Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Maximilian Nitzschner (NYU Courant Institute)
by alessandra bianchi 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on July 15 at 14.30. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Maximilian Nitzschner (NYU Courant Institute) Title: Phase transition for level-set percolation of the membrane model Date and time: Friday, JULY 15 - 14.30 Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/85663140963 (meeting ID 856 6314 0963), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We consider level-set percolation for the Gaussian membrane model on the integer lattice in dimensions five and higher, and establish that as h varies, a non-trivial percolation phase transition for the level-set above level h occurs at some finite critical level, which is positive in high dimensions. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of a strongly subcritical phase, in which we provide bounds for the connectivity function of the level-set above h, and a strongly supercritical phase, in which we characterize the geometry of the level-set above level h. As a pivotal tool, we present novel (conditional) decoupling inequalities for the membrane model, which are instrumental in the study of both the subcritical and supercritical phases of its level-sets. This talk is based on joint work with Alberto Chiarini. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Seminar in Pisa: Jacob Bedrossian
by Francesco Grotto 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Dear Colleagues, the Probability research group of Pisa would like to invite you to the following seminar by Jacob Bedrossian (University of Maryland) to be held Wednesday, July 13th, in Aula Bianchi, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The seminar will take place in full presence (speaker included), but it will be streamed via Google Meets, link below. People attending on site are kindly asked to communicate it by email at classi(a)sns.it a few hours before the seminar. Best, F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: *Aula Bianchi*, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: July 13th 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Jacob Bedrossian (University of Maryland) Title: Positive Lyapunov exponents for 2d Galerkin-Navier-Stokes with stochastic forcing Abstract: In this talk we discuss our recent results obtaining strictly positive lower bounds on the top Lyapunov exponent of stochastic differential equations such as the weakly-damped Lorenz-96 model or Galerkin truncations of the 2d Navier-Stokes equations (joint with Alex Blumenthal and Sam Punshon-Smith). This hallmark of chaos has long been observed in these models, however, no mathematical proof had previously been made for any type of deterministic or stochastic forcing. We propose a new method, based on the Fisher information of an associated Markov process on the sphere bundle and uniform hypoelliptic regularity estimates, which has the ability to obtain quantitative estimates on the top Lyapunov exponents of high-dimensional, weakly dissipative SDEs.

Dear all, our next and last One World ABC seminar <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> of the season is quickly approaching. On Thursday June 23, at 1.30pm UK time, Cosma Shalizi<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stat.…> will talk about "Matching Random Features", with an abstract reported below. The Zoom link to join the talk is https://bristol-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/99993089580?pwd=NUtzT0VLdGNvb0tJMFRNMXl6SlN…<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbristol-a…> Password: 486380 We are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, best wishes, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Seminar Organisers Speaker: Cosma Shalizi<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stat.…>, Carnegie Mellon University Title: Matching Random Features Abstract: We can do statistical inference on simulation models by adjusting the parameters in the simulation so that the values of randomly chosen functions of the simulation output match the values of those same functions calculated on the data. Results from the ”statespace reconstruction” or “geometry from a time series” literature in nonlinear dynamics indicate that just 2d + 1 such functions will typically suffice to identify a model with a d-dimensional parameter space. Results from the “random features” literature in machine learning suggest that using random functions of the data can be an efficient replacement for using optimal functions. In this talk, I sketch some of the key results, present numerical evidence about the new method’s properties, and lay out an agenda for research. Reference: C. Shalizi.

20 Jun '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Leonardo Maini (Université du Luxembourg) to be held Wednesday, June 22nd, in Aula Contini, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The seminar will take place in full presence (speaker included), but it will be streamed via Google Meets, link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: *Aula Contini*, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: June 22nd 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Leonardo Maini (Université du Luxembourg) Title: Spectral central limit theorem for additive functionals of Gaussian fields Abstract: We consider a centered, continuous, stationary, Gaussian field on the Euclidean space and a sequence of non-linear additive functionals of the field. Since the pioneering works from the 80s by Breuer, Dobrushin, Major, Rosenblatt, Taqqu and others, central and non-central limit theorems for this kind of functionals have never ceased to be refined. The common intuition is that the limit is Gaussian when we have short-memory and non-Gaussian when we have long-memory and the Hermite rank R is different from 1. Our goal is to show that this can be a misleading intuition. To do that, we introduce a spectral central limit theorem, which highlights a variety of situations where the limit is Gaussian in a long-memory context with R different from 1. Our main mathematical tools are the Malliavin-Stein method and Fourier analysis. The talk is based on a joint work with Ivan Nourdin (University of Luxembourg).
