Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/>)
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:

RELATORI: Domenico Marinucci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) e Anna Vidotto (Università di Napoli Federico II)
TITOLO: La geometria degli insiemi di escursione per campi aleatori Gaussiani.
RIASSUNTO: Obiettivo del seminario sarà di presentare una panoramica relativamente informale su alcuni risultati nell'analisi della geometria dei campi aleatori che sono stati ottenuti negli ultimi 10 anni circa. In particolare, si inizierà ricordando i risultati sulle curvature di Lipschitz-Killing di insiemi di escursione per campi Gaussiani (la Gaussian Kinematic Formula di Adler e Taylor); si proseguirà quindi con risultati per la varianza e teoremi del limite centrale nel regime di asintotica ad alta frequenza, discutendo anche le connessioni con altri campi della probabilità (in particolare, le espansioni in caos di Wiener ed il metodo di Stein-Malliavin). Se il tempo lo permetterà, si discuterà altresì la struttura di interdipendenza tra curvature di
Lipschitz-Killing e punti critici, con alcuni cenni agli sviluppi più recenti (la geometria dei fibrati aleatori) e alle motivazioni/applicazioni di questi risultati.
TITOLO: La geometria dei campi aleatori sfera-per-tempo.
RIASSUNTO: Obiettivo del mio seminario sarà introdurre un nuovo regime asintotico per lo studio di campi aleatori definiti sulla sfera unitaria e dipendenti dal tempo. Considereremo statistiche di diversi funzionali geometrici costruite a partire dagli insiemi di livello del campo aleatorio e definite su un arco temporale crescente. Vedremo che le loro proprietà asintotiche, in particolare varianza e distribuzione limite, dipenderanno da un’interazione tra memoria temporale e livello. Infine, discuteremo brevemente le possibili applicazioni di questi modelli e dei risultati enunciati ad uno studio statistico delle proprietà dei campi aleatori di partenza, e conseguenti risvolti pratici nel campo delle scienze del Clima.

Samuel LIVINGSTONE (UCL)
MONTE CARLO METHODS FOR STATISTICAL INFERENCE
Monte Carlo methods and sampling algorithms have had a profound effect on scientific research for the past 80 years. In the course we will discuss these approaches in the context of statistical inference. We will cover some mathematical preliminaries, the Monte Carlo method, and basic approaches to sample from a probability distribution in low dimensions, before motivating and introducing Markov chain Monte Carlo and the Metropolis—Hastings algorithm for high-dimensional sampling and Monte Carlo (MCMC). Afterwards we will discuss more advanced topics such as studying bias and variance of MCMC ergodic averages via mixing times, and more advanced algorithms such as adaptive and gradient-based methods.
--------------------------------------
The course will be held exclusively in person, according to the following schedule:
- Tue 7/5, h.14-16

“PhD on Statistical mechanics on random graphs and algorithms”
Job description
Random spin systems from statistical mechanics have been successfully
used to study critical behaviour at the interface of problems from
mathematics, physics, biology and computer science.
The measure describing the spin system gives the probability of likely
configurations. Phase transitions occur when tuning a parameter of the
system, in the sense that there are several Gibbs measures compatible
with the microscopic interactions. In recent years, there has been
enormous activity in order to study phase transitions for spin systems
on random graphs by rigorously characterizing the set of Gibbs
measures. Applications of such problems range from computational
complexity, coding theory, to machine learning.
This PhD project investigates statistical mechanics on random graphs
and algorithms. The focus is on properties of the q-state Potts model,
which is intimately related to random graph q-coloring and community
detection problems.
The project is a joint project between Prof. Remco van der Hofstad
(TU/e), Dr. Noela Müller (TU/e) and Dr. Wioletta Ruszel (UU).
Job requirements
We are looking for a candidate that brings the following:
a Master’s degree in mathematics;
excellent English language and communication skills;
knowledge of or affinity to physics and/or computer science is not
required but considered an advantage;
a demonstrable research-oriented experience, interest, or attitude.
Conditions of employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an

(go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on
teaching tasks.
Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and
maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the
Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €
2.770,- max. € 3.539,-).
A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a
self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you

Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a School and conference on
"Gradient Flows, Large Deviation Theory, and Macroscopic Fluctuation Theory“
which will take place *June 17-21 2024 at Bielefeld University* and is part
of the 2024 activity month "Fluctuations in interacting systems: From
optimal transport and Fokker–Planck equations to fluid dynamics and SPDEs“
of the collaborative research center 1283 (
https://www.sfb1283.uni-bielefeld.de/workshops/activitymonth/2024).
The overarching topic of the conference is the effective description of
large systems of interacting particles and their fluctuations around their
typical behaviour. This mathematical challenge is of fundamental importance
in a variety of applications, ranging from mathematical modelling in the
sciences, to the foundations of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and
the dynamics of modern learning algorithms. Addressing these questions
involves ideas from various disciplines in mathematics and physics. The
workshop will bring together both leading experts and junior researchers
from various fields, such as macroscopic fluctuation theory and
non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, interacting particle systems, large
deviation theory, gradient flows and variational methods for partial
differential equations, and stochastic partial differential equations.
The program will feature lecture series and talks by leading scientists as
well as opportunities for junior scientists to present their work.
For more details please see
