The summer school now has a webpage: https://www.math.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/talentos/school2019/index.html Please let us know if you find any mistakes or would like us to make any changes. A tentative schedule is up at https://www.math.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/talentos/school2019/tentativeschedule.h… Again, please let us know if you would like us to make any changes. 2. Lisbon has become a very touristy city so it is quite hard to make hotel reservations in the Summer. Could you please write to Teresa Burnay (email above) as soon as possible and give her your arrival and departure dates? It is ok if these are still tentative as reservations can be changed at a later date if needed. 3. We will announce the school on two probability lists ( Women.in.Prob(a)gmail.com, APPLIEDPROB(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK) with the email appended at the end of this message. Any help you can provide on spreading the word will be much appreciated. Best, Gustavo ———————— Dear colleagues, A summer school on Probability aimed at ***undergraduate students*** sponsored by the Gulbenkian Foundation will take place in Lisbon from September 2 to 6, 2019. It will consist of three 5 hour courses by Persi Diaconis, Evita Nestoridi and Perla Sousi. Participants are only required to be familiar with linear algebra and multi-variable calculus. More information can be found at https://www.math.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/talentos/school2019/ The Gulbenkian Foundation will provide a limited number of 500 euro grants to support the travel and accommodation expenses of foreign participants. The webpage above contains instructions on how to apply for funding. The deadline is June 23rd. If you have students who might profit from this summer school we would appreciate it if you could pass this information on to them. On behalf of the organising committee, Gustavo Granja

********************************************************************* SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA "G. PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* Mercoledì 22 Maggio 2019, alle ore 11:30, presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G.Peano" (via Carlo Alberto 10, Torino), si terrà il seguente seminario (Aula 5): Luis GIL-ALANA (Navarra University) Title: LONG MEMORY AND FRACTIONAL INTEGRATION. AN OVERVIEW Abstract We present two definitions of long memory and focus on a particular model that satisfies this property which is called fractional integration. Alternative fractionally integrated models dealing with issues such as seasonality, structural breaks, cycliclity and non-linerities are presented and several estimation and testing methods are proposed. A number of empirical applications will also be discussed at the end of the talk. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di K. Mallick a Roma 1

15 May '19

Buongiorno vi riporto l'annuncio per un seminario congiunto di Fisica Matematica e Probabilità a Roma La Sapienza (v. sotto). Saluti Alessandra ************************************************************************************* Mercoledì 22 Maggio, ore 16:00, Aula di Consiglio Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma Speaker: Kirone Mallick (Institut de Physique Théorique, Parigi) Title: Continuous-time Quantum Walks Abstract: Quantum analogs of classical random walks have been defined in quantum information theory as a useful concept to implement algorithms. Due to interference effects, statistical properties of quantum walks can drastically differ from their classical counterparts, leading to much faster computations. In this talk, we shall discuss various statistical properties of continuous-time quantum walks on a lattice, such as: survival properties of quantum particles in the presence of traps (i.e. a quantum generalization of the Donsker-Varadhan stretched exponential law), the growth of a quantum population in the presence of a source, quantum return probabilities and Loschmidt echoes. ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Update: "The Mathematics and Statistics of Wealth and Income Distributions" at AMMCS 2019
by Enrico Scalas 13 May '19

13 May '19

Dear Colleagues, The deadline for the submission of abstracts has been postponed to 25 May 2019. Please find the announcement below and apologies for cross-posting. Best wishes, Enrico -- Dear Colleagues, At AMMCS 2019 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, August 18-23, 2019, with Taisei Kaizoji (ICU Tokyo), I am organising a special session on: The Mathematics and Statistics of Wealth and Income Distributions Research on microscopic stochastic models of economic systems and their kinetic, mean-field and hydrodynamic limits have recently gained a lot of momentum. The focus of this special session is to highlight recent advances on stochastic, kinetic and PDE modelling in the area of wealth and income distributions as well as methodologies for model estimates, including Bayesian techniques. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 25 May 2019. Useful links: Conference webpage: http://ammcs.wlu.ca/ Special session webpage: http://ammcs.wlu.ca/special-sessions/mswid/ Deadlines: http://ammcs.wlu.ca/deadlines-payment/ Please, feel free to forward this message to interested persons.

Colloquium di Luca Trevisan a Roma Tre il 12/06/19
by Pietro Caputo 13 May '19

COLLOQUIUM DI MATEMATICA Luca Trevisan U.C. Berkeley Titolo: Some simple distributed network processes Mercoledi' 12 Giugno 2019 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula M3, edificio Aule - Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract We will describe network processes in which, at each step, each node communicates with its neighbors, or a random subset of neighbors, and updates its state according to the outcome of these communications. We will first talk about processes in which each node updates its state to be "more like" the state of the neighbors. In a complete communication network, such protocols provide a solution to the problem of reaching a consensus, and they do so in a way that is robust to adversarial interventions. In a communication network with a clustered structure, such protocols give a decentralized solution to the community detection problem. We will then discuss a protocol in which each node wants to choose a constant number of neighbors in such a way that the resulting constant-degree subnet of the communication network is an expander. This is done in a way to similar to how virtual networks are formed in peer-to-peer protocols. We show that if the original communication network is a dense expanders, the protocol will construct a constant-degree expander. (Based on joint work with Luca Becchetti, Andrea Clementi, Pasin Manurangsi, Emanuele Natale, Francesco Pasquale and Prasad Raghavendra.)
