UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO Dipartimento di Matematica AVVISO DI SEMINARI Mercoledì 1 giugno 2022, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, livello 1, si terranno i seguenti seminari in presenza e online (su Teams): 1) ore 15:00-15:45 - Prof. Enrico Scalas (University of Sussex, Brighton, UK) Limit theorems for prices of options written on semi-Markov processes link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZmRiNmFjZmUtNmFlMS00… We consider plain vanilla European options written on an underlying asset that follows a continuous time semi-Markov multiplicative process. We derive a formula and a renewal type equation for the martingale option price. In the case in which intertrade times follow the Mittag-Leffler distribution, under appropriate scaling, we prove that these option prices converge to the price of an option written on geometric Brownian motion time-changed with the inverse stable subordinator. For geometric Brownian motion time changed with an inverse subordinator, in the more general case when the subordinator's Laplace exponent is a special Bernstein function, we derive a time-fractional generalization of the equation of Black and Scholes. This is joint work with Bruno Toaldo 2) ore 16:00-16:45 - Dott. Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli) Bulk behaviour of ground states for relativistic Schrödinger operators with spherical potential well link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTMzYTBmYTAtZDFiYS00… In this talk, we show a probabilistic representation of the ground state of a massive or massless Schrödinger operator with a spherical potential well. Such a representation will lead to a two-sided approximation with different behaviours depending on the fact that we are inside or outside the well. Both of them rely on some functionals of the first exit time of a subordinated Brownian motion from a suitable open set (the well or its complement). We also develop a moving planes-type argument to prove the radial monotonicity of the ground state, which is one of the main tools of the two-sided bounds. This is joint work with József Lőrinczi. Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Cordiali saluti, Barbara Martinucci

Probability Seminar in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 26 May '22

26 May '22

Dear All, next Tuesday Nicolas Forien (Sapienza Università di Roma) will give a seminar talk on particle systems and interacting random walks. Please find the title and the abstract below. Best regards, Lorenzo Taggi Tuesday 31st of May, 16.15, Dipartimento di Matematica Università Sapienza, Aula Consiglio *Title:* On the phase transition of activated random walks *Abstract:* The Activated Random Walk model consists of particles which perform independent random walks on a graph and fall asleep with a certain rate. Sleeping particles stop moving and are awaken when another particle arrives on the same site. The model on Z^d presents a phase transition: depending on the density of particles (initially all active) and on the sleep rate, either almost surely each particle eventually falls asleep forever (fixating phase), or almost surely no particle falls asleep forever (active phase). In this talk, I will present a joint work with Alexandre Gaudillière (arxiv.org/abs/2203.02476) showing the existence of an active phase on Z^2: for every positive initial density of particles, for a sufficiently low sleep rate, almost surely no particle falls asleep forever.

When: Wednesday May 25, 11.30am UK time Speaker: Harita Dellaporta<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> (University of Warwick) Title: Robust Bayesian Inference for Simulator-based Models via the MMD Posterior Bootstrap Abstract: Simulator-based models are models for which the likelihood is intractable but simulation of synthetic data is possible. They are often used to describe complex real-world phenomena, and as such can often be misspecified in practice. In this talk, I will present a novel algorithm based on the posterior bootstrap and maximum mean discrepancy estimators. This leads to a highly-parallelisable Bayesian inference algorithm with strong robustness properties. This is demonstrated through an in-depth theoretical study which includes generalisation bounds and proofs of frequentist consistency and robustness of our posterior. The approach is then assessed on a range of examples including a g-and-k distribution and a toggle-switch model. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Assistant Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sis-news" group.

Seminar in Pisa: Enrico Malatesta
by Francesco Grotto 23 May '22

23 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Enrico Malatesta (Bocconi) to be held Wednesday, May 25th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. 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: May 25th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Enrico Malatesta Title: Phase transitions in the landscape of solutions of overparametrized neural networks. Abstract: Current deep neural networks are nonlinear devices composed of a number of parameters that far exceed the number of data points. Understanding how these systems can fit the data almost perfectly through variants of gradient descent algorithms and achieve exceptional levels of prediction accuracy without overfitting are key conceptual challenges. In this talk I will show how common techniques used in machine learning (e.g. the choice of the activation function or the loss) deeply affect the loss landscape, tending to mild its roughness. Then we shed light on the role of overparameterization in non-convex neural networks. By analytically studying a non-convex model of random features, we identify a novel (non-equilibrium) phase transition, that we call “Local Entropy” transition, controlled by the degree of overparameterization. In non-convex models this transition is strictly different to the SAT/UNSAT threshold and it coincides with the appearance of highly entropic minima of the error loss function. Those minima, in turn, are found to be highly attractive to the learning algorithms currently used in deep learning.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 27 Maggio 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Alexander Cox* (University of Bath) Title: *Binary branching processes with Moran type interactions* Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the large population limit of a binary branching particle system with Moran type interactions: we introduce a new model where particles evolve, reproduce and die independently and, with a probability that may depend on the configuration of the whole system, the death of a particle may trigger the reproduction of another particle, while a branching event may trigger the death of another one. We study the occupation measure of the new model, explicitly relating it to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the underlying Markov evolution and quantifying the L2 distance between their normalisations. This model extends the fixed size Moran-type interacting particle system discussed in Del Moral, Burdzy et al, and Villemonais, and we will indeed show that our model outperforms the latter when used to approximate a birth and death process. We discuss several other applications of our model including the neutron transport equation, Sequential Monte Carlo methods, and population size dynamics. Joint work with Emma Horton and Denis Villemonais. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://docs.google.com/forms <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJkIrE0DwYtvJq6LqUTNQvL_ZAQWFD8ez…> Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89213634464?pwd=SUUe_KLj4d6lyByzLfE5VCFezDJ4lE.1> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>
