Diaconis and L. Miclo on "THE random graph" Dear probabilists, We are pleased to inform you that the OWPS will resume on October 7th, from 14:00 to 15:45 UTC. Persi Diaconis and Laurent Miclo will talk about THE random graph and random walk on it. Titles, abstracts and the Zoom link are below the signature, and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We also inform you that, in accordance with the wishes expressed in the pooling, sessions will take place every other week (i.e. ~2 per month). Each session will consist of two talks of 45 minutes each. These two talks will be thematically unified. Please feel free to circulate this email. Probabilistically yours, Bastien Mallein and Sébastien Martineau -------- Persi Diaconis -- Probability theory for THE random graph Pick two Erdös-Renyi (n,1/2) graphs uniformly at random. What's the chance they are the same (isomorphic)? Small. How small? Well, at most n!/ 2^(n choose 2). When n= 100, that's less than 10^-1300. OK, now let n=infinity. The chance that the two graphs are isomorphic is one (!). This is THE random graph (the Rado graph R). I will review its many non-random models and many strange properties. ? It is a natural limit of the set of all finite graphs (a first order property is true for almost all finite graphs if and only if it holds with probability one in R) and this discontinuity is surprising. In joint work with with Sourav Chatterjee we tried to find finite manifestations: For finite n, the largest isomorphic induced subgraph of a pair has size 4log (n) -2loglog(n)-2log(4/e) +1 (within 1, all logs base 2 in probability when n is large). This matches data amazingly well (e.g. for n more than 30) and illuminates problems in constraint satisfaction. Laurent Mico -- A random walk on THE random graph R Let q(j) be a probability on N={0,1,2,...}. Let R be a model of THE random graph. A Markov chain on N starts at i and moves to one of its neighbor j in R with probability proportional to q(j). This Markov chain has a stationary distribution and we inquire about rates of convergence. Since each vertex is connected to half of the others and the diameter of R is 2, it seems likely that convergence is fast. In some models we show that log* (i) steps are necessary and sufficient for convergence. The proof uses a novel variant of Hardy's inequalities for trees. This is joint work with Sourav Chatterjee and Persi Diaconis.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Hakima Bessaih, Monday September 27 at 17.30
by Margherita Zanella 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Hakima Bessaih (Florida International University) Title: Numerical schemes for the 2d Stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. Abstract: We consider a time discretization scheme of Euler type for the 2d stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the torus. We prove a mean square rate of convergence. This refines previous results established with a rate of convergence in probability only. Using exponential moment estimates of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and a convergence of a localized scheme, we can prove strong convergence of fully implicit and semi-implicit time Euler discretization and also a splitting scheme. The speed of convergence depends on the diffusion coefficient and the viscosity parameter. When the noise is additive, we are able to get strong convergence without localization. Date and time: Monday September 27, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) 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/<http://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/> Participation is free and welcome! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons). Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Seminars by Jim Gatheral, Baruch College CUNY New York
by Giacomo Bormetti 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Dear all, Prof. Jim Gatheral is visiting the Department of Mathematics in Bologna for the next two months. On September 29 and October 13 he will deliver two seminars in presence in Bologna in Aula Cremona, main building of the Math Department. You are all kindly invited. It will be possible to follow the seminars online via Zoom too (please find below the links to connect). Sincerely, Giacomo Bormetti and Fabrizio Lillo 29-Sep-2021 16:00 (CET time) Aula Cremona, Department of Mathematics or Zoom https://unibo.zoom.us/j/99763851456?pwd=YzVBMTNxUXpRWngrNExaRWtMRjRkdz09 Title: Diamond trees and the forest expansion Abstract: I will present a “broken exponential martingale” G-expansion that generalizes and unifies our earlier exponentiation result (Alòs, Gatheral, and Radoičić) and the cumulant recursion formula of Lacoin, Rhodes, and Vargas. As one application, I show how to compute all terms in an expansion of the Lévy area. By reordering the trees in the G-expansion according to the number of leaves, our earlier exponentiation theorem can be recovered. As further applications, I will give model-free expressions for various quantities of interest under stochastic volatility. Finally, I will exhibit explicit computations of diamond trees under rough Heston. 13-Oct-2021 16:00 (CET time) Aula Cremona, Department of Mathematics or Zoom https://unibo.zoom.us/j/91206042957?pwd=d21ybkJQTEtkZHRWd25RLzJOQWV0QT09 Title: Pricing in affine forward variance models Abstract: The class of affine forward variance (AFV) models was defined in Gatheral and Keller-Ressel (2019); this class includes both the conventional Heston model and its celebrated extension, the rough Heston model of El Euch and Rosenbaum. The AFV characteristic function may be expressed in terms of the solution of a Volterra integral equation. I will present a rational approximation to the solution of this integral equation in the special case of the rough Heston model. Until now, simulation of AFV models using the Markovian approximation of Abi Jaber and El Euch has proved relatively complicated and time-consuming, I will present a new efficient and easy-to-implement method for simulating AFV models for general kernels. I will present numerical results using the rational approximation as a benchmark.

virtual seminar in Insubria & Bicocca
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Dear all, On *September 30 at 17:00, Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) will give a virtual seminar “in Insubria & Bicocca”, to which you are all invited. You can find the title and abstract below. Title: Infinite dimensional Heston model and sensitivity analysis Abstract: We consider the infinite dimensional Heston stochastic volatility model for the price of a forward contract on a non-storable commodity. We give a representation formula for the forward price and then we consider options written on this. We analyse the sensitivity of the option price to the different parameters in the model with the aim at providing representation formulae for the so-called Greeks. However, being the parameter infinite dimensional, we need to reinterpret the meaning of the Greeks. In our work we use infinite dimensional Malliavin/Skorokhod calculus and a randomisation technique. The presentation is based on joint work with Fred Espen Benth and Iben Simonsen. The seminar will be on *Zoom*. You can find the information to join below. Speaker: Giulia Di Nunno (Univ. Oslo) Topic: Time: September 30, 2021 05:00 PM Rome Where: Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86037568156?pwd=cHhvdmdiWUpVYXFjMEo2RWZxM09Rdz09 ID riunione: 860 3756 8156 Passcode: 086446 After the talk, you are all invited to remain in the meeting for an informal aperitif and chat. Please forward to anyone interested.
