Seminario di Giorgio Cipolloni alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 28 May '25

28 May '25

Buongiorno Martedi' 3 Giugno alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio Giorgio Cipolloni (University of Arizona) terra' il seguente seminario Title: Logarithmically correlated fields from non-Hermitian random matrices Abstract: We study the Brownian evolution of large non-Hermitian matrices and show that their log-determinant converges to a 2+1 dimensional Gaussian field in the Edwards-Wilkinson regularity class, i.e. logarithmically correlated for the parabolic distance. This gives a dynamical extension of the celebrated result by Rider and Virag (2006) proving that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of Gaussian non-Hermitian matrices converge to a 2 dimensional log-correlated field. Our result, previously not known even in the Gaussian case, holds out of equilibrium for general matrices with i.i.d. entries. We also study the extremal values of these fields and demonstrate their logarithmic dependence on the matrix dimension.

Seminario Padova - Vanessa Jacquier
by Alberto Chiarini 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (30 Maggio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Vanessa Jacquier (Università di Padova) Title: Discrete Nonlocal Isoperimetric Inequality and Analysis of the Long-Range Bi-Axial Ising Model Date: May 30, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: We consider a generalization of the classical perimeter, referred to as the nonlocal bi-axial discrete perimeter, in which not only the external boundary of a polyomino contributes to the perimeter, but all its internal and external components. In particular, this nonlocal bi-axial perimeter is a fractional function that depends on the shape of the given geometrical figure and on a parameter λ>1, which accounts for the long-range effect. We tackle the nonlocal discrete isoperimetric problem analyzing and characterizing the minimizers within the class of polyominoes with a fixed area. The solution of this isoperimetric problem provides a rigorous foundation for studying the metastable behavior of the long-range bi-axial Ising model. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminario di Amichai Painsky presso l'università Bicocca, Mercoledì 4 giugno
by Mario Beraha 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vi segnalo il seguente seminario in presenza presso l’università di Milano-Bicocca. 4 giugno 2025, ore 12:00, Aula Seminario 2104, Edificio U7, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8, Milano. Speaker: Amichai Painsky, Tel Aviv University Title: Large Alphabet Inference Abstract: Consider a finite sample from an unknown distribution over a large alphabet. Making inference in a large alphabet regime is a fundamental problem in statistics and related fields, which entails several basic challenges. For example, how accurately can we infer the parameters of events that do not appear in the sample? What can we say about the most frequent events in the sample? The entire underlying distribution? In this talk we introduce a novel inference scheme that tackles these challenging problems. Our proposed framework applies selective inference, as we construct confidence intervals (CIs) for the desired set of parameters. Interestingly, we show that obtained CIs are dimension-free, as they do not grow with the alphabet size. Further, we show that our CIs are (almost) tight, in the sense that they cannot be further improved without violating the prescribed coverage rate.

