Seminar by Dr. Andrea Modena.
by Giorgio Rizzini 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Dear all, as part of the Quantitative Finance Seminars, Dr. Andrea Modena (University of Mannheim) will give a seminar entitled "Coordinating Dividends and Capital Regulation" (joint work with Luca Regis and Salvatore Federico) on November 11th at 11 am in Aula Fermi at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa.The seminar can also be followed online by sending an email to giorgio.rizzini(a)sns.it. Best regards, Giorgio Rizzini *Abstract: * We develop a tractable dynamic corporate finance model to analyze the effects of state-contingent dividend restrictions and capital requirements on firm optimal policies and value. In the model, a risk-neutral shareholder manages a firm that generates stochastic income under time-varying macroeconomic conditions. The manager maximizes shareholder value by paying dividends, holding reserves, and issuing costly equity without agency conflicts. We analytically solve the firm's stochastic control problem and derive its reserve distribution in closed form. The model predicts that restricting dividends in "bad" macroeconomic states—characterized by lower and more volatile cash flows— reduces shareholder value but can effectively sustain the firm's credit capacity. The policy, however, curtails the firm's recapitalization incentives and credit capacity in "good" states. Coordinating dividends with counter-cyclical capital regulation can mitigate value losses but negatively impacts recapitalization incentives further.

Seminario PRISMA oggi
by Francesco Caravenna 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, martedì 5 novembre 2024, Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz) ci parleranno di Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz) TITOLO: Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni RIASSUNTO: Il moto browniano ramificato (branching Brownian motion - BBM) in ambito euclideo è stato studiato intensamente durante molti decenni da studiosi rinomati. Il BBM sul disco (ossia semipiano) iperbolico ha ricevuto molta meno attenzione. Un lavoro profondo di Lalley and Sellke (1997) ha messo in luce la fase ricorrente, risp. transitoria del BBM sul disco di Poincaré. In particolare, Lalley e Sellke hanno determinato la dimensione di Hausdorff dell'insieme limite sulla frontiera (il cerchio unitario) in funzione del tasso di ramificazione delle particelle. Nel primo dei due seminari viene introdotta la geometria del disco iperbolico con la metrica di Poincaré e del modello equivalente del semipiano superiore. Si presenta il Laplaciano iperbolico, cioè l'operatore di Laplace-Beltrami associato a questa superficie. Esso è l'operatore infinitesimale del moto browniano iperbolico. Si presentano alcune proprietà chiave di questo processo. Nel secondo seminario si introduce il moto browniano ramificato iperbolico. Vengono presentati alcuni nuovi risultati. In particolare, si forniscono i tassi della massima e minima distanza iperbolica della popolazione al tempo t dal punto di partenza e delle stime asintotiche più precise nella fase transitoria. L'altro tema principale riguarda il comportamento delle distribuzioni empiriche della popolazione ramificante e la loro convergenza a una distribuzione limite aleatoria sulla frontiera di supporto infinito. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario Pablo Groisman, Lunedì 11 Novembre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Lunedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Lunedì 11 Novembre, ore 14:00,* Aula B, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Pablo Groisman (University of Buenos Aires) *Title: *The Kuramoto Model in Random Geometric Graphs *Abstract: *The Kuramoto model is a nonlinear system of ODEs that represents the behavior of coupled oscillators. The coupling is determined by a given graph and pushes the system towards synchronization. An important question is whether there is global synchronization (the system converges to a state in which all the phases coincide from almost every initial condition) or if the system supports other patterns. We will consider the Kuramoto model on random geometric graphs in the d dimensional torus and prove a scaling limit. The limiting object is given by the heat equation. On the one hand this shows that the nonlinearities of the system disappear under this scaling and on the other hand, provides evidence that stable equilibria of the Kuramoto model on these graphs are, as n → ∞, in correspondence with those of the heat equation, which are explicit and given by twisted states. In view of this, we conjecture the existence of twisted stable equilibria with high probability as n → ∞. We'll prove this conjecture in dimension d=1. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminario di Stanislav Smirnov (medaglia Fields 2010) a Roma Tre
by Elisabetta Candellero 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Stanislav Smirnov (medaglia Fields 2010) terra' un seminario dal titolo "Coulomb gas and lattice models" il giorno mercoledi' 6 novembre, ore 16:00. Il seminario si terra' in Aula M1, Blocco Aule Lungotevere Dante 376 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Abstract: Even before the introduction of Conformal Field Theory by Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov, it appeared indirectly in the work of den Nijs and Nienhuis using Coulomb gas techniques. The latter postulate (unrigorously) that height functions of lattice models converge to the Gaussian Free Field, allowing to derive many exponents and dimensions of 2D lattice models. This convergence is in many ways mysterious, in particular it was never formulated in the presence of a boundary, but rather on a torus or a cylinder. We will discuss possible formulations on general domains or Riemann surfaces and their relations to CFT, SLE and conformal invariance of critical lattice models. Interestingly, new objects in complex geometry and potential theory seem to arise.

Seminario di probabilita' (Roma Tre), 6/11/2024, Amitai Linker (Santiago del Cile)
by Elisabetta Candellero 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

*Data e orario*: Mercoledi' 6 novembre alle ore 14:30 Via della Vasca Navale 84, Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Universita' degli Studi roma Tre, AULA B *Relatore*: Amitai Linker (Universidad Andrés Bello, Santiago, Cile) *Titolo*: "The contact process on dynamic scale-free networks" *Abstract*: In this talk, I will present recent results on the contact process on two specific types of scale-free, inhomogeneous random networks that evolve either through edge resampling or by resampling entire neighborhoods of vertices. Depending on the type of graph, the selected stationary dynamic, the tail exponent of the degree distribution, and the updating rate, we identify parameter regimes that result in either fast or slow extinction. In the latter case, we determine metastable exponents that exhibit first-order phase transitions. This is joint work with Emmanuel Jacob (ENS Lyon) and Peter Mörters (Universität zu Köln).
