Seminar Chiarini at Tor Vergata, February 2
by Michele Salvi 29 Jan '26

29 Jan '26

Dear all, On Monday, February 2nd, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Alberto Chiarini (Università di Padova) with the seminar "Fluctuations of the Simple Exclusion Process on Point Processes” Abstract: The simple exclusion process is one of the most prominent models of interacting particle systems. In this seminar, we consider a resistor network whose nodes are sampled according to a simple point process on R^d and are connected by certain conductances. On top of this resistor network, particles move according to random walks with the rule that there is at most one particle per site. Under soft assumptions on the point process measure and conductances, which include ergodicity, stationarity and certain moment conditions, it is known that the empirical density of particles converges for almost all realisation of the environment to the solution of an heat equation with a certain homogenised diffusivity. In this talk, we examine its equilibrium fluctuations. For d≥3, under the same assumptions that ensure the hydrodynamical limit, we show that the empirical density fluctuation field converges for almost all realisation of the environment, in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions, to a generalised Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. For d=2, if we require some additional regularity on the environment to have Hölder regularity estimates for solutions to parabolic problems, we can show that the same conclusion holds. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Dear all, I would like to bring to your attention the short course "Advanced Topics in Stochastic Modeling and Statistics" (12 hours). I will teach this course in person at IMT Lucca https://www.imtlucca.it/homepage, but it is also possible to attend it online. The course is divided into six lessons in the period April 16-27 2026. The course deals with the following topics: - Conditional expectation (definition, properties); - Martingales and co. (definitions and basic properties, Burkholder transform, stopping theorem and some applications, predictable compensator and Doob decomposition, some convergence results, game theory interpretation, variants); - Introduction to stochastic processes with reinforcement (definition, applications, classical models, recent models, including models with interaction, related statistical tools, ongoing research). Participation in the course is free. Registration as a visiting student is required, following the instructions at https://www.imtlucca.it/corsi-visiting-students Once registered, the class schedule will be provided. Interested students can contact me for further details Best, Irene Crimaldi

Open Ph.D. position at the University of Luxembourg
by Giovanni Peccati 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Dear Colleagues, The *Department of Mathematics* of the *University of Luxembourg* (*DMATH*) is seeking an excellent candidate for a *PhD position* in the area of *Mathematical Statistics*, with an expected starting date in *2026*. *-----------------------* *Supervisor:* Prof. *Yannick Baraud* (https://math.uni.lu/baraud/Home.html) *PhD topic:* *Classical Bayesian methods can be used to construct estimators with good statistical properties. For example, when the data are i.i.d. and come from a distribution belonging to a parameterised model with a suitable prior distribution, numerous studies show that the posterior distribution is concentrated around the parameter associated with the distribution of the data.* *Despite their popularity, these methods nevertheless have certain limitations. In particular, when the data-generating distribution does not belong to the family of distributions chosen as the model, the estimators obtained may be of poor quality, even when the model provides a good approximation of the truth. This situation can arise, for example, when the sample contains a few outliers due to measurement or transcription errors. More generally, it occurs when the statistical model is only a simplification of reality, which is often the case in practice. The statistical method is then said to suffer from a lack of robustness as it produces unstable estimators that are sensitive to small deviations from the assumed model.* *In this PhD proposal, we offer the opportunity to study a robust alternative to classical Bayesian methods. This is a recent approach, the main properties of which were established in [1] in the context of density estimation. The aim of this PhD proposal is to understand the mathematics behind these new techniques and to extend it beyond density estimation. * *A candidate for this position must have a strong background in analysis, probability and mathematical statistics as well as a taste for theory. * [1] Y. Baraud. From robust tests to Bayes-like posterior distributions. Probab. Theory Related Fields, 188(1-2):159–234, 2024. --------------------------- The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment with strong international collaborations and access to high-level scientific infrastructure. For further details concerning the position, application procedure, and eligibility requirements, please contact directly Prof. Baraud at the address yannick.baraud(a)uni.lu Please feel free to circulate this announcement within your networks.

seminar Claudio Macci 30/01/26 - Pavia

26 Jan '26

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar, by Claudio Macci on Friday 30 january 2026, starting at 11 am. Titles and abstract are below. With best regards, Enrico Priola ---- Friday 30 january 2026 at 11 am - Aula Beltrami, via Ferrata 5, Università di Pavia Link Zoom https://unipv-it.zoom.us/j/95012043373?pwd=VaSaGaIDZQnbVWixaqeDzI4uhY5H2I.1 ID riunione: 950 1204 3373 Codice d’accesso: 789010 Speaker: Claudio Macci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) TITLE Some recent large deviation results on random neural networks ABSTRACT In this talk, I consider random neural networks with Gaussian weights and biases. A well-known result (proved under various assumptions in several references) concerns the convergence in distribution of the network output, in the infinite-width limit, to a centered Gaussian process with i.i.d. components (with the depth $L$ kept fixed). I will present some large deviation results describing a collapse of the network output (which, as expected, converges to the zero vector) when it is multiplied by a scaling factor tending to zero; see [1], where moderate deviations are also studied. In the final part, I will briefly outline some results in a very recent work (see [2]) concerning the deep limit (that is, as $L\to\infty$) for a generic component of the Gaussian process mentioned above.