Short courses in GSSI trimester
by Lu Xu 27 May '25

27 May '25

Dear colleagues and friends, we are glad to announce the forthcoming short courses and seminar in GSSI in June: June 3-5 (short cours) & June 6 (seminar): Prof. Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) June 10-12: Prof. Lenya Ryzhik (Stanford) Please see at the end of the email for the detailed information. Registration is free through the web form: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found here: https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/. We would be grateful if you could circulate the announcement among potentially interested students and researchers. For any information do not hesitate to contact us (patterns(a)gssi.it<mailto:patterns@gssi.it>). ———————————————— Venue: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) ———————————————— Matter and topology: an overview Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) 3/6 (Tue) 14:15-15:45 5/6 (Thu) 14:15-15:45 6/6 (Fri) 09:00-10:45 Topological insulators are materials that are conducting at their edge, though not in the bulk. Their essential physical properties are encoded by an index. After reviewing the historical origins, and the Quantum Hall effect in particular, the appropriate indices will be discussed (Chern numbers, index of a pair of projections), as well as bulk-edge correspondence. Thereafter symmetry protected topological insulators will be addressed. The focus will be on symmetries like time-reversal and particle-hole conjugation and, correspondingly, on the Quantum Spin Hall effect and Majorana zero modes in superconductors, in physical dimensions d=2 and 1, respectively. More broadly, the Kitaev table describes the kind of indices that occur in relation to many more symmetries, in any dimension d, and its derivation will be treated. Special topics beyond the above framework, such as time-dependent systems (Floquet or quantum pumps) or classical systems (hydrodynamics) may occur too, as time permits. ———————————————— SMAQ Seminar: Adiabatic charge pumps and Galilei covariance Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) 6/6 (Fri) 14:00-15:30 The Thouless theory of quantum pumps establishes quantized transport per cycle and determines the necessary conditions. When the description is shifted to a moving reference frame, as suggested by recent experiments on ultracold gases, transported and residing charges mix. That transformation is encoded in Galilean space and time, but underlying it is one of vector bundles that may be described in a number of ways, that may or may not rely on Bloch theory. In one of them, the transformation mixes strong and weak indices of a bundle on a 2-torus; in another one, a 3-torus is at center stage; in yet another one, and somewhat informal way, the transformation is related to a paradox that astonished seafarers of centuries past. Joint work with T. Esslinger and F. Santi. ———————————————— Branching Brownian motion and knowledge diffusion: from Fisher-KPP to MFG Lenya Ryzhik (Stanford) 10/6 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 11/6 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 & 16:15-17:45 12/6 (Thu) 16:15-17:45 We will first discuss the general connection, via the voting models, between the branching Brownian motion (BBM) and the Fisher-KPP and other semilinear parabolic equations. This connection, together with the long time asymptotics of the solutions, allows, in particular, to deduce some fine properties of BBM, such as the law of large numbers and fluctuations of the limiting process near the maximum of BBM. In the second half of the lectures, we will discuss some knowledge diffusion models that arise in macroeconomics and lead to mean-field game type of problems that are also related to non-local Fisher-KPP equations. ———————————————— With our best wishes, Lu Xu Assistant Professor (RTDb) Gran Sasso Science Institute

OWABI@BioInference2025 - 29th May 10am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 26 May '25

26 May '25

Dear all, the next OWABI www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> seminar is quickly approaching, with two talks live from BioInference 2025 (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/) The seminars will be on Thursday the 29th May, at 10am UK time (note the different time with respect to previous seminars), given by * Andrew Golightly (Durham University), Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data * Henrik Häggström (Chalmers University), Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team Channel<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> , at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 323 917 219 730 3 Passcode: Fk9JG3eB 1st OWABI Talk: 10-10.30am UK time Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University) Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London. 2nd Seminar: 10.30-11am UK time Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University) Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminar Alfred Galichon Thu 29 May 14:30
by Marta Catalano 22 May '25

22 May '25

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar at Luiss University. ——— Speaker: Alfred Galichon, New York University Title: Optimal Transport for Economics: Applications and Extensions When: Thu May 29, 14:30 Where: Via Lisbona 7, 00198 Roma Room: S03A Abstract: Optimal transport theory has emerged as a unifying geometric framework for a wide range of economic questions that hinge on allocating heterogeneous agents or goods in a cost-efficient way. This talk surveys recent methodological advances and shows how they sharpen three core empirical tools: - Discrete choice models – I will show how viewing demand estimation through the lens of optimal transport delivers transparent identification of taste heterogeneity and suggests computationally efficient estimation algorithms that scale to high-dimensional product spaces. - Matching models – Building on the Monge–Kantorovich formulation, I will discuss equilibrium assignments in labor and marriage markets, highlighting new existence and uniqueness results when complementarities are non-transferable. Optimal transport duality provides constructive characterizations of wage/transfer schedules and illuminates comparative-statics of policy interventions. - Quantile regression and distributional methods – Re-casting quantile regression as an optimal transport problem links conditional quantiles to integral probability metrics. This perspective leads to robust, dependence-aware estimators and facilitates inference on counterfactual distributions, with applications to wage inequality and treatment-effect heterogeneity. Throughout, I will emphasize common geometric intuition, outline open computational challenges, and sketch extensions to dynamic settings and strategic interaction. The overarching goal is to demonstrate how optimal transport offers economists a versatile, tractable, and conceptually coherent toolkit for modeling heterogeneity and market frictions across disparate empirical domains. ——— More info can be found at this link: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/optimal-transport-for-ec… The seminar will be in presence only.

