Seminar in Statistics - PATRICK REBESCHINI
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 27 Ottobre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Patrick Rebeschini* (Oxford University, UK) Title: *Algorithmic Stability, Generalization, and Privacy for Diffusion Models* Abstract: The acclaimed success of diffusion models sparks a need to formulate theoretical guarantees to explain the generalization capability of such distribution learning methods, despite the high-dimensional nature of the training data and sampling procedures being utilized. Prior efforts accounting for the empirical nature of score matching mechanisms typically hinge on uniform learning strategies, which provide error bounds that are algorithm-agnostic and often yield results that depend exponentially badly on the problem dimension. In this work, we move away from uniform learning approaches and develop algorithm-dependent generalization error bounds based on the framework of algorithmic stability from supervised learning. We introduce the notion of 'score stability’, which encapsulates the score learning process's susceptibility to perturbations in the training data. We show that score-stable algorithms generalize well and generate differentially-private samples. To showcase the applicability of our framework, we consider score functions learned via canonical gradient-based optimization procedures, and establish generalization bounds that display a linear dependence on the dimension. Our bounds are stated with respect to the reverse KL divergence and the maximum mean discrepancy, notions of error commonly used in the analysis and training of diffusion models. (Joint work with Tyler Farghly, George Deligiannidis, and Arnaud Doucet) ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88107896961?pwd=TFZhS01BS3IzZmtSRWZNTWJhNHRNQT09> Il seminario è organizzato 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/>

SPASS Seminar: Simon Michaël Schulz
by Francesco Grotto 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Well-posedness and stationary states for a crowded active Brownian system with size-exclusion* by *Simon Michaël Schulz* (Scuola Normale Superiore) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 24.10.2023* at *14:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> ------------------------------------------- Abstract: We prove the existence of solutions to a non-linear, non-local, degenerate equation which was previously derived as the formal hydrodynamic limit of an active Brownian particle system, where the particles are endowed with a position and an orientation. This equation incorporates diffusion in both the spatial and angular coordinates, as well as a non-linear non-local drift term, which depends on the angle-independent density. The spatial diffusion is non-linear degenerate and also comprises diffusion of the angle-independent density, which one may interpret as cross-diffusion with infinitely many species. Our proof relies on interpreting the equation as the perturbation of a gradient flow in a Wasserstein-type space. It generalizes the boundedness-by-entropy method to this setting and makes use of a gain of integrability due to the angular diffusion. We also prove uniqueness in the particular case where the non-local drift term is null, and provide existence and uniqueness results for stationary equilibrium solutions. This is joint work with Martin Burger.

Seminars at Sapienza Univ. - 23-24 Oct.
by Luisa Beghin 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Dear all, we are pleased to invite you to the two seminars organised by the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, which can be followed via Zoom. *Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche) *Zoom: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09 *Time:* *Monday 23th of October, at 10.30* *Speaker: *Josè Luis Da Silva (University of Madeira - Portugal) *Title:* A Biorthogonal Approach to Infinite Dimensional Fractional Poisson Measures *Abstract*: We use a biorthogonal approach to the analysis of the infinite dimensional fractional Poisson measure. The complex Hilbert space w.r.t. these measures are described in terms of a proper system of generalized Appell polynomials. The kernels of the monomials may be expressed in terms of the Stirling operators of the first and second kind as well as the falling factorials in infinite dimensions. Associated to this system of Appell polynomials is the dual Appell system which is suitable to describe generalised functions. We then construct and characterize test and generalised functions in terms of integral transform as entire functions. *Time:* *Tuesday 24th of October, at 14.30* *Speaker: *Tobias Kuna (University of L'Aquila) *Title:* An Intrinsic Characterization of Moment Functionals in the Compact Case *Abstract:* We discuss characterizations of linear functionals $L$ on an unital commutative real algebra $A$ which can be represented as integral w.r.t. a compactly supported Radon measure on the character space of $A$. We give a characterization by the following three types of conditions: bounds on the growth of $(L(a^n))_n$, non-negativity of $L$ on Archimedean quadratic models, and continuity of $L$ w.r.t. submultiplicative seminorms on $A$. We will relate each of these conditions to a different technique solving this instance of the moment problem. Surprisingly, we can also provide an exact characterization of the compact support of the representing Radon measure purely in terms of $L$. This is a joint work arXiv:2204.05630 with Maria Infusino, Salma Kuhlmann and Patrick Michalski. Best regards.

