for causal inference under the potential outcomes framework, with an emphasis on the Bayesian inferential paradigm. Topics will cover randomized experiments, common methods for observational studies, such as propensity score, matching, weighting and doubly-robust estimation, heterogeneous treatment effects, sensitivity analysis, instrumental variables, principal stratification, panel data methods, and longitudinal treatments. Recent advances related to high dimensional analysis and machine learning will be naturally incorporated into the discussion. All methods will be illustrated via real world case studies. We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Firenze next year. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS23

SPASS Seminar: Lihan Wang
by Francesco Grotto 08 Feb '23

08 Feb '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: Accelerate Sampling Using Birth-Death Dynamics Lihan Wang (Carnigie-Mellon University, Max Planck Institute Leipzig) The seminar will take place on TUE, 14.2.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa 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, I will discuss the birth-death dynamics for sampling multimodal probability distributions, which is the spherical Hellinger gradient flow of relative entropy. The advantage of the birth-death dynamics is that, unlike any local dynamics such as Langevin dynamics, it allows global movement of mass directly from one mode to another, without the difficulty of going through low probability regions. We prove that the birth death dynamics converges to the unique invariant measure with a uniform rate under some mild conditions, showing its potential of overcoming metastability. We will also show that on torus, the kernelized dynamics, which is used for numerical simulation, Gamma-converges to the idealized dynamics as the kernel bandwidth shrinks to zero. Joint work with Yulong Lu (UMass Amherst) and Dejan Slepcev (CMU).

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. Nikolai Leonenko School of Mathematics, Cardiff University, UK TITOLO Multiscaling, Intermittency and large deviation in limit theorems for superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes Abstract Superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type (supOU) processes provide a rich class of stationary stochastic processes for which the marginal distribution and the dependence structure may be modeled independently [1,2]. We investigate the limiting behavior of integrated supOU processes with finite variance[3,4,6] (see also [7] for multifaced behaviour of supOU processes in the case the infinite variance). We show that after suitable normalization four different limiting processes may arise. The type of limit depends on the decay of the correlation function as well as on the characteristic triplet of the marginal distribution. supOU processes, moreover, may exhibit intermittency, a phenomenon affecting the rate of growth of moments[3,4,5,6,8]. The intermittency phenomenon appears also in some other models, for example, in the subclass of ambit processes[2] known as trawl processes [5]. Joint work with D.

The One World Probability Seminar is back! This Semester it will take place every other Wednesday form 15:00 to 17:00 UTC. You can find more information on the web site: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 15th of February from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC. Our next speakers are: Frank den Hollander (Leiden) and Elena Pulvirenti (Delft) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Frank den Hollander (Leiden) and Elena Pulvirenti (Delft) Talk 1 : Metastability for the Widom-Rowlinson model: I. Planar discs. Abstract We define the static Widom-Rowlinson model on a two-dimensional finite torus. The energy of a particle configuration is determined by its halo, defined as the union of unit discs centred at the positions of the particles. We discuss the metastable behaviour of a dynamic version of the model, in which particles are randomly created and annihilated as if the outside of the torus were an infinite reservoir with a given chemical potential. We start with the empty torus and are interested in the first time when the torus is fully covered by unit discs. This can be viewed as the crossover time from a ‘gas phase’ to a ‘liquid phase’. We consider the metastable regime where the temperature is low and the chemical potential is supercritical. In order to achieve the transition from empty to full, the system needs to create a sufficiently large droplet, called critical droplet, which triggers the crossover. It turns out that the critical droplet is close to a disc of a certain deterministic radius, with a boundary that is random and consists of a large number of unit discs that stick out by a small distance. We show how an analysis of the surface fluctuations allows us to derive both a volume term and a surface term in the asymptotics of the average crossover time. Based on joint work with Sabine Jansen (Munich) and Roman Kotecký (Prague). Talk 2 : Metastability for the Widom-Rowlinson model: II. Grains of general shape. Abstract We investigate what happens when the planar discs are replaced by convex grains in arbitrary dimensions whose shape may be random. We identify the size and the shape of the critical droplet as a function of the shape distribution for the grains. We also identify the volume term in the asymptotics of the average crossover time. In addition, we speculate about the surface term, formulating a conjecture about what it should look like. There are various interesting subcases, showing that the shape of the grains has a rather delicate influence on the critical droplet and the average crossover time. Based on joint work with Yogesh Dhandapani (Bangalore) and Roman Kotecký (Prague).

Annuncio Seminario Sapienza - 9 Febbraio ore 16:00
by Lorenzo Taggi 05 Feb '23

05 Feb '23

Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma, Sala di Consiglio Giovedì 9 Febbraio 2023, ore 16:00 *Speaker:* Daniel Ueltschi, University of Warwick *Title*: Quantum spin chains, loop representations, dimerisation *Abstract:* In contrast to their classical counterparts, one-dimensional quantum spin systems are interesting, they have intriguing behaviour, and they are difficult to study. I will describe a family of systems with nearest-neighbour interactions and O(n) symmetry. Its ground state phase diagram is expected to have a rich structure. For large spins it is possible to prove the occurrence of dimerisation in an open domain. The proof involves a loop representation and the method of cluster expansions. This is joint work with Jakob Bjornberg, Peter Muhlbacher, and Bruno Nachtergaele.

Dear Colleagues, we would be grateful if you could advertise the following summer school to the junior members of your research groups: Summer School on Probability and geometry on configuration spaces <https://www.wias-berlin.de/workshops/SPP2265_SummerSchool23/>, to be held at the Harnack-Haus <https://www.harnackhaus-berlin.mpg.de/en> in Berlin from July 17 to 21, 2023. The school will focus on configuration spaces, seen through the different lenses of analysis, geometry, and probability. Aim of the school is to bring together different communities in the theory of point processes, configuration-space analysis, and particle systems. It will consist of four mini courses by - Ronan Herry (Centre Henri Lebesgue, Rennes) - Benedikt Jahnel (TU Braunschweig, WIAS Berlin) - Alessia Nota (University of L'Aquila, to be confirmed) - Elena Pulvirenti (TU Delft). A number of talks given by young scientists will provide further insight into cutting-edge research related to the main topic. Registration is free but mandatory, and funding is available for the accommodation of young participants. Registration deadline: April 15, 2023.

Seminar: Giovanni Conforti at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 1st, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Giovanni Conforti (École Polytechnique) with the seminar "A probabilistic approach to exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm" Abstract: The entropic optimal transport problem (EOT) is obtained adding an entropic regularisation term in the cost function of the Monge-Kantorovich problem and is nowadays regularly employed in machine learning applications as a more tractable and numerically more stable version of the optimal transport problem. On the other hand, E.Schrödinger asked back in 1931 the question of finding the most likely evolution of a cloud of independent Brownian particles conditionally to observations. The mathematical formulation of his question through large deviations theory is known as the Schrödinger problem and turns out to be fully equivalent to EOT. In this talk, I shall illustrate both viewpoints and then move on to sketch the ideas of a probabilistic method to show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm, whose application the heart of the recent successful applications of EOT in statistical machine learning and beyond. In particular, we shall discuss how the proposed method opens new perspective for showing exponential convergence for marginal distribution that are non compactly supported. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the event on Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project Math@TOV.
