Call for abstracts : Numerical methods and quantitative finance: new perspectives and applications @AMASES
by Daniele Marazzina 17 May '18

17 May '18

Con preghiera di diffusione >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Colleagues, a session entitled Numerical methods and quantitative finance: new perspectives and applications(NM)<http://amases2018.uniparthenope.it/files/NM.pdf> will take place during the AMASES Annual Conference, which will be held in Naples on September 13-15, 2018 (http://amases2018.uniparthenope.it/) In recent years the research for mathematical tools to be applied in financial contexts has gained additional importance. In fact the latest financial crisis has highlighted the need for a more scientific approach to the problem of pricing and risk control. Moreover, we can now take advantage of more advanced statistical and mathematical skills and of the availability of numerical techniques and faster computer systems. The aim of this special session is to discuss recent advances and application in this field. Theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. It is a great pleasure to invite you to submit an extended abstract. To be considered for the session, please submit your abstract by specifying the session code (NM) in the file name (NM-[surname of author who will present the paper].pdf). Please refer to the official web page of the conference for further details on the submission. Important dates: May 30, 2018: deadline for abstract submission June 11, 2018: notification of acceptance June 18, 2018: early registration July 2, 2018: late registration For information, please contact: Chiara Guardasoni - chiara.guardasoni(a)unipr.it Daniele Marazzina - daniele.marazzina(a)polimi.it Simona Sanfelici - simona.sanfelici(a)unipr.it We are looking forward to meeting you in Naples. Best regards Chiara Guardasoni, Daniele Marazzina, Simona Sanfelici

Seminario di G. Giacomin a Milano-Bicocca (29 maggio 2018)
by Francesco Caravenna 17 May '18

17 May '18

Martedì 29 maggio 2018 alle ore 14:30 Giambattista Giacomin (Université Paris Diderot) terrà un seminario dal titolo "On phase transitions in disordered systems and singular behavior of Lyapunov exponents" Aula 3014, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni (edificio U5, terzo piano, via Cozzi 55, Milano) Università di Milano-Bicocca Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: Understanding the effect of disorder on phase transitions and crtical phenomena is a challenging problem that has been repeatedly considered in the phyisics literature. In this domain there is a highly non trivial model that takes the center stage because it is considered to be «exactly solvable». It is the two dimensional Ising model with a special type of disorder («columnar disorder»). I will provide an introduction to this model and to what has been conjectured about it. I will also explain why the exact solvability claim is an overstatement. The solvability aspect in fact is limited to the reduction of the problem to another one - the computation of the Lyapunov exponent of a certain product of two by two random matrices - that seems (and probably is) much easier. In collaboration with Francis Comets and Rafael Greenblatt, we have made some progress toward understanding this product of random matrices. The main aim of the talk is explaining these results and what they imply on the two dimensional Ising model with columnar disorder. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

Colloquium di Balint Toth a Roma Tre il 23 maggio alle 16
by Pietro Caputo 15 May '18

COLLOQUIUM DI MATEMATICA Balint Toth (University of Bristol, UK and Renyi Institute, Budapest) Titolo: Invariance principle for the random Lorentz gas beyond the [Boltzmann-Grad / Gallavotti-Spohn] limit Mercoledi' 23 Maggio 2018 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula F, primo piano, edificio Aule - Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract Let hard ball scatterers of radius $r$ be placed in $mathbb R^d$, centred at the points of a Poisson point process of intensity $rho$. The volume fraction $r^d rho$ is assumed to be sufficiently low so that with positive probability the origin is not trapped in a finite domain fully surrounded by scatterers. The Lorentz process is the trajectory of a point-like particle starting from the origin with randomly oriented unit velocity subject to elastic collisions with the fixed (infinite mass) scatterers. The question of diffusive scaling limit of this process is a major open problem in classical statistical physics. Gallavotti (1969) and Spohn (1978) proved that under the so-called Boltzmann-Grad limit, when $r to 0$, $rho to infty$ so that $r^{d-1}rho to 1$ and the time scale is fixed, the Lorentz process (described informally above) converges to a Markovian random flight process, with independent exponentially distributed free flight times and Markovian scatterings. It is essentially straightforward to see that taking a second diffusive scaling limit (after the Gallavotti-Spohn limit) yields invariance principle. I will present new results going beyond the [Boltzmann-Grad / Gallavotti-Spohn] limit, in $d=3$: Letting $r to 0$, $rho to infty$ so that $r^{d-1}rho to 1$ (as in B-G) and simultaneously rescaling time by $T sim r^{-2+epsilon}$ we prove invariance principle (under diffusive scaling) for the Lorentz trajectory. Note that the B-G limit and diffusive scaling are done simultaneously and not in sequel. The proof is essentially based on control of the effect of re-collisions by probabilistic coupling arguments. The main arguments are valid in $d=3$ but not in $d=2$. Joint work with Chris Lutsko (Bristol)