One World ABC Seminar: Stefan Radev - 26th October, 1pm Uk time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Dear all, our next One World ABC Seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is quickly approaching. We are happy to inform you that our next OWABC speaker is Stefan Radev<https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, US), who will talk about "More expressive amortized Bayesian inference via joint learning and self-consistency?" on Thursday, the 26th October at 1pm UK time (please notice the different time!) Abstract: We propose “jointly amortized neural approximation” (JANA) to simultaneously learn intractable likelihood functions and posterior densities arising in Bayesian surrogate modeling and simulation-based inference. To this end, we train three complementary networks in an end-to-end fashion: 1) a summary network to compress individual data points, sets, or time series into informative embedding vectors; 2) a posterior network to learn an amortized approximate posterior; and 3) a likelihood network to learn an amortized approximate likelihood. The interaction between these networks opens a new route to amortized marginal likelihood and posterior predictive estimation. Furthermore, we observe that we can increase the efficiency of amortized inference by leveraging the marginal likelihood as a proxy for the self-consistency of Bayes’ rule. Upon perfect approximation, the marginal likelihood is constant across all parameter values by definition. However, approximation error leads to undesirable variance in the marginal likelihood estimates across different parameter values. We formulate violations of this symmetry as a loss function applicable in both likelihood-based and simulation-based scenarios. We demonstrate the utility of these approaches on illustrative Bayesian models, including both simple examples and representative cases. The talk will be streamed on MS Teams, and it can be joined via this link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWQwZjg3NTktNjY4OS00… or via Meeting ID: 389 057 974 73 Passcode: H9uMjk We're looking forward to seeing you next week, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABC Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Associate Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Double seminar: Francesco D'Amore & Isabella Ziccardi at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Dear all, On Thursday, October 19th, at 14h00 (change of usual time!) in Aula Dal Passo at the Math Department of Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host the seminars 14h00 - Francesco D'Amore (Aalto University, Espoo) "The Strong Lottery Ticker Hypothesis and the Random Subset Sum Problem” Abstract: The Strong Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SLTH) posits that randomly-initialized neural networks contain subnetworks (strong lottery tickets) that achieve competitive accuracy when compared to sufficiently small target networks, even those that have been trained. Empirical evidence for this phenomenon was first observed by Ramanujan et al. in 2020, spurring a line of theoretical research: Malach et al. (2020), Pensia et al. (2020), da Cunha et al. (2022), and Burkholz (2022) have analytically proved formulations of the SLTH in various neural network classes and under different hypotheses. In this presentation, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art theoretical research on the SLTH and its connection with the Random Subset Sum (RSS) problem in theoretical computer science. While previous works on the SLTH ensure that the strong lottery ticket can be obtained via unstructured pruning, we demonstrate how recent advances in the multidimensional generalization of the RSS problem can be leveraged to obtain forms of structured pruning. Additionally, we highlight how refining the RSS results would yield tighter formulations of the SLTH. This presentation is based on a joint work with Arthur da Cunha and Emanuele Natale that will be presented at NeurIPS 2023. 15h00 - Isabella Ziccardi (Bocconi) "Distributed Self-Stabilizing MIS Algorithms" Abstract: I will discuss self-stabilizing distributed algorithms that find a Maximal Independent Set in an n-vertex graph. These algorithms share the feature of utilizing randomization to break symmetry. I will compare them based on the following parameters: the number of states used by each node, the knowledge of the graph required by each node, and their stabilization time. The first three algorithms are obtained by reconsidering some existing algorithms and making them self-stabilizing by introducing additional states. The first algorithm gets along with three states, but each node must have knowledge of ∆, the maximum node degree. In the second algorithm, nodes only need to be aware of their degree, but each node v has O(∆(v)) states, where ∆(v) is the degree of v. The third algorithm also requires O(∆(v)) states for each node v, but it works in the restricted beeping communication model. All three algorithms stabilize in O(log n) rounds with high probability. Lastly, I will talk about two algorithms that aim to create self-stabilizing algorithms with a constant number of states while requiring no knowledge of the underlying graph. The first algorithm is a natural process that, despite its simplicity, has received limited attention in the literature. It stabilizes in O(polylog(n)) rounds for specific graph families but may exhibit slower convergence time on general graphs. The final algorithm is a modification of this simple process, that tries to fix the particular situations that slow down the convergence. We encourage in-person partecipation.

