Subject: [owps] Bernoulli-IMS One World Symposium 2020: 24th to 28th of August.
Dear all,
as a reaction to the current situation, a virtual alternative to the postponed
2020 Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Seoul has been set up. The meeting will
allow all researchers from PhD student to established researchers to present
and discuss with the community their latest research on probability and
mathematical statistics!
Please join the
Bernoulli-IMS One World Symposium 2020, hold on 24th to 28th of August,
jointly organized by the Bernoulli Society, IMS and the One World Probability
Project. The symposium will be virtual with many new experimental features. No
registration fees apply!
The daily program will be arranged around live talks (each held twice to reach
the entire planet):
- 4 plenary lectures: Emmanuel Candes (Stanford), Martin Hairer (London),
Kerrie Mengersen (Queensland), Wendelin Werner (Zurich)
- 7 early career speakers
All researchers in the world are invited to submit abstracts for 10 minute
talks by July 13th which will be assessed by the 23 session chairs. Accepted
10 minute talks will have to be produced before August 9th. They will appear
on the website and the YouTube channel one week before the symposium. In slots
during the symposium, every speaker of a prerecorded 10 minute talk will have
the chance to discuss live with the audience in one of the 23 session zoom
rooms. It will never be easier to reach a large audience with the little
effort of producing a 10 minute video at home! It?s easy, just go for it!
To allow for discussions among participants, the symposium will run different
kinds of interactive events. Have you ever participated in a workshop
excursion of the world? Stay tuned!
Go to https://www.worldsymposium2020.org/ to see how you can participate and
don?t forget to submit your abstract before July 13th!
If you have questions, you can ask them after tomorrow's second OWPS talk of
Augusto in the main room (questions to the speakers as usual in the breakout
room).
Please redistribute this mail as you like!
All the best and ?see? you tomorrow or in August,
Andreas & Leif

To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk>
One World Probability Seminar Thursday 25th June 2020
Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are
------------------------------------------------------------
15.00: Augusto Teixeira (Rio): Random walks on dynamical random environments
with non-uniform mixing (Part 1)
16.00: Marcelo Hilário (Belo Horizonte): Random walks on dynamical random
environments with non-uniform mixing (Part 2)
The first talk will be a non-technical introduction to the subject.
------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: In these two consecutive talks we will discuss recent results on
the
limiting behavior of random walks on dynamical random environments. The
strength of these results depends a great deal on space-time mixing
properties
imposed to the environment but also on other features like the dimension and
the allowed transitions. In our case, we restrict ourselves to random walks
evolving on one-dimensional random environments given by conservative
interacting particle systems such as the simple symmetric exclusion process.
For this setting, conservation of particles leads to poor-mixing conditions
which complicates the applicability of some available tools. Our goal is to
explain how renormalization can be used to handle these difficulties in
order
to obtain law of large numbers, large deviation estimates. The first talk
will
be a non-technical introduction to the subject. In the second talk, we
provide
a more detailed idea of how to prove the results.
All the results were obtained on several joint works with Oriane Blondel,
Frank den Hollander, Daniel Kious, Renato dos Santos and Vladas
Sidoravicius.

Speaker: Lucio Galeati (University of Bonn)
Title: Regularisation by noise and notions of irregularity
June 26, 2020 (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA
The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the
following webpage
https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
Abstract:
A natural question in the field of regularisation by noise phenomena
is to understand under which conditions on a path $w$, the additively
perturbed ODE $x'=b(x)+w'$ is well-posed, even when its unperturbed
counterpart $x'=b(x)$ is not. In order to answer this question,
Catellier and Gubinelli (SPA 2016) introduced the theory of nonlinear
Young integrals and the concept of $\rho$-irregularity of $w$; they
also proved that fBm paths are $\rho$-irregular. In this talk, I will
first review their work and then present its more recent extensions.
The property of $\rho$-irregularity can be linked to the regularity of
the local time of $w$ and, in the case of Gaussian processes, can be
established under a suitable local non-determinism (LND) condition.
Moreover, it can be shown that $\rho$-irregular paths are necessarily
nowhere $\alpha$-Holder continuous, for suitable values
$\alpha=\alpha(\rho)$. This gives a rigorous proof of the frequently
observed paradigm "the rougher the noise, the better the
regularisation".
Based on joint works with Massiliano Gubinelli.

Title: The Widom-Rowlinson model: metastability, mesoscopic and microscopic
fluctuations for the critical droplet
3 JULY (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA
The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the
following webpage
https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
Abstract:
We introduce the equilibrium Widom-Rowlinson model on a two-dimensional
finite torus in which the energy of a particle configuration is attractive
and determined by the union of small discs centered at the positions of the
particles. We then discuss the metastable behaviour of a dynamic version of
the WR model. This means that the particle configuration is viewed as a
continuous time Markov process where particles are randomly created and
annihilated as if the outside of the torus were an infinite reservoir with
a given chemical potential. In particular, we start with the empty torus
and are interested in the first time when the torus is fully covered by
discs in the regime at low temperature and when the chemical potential is
supercritical. In order to achieve the transition from empty to full, the
system needs to create a sufficiently large droplet, called critical
droplet, which triggers the crossover. We compute the distribution of the
crossover time and identify the size and the shape of the critical droplet.
The analysis relies on a mesoscopic and microscopic description of the
surface of the critical droplet. It turns out that the critical droplet is
close to a disc of a certain deterministic radius, with a boundary that is
random and consists of a large number of small discs that stick out by a
small distance. We will show how the analysis of surface fluctuations in
the WR model allows us to derive the leading order term of the condensation
time and also the correction order term.
This is a joint work with Frank den Hollander (Leiden), Sabine Jansen
(Munich) and Roman Kotecky (Prague & Warwick).
