Seminaio di N. Torri a Milano-Bicocca (11 gen 2018)
by Francesco Caravenna 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Giovedì 11 gennaio 2018 alle ore 15:30 Niccolò Torri (Université Paris 6 - Pierre et Marie Curie) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Scaling limit of the prudent random walk" 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 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The self-interacting self-avoiding random walk (ISAW) is a mathematical model introduced for studying the behavior of a polymer dipped in a repulsive solvent. In this model the possible spatial configurations of the polymer are provided by self-avoiding walk trajectories. However, self avoiding walks, especially in dimension 2 and 3, are complicated objects. This is the reason why, in the mathematical literature, the ISAW model was studied for sub-families of self-avoiding walks, as for instance the partially directed self-avoiding walk. A natural generalization of the partially directed self-avoiding walk is given by the so called "prudent random walk". A prudent path a non-directed self-avoiding path which cannot take a step towards a previously visited lattice site. The prudent self-avoiding walk has attracted the attention of the combinatorial and probabilistic community over recent years and already the 2-dimensional case presents challenging issues. In this talk we consider two of such issues, concerning the scaling limit as well as exponential growth rate of the set of prudent paths, making a link with the general context of the ISAW model. Joint work with N. Pétrélis and R. Sun %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _________________________________________ 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/ _________________________________________

Post-Doc research grant in Padova
by Tiziano Vargiolu 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

(sorry for possible cross-postings) Dear all, the Interdepartmental Centre "Giorgio Levi Cases" for Energy, Economics and Technology (University of Padova) issues a research grant on the topic "Capacity markets and the definition of the value of Reliability Options" to be performed at the Department of Mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Tiziano Vargiolu (as the scientific responsible), in cooperation with Prof. Fulvio Fontini, of the Department of Economics and Management. - duration: 27 month; - deadline: January 18, 2017 - topic: In energy markets, it is of particular interest the problem of a fair evaluation of Reliability Options (RO), namely, physical call options derived on electricity, issued by generators and acquired by a subject to hedge adequacy risk of power generation. The aim of this grant is to define a fair pricing of RO, which requires techniques which go beyond those classically used in financial markets to price and hedge derivative assets. - call for grant: http://www.math.unipd.it/it/news/?id=2152 The English version is at the bottom (2 downloadable files). The successful candidate will not have teaching duties (however, there is in principle the possibility to teach, if wanted) and will have access to the Department's fundings for travel.
