An afternoon on the spectral theory of pseudo-differential operators
by Enrico Scalas 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

Dear Colleagues, On 9 april 2024 starting from 14:00 in room 34, 4th floor of the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, (building CU002), two seminars on non-local operators will take place. Here is the program. Please feel free to inform interested people. Best regards, Enrico Scalas -- 14:00 - 15:00 Atsuhide Ishida (Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo, Japan) Mourre inequality for non-local Schrödinger operators We consider the Mourre inequality for the following self-adjoint operator $H=\Psi(-\Delta/2)+V$ acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $\Psi: [0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an increasing function, $\Delta$ is the Laplacian and $V: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an interaction potential. Mourre inequality immediately yields the discreteness and finite multiplicity of the eigenvalues. Moreover, the Mourre inequality together with the limiting absorption principle can be used to show absence of the singular continuous spectrum. In addition, Mourre inequality is also used for the proof of the minimal velocity estimate that plays an important role in scattering theory. In this talk, we report that Mourre inequality holds under a general $\Psi$ and $V$ by choosing the conjugate operator $A=(p \cdot x + x \cdot p)/2$ with $p= - i \nabla$, and that the discreteness and finite multiplicity of the eigenvalues hold. This talk is a joint work with J. Lőrinczi (Alfred Rényi Institute) and I. Sasaki (Shinshu University). 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee break 15:30 - 16:30 József Lőrinczi (Alfred Rényi Institute, Budapest, Hungary) Embedded eigenvalues for a class of non-local Schrödinger operators Generally, the spectrum of a non-local Schrödinger operator may be rather intricate, even when they are self-adjoint operators. In this talk I plan to discuss some explicit cases when positive or zero eigenvalues occur, and also address the problem more generally, aiming to describe potentials which can give rise to zero eigenvalues for massive or massless (fractional) relativistic Schrodinger operators. If time permits, I intend to explain how random processes with jumps can be used to analyse such properties. 16:30 - 18:00 Discussion time

08 Apr '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/>) Ricordiamo che oggi, lunedì 8 aprile 2024, Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) ci parleranno di Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità 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/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi, Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità RIASSUNTO: I semigruppi markoviani quantistici sono essenzialmente semigruppi di operatori positivi su algebre di operatori con le opportune proprietà di continuità e che rafforzano la positività. Appaiono nella letteratura fisica e fisico-matematica alla fine degli anni '60 con il nome di semigruppi dinamici quantistici nella modellizzazione e nell'analisi dei sistemi aperti in meccanica quantistica. Tuttavia, dal punto di vista matematico, costituiscono la naturale generalizzazione dei semigruppi markoviani classici, infatti questi ultimi sono semigruppi di operatori definiti su un'algebra di funzioni, cioè un'algebra di operatori che commutano tra loro. Il modo più naturale per descrivere un sistema quantistico è un’algebra di Von Neumann e la sua evoluzione come una famiglia di operatori debole*-continui, che formino un semigruppo e che abbiano la proprietà di markovianità. Se il sistema è chiuso allora la sua evoluzione è reversibile, altrimenti se interagisce con l’ambiente allora ci potrebbe essere una parte diffusiva. In Fisica, si parla di “decoerenza” quando solo una parte del sistema evolve in maniera automorfica (l’algebra priva di decoerenza, appunto) e una parte “scompare” per tempi lunghi. La nostra ricerca si è focalizzata a lungo su quale definizione di decoerenza sia più adatta e se è possibile trovare condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per il suo verificarsi. Nello studio dei processi (semigruppi) di Markov classici sono fondamentali le nozioni di ricorrenza e comunicazione tra insiemi di stati; mostreremo come questi concetti siano stati generalizzati nel caso noncommutativo e discuteremo alcune delle loro proprietà e relazioni. Particolare attenzione sarà dato al caso in cui l’algebra su cui agisce il semigruppo sia l’insieme di tutti gli operatori lineari limitati che agiscono su uno spazio di Hilbert. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

De Finetti seminar: Marcel Nutz, April 16
by Marco Maggis 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following lecture: Marcel Nutz Columbia University (New York) Title: Entropic Selection in Optimal Transport Abstract: The optimal transport problem can admit many solutions, for instance when the cost function is the Euclidean distance on R^d (Monge's problem). On the other hand, entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) always has a unique optimizer. It is a longstanding open problem whether EOT selects some particular optimal transport coupling in the vanishing regularization limit, and what that coupling would look like. We provide a surprising answer for Monge's problem in dimension d > 1. (Joint work with Chenyang Zhong.) LOCATION: The seminar will be held on *April 16, *2024 at *17.30,* Sala di Rappresentanza, Dipart. Matematica, Università di Milano, Via Saldini 50, Milano. Scientific Committee: Prof. Simone Cerreia-Vioglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Maggis (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Massimo Marinacci (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Emanuela Rosazza Gianin (Univ. Milano-Bicocca)

Seminars in Statistics - Varun Jog & Po-Ling Loh
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 12 Aprile 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terranno i seguenti *2 seminari*: ------------------------------------------------ *11.00-12.00* Speaker: Varun Jog (University of Cambridge, UK) Title: *The sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing* Abstract: The sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing is the smallest number of i.i.d. samples required to distinguish between two distributions p and q such that the Type-I and Type-II errors are smaller than some pre-specified thresholds α and β, respectively. Our main contribution is deriving, under mild technical conditions, a formula for the sample complexity in terms of parameters p, q, alpha, and beta, that is tight up to universal multiplicative constants. ------------------------------------------------ *12.00-13.00* Speaker: Po-Ling Loh (University of Cambridge, UK) Title: *Differentially private M-estimation via noisy optimization* Abstract: We present a noisy composite gradient descent algorithm for differentially private statistical estimation in high dimensions. We begin by providing general rates of convergence for the parameter error of successive iterates under assumptions of local restricted strong convexity and local restricted smoothness. Our analysis is local, in that it ensures a linear rate of convergence when the initial iterate lies within a constant-radius region of the true parameter. At each iterate, multivariate Gaussian noise is added to the gradient in order to guarantee that the output satisfies Gaussian differential privacy. We then derive consequences of our theory for linear regression and mean estimation. Motivated by M-estimators used in robust statistics, we study loss functions which downweight the contribution of individual data points in such a way that the sensitivity of function gradients is guaranteed to be bounded, even without the usual assumption that our data lie in a bounded domain. We prove that the objective functions thus obtained indeed satisfy the restricted convexity and restricted smoothness conditions required for our general theory. We then show how the private estimators obtained by noisy composite gradient descent may be used to obtain differentially private confidence intervals for regression coefficients, by leveraging work in Lasso debiasing proposed in high-dimensional statistics. We complement our theoretical results with simulations that illustrate the favorable finite-sample performance of our methods. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire entrambi i seminari anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88987605028?pwd=YXN1akl1bkN3TEFlS3QrMWFDWEF5dz09> I seminari sono organizzati dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>
