Dear all,
I re-post the announcement for your convenience. The seminar will be next
Tuesday, but at 2:30 pm in Room 307b.
Professor A. Cerny from Cass will be visiting LUISS and on
Tuesday April 4, at 2:30 pm in Room 307b -- viale Romania
he will give the following seminar:
OPTIMAL TRADE EXECUTION UNDER ENDOGENOUS PRESSURE TO LIQUIDATE: THEORY
AND NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS
We study optimal liquidation of a large trading position in a market
with a temporary price impact. We endogenize the pressure to liquidate
and hence allow the time horizon of liquidation to be determined
endogenously, as part of the optimal strategy. The corresponding HJB
equation leads to a severely singular initial value problem whose
numerical solution we also study. In contrast to much of the existing
literature spreading the liquidation strategy over a longer horizon is
not necessarily beneficial to the trader.

Cari colleghi,
vi scrivo perché mi sono trasferito da 6 mesi in Romania, a Cluj-Napoca al
RIST (www.rist.ro/en.html), un istituto privato no profit dove ho ottenuto
un grant di 4 anni co-finanziato dall'Europa, per implementare il progetto
di ricerca
DeepRiemann "Riemannian Optimization Methods for Deep Learning".
Ho diverse posizioni aperte per postdoc, e sto cercando giovani in gamba,
con background in matematica (geometria differenziale e ottimizzazione
Riemanniana), computer science, statistica, etc etc, per creare un gruppo
qui a Cluj che si occuperà di Machine Learning e Ottimizzazione
www.luigimalago.it/group.html
Gli argomenti del progetto includono:
*information geometry (differential geometry applied to statistical
manifolds)
*manifold optimization and second-order Riemannian optimization
*machine learning and deep learning (using Riemannian methods)
Vi chiederei gentilmente di inoltrare il messaggio a chi secondo voi
potrebbe essere interessato ad una delle posizione
Gli annunci sono disponibili alla seguente pagina:

grazie mille,
Luigi Malagò
I'm forwarding this annoucement for people eventually interested.
Kind Regards,
Carlo Sgarr*a*
This is the second announcement for the

Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica
Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo
Lunedì 3 aprile, ore 16:00
Mauro Piccioni (Università di Roma La Sapienza)
terrà una conferenza dal titolo:
How it happened (to me) to meet ?
Summary: The function ? was defined by Minkowski with the purpose of mapping quadratic irrationals bijectively onto the rationals of (0,1) (in addition, it maps the rationals onto the dyadic rationals). It has remarkable self-similarity properties and it maps (increasingly) the interval [0,1] into itself, with an almost everywhere vanishing derivative. For this reason it has been named the slippery devil’s staircase (to distinguish it from the Cantor set distribution function, which, not being strictly increasing, is not slippery!). In the talk we will obtain it as the equilibrium law of a random walk on the homogeneous space (H,PSL_2(Z)) where H is the upper half-plane in the complex plane and PSL_2(Z) is the modular group. The random walk walk drifts towards the real line with a limit in law X whose image under the function |x|v|x|^{-1} has distribution function ?. In proving this, the characterization of a ?-distributed random variable Y in term of its continued fraction expansion is also obtained. This is a joint work with Gerard Letac.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Per informazioni rivolgersi a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it

Dear all,
this is to invite you to the PhD course which will be given next
week by Costantinos
Kardaras (LSE) at the Mathematics Department of the University of Padova.
All the details follow:
*Title*: *Growth optimality and recent applications to probability*
*Timetable*:
- April 3rd, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30
- April 4th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30
- April 5th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30
- April 6th, 2017, 16:30 - 18:00 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30
- April 7th, 2017, 16:00 - 17:30 Torre Archimede, Room 2BC/30
*Course requirements*: Probability and Stochastic Calculus
*SSD*: MAT/06 and SECS-S/06
*Aim*: This course aims at providing an overview on recent developments in
the Mathematical Finance research field, having as a central idea in mind
the role of the growth optimal portfolio. Course contents: These lectures
will touch upon recent developments in the applied probability, and more
precisely mathematical finance. The vessel that is used to connect
different topics is that of growth optimality, a notion that has proved
extremely fruitful. A representative collection of what will be covered are
applications in arbitrage theory, constrained optimisation, filtration
enlargement, and semimartingale theory. Other areas of application, such as
economics, robust optimisation, and even functional analysis, will be also
discussed (if time permits).
Thanks and have a nice day,
Giorgia Callegaro