One world probability seminar October 19th
by Alberto Chiarini 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Ricevo e inoltro: ------------------------------------------------------ Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be on October 19 (Thursday) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC.The speakers of this session are Martin Hairer (Imperial College and EPFL) and Hao Shen (Wisconsin-Madison). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Talk 1 : Stochastic quantization of Yang-Mills Speaker : Martin Hairer Abstract : We report on recent progress on the problem of building a stochastic process that admits the (hypothetical in 3D) Yang-Mills measure as its invariant measure. One interesting feature of our construction is that it preserves gauge-covariance in the limit even though it is broken by our UV regularisation. This is based on joint work with Ajay Chandra, Ilya Chevyrev, and Hao Shen. Talk 2 : Invariant measure and universality of the 2D Yang-Mills Langevin dynamic Speaker: Hao Shen Abstract : In [CCHS20] by Chandra, Chevyrev, Hairer and S., a Langevin dynamic for 2D Yang-Mills (YM) was constructed on 2D torus. In this talk we discuss some new results based on a joint paper with Chevyrev [CS22]. We prove that the 2D YM measure is invariant for the Langevin dynamic constructed in [CCHS20]. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge-fixing, and Bourgain’s method for invariant measures. In particular, we prove a universality result which states that for a wide class of lattice YM gauge theories, their corresponding Langevin dynamics converge to the same continuum dynamic constructed in [CCHS20]. An important step is a proof of uniqueness for the mass renormalisation of the gauge-covariant continuum Langevin dynamic, which allows us to identify the limit of discrete approximations. As corollaries we obtain a gauge-fixed decomposition of the YM measure into a Gaussian free field and an almost Lipschitz remainder, and a proof of universality for the 2D YM measure under a wide class of discrete approximations.

seminario Federico Capannoli (16 Ottobre, Sapienza)
by Matteo Quattropani 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Salve a tutti, Segnalo il seguente seminario, che avrà luogo Lunedì 16 Ottobre alle ore 17:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza): Speaker: Federico Capannoli (Leiden University) Title: Meeting, Coalescence and Consensus on random directed graphs. Abstract: We consider Markovian dynamics on a typical realization of the so-called Directed Configuration Model (DCM), which is a random directed graph with prescribed in- and out-degrees. In this random geometry, we study the meeting time of two random walks starting at stationarity, the coalescence time for a system of coalescent random walks, and the consensus time of the voter model. Indeed, it is known that the latter three quantities are related to each other when the underlying sequence of graphs satisfies certain mean field conditions. We provide a complete characterization of the distribution of meeting, coalescence and consensus time on a typical random graph as a function of a single quantity θ. More precisely we show that, for a typical large graph from the DCM ensemble, the distribution of the meeting time is well-approximated by an exponential random variable. Furthermore, we provide the precise first-order approximation of its expectation, showing that the latter is linear in the size of the graph, and the explicit preconstant θ depends on some easy statistics of the degree sequence. As a consequence, we can analyze the effect of the degree sequence on the expected meeting time and, via some explicit examples, how its regularity/variability play crucial roles in the information diffusion. This is based on a joint work with Luca Avena (University of Florence), Rajat Subhra Hazra (Leiden University) and Matteo Quattropani (Sapienza, University of Rome). Saluti, Matteo Quattropani

