*The Hopfield model and the quest for lost memories*
*The Hopfield network is a paradigmatic model for both biological neural
networks (where it mimics associative memory) and artificial neural
networks (where it is used for retrieval tasks). Since its introduction in
the 1980s, it has been extensively studied by mathematicians and physicists
alike, and its profound impact was recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in
Physics awarded to John J. Hopfield. In the first part of this talk, I will
review its key properties from a mathematical standpoint, focusing on
foundational aspects such as the proof of the existence of the
thermodynamic limit for the model’s free energy. In the second part, I will
explore several extensions and variations of the *model that address
contemporary challenges, including AI sustainability and the issue of model
collapse.
A presto!
Roberta, per tutti gli organizzatori (Roberta, Sergio, Livia, Alfonso)

The position is for up to two years, and the application deadline is 15 December. Applications from promising early-career researchers with an interest in probability or statistical mechanics are warmly encouraged.

Il giorno 10 novembre 2025, alle ore 15:00, in SP1L, del Dipartimento di
Matematica e Applicazioni R. Caccioppoli, il Prof. Kei Kobayashi,
Department of Mathematics, Fordham University, terrà il seguente
seminario:
"Effect of random time changes on Loewner hulls"
Abstract: Standard Brownian motion composed with a random time change
given by an inverse subordinator has been used to model subdiffusions,
where particles spread more slowly than the classical Brownian
particles. The time-changed Brownian motion is neither Markovian nor
Gaussian, and standard procedures known for normal diffusions do not
generally work. This talk gives an overview of the framework of
numerical approximation schemes for the time-changed Brownian motion and
its associated stochastic differential equations, along with the rates of
convergence. This is based on joint work with Sixian Jin and Ernest Jum.

Dear all,
Join us for our upcoming talk in the STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/projects/storm/events/seminars/…> series Tuesday, November 11th, from 13:00 to 14:00 (Oslo time).
As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/62796699609>.
The speaker is Paul Ehling (BI Norwegian Business School) with the talk:
Title: Asset pricing implications of default
Abstract: Studying the asset pricing implications of default, we show that default along the equilibrium path reduces the amount of risk-sharing for two reasons. First, the potential of future default events for relatively poor agents increases their cost of borrowing today. Second, the option value of default in the future induces increased borrowing today, even for relatively rich agents. We establish that agents borrow from each other simultaneously in equilibrium and that they borrow more when idiosyncratic risk is high. Further, we show that this increases the probability of default along the equilibrium path which drives up the premium on risky assets. To solve our dynamic model example with multiple agents numerically, we rely on a machine learning framework to overcome the large state space and the non-linearities due to default.
We are looking forward to seeing you!

RELATORI: Lucas Benigni (Università di Montreal) e Giorgio
Cipolloni (Università di Roma 2 Tor Vergata)
TITOLO: The mystery of universality in Random Matrix Theory.
RIASSUNTO: Over the past fifteen years, our understanding of universality
in random matrix theory has undergone a remarkable transformation. For many
models of large random matrices, it is now known that both eigenvalue
statistics and eigenvector structures exhibit universal behavior that
depends only on the symmetry class and not on the fine details of the
matrix entries. This universality lies at the heart of deep conjectures in
mathematical physics—connecting topics as diverse as quantum chaos, number
theory, and high-dimensional statistics—and has become one of the major
success stories of modern probability theory.
In this two-part colloquium, we will survey these advances with a focus on
Wigner matrices, Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with i.i.d. entries
up to the symmetry constraint. The first part will discuss universality of
eigenvalues, from local spectral laws to modern proofs of universality of
local statistics. The second part will turn to eigenvectors, highlighting
recent progress on delocalization, quantum ergodicity, and eigenvector
statistics.
