(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Carina Geldhauser
by Mario Maurelli 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the first *hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming -* talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: *Carina Geldhauser* (Lund University) Title: *Discrete models for atmospheric turbulence* Abstract: In this talk we discuss a family of discrete models for atmospheric turbulence, often called point vortex models. Point vortices provide an approximation of solutions to generalized surface quasi-geostrophic models, a family of fractional PDEs which interpolate between 2D Euler equations and the more irregular SQG equation. We state some of its basic properties and see how variational methods and tools from probability theory together can help us to obtain more information about turbulence phenomena. The content of this talk is based on work in collaboration with Marco Romito (Uni Pisa), the presentation tries to avoid technicalities and to be accessible to a mixed audience. Date and time: *Monday October 25, 14:30-15:30 (Rome time zone)*, mind the change with respect to previous talks Place: *Sala di Rappresentanza (ground floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano, via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano* *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. For more information see the dedicated webpage: https://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/ Participation is free and welcome! The number of participants in person is limited, but we expect the limit not to be reached. However we advise people who are not from Milan or Pavia to write to us if they want to participate in person. Participants in person need to have the "green pass" or the EU digital covid certificate; a scanner will measure body temperature at the entrance of the building. Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Webinar Crimaldi @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 21 October 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Irene Crimaldi (IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca) Title: Interacting Reinforced Stochastic Processes Abstract: Randomly evolving systems composed by elements which interact among each other have always been of great interest in several scientific fields. We will present some studies about models of interacting stochastic processes with reinforcement. Generally speaking, by reinforcement in a stochastic dynamics we mean any mechanism for which the probability that a given event occurs has an increasing dependence on the number of times the same event occurred in the past. In particular, we will focus on the asymptotic synchronization phenomenon that could be roughly defined as the tendency of different components to adopt a common behavior. Moreover, we will deal with the relationship between the topology of the interaction network and the long-time synchronization. Indeed, the obtained results lead to the construction of asymptotic confidence intervals for the common limit random variable and of statistical tests to make inference on the topology of the network. Finally, we will discuss the question when, even if interaction among agents is present, absence of synchronization may happen. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/93329709153?pwd=TnZyNmV5QWZ1YjdHOHhEK2VZTmp… Meeting ID: 933 2970 9153 Passcode: 417065 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

Seminar in Padova by Andrea Pallavicini, save the date (29 Oct. 2021)!
by Giorgia Callegaro 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

Dear all, it's a pleasure to announce the following seminar by Andrea Pallavicini, which will be **in presence and online**. Details are as follows: - *Title*: Chebyshev Greeks: Smoothing Gamma without Bias - *Date*: October 29, 2021 at 14:30 - *In presence*: Room 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Padova) - *Online (Zoom):* the link will be available from the day before at this address https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ - *Abstract*: The computation of Greeks is a fundamental task for risk managing of financial instruments. The standard approach to their numerical evaluation is via finite differences. Most exotic derivatives are priced via Monte Carlo simulation: in these cases, it is hard to find a fast and accurate approximation of Greeks, mainly because of the need of a tradeoff between bias and variance. Recent improvements in Greeks computation, such as Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation, are unfortunately uneffective on second order Greeks (such as Gamma), which are plagued by the most significant instabilities, so that a viable alternative to standard finite differences is still lacking. We apply Chebyshev interpolation techniques to the computation of spot Greeks, showing how to improve the stability of finite difference Greeks of arbitrary order, in a simple and general way. The increased performance of the proposed technique is analyzed for a number of real payoffs commonly traded by financial institutions. See you soon in Padova, thanks, Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home