Post-doc position in mathematical statistics in Tartu (Estonia)
by Daniela Bertacchi 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Ricevo e inoltro: ******************************************* *Post-doc position in mathematical statistics in Tartu (Estonia)* https://jobrxiv.org/job/university-of-tartu-27778-postdoc-position-in-mathe… *Announcement* The Institute of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Tartu is seeking to fill the post of a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in mathematical statistics. The fixed-term position is scheduled for a duration of 1 year, the regular full employment time is 40 hours per week. The institute is located at the University of Tartu Delta Centre, https://delta.ut.ee/en <https://delta.ut.ee/en%E2%80%9D> The successful candidate will join the research project “Statistical modelling with hidden Markov models and model validation” under supervision of Prof Jüri Lember and Ass Prof Kristi Kuljus. Project description: Manyfold Markov models are generalizations of hidden Markov models (HMM). A manyfold Markov model is a multi-dimensional Markov chain, where typically some of the marginal processes are considered as latent variables. Mostly two- or three- dimensional models – called pairwise or triplet Markov models (PMM or TMM) – are studied. Such a general approach yields a large and flexible class of dynamical models, thus, for instance, HMM is just a very narrow subclass of TMMs. The purpose of the project is to study different inference problems related to these Markov models, an important research direction is segmentation or decoding. The research combines theory with practice, involving working out the corresponding probability-theoretical framework as well as necessary dynamic programming algorithms, studying their properties and implementing the methods to real data. Both frequentist and Bayesian settings will be considered. Requirements: Candidates should hold a PhD degree in mathematical statistics or mathematics. Good command of written and spoken English is expected. Candidates are invited to submit their application (CV, list of publications, a scanned copy of the PhD diploma, brief motivation letter, and contacts for at least two references). Application deadline is November 15, 2023; expected start date is January 1, 2024.

Papagiannouli. https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/sslapdys -------------------------------------------- * Title: Understanding Neural Networks with Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces* Abstract: *Characterizing the function spaces corresponding to neural networks can provide a way to understand their properties. The talk is devoted to show how the theory of reproducing kernel Banach spaces can be used to characterize the function spaces corresponding to neural networks. In particular, I will show a representer theorem for a class of reproducing kernel Banach spaces, which includes one hidden layer neural networks of possibly infinite width. Furthermore, I will prove that, for a suitable class of ReLU activation functions, the norm in the corresponding reproducing kernel Banach space can be characterized in terms of the inverse Radon transform of a bounded real measure. * *The talk is based on joint work with F. Bartolucci, L. Rosasco and S. Vigogna.*

Seminario Padova - Quattropani
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (13 ottobre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Università di Padova (Torre Archimede) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Matteo Quattropani (Università la Sapienza di Roma) Title: Mixing of the Averaging process on graphs Date: October 13, 2023 at 14:30, room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, Padova; in presenza Abstract: The Averaging process (a.k.a. repeated averages) is a mass redistribution model over the vertex set of a graph. Given a graph G, the process starts with a non-negative mass associated to each vertex. The edges of G are equipped with Poissonian clocks: when an edge rings, the masses at the two extremes of the edge are equally redistributed on these two vertices. Clearly, as time grows to infinity, the state of the system will converge (in some sense) to a flat configuration in which all the vertices have the same mass. This very simple process has been introduced to the probabilistic community by Aldous and Lanoue in 2012. However, up to few years ago, there was no graph for which sharp quantitative results on the time needed to reach equilibrium were available. Indeed, the analysis of this process requires different tools compared to the classical Markov chain framework, and even in the case of seemingly straightforward geometries—such as the complete graph or the 1-d torus—it can be handled only by means of non trivial probabilistic and functional analytic techniques. During the talk, I’ll try to give a broad overview of the problem and of its difficulties, and I'll present the few examples that have been completely settled. Based on joint work with P. Caputo (Roma Tre) and F. Sau (Università di Trieste) Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

