corso di dottorato di Vittoria Silvestri in Sapienza a partire dal 18/3
by Lorenzo Taggi 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

*Title: *Introduction to Random Geometry *Abstract:* This course wants to give an overview of active research topics in the field of Random Geometry, with a focus on growth models. We will start by discussing discrete growth models such as the Eden model, Diffusion Limited Aggregation and Internal DLA. We will then move to the continuum for the remaining part of the course. After discussing conformal invariance of Brownian motion, we will focus on the class of randomly growing domains on the complex plane which can be described via Loewner dynamics. We will introduce several random aggregation models on the complex plane, which go under the name of Hastings-Levitov models and Aggregate Loewner Evolutions, of which we will study the large-scale features, presenting existing results and several open questions. *Keywords:* Random growth models, Diffusion Limited Aggregation, Schramm-Loewner Evolutions, Hastings-Levitov, Aggregate Loewner Evolutions. *Prerequisites:* The course will be as self-contained as possible. However, basic notions of Probability and Analysis are necessary. Some knowledge of complex analysis, martingale theory and stochastic calculus is desirable but not required. *Duration:* 20 hours (10 lectures of 2 hours each) *Class schedule:* The lectures will take place in Room G, Dipartimento di Matematica G. Castelnuovo, 13:00-15:00 in the following dates: Monday 18/3 Wednesday 20/3 Friday 22/3 Monday 25/3 Wednesday 27/3 Tuesday 2/4 Wednesday 3/4 Monday 8/4 Wednesday 10/4 Friday 12/4

Politecnico di Milano - MOX Colloquia - Simon Wood - ore 14
by Laura Maria Sangalli 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Scusandomi per refuso in precedente comunicazione, desidero precisare per gli interessati che l’orario di inizio del seminario di Simon Wood di oggi pomeriggio è alle ore 14 precise. Si avvisa che in data 14-03-2024, alle ore **14:00** precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, in aula Consiglio (settimo piano Dipartimento di Matematica - edificio 14), si svolgerà il seguente seminario della serie MOX Colloquia Simon Wood, School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh Titolo: On Neighbourhood Cross Validation Abstract: Cross validation is a well known method for estimating hyperparameters in complex regression models. It comes in many varieties, but some of the more interesting flavours require multiple model fits with consequently high cost. This talk shows how the high cost can be side-stepped for a wide range of models estimated using a quadratically penalized smooth loss, with rather low approximation error. Once the computational cost has the same leading order as a single model fit, it becomes feasible to efficiently optimize the chosen cross-validation criterion with respect to multiple smoothing/precision parameters. Interesting applications include cross-validating smooth additive quantile regression models, and the use of leave-out-neighbourhood cross validation for dealing with nuisance short range autocorrelation. The link between cross validation and the jackknife can be exploited to obtain reasonably well calibrated uncertainty quantification in these case. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente link https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it

Seminario di C. Ulcigrai a Milano-Bicocca (21 mar 2024)
by Giampaolo Cristadoro 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Buongiorno, ho il piacere di annunciare che il 21 Marzo alle ore 14:30 in U5 RATIO - aula 3014 (Univ. Milano - Bicocca) si terrà il seguente Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano: Prof.ssa Corinna Ulcigrai (Institut für Mathematik - Universität Zürich) "Periodic surfaces and deterministic random walks: dynamics between geometry and probability" Abstract: Many deterministic systems display chaotic features: the stronger the chaotic features, the better the system can be approximated by a probabilistic model, an idea that can be traced back to Boltzmann and explains the success of the branch of dynamical systems known as ergodic theory. In this talk, we will discuss systems that display only 'mild’ chaotic features, such as the geodesic flow on surfaces with a flat geometry or the Ehrenfest model in mathematical physics. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the latter model introduced more than a century ago, were made possible by the powerful tools exploiting moduli spaces of surfaces and Teichmueller dynamics, an area which has attracted the work of several Fields medallists. We will in particular highlight some results of probabilistic flavor that can still be proven for these deterministic systems, hidden in the fractal structure of trajectories and the 'deterministic random walks' that describe them. Il seminario sarà seguito da un piccolo rinfresco. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare, Giampaolo Cristadoro -------------------------------------------------------- Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università di Milano - Bicocca via R.

Lunedì 18 Marzo 2024: Seminario di Gianmarco Bet alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

Buongiorno, Gianmarco Bet (Università di Firenze) terrà un seminario alla Sapienza Lunedì 18 Marzo alle 16:00. Sotto trovate i dettagli. Saluti Alessandra *Time*: Monday 18 March, 16:00 *Room*: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza University of Rome *Title:* Detecting a late changepoint in the preferential attachment model *Abstract*: Motivated by the problem of detecting a change in the evolution of a network, we consider the preferential attachment random graph model with a time-dependent attachment function. Our goal is to detect whether the attachment mechanism changed over time, based on a single snapshot of the network at time $n$ and without directly observable information about the dynamics. We cast this question as a hypothesis testing problem, where the null hypothesis is a preferential attachment model with a constant affine attachment parameter \delta_0, and the alternative hypothesis is a preferential attachment model where the affine attachment parameter changes from $\delta_0$ to $\delta_1$ at an unknown changepoint time $\tau_n$. For our analysis we assume that the changepoint occurs close to the observation time of the network, which corresponds to the relevant scenario where we aim to detect the changepoint shortly after it has happened. We present two tests based on the number of vertices with minimal degree. The first test assumes knowledge of $\delta_0$, while the second does not. We show that these are asymptotically powerful when $n-\tau_n \gg n^{1/2}$. Furthermore, we prove that the test statistics for both tests are asymptotically normal, allowing for accurate calibration of the tests. If time allows, we will present numerical experiments to illustrate the finite sample test properties. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 123, first floor *************************************************
