Dear colleagues,
We currently have a vacancy for a 2-year PostDoc position in the Mathematical Statistics group at TU Eindhoven.
The position comes with light educational duties but it is not attached to a specific research project. Therefore, there is considerable freedom for the candidate to independently pursue their own research agenda, as long as it has a good embedding within the research activities of the group.
Here is the website with the job description: link <https://jobs.…
[View More]tue.nl/en/vacancy/postdoc-in-mathematical-statistics-1119766.h…>. The submission deadline is December 1, 2024. I would appreciate it if you could help us circulate the announcement and forward it to potentially interested candidates.
Thank you very much, and best wishes,
Elisa

Stanislav Smirnov (medaglia Fields 2010) terra' un seminario dal titolo
"Coulomb gas and lattice models" il giorno mercoledi' 6 novembre, ore 16:00.
Il seminario si terra' in Aula M1, Blocco Aule Lungotevere Dante 376
Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre
Abstract: Even before the introduction of Conformal Field Theory by
Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov, it appeared indirectly in the work of
den Nijs and Nienhuis using Coulomb gas techniques. The latter …
[View More]postulate
(unrigorously) that height functions of lattice models converge to the
Gaussian Free Field, allowing to derive many exponents and dimensions of 2D
lattice models.
This convergence is in many ways mysterious, in particular it was never
formulated in the presence of a boundary, but rather on a torus or a
cylinder.
We will discuss possible formulations on general domains or Riemann
surfaces and their relations to CFT, SLE and conformal invariance of
critical lattice models.
Interestingly, new objects in complex geometry and potential theory seem to
arise.

Via della Vasca Navale 84, Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Universita'
degli Studi roma Tre, AULA B
*Relatore*: Amitai Linker (Universidad Andrés Bello, Santiago, Cile)
*Titolo*: "The contact process on dynamic scale-free networks"
*Abstract*: In this talk, I will present recent results on the contact
process on two specific types of scale-free, inhomogeneous random networks
that evolve either through edge resampling or by resampling …
[View More]entire
neighborhoods of vertices. Depending on the type of graph, the selected
stationary dynamic, the tail exponent of the degree distribution, and the
updating rate, we identify parameter regimes that result in either fast or
slow extinction. In the latter case, we determine metastable exponents that
exhibit first-order phase transitions. This is joint work with Emmanuel
Jacob (ENS Lyon) and Peter Mörters (Universität zu Köln).

Dear All,
The *Journal of Theoretical Probability* has recently launched a topical
collection titled *"Non-Markov Dynamics and Non-Local Operators"* https
://link.springer.com/collections/fhbhjheefi. This initiative responds to
the growing interest in modeling anomalous phenomena, such as anomalous
relaxations and diffusions. The scope of this theory encompasses various
aspects of random processes, including, but not limited to, semi-Markov
processes, continuous-time random walks, (generalized)…
[View More] fractional Brownian
motions, long-range dependent processes, and non-Gaussian measures.
This topical collection invites submissions on recent advances in these
areas broadly, including works focused on specific classes of non-Markov
processes or non-local operators with potential applications in probability
theory.
Submissions for publication are now open. All submitted papers will follow
the journal’s standard peer-review process. The review will be managed by
the Editors-in-Chief, myself, and Dr. Giacomo Ascione as guest editor.
Please feel free to share this announcement: https://link.springer.com

[ENGLISH BELOW] Con preghiera di diffusione,

la Dr. Alice Giampino, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, terrà un seminario dal titolo
A Bayesian Model for Co-clustering Ordinal Data with Informative Missing Entries
Abstract: Several approaches have been proposed in the literature for clustering multivariate ordinal data. These methods …
[View More]typically treat missing values as absent information, rather than recognizing them as valuable for profiling population characteristics. To address this gap, we introduce a Bayesian nonparametric model for co-clustering multivariate ordinal data that treats censored observations as informative, rather than merely missing. We demonstrate that this offers a significant improvement in understanding the underlying structure of the data. Our model exploits the flexibility of two independent Dirichlet processes, allowing us to infer potentially distinct subpopulations that characterize the latent structure of both subjects and variables. The ordinal nature of the data is addressed by introducing latent variables, while a matrix factorization specification is adopted to handle the high dimensionality of the data in a parsimonious way. The conjugate structure of the model enables an explicit derivation of the full conditional distributions of all the random variables in the model, which facilitates seamless posterior inference using a Gibbs sampling algorithm. We demonstrate the method's performance through simulations and by analyzing politician and movie ratings data.

RELATORI: Enzo Orsingher (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Wolfgang Woess (Technische Universitaet Graz)
TITOLO: Il moto browniano iperbolico e le sue ramificazioni
RIASSUNTO: Il moto browniano ramificato (branching Brownian motion - BBM) in ambito euclideo è stato studiato intensamente durante molti decenni da studiosi rinomati. Il BBM sul disco (ossia semipiano) iperbolico ha ricevuto molta meno attenzione. Un lavoro profondo di Lalley and Sellke (1997) ha messo in luce la fase ricorrente, risp. transitoria del BBM sul disco di Poincaré. In particolare, Lalley e Sellke hanno determinato la dimensione di Hausdorff dell'insieme limite sulla frontiera (il cerchio unitario) in funzione del tasso di ramificazione delle particelle.
Nel primo dei due seminari viene introdotta la geometria del disco iperbolico con la metrica di Poincaré e del modello equivalente del semipiano superiore. Si presenta il Laplaciano iperbolico, cioè l'operatore di Laplace-Beltrami associato a questa superficie. Esso è l'operatore infinitesimale del moto browniano iperbolico. Si presentano alcune proprietà chiave di questo processo.
Nel secondo seminario si introduce il moto browniano ramificato iperbolico. Vengono presentati alcuni nuovi risultati. In particolare, si forniscono i tassi della massima e minima distanza iperbolica della popolazione al tempo t dal punto di partenza e delle stime asintotiche più precise nella fase transitoria. L'altro tema principale riguarda il comportamento delle distribuzioni empiriche della popolazione ramificante e la loro convergenza a una distribuzione limite aleatoria sulla frontiera di supporto infinito.
