avviso di seminario
by Marco Fuhrman 08 May '14

08 May '14

Il giorno martedi' 20 maggio 2014, alle ore 12:00, il professor Jean Jacod Universite' Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris terra' un seminario dal titolo Is a discretely observed semimartingale of Ito type? presso il Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano (aula seminari "Fausto Saleri", sesto piano). Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati. Marco Fuhrman Abstract. In high-frequency statistics, and among various hypotheses, the fact that the underlying observed process is an Ito semimartingale is always assumed. However, for financial data for example, prices should be semimartingales (because of the "fundamental asset pricing theorem"), but there is no reason why it should be an Ito semimartingale. So it is important to derive tests for checking whether this assumption is enforced, or not. The problem cannot be solved in full generality, but we will see that under some restrictive structural assumptions, plus the fact that the process is continuous, some tests can be constructed. This is joint work with Yacine Ait-Sahalia.

seminario di Z. Brzezniak a Pisa
by Marco Romito 07 May '14

07 May '14

Il giorno 13 maggio 2014, alle ore 9:30, presso la sala seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pisa, si terrà il seguente seminario: Z. Brezniak (University of York): Invariant measures for stochastic Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains via bw-Feller property Abstract: In this talk I will describe a general result on the existence of invariant measure for Markov processes having the bw-Feller property and will show how this can be applied to stochastic Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains. This talk is based on joint works with M. Ondrejat and Ela Motyl. The results presented are in some sense generalisations of related results for stochastic nonlinear beam and wave equations (where a Pritchard-Zabczyk trick playes an essential role) obtained in a joint woth with M. Ondrejat and J. Seidler. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. m.

seminario Ruodu Wang in Bicocca
by fabio.bellini 07 May '14

07 May '14

Il giorno martedì 13 maggio alle ore 15.00 presso la aula seminari del Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi della Università di Milano Bicocca, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il dott. Ruodu Wang della Università di Waterloo (Canada) terrà un seminario su: Admissible distributions of risk aggregation Abstract Modeling inter-dependence between individual risks often faces statistical as well as probabilistic challenges, in which dependence uncertainty naturally arises. In this talk, we consider problems of risk aggregation with dependence uncertainty. The core question of interest is to characterize admissible distributions of risk aggregation, where marginal distributions of individual risks are assumed known but the joint dependence structure is unknown. In the first part of the talk, we will summarize finite dimensional results based on the notion of joint mixability, and discuss their relevance to optimization problems in risk management. In the second part of the talk, we will study asymptotic problems of admissible risk aggregation with identical margins. The results are concise and, in the meanwhile, surprising. We hope to deliver the following message: with the marginal distribution known and dependence structure unknown, we know essentially nothing about the asymptotic shape of the sum of random variables. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Fabio Bellini
