Pisa Online Seminar by Tyler Helmuth (Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 14:00)
by Giacomo Filippo Di Gesu 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Dear colleagues, I would like to announce the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa: Tuesday, Sept. 29, 14:00 on Microsoft Teams (the link will be sent in a forthcoming email) 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 _____________________ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it

Webinar Passeggeri @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar: Date: Thursday, September 24, h12:00 Speaker: Riccardo Passeggeri (Sorbonne University) Title: On a class of completely random measures (CRMs) and its role in Bayesian analysis. The seminar will be mixed online and in-presence: - anybody can attend the seminar at the following link: https://zoom.us/j/92000724531 - members of Bocconi University can attend the meeting in presence at Roentgen building, floor -1, room AS-02, subject to appropriate prevention measures such as social distancing. Abstract: Quasi-infinitely divisible (QID) distributions have been recently introduced by Lindner, Pan and Sato (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 370 (2018) 8483-8520). A random variable X is QID if and only if there exist two infinitely divisible (ID) random variables Y and Z s.t. X +Y = Z (in distribution) and Y is independent of X. In this talk, we present QID random measures, describe their properties and their role in Bayesian analysis. In particular, we show that QID random measures are dense in the space of all CRMs with respect to convergence in distribution. In other words, *any CRM can be approximated in distribution by a QID random measure*. Moreover, we demonstrate that there exists a one to one correspondence between the law of QID random measures and certain characteristic pairs (as it happens for the Poisson point processes). That is, *the characteristic function of a QID random measure has an explicit formulation written in terms of two (unique) deterministic objects*. Finally, we present a nonparametric Bayesian statistical framework based on QID random measures, which extends recent works of Michael Jordan, Tamara Broderick, Trevor Campbell and co-authors. Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella
