Webinar PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Buongiorno a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare i prossimi Webinars promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 2 maggio 2022 ore 16-17 LAURA SACERDOTE TITOLO: Input-output consistency in Integrate and Fire neuronal networks ABSTRACT: Models of neurons aim to describe the information transmission within a neural network. Some models are mathematically tractable with the introduction of strong simplifications, ignoring the involved biophysicalfeatures of the single units. Others are very faithful to reality at the price of very complex mathematical descriptions. Models are then used to describe networks, often through simulations. The appearance of particular patterns in the trains of spikes is then used to compare with observed data or to switch from microscopic to macroscopic analysis. In this framework, it is essential to guarantee the reliability of the output of the model and often scientists compare the output of the models with real data. However, when the models are used to reproduce networks the output of some neurons becomes the input of a successive layer of neurons. This fact opens a problem of consistency between input and output of layers of neurons. To the best of our knowledge, this problem has not yet been deeply investigated. Here, we consider the simplest Stochastic Integrate and Fire model and we try to characterize the features of its input in such a way to re-obtain the same features in the output. In particular, we focus on the tail properties of ISIs distribution. Observed data suggest the presence of heavy tails for this distribution. Using the Stochastic Integrate and Fire paradigm for the neurons of the network we study how such features can be transmitted from the network. In this framework we introduce a particular class of multivariate distributions, i.e. the regularly varying distributions. We show that assuming that the input to a neuron is a regularly varying random vector and that successive ISIs of a neuron are asymptotically independent thenthe resulting output is a regularly varying random variable. The talk is based on a joint work with Petr Lansky and Federico Polito. Ore 17-18 BRUNO TOALDO TITLE: Semi-Markov processes, their exit times and non-local equations ABSTRACT: We introduce the theory of semi-Markov processes and their interplay with non-local equations. Particular attention will be devoted to the theory of exit times from sets and the connection with boundary value problems, e.g., on a time-dependent parabolic domain.

Seminars in Pisa: A. P. Todino and F. Pistolato
by Francesco Grotto 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Anna Paola Todino (Università Milano Bicocca) to be held this Wednesday (April 27th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. After the seminar, in the same location (on site and online), Francesca Pistolato (future PhD student at Université du Luxembourg) will give a short talk, details below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 27th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Anna Paola Todino (UniMiB) Title: Alternative forms of random spherical harmonics Abstract: In the last decade, lot of efforts have been devoted to the analysis of the high-frequency behaviour of geometric functionals (Lipschitz-Killing Curvatures) for the excursion sets of random eigenfunctions on the unit sphere (spherical harmonics). The asymptotic behavior of their expected values and variances have been investigated and quantitative central limit theorems have been established in the high energy limits. In order to generalize these results, a local study was also introduced by considering subdomains of the sphere. This topic is linked to Berry's conjecture on planar random waves and finds its motivation in cosmological applications. Another interesting issue concerns the Gaussianity hypothesis of the random field. In this direction we introduce a model of Poisson random waves on the 2-dimensional sphere and we study Quantitative Central Limit Theorems when both the rate of the Poisson process and the energy (i.e. frequency) of the waves (eigenfunctions) diverge to infinity. We consider finite-dimensional distributions, harmonic coefficients and convergence in law in functional spaces, and we investigate carefully the interplay between the rates of divergence of eigenvalues and Poisson governing measures. Time: April 27th, 2022, 15:00-15:30 CET Speaker: Francesca Pistolato Title: A Small-Scale Reduction Principle for the Nodal Length of Monochromatic Random Waves Abstract: We prove an asymptotic mean square equivalence between the nodal length of monochromatic random waves and their sample trispectrum in the small-scale regime. We make use of coupling techniques for non-stationary Gaussian fields, and the so-called Small-Scale Central Limit Theorem for the nodal length, both proved by Dierickx, Nourdin, Peccati, Rossi in 2020. Consequently, we deduce the conjectured equivalence from the analogous one for Berry's random wave model, proved by Vidotto in 2020.

Seminar: Antonio Lerario at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Dear all, next Friday, April 29th, Antonio Lerario (SISSA) will give a seminar about "The zonoid algebra". Abstract: In this seminar I will discuss the so called "zonoid algebra", a construction introduced in a recent work (joint with Breiding, Bürgisser and Mathis) which allows to put a ring structure on the set of zonoids (i.e. Hausdorff limits of Minkowski sums of segments). This framework gives a new perspective on classical objects in convex geometry, and it allows to introduce new functionals on zonoids, in particular generalizing the notion of mixed volume. Moreover this algebra plays the role of a probabilistic intersection ring for compact homogeneous spaces. Joint work with P. Breiding, P. Bürgisser and L. Mathis. The seminar will take place in Aula De Blasi, Università Tor Vergata, at 14h00. We encourage in-person partecipation, but should you unable to come here is the link to the event on Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project Math@TOV.