Eleanor Archer (Dauphine-PSL Paris) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known result of Aldous states that the scaling limit of the uniform spanning tree (UST) of the complete graph is the Brownian continuum random tree. We will discuss a recent result that shows that this is a universal phenomenon, in that the GHP scaling limit of the UST of any appropriate sequence of high dimensional graphs is the CRT. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. Based on joint work with Asaf Nachmias and Matan Shalev. Scaling limit of the Aldous-Broder chain on regular graphs: the transient regime. Anita Winter (Duisburg-Essen University) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known way to generate a uniform spanning tree (UST) is the Aldous-Broder algorithm. This is a stochastic process with values in rooted trees that is driven by a random walk on G and converges as time goes to infinity towards the Brownian Continuum Tree (CRT). On the complete graph it is known that this process has a GH-scaling limit which is referred to as Root Growth with Regrafting dynamics (RGRG). We will show that this is again a universal phenomenon, i.e., it holds for the Alous-Broder chain on any appropriate sequence of regular graphs in the transient regime. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. This is joint work with Osvaldo Angtuncio Hernandez and Gabriel Berzunza Ojeda. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Sono usate nella modellizzazione di vari fenomeni, in finanza/economia, ingegneria e altre scienze. In questo seminario, daremo un’introduzione a questi processi dal punto di vista matematico e parleremo delle loro applicazioni. Considereremo poi alcuni problemi di inferenza dei parametri, discutendo risultati asintotici sotto diverse ipotesi e sottolineando le difficoltà tecniche provenienti in particolare dalla connessione tra discontinuità, moto browniano skew e tempi locali. .%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminari online su applicazioni della probabilità in economia (Save the dates)
by Enrico Scalas 20 May '25

20 May '25

Il gruppo UMI PRISMA organizza una serie di tre seminari online, in inglese, sulle "Applicazioni della Probabilità all’Economia". La serie di seminari è specificamente organizzata da: - Giulio Bottazzi (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna) - Alessandro Calvia (Politecnico di Milano) - Marco Capaldo (RWTH Aachen) - Enrico Scalas (Sapienza Università di Roma) I seminari sono in preparazione alla Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview I dettagli sui link saranno diffusi in prossimità degli eventi sul sito web del gruppo UMI PRISMA: https://umi-prisma.polito.it/ e su questa lista. I seminari saranno i seguenti: 26 giugno 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Marta Leocata, LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences Title: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt). -- 10 luglio 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Annamaria Olivieri, University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management Title: Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications Abstract: In the closing decade of the last century, a generalized decrease in mortality rates has been reported in many countries, especially at adult and old ages, which was highly unanticipated. Until then, the modelling of mortality for insurance applications was mainly deterministic since, according to the classical insurance paradigm, in sufficiently large and homogeneous pools there is a high probability to achieve an outcome in line with what expected. Uncertain mortality trends are against such an argument. Net of the effect of the pandemic, the decreasing trend in mortality has persisted to current times, at a pace that remains random. Mortality has a clear impact on the liabilities of the life insurance (and pension) industry and an adequate mortality forecasting is among the key elements of an effective risk management design for a life insurer (or a pension fund), especially when longevity benefits are involved. Starting from the end of the last century, stochastic mortality modelling has become a core topic of actuarial science and many studies have greatly enriched the actuarial literature. In this presentation, the main characteristics of mortality trends are first summarized, with particular regard to the Italian population. Then, mortality and longevity risks are defined. Finally, a review of the main stochastic mortality models developed for actuarial purposes is provided. -- 17 luglio 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Sara Merino Aceituno, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna (Austria) Title: Large particle limit for jump processes Abstract: In this short course, we will study interacting particle systems whose dynamics are governed either by continuous-time Markov processes (such as coagulation models) or piecewise deterministic Markov processes (such as run-and-tumble dynamics). Our starting point will be the martingale formulation of these systems. The primary objective is to derive equations that approximate the behavior of the system as the number of particles becomes large.

