(RE-OPENED) CALL FOR ABSTRACTS NETSCI2020 - SATELLITE CONFERENCE "STATISTICAL MECHANICS METHODS FOR NETWORKS” https://sites.google.com/view/smmn <https://sites.google.com/view/smmn> The NetSci 2020 conference has been confirmed in on-line mode and we would like to draw your attention to a satellite session which will take place before the main conference. Since there are some available spots for contributed talks, we invite interested applicants to submit one-page abstract, to be considered for the satellite session. The objective of the Satellite conference on "Statistical Mechanics Methods for Networks” is to bring together academics, young researchers and PhD students working in the area of statistical models of both static and dynamic networks. A particular focus is then given to the study of methods based on Statistical Mechanics of networks, which permit the learning of mechanisms driving the formation and the evolution of the networked systems. The Satellite will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss the novel results and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and relevant directions for future research. How: Submit your one page abstract through a form at https://sites.google.com/view/smmn/submission <https://sites.google.com/view/smmn/submission> Important dates: * Abstract/Paper submission deadline: 20.04.2020 14.07.2020 * Notification of acceptance: 27.04.2020 16-07-2020 - subject to change, depending on the final NetSci 2020 timeline Where: Online When: 17th September INVITED SPEAKERS: Rossana Mastrandrea (IMT Lucca) Andrey Lokhov (Los Alamos National Laboratory) TOPICS: - Graphs Ensembles - Network Reconstruction - Statistical Inference - Phase Transitions in Network Models - Percolation in Networks - Maximum Entropy for Networks - Statistically Validated Networks ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Piero Mazzarisi (Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa) Mateusz Wilinski (Uniwersytet Warszawski) PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Paolo Barucca (University College London) Agata Fronczak (Politechnika Warszawska) Fabrizio Lillo (Università di Bologna) Leto Peel (Université Catholique de Louvain) Tiago Peixoto (Central European University) Katarzyna Sznajd-Weron (Politechnika Wroclawska) Daniele Tantari (Università di Bologna)

Fwd: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday 2nd July 2020:

The case U(x)=x^2 is the well-studied lattice Gaussian free field, while one-dimensional random surfaces are equivalent to random walks. Our focus is on dimensions d>=2 and general U. Brascamp-Lieb-Lebowitz conjectured in 1975 that such random surfaces are localized in dimensions d>=3 under mild assumptions on U. Their work establishes the conjecture when U is uniformly convex (its second derivative is uniformly bounded from zero), as a consequence of the Brascamp-Lieb concentration inequality. To date, this remains the main case for which the conjecture is verified, with the result missing even when U(x) = x^4. We establish new concentration inequalities for log-concave distributions, extending the Brascamp-Lieb inequality, and use them to prove localization in many new cases, including the family U(x) = |x| ^p with p>1. Further consequences regard the maximum height for a class of random surfaces discussed by Deuschel-Giacomin (2000). The talk will be a gentle introduction to the model and the results. No prior knowledge of random surfaces or log-concave distributions will be assumed. Joint work with Alexander Magazinov. 15.00: UTC Omer Angel (Vancouver): Excited martingales Abstract: We consider a random walk that moves in the Z^2 that moves vertically on the first visit to each site and horizontally on subsequent visits. We give new lower bounds on the growth of the range of such walks.
