Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Dott. MICHAEL HINZ (Department of Mathematics, Bielefeld University) terrà un seminario dal titolo CALCULUS, STOCHASTIC PROCESSES AND GEOMETRY WITHOUT SMOOTHNESS Abstract: The talk deals with analysis and stochastic processes on fully singular spaces (i.e. singular at every or almost every point). In the first part we give a brief introduction to the subject which was started in the late eighties and early nineties by Goldstein, Kusuoka, Barlow, Bass, Kigami and others and is now referred to as 'Analysis on fractals'. Markov processes and their energy functionals (Dirichlet forms) play a key role. In the second part we explain some interrelations between stochastic analysis and items of differential geometry, point out some recent results and applications. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Federico Polito Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto, 10 10123, Torino, Italy Email: federico.polito(a)unito.it Tel: +39 011 6702937 Web: www.federicopolito.it

Bicocca Winter School on SINGULAR STOCHASTIC PDEs
by Francesco Caravenna 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

RECENT BREAKTHROUGHS IN SINGULAR STOCHASTIC PDEs Bicocca Winter School (2-6 February 2015) The aim of this school is to present some recent breakthroughs in the theory of non-linear stochastic PDEs, that allow to give a rigorous meaning to some important singular equations for which classical methods fail, due to the irregularity of the noise. Examples include the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1d, the equation of stochastic quantization in 3d, the parabolic Anderson model in 2d. The school is mainly targeted at PhD students and young researchers. There will be two mini-courses by Massimiliano Gubinelli (Université Paris Dauphine) and Lorenzo Zambotti (Université Pierre et Marie Curie), presenting different approaches but discussing analogous examples. The venue of the school is the Department of Mathematics and Applications of the University of Milano-Bicocca.

Giovanni Jona-Lasinio Universita' La Sapienza Titolo: Macroscopic fluctuation theory: an introduction and some applications Martedi' 18 Novembre 2014 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre AULA 311 (SEMINARI) Abstract: The macroscopic fluctuation theory, proposed in collaboration with L. Bertini. A. De Sole, D. Gabrielli and C. Landim to study diffusive systems out of equilibrium, developed over the last decade into a powerful tool to solve concrete problems. After discussing the basic ideas I will illustrate some applications among which the existence of phase transitions in the behaviour of fluctuations. Of special interest are the fluctuations of the current in stationary states. New variational principles appear in the thermodynamics of non-equilibrium stationary states.

de Finetti risk seminar - november 2014
by Emanuela Rosazza 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lectures at 16:30: Conditional systemic risk measures Thilo Meyer-Brandis (LMU Munich) ABSTRACT The financial crisis has demonstrated that systemic risk due to the interconnectedness of financial-market participants - such as financial institutions, insurers, governments and, even, regulators themselves - can dramatically amplify the consequences of isolated shocks to financial systems and pose a serious threat to prosperity and social stability.The traditional approach to risk control in financial mathematics is to apply risk measures to single institutions. However, this strategy fails to capture systemic risk because it treats institutions as if they were in isolation, and recent literature in financial mathematics has started to develop various approaches to rectify this deficiency. In this presentation we will axiomatically introduce and characterize risk-consistent conditional systemic risk measures. This class of conditional systemic risk measures is defined on multidimensional risks and consists of those conditional systemic risk measures which can be decomposed into a state-wise conditional aggregation and a univariate conditional risk measure. Our studies are based on the axiomatic characterization in [Chen et al., 2013] of a similar class of systemic risk measures in a finite state and unconditional framework. We argue in favor of a conditional framework on general probability spaces for assessing systemic risk. Moreover, we allow for very general aggregation rules, a less restrictive axiomatic setting, and thus a more flexible structure which covers many prominent examples of systemic risk measures from the literature and used in practice. Further, we will see how this type of systemic risk measures naturally arises when considering families of consistent conditional systemic risk measures and discuss some examples. at 18:00: Mathematical models for the formation of financial bubbles Francesca Biagini (LMU Munich) ABSTRACT The notion of an asset price bubble has two ingredients. One is the observed market price of a given financial asset, the other is the asset's intrinsic value, and the bubble is defined as the difference between the two. The intrinsic value, also called the fundamental value of the asset, is usually defined as the expected sum of future discounted dividends. In the first part of the talk we study a flow in the space of equivalent martingale measures and focus on the corresponding shifting perception of the fundamental value of a given asset in an incomplete financial marketmodel. This allows us to capture the birth of a perceived bubble and to describe it as an initial submartingale which then turns into a supermartingale before it falls back to its initial value zero. In the second part of the talk we examine the impact of overconfidence on bubbles formation in the framework of reduced-form models for credit risk. We assume that the wealth associated to a defaultable asset may be strongly affected by the trading activity of overconfident investors, who believe the asset to be safe and provoke an alteration of its estimated value. Since the value process changes under this influence, the underlying pricing measure has also to readapt determining a switch in the space of the equivalent martingale measures. In this way we provide a constructive approach to explain bubbles formation as well as motivate a dynamics in the space of equivalent martingale measures at micro-economic level. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, November 19, starting from 16.30, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30. Scientific Committee: Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Massimo Marinacci (Univ.

seminario di Alessandro Gnoatto presso Prometeia - Bologna
by Giacomo Scandolo 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Il giorno Martedì 18 Novembre 2014, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna Alessandro Gnoatto (Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Interest rate modelling after the financial crisis" Abstract In the first part of the talk we proceed to review the main changes in the interbank interest rate market after the financial crisis. We present the most relevant empirical evidences: divergence between different interbank rates, failure of the standard FRA replication argument, emergence of basis swap spreads. Secondly, we quickly review the valuation of contingent claims under collateralization, which constitutes the market practice for interest rate products in the post-crisis world and forms the basis for multiple curve valuation. In the second part of the talk we propose a general framework for modelling multiple yield curves. In a general semimartingale setting, we provide an HJM approach to model the term structure of multiplicative spreads between FRA rates and simply compounded OIS risk-free forward rates. We derive an HJM drift and consistency condition ensuring absence of arbitrage and, in addition, we show how to construct models such that multiplicative spreads are greater than one and ordered with respect to the tenor's length. When the driving semimartingale is an affine process, we obtain a flexible and tractable Markovian structure. Finally, we show that the proposed framework allows to unify and extend several recent approaches to multiple yield curve modelling. The talk is based on joint works with C. Cuchiero, and C. Fontana.