PhD position in Probability Theory at TU Delft
by Elena Pulvirenti 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Dear all, could you help me share this position? If you know of any suitable candidate, I would be grateful if you could bring the position to their attention! With many thanks and best regards, Elena ************ The Institute of Applied Mathematics at *TU Delft* invites applications for a *PhD position in Probability Theory* We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to work under the supervision of Dr. E. Pulvirenti, Assistant professor in the *Applied Probability* group of Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM). The PhD position is in the area of probability theory and statistical mechanics. The PhD project is a NWO funded "open competition project" which deals with the study of metastability for dilute spin systems. These are classical models of statistical mechanics with bond disorder, i.e. where deterministic pair interactions are replaced by random variables. The main objective is to develop a robust mathematical approach to study the metastable behaviour of these models. Metastability is a universal phenomenon, where a system spends a long time in a state of "pseudo equilibrium" until it crosses over to a stable state. This project aims at identifying the quantities characterising the stochastic nature of this phenomenon, such as the average and the distribution of the random transition time. The candidate should: - Hold a master's degree in mathematics or theoretical physics; - Have a profound knowledge of probability and mathematical physics\statistical mechanics; - Have eagerness to explore complex mathematical challenges; - Have English proficiency both written and spoken; - Be able to work both independently and collaboratively. Are you interested in this vacancy? Please apply before *19 November 2023* via the application button and upload your the following material: - A motivation letter (max. 2 pages) addressed to Elena Pulvirenti. The motivation letter should summarize: (i) why you would like to do a PhD, (ii) why you are interested in the project/topic, (iii) why your profile is suitable for the job, and (iv) what you hope to gain from the position; - A detailed CV (with contact information of 2-3 references); - A transcript of BSc and MSc grades; - The candidates bachelor's and master's theses (if available online, a link is sufficient). If available, a summary of the theses can be added; - Optional: (draft) versions of papers that you have submitted/published. You will be contacted by Elena Pulvirenti for an interview if you are among the leading candidates, in which case more specific information will be provided. For scientific inquiries regarding this vacancy, please contact Elena Pulvirenti, via email: E.Pulvirenti(a)tudelft.nl. In order to simplify communication, please add the prefix [PhDPulvirenti2023] to the email's subject.

(PMS)^2 talks: G. Zheng and G. Amir
by Maurizia Rossi 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - *talks*: Speaker: *Guangqu Zheng* (University of Liverpool) Title: CLT and almost sure CLT for hyperbolical Anderson model with Lévy noise. (Abstract below.) Speaker: *Gidi Amir* (Bar Ilan University) Title: Speed, entropy and other quantities of random walks on groups. (Abstract below.) Date and time: *Tuesday October 10, 10:30-12:30 (Rome time zone) * Place: Dept. of Mathematics and Applications, *Università di Milano-Bicocca*, *room 3014* (*U5/RATIO* building). *Webex meeting link*: https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=md61ac6bd0a0c3288815a386b472b… *ID meeting*: 2741 951 7655 *Password*: mwCpfq3tr54 - *Abstract (Zheng)*. In this talk, we will first briefly mention the recent research on CLT results of random field solutions to stochastic heat equations and stochastic wave equations with various Gaussian noises. Then, we will talk about the spatial ergodicity (first order result) and CLT (second order fluctuation) for a stochastic linear wave equation driven by Lévy noise, which is based on a joint work with R. Balan (Ottawa) [arXiv:2302.14178]. Finally, we will talk about the associated almost sure central limit theorem, based on a joint work with R. Balan (Ottawa) and P. Xia (Auburn). *Abstract (Amir)*. Given a (finitely supported, symmetric) random walk X_n on a countable groups G, one may consider several quantities associated to the random walk, such as the expected distance E|X_n|, its Shannon entropy H(X_n), its return probabilities P(X_n=id) and more. For example, on polynomial growth groups (e.g. Z^d) it is well known the walk is always diffusive, has logarithmic entropy and polynomial decaying return probabilities, while on the free group the speed and entropy of a random walk increase linearly with n and the return probabilities decay exponentially. A natural problem is to understand what are the possible range of behaviours of such quantities for random walks on groups and how they relate to other group properties. In this lecture I will survey some old and new results on the subject, including some more recent works on speed and entropy of random walks on intermediate growth groups and on possible behaviours of the Law of Iterated Logarithm. The talk is based on joint works with B. Virag, G. Blachar, C. Saroussi and T. Zheng, though we will also touch upon works by A. Erschler, and by J. Brieussel and T. Zheng. All notions will be defined in the talk, and in particular no knowledge of groups is required for the talk. - These talks are part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico. Participation is free and welcome! Best regards, The organizers (Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella) -- Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://mauriziarossi.wordpress.com