Seminario Padova - Matteo Sfragara
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 19 May '25

19 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (23 Maggio) in aula 2AB45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Matteo Sfragara (Università di Padova) Title: Welcome seminar on random growth models Date: May 23, 2025, at 14:30, 2AB45 Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of my recent research activity on random growth models, mostly carried during my postdoc time at Stockholm University. We will first talk about the connection between chaos and concentration in models like first-passage percolation (FPP) and last-passage percolation (LPP), and we prove that they exhibit a chaotic behavior. This extends previous work on the topic, and illustrates that this is a phenomenon that can be expected more widely. The notion of ‘chaos' refers to the sensitivity of the optimal path (geodesic) when exposed to a slight perturbation. We will then shift our focus on competing first passage percolation on random graphs generated by the configuration model, where two infection types compete to invade the vertices in the graph spreading via nearest neighbors. Assuming that the degrees follow a power-law distribution with exponent τ, we present results in the case of finite variance (τ>3), in the case of finite mean but infinite variance (2<τ<3) and in the case of infinite mean (1<τ<2): is it possible for the two infection types to coexist as the number of vertices n tends to infinity? I will conclude with a brief mention to some ongoing research projects. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

In these models, particles interact via binary updates, exchanging a conserved quantity that can be interpreted as mass, energy, or momentum. Examples in this class include, among others, Kac’s walk, the Kipnis–Marchioro–Presutti model, and the Averaging process. Although these processes are Markovian, many standard techniques for analyzing finite-state Markov chains are not directly applicable due to the continuum nature of the configuration space, the presence of conservation laws, or singular constraints. We will provide an overview of the models in this class, with particular emphasis on spectral gaps and mixing times. The talk is based on a series of joint works with Pietro Caputo (Rome) and Seonwoo Kim (Seoul). https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Nicos Georgiou in Rome: The tree-TASEP on Galton-Watson trees
by Enrico Scalas 12 May '25

12 May '25

Buonasera, ricordo il seminario di probabilità di Nicos Georgiou che si terrà giovedì prossimo al Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche di Sapienza alle ore 15:00. Riporto l'annuncio completo qui sotto. Grazie per l'attenzione e cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas -- AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Il 15 maggio 2024 dalle ore 15, in aula 34 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche (DSS), Sapienza Università di Roma, nell'ambito dei Seminari di Probabilità del DSS, il Prof. Nicos Georgiou, University of Sussex, Regno Unito, terrà un seminario dal titolo -- The tree-TASEP on Galton-Watson trees Abstract: We define a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on trees, where the particles enter the tree from a reservoir attached to the root. Particles can only jump following edges on the tree and only if they are jumping away from the root, to a non-occupied vertex. We are interested in two different aspects of this particle system. First we want to investigate the current of particles across a given generation at a specific time, when we start from an initially empty initial condition. Second, we would like to obtain some information about the current across a given ray. Both answers depend heavily on our choice of jump rates for the particles and the tree geometry and different regimes of behaviour will be presented during the talk. Our results rely on a crucial estimate of the time it takes for the trajectories of the first N particles to decouple in the tree. This is joint work with N. Gantert (TUM) and D. Schmid (Columbia) -- Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Enrico Scalas

12 May '25

Dear Colleagues, With this, I would like to advertise the following talk by Max Sauerbrey (MPI Leipzig), which will be held at Sapienza University of Rome in "Sala di Consiglio" at *14:00* on *Tuesday*, *May 20th*. Kind regards, Antonio Agresti *Max Sauerbrey* (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig) *Title:* Solution theory for the stochastic thin film equation with spatially colored noise *Abstract:* We present recent results on the local in time well-posedness of stochastic thin-film equations driven by Gaussian noise, which is white in time and colored in space, with strictly positive initial data. After introducing the underlying model, we state the local well-posedness and instantaneous regularization result in any space dimension, including corresponding blow-up criteria. Then we comment on the one-dimensional situation in which global in time well-posedness can be obtained under consideration of intermolecular van der Waals forces between the fluid and the substrate. The talk is based on joint work with Antonio Agresti: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.12652.
