Dear colleagues, I would like to announce the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa. The talks will be accessible under the link Join Microsoft Teams Meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a17115d7f6ef44c5e91974362906c…> <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> Best regards, Giacomo <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> Tuesday, Oct. 13, 14:00 Speaker: Mauro Mariani Title: Quasi-invariant measures for a model of evolutionary biology Abstract: I will discuss a class of random models for the genetic evolution of a population of individuals with asexual reproduction. Formally, this is a diffusion process on an infinite-dimensional simplex. subject to absorption. It has been largely investigated in the past, both numerically and analytically as a model for the Muller's ratchet. We prove the existence and uniqueness of quasi-invariant measures describing the long-time behavior of the genetic distribution of the population, conditioned to non-extinction. The seminar is mostly based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.14715 Tuesday, Oct. 13, 15:00 Speaker: Marielle Simon Title: Hydrodynamic limit for a facilitated exclusion process Abstract: In this talk we will be interested in a one-dimensional exclusion process subject to strong kinetic constraints, which belongs to the class of cooperative kinetically constrained lattice gases. More precisely, its stochastic short range interaction exhibits a continuous phase transition to an absorbing state at a critical value of the particle density. We will see that the macroscopic behavior of this microscopic dynamics, under periodic boundary conditions and diffusive time scaling, is ruled by a non-linear PDE belonging to free boundary problems (or Stefan problems). One of the ingredients is to show that the system typically reaches an ergodic component in subdiffusive time. Based on joint works with O. Blondel, C. Erignoux and M. Sasada

Aggiornamento: il Seminario di Probabilita' di Roma Tre del 12-10-2020 (Thomas Finn) si terra' in modalita' Mista

SEMINARIO Probabilita' Thomas Finn (University of Bath) Titolo: Non-equilibrium multi-scale analysis and coexistence in competing first passage percolation Lunedi' 12 Ottobre 2020 ORE 14:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Abstract We consider a natural random growth process with competition on Z^d called first passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE), in which two processes compete for the occupancy of sites. The first starts at the origin and spreads through the edges of Z^d at rate 1, while the second is initially dormant in seeds, which are distributed as a product of Bernoulli random variables of parameter p on Z^d, and grows from a seed at rate lambda>0 once either process attempts to occupy that seed. Depending on the value of p and lamba, the model observes a rich behaviour with multiple phase transitions. We prove that there is a coexistence phase in which both processes occupy a positive density of sites, which is a stark contrast to the behaviour of other competition models on Z^d. In studying FPPHE, we introduce a novel approach to multi-scale analysis that can be used to analyse processes with non-equilibrium dynamics. Indeed, FPPHE lacks both equilibrium dynamics and monotonicity (adding a seed could benefit the first process), preventing the use of a more standard multi-scale approach. In this talk, we outline our main results for FPPHE and provide an overview for how this new multi-scale approach can be applied. Il seminario si svolgera' in modalita' MISTA: IN PRESENZA: presso l'aula 211, palazzina C di Largo San Leonardo Murialdo 1. La capienza massima dell'aula e' di circa 10 persone; preghiamo chi intenda partecipare in presenza di scrivere un messaggio a astauffer(a)mat.uniroma3.it DA REMOTO: Per partecipare al seminario cliccare sul seguente link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTk4MzI5MzktY2EzNS00…

---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Ivan Corwin <ivan.corwin(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 30 set 2020 alle ore 09:03 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday October 1, 2020 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> One World Probability Seminar Thursday October 1, 2020: Tomorrow's speaker in the One World Probability Seminar is (Note: all times are in UTC) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Rongfeng Sun (National University of Singapore): Scaling limits of disorder relevant systems. Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of continuum and weak disorder scaling limits of statistical mechanics systems which are disorder relevant, that is, disorder perturbations of an underlying pure system that alter its large scale behaviour, however small is the perturbation. Examples include the directed polymer model in dimension 1, the disordered pinning model, and the random field perturbation of the critical two-dimensional Ising model. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Adam Bowditch (University College Dublin): The two-dimensional continuum random field Ising model. Abstract: The critical two-dimensional Ising model with random field perturbation acting as site disorder is a well known example of a disorder relevant system. If the disorder strength is suitably weakened as the lattice mesh is refined then the model admits a continuum scaling limit. I will discuss this procedure and compare the continuum model with and without the random field perturbation. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It is can also be directly access through the link below: https://impa-br.zoom.us/j/96846977028?pwd=QVFpcUVkSFpNQnFjZXhoMWJzWEhaQT09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimpa-br.z…> Please feel free to circulate this email.

Link to Tyler Helmuth's talk (Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 14:00)
by Giacomo Filippo Di Gesu 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

Dear colleagues, the previously announced seminar by Tyler Helmuth will be accessible under the following link: Join Microsoft Teams Meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3af828e8fe540e4d39b10802fc3edd…> Tuesday, Sept. 29, 14:00 Speaker: Tyler Helmuth Title: Random spanning forests and hyperbolic symmetry Abstract: The arboreal gas is the probability measure that arises from conditioning the random subgraph given by Bernoulli(p) bond percolation to be a spanning forest, i.e., to contain no cycles. This conditioning makes sense on any finite graph G, and in the case p=1/2 gives the uniform measure on spanning forests. The arboreal gas also arises as a q—> 0 limit of the q-state random cluster model. What are the percolative properties of these forests? This turns out to be a surprisingly rich question, and I will discuss what is known and conjectured. I will also describe a tool for studying connection probabilities, the magic formula, which arises due to an important connection between the arboreal gas and spin systems with hyperbolic symmetry. Based on joint work with Roland Bauerschmidt, Nick Crawford, and Andrew Swan. Best regards, Giacomo