(PMS)^2 talk: Mario Maurelli
by Margherita Zanella 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: Mario Maurelli (Università di Pisa) Title: Existence and uniqueness by Kraichnan noise for 2D Euler equations with unbounded vorticity. Abstract: We consider the incompressible Euler equations in two or three dimensions and we show that the addition of a suitable multiplicative It\^o noise with superlinear growth prevents a smooth solution from blowing up in finite time. The result is valid for a more general hyperbolic-type SPDE. The proof is based on the Lyapunov function method. We consider the 2D Euler equations on $\\mathbb{R}^2$ in vorticity form, with unbounded initial vorticity, perturbed by a suitable non-smooth Kraichnan transport noise, with regularity index $\\alpha\\in (0,1)$. We show weak existence for every $\\dot{H}^{-1}$ initial vorticity. Thanks to the noise, the solutions that we construct are limits in law of a regularized stochastic Euler equation and enjoy an additional $L^2([0,T];H^{-\\alpha})$ regularity. For every $p>3/2$ and for certain regularity indices $\\alpha \\in (0,1/2)$ of the Kraichnan noise, we show also pathwise uniqueness for every $L^p$ initial vorticity. This result is not known without noise. Joint work with Michele Coghi. Date and time: Tuesday 10 October, 14:30-15:30 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula Seminari - III piano (third floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 – 20133 Milano - Ed. 14 “Nave” Campus Bonardi.

SPASS Seminar: Alexandre Gaudillière, 10 October, 11:00, Florence
by Gianmarco Bet 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): Too many frogs cannot fall sleep by Alexandre Gaudillière (CNRS) The seminars will take place on TUE, 10.10.2023 at 11:00 CET in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica “Ulisse Dini", University of Florence and streamed online (see seminar website for the URL). The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttps://sites.g…> -------------------------------------------- Too many frogs cannot fall sleep Abstract: We prove the existence of an active phase for activated random walks on the lattice in all dimensions. This interacting particle system is made of two kinds of random walkers, or frogs: active and sleeping frogs. Active frogs perform simple random walks, wake up all sleeping frogs on their trajectory and fall asleep at constant rate $\lambda$. Sleeping frogs stay where they are up to activation, when waken up by an active frog. At a large enough density, which is increasing in $\lambda$ but always less than one, such frogs on the torus form a metastable system. We prove that $n$ active frogs in a cramped torus will typically need an exponentially long time to collectively fall asleep ---exponentially long in $n$. This completes the proof of existence of a non-trivial phase transition for this model designed for the study of self-organized criticality. This is a joint work with Amine Asselah and Nicolas Forien. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gianmarco Bet (he/him) Senior researcher https://gianmarco.bet Phone: (+39) 055 2751491 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science "U.

Saluti, Michele Stochastic wave equations with constraints: well-posedness and Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation *Luogo:* l'evento si terrà in presenza in Aula Seminari "1" a Povo0 e per via telematica attraverso collegamento alla piattaforma Zoom; per partecipare sarà necessario collegarsi al link seguente e inserire i codici di accesso (da condividere solo con contatti fidati): https://unitn.zoom.us/j/82578903026 Topic: Trento Probability Seminars Meeting ID: 825 7890 3026 Passcode: 978062 *Data:* Mercoledì 4 ottobre *Ore:* 17:00 *Relatore:* - *Zdzislaw Brzezniak* (University of York) *Abstract: * I will discuss the well-posedness of a class of stochastic second-order in time-damped evolution equations in Hilbert spaces, subject to the constraint that the solution lies on the unit sphere. A specific example is provided by the stochastic damped wave equation in a bounded domain of a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, endowed with the Dirichlet boundary conditions, with the added constraint that the $L^2$-norm of the solution is equal to one. We introduce a small mass $\mu>0$ in front of the second-order derivative in time and examine the validity of the Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation. We demonstrate that, in the small mass limit, the solution converges to the solution of a stochastic parabolic equation subject to the same constraint. We further show that an extra noise-induced drift emerges, which in fact does not account for the Stratonovich-to-It\^{o} correction term. This talk is based on joint research with S. Cerrai (Maryland). *Referenti*: Stefano Bonaccorsi, Michele Coghi, Luigi Amedeo Bianchi Per conoscere i prossimi eventi è possibile consultare la pagina *https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/118024/trento-probability-seminars-20232024 <https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/118024/trento-probability-seminars…>* Gli eventi passati si trovano alla pagina *https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/114273/trento-probability-seminars-20222023 <https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/114273/trento-probability-seminars…>*

Four tenure-track positions (various ranks) in the Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University
by Peruggia, Mario 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

Please see below for details about four open positions in the Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University. My best, Mario Position Overview The Department of Statistics at The Ohio State University seeks to fill four tenure-track faculty positions at the following ranks: assistant (two positions), assistant or associate (one position), and open rank (one position). Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the research, teaching and service missions of the department. Candidates with expertise in all research areas of statistics are encouraged to apply. Preferred areas of interest include (i) high-dimensional data; (ii) the foundations of data science; and (iii) complex dependence structures. We interpret each of these areas broadly. High-dimensional data analysis, for example, is motivated by modern, massive data sets that present computational, modeling, and/or statistical challenges. It is also motivated by data whose dimension is of the same order or exceeds the sample size. The foundations of data science include, for example, algorithmic modeling, large-scale computation, and theory for understanding algorithmic models and their evaluation, as well as related applications. Complex data structures include, as examples, data that are measured in space and time, live in non-standard spaces (functional data, shape data, network data), include individual heterogeneity (random effects), or have unmeasured covariates and unknown relationships (latent variable models). The appointment will be at a level commensurate with the applicant's experience. Applicants must specify the desired appointment rank in their cover letter. Education and Experience Requirements Required: A Ph.D. in Statistics or related field by the start of employment. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, in line with OSU's Shared Values<https://oaa.osu.edu/shared-values-initiative>. Desired: We expect a commitment to methodological research and scientific collaboration and to the development and delivery of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants at the Associate or Full rank are expected to have established an excellent record of research, mentorship, and service to the profession. How to Apply Please follow this link<https://osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/job/Columbus-Campus/Open-Searc…> for a full description of the position and application instructions. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.

LTI@UniTO Seminar: Diego Garcia | October 2, 2023 @ 12:00 - 13:00
by Luca Regis 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to invite you to the following seminar in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto (CCA), which will take place at CCA in Torino and can be followed via Zoom. At the event page link you can find the zoom link to attend online and a button to add the event to your calendars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 2nd @ 12.00 Speaker: Diego Garcia (University of Colorado Boulder) Title: New Consumption in the Wild Abstract: We study how market returns shape news consumption, employing 700 million pageviews over 27 months from Australia’s largest financial newspaper, the Australian Financial Review. Aggregate news consumption intensifies on days when the Australian market index decreases, led by a dramatic spike in consumption of markets news. By contrast, firm-specific news consumption declines when the aggregate market moves more (up or down). These findings imply aggregate and firm-specific news are substitutes for one another, consistent with theories of limited attention. These news consumption effects are strongest for fresh news, but they are also present for stale news articles on days when there are no articles about the firm. Joint with Tony Cookson and Elvis Jarnecic Event webpage link: https://www.carloalberto.org/event/diego-garcia-university-of-colorado-boul… Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89773170403?pwd=UDZDMS9BSzU5ckxqWG1yOGVzSkZzZz09#… <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86924691100?pwd=TGcxeGpoM0dTR1FxaU9hQVM1SmlnUT09> Best regards, Luca Regis
