International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 01 May '19

01 May '19

CREDIT2019 <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2019/credit2019.htm> *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *European DataWarehouse* (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *S&P Global Market Intelligence* (London, UK) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 26-27, 2019. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and Ph.D. students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and atmospheric events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* (Milan, Italy) and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *eighteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. //The adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks a historical international commitment to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. How to mobilise the necessary financing for green and sustainable investments is thus a primary need. // //Meanwhile, Regulators are discussing about a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor since they want to make sure financial institutions are prepared. It is to find the way to support sustainable investments but it is primarily a discussion about credit risk.// //The banking and insurance industries and more in general the financial sector has to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with these new challenges and take advantage of the new opportunities. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design adapted policy tools. ////////// The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * Analysis of climate change effects on companies’ creditworthiness, in terms of risk exposure and possible loss of business continuity; understanding on how to integrate the environmental risk and opportunities of banks’ or insurers’ counterparties in the credit process * Development of metrics for climate-related financial risks and investments opportunities; definition of an EU environmental and climate change (ECC) risk categorising system by economic sectors/sub-sectors for ECC screening to provide a sound and reliable basis for setting high-level policies for credit protection and allocation * Analysis of the climate change impact on the insurance sector and on the development of non-life and reinsurance products for the corporate and retail segments Analysis of climate-aligned developments in the financial markets (e.g. green bonds) and opportunities for financial institutions in fostering the low-carbon transition * Transmission channels of climate-related shocks from the real economy to financial institutions’ portfolios and amplification mechanisms of climate-related shocks through credit chains * Assessment of the potential impact of green financial policies, including climate-aligned monetary policies and macroprudential regulation * Big data and artificial intelligence to assess and manage the corporate exposures to climate change factors. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Robert Engle *(New York University, Stern Business School), *Andreas Hoepner* (University College Dublin), *Irene Monasterolo* (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna) and *Til Schuermann *(Oliver Wyman, New York). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major outstanding problems.

Seminario di Probabilità a Roma La Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio di un seminario a Roma1. Grazie. Alessandra Faggionato %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martedi' 7 Maggio, ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio, Dip. Matematica, La Sapienza Speaker: Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (Università di Bonn) Titolo: The Dirichlet-Ferguson diffusion Abstract: We define, via Dirichlet forms’ theory, a geometric diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold. The process is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L^2-Wasserstein gradient and by the Dirichlet-Ferguson random measure with intensity the Riemannian volume measure on the base manifold. We discuss the closability of the form via an integration-by-parts formula, which allows explicit computations for the generator and a specification of the process via a measure-valued SPDE. We comment how the construction is related to previous work of von Renesse—Sturm on the Wasserstein Diffusion and of Konarovskyi—von Renesse on the Modified Massive Arratia Flow. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

SEMINARIO Fisica Matematica Eveliina Peltola Universita' di Ginevra Titolo: Crossing probabilities of multiple Ising interfaces Giovedi' 09 Maggio 2019 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 311 Abstract I discuss crossing probabilities of multiple interfaces in the critical Ising model with alternating boundary conditions. In the scaling limit, they are conformally invariant expressions given by so-called pure partition functions of multiple SLE(kappa) with kappa=3. I also describe analogous results for critical percolation and the Gaussian free field.

Seminario di Jacques Franchi a Roma
by Anna Vidotto 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Tuesday, May 7th 2019, at 4:30 PM in Aula Dal Passo of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) Title: Small time equivalents for the density of a planar quadratic Langevin diffusion Abstract: Exact small time equivalents for the density of the (heat kernel) semi-group, with a control of the error term, are obtained for a quadratic planar analogue of the Langevin diffusion, which is strictly hypoelliptic and non-Gaussian, hence of a different nature from the known Riemannian, sub-Riemannian and linear-Gaussian cases. Namely I consider the density p_t of X_t := ( B_t , \int_0^t B_s^2 ds ), where B_t is real Brownian, and I obtain the asymptotic behaviours, as t --> 0, of p_t(0,(w,y)) and p_t(0,(w,ty)), which both can be seen as natural extensions beyond the degenerate Langevin-Gaussian framework. The result for the scaled regime is the first such one in a non-Gaussian strictly hypoelliptic framework. The method is half-probabilistic half-analytic.

Mini-course announcement: Stochastic control and mean-field games [L.Campi @Dept. Comp. Science - UniVr]
by Luca di persio 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

The Dept. of Comp. Science, College of Mathematics [ UniVr ] : https://goo.gl/maps/yeKWo3vri8PkHjUm9 will host the following mini-course *Title*: Stochastic control and mean-field games [ 2 ECTS ] which will be given by prof. Luciano Campi [LSE - London] *Stochastic control and mean-field games* In this mini-course we will give a short introduction of stochastic control problems and games, especially in view to applications in economics and finance such as - but not limited to - portfolio optimization. Two main approaches will be discussed: dynamic programming principle via PDEs (Partial Differential Equations), Pontryagin maximum principle via BSDEs (Backward Stochastic Differential Equations). Moreover, an application to the latter method to the very popular class of mean-field games (MFGs) will be presented as well together with some relevant applications to study strategic interaction among economic agents, such as banks and investors. Other applications of MFGs to, for instance, energy markets and crowd dynamics, will be also discussed if time allows. The list of topics will be: (i) Stochastic control: formulation of the problem with examples. (ii) Dynamic programming principle and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDE. (iii) Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle and BSDEs. (iv) Mean-field games: characterization of Nash equilibria and applications. *Main references*: • Carmona, R., Delarue, F. (2018).

ISIPTA 2019: call for posters
by Serena Doria 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Our call for papers teasingly stated that ?There?s more to uncertainty than probabilities? and set out to try and convince you that ISIPTA 2019 is a good place for discussing such matters. The paper submission deadline has passed, but rest assured, you can still present your work at ISIPTA, because poster abstract submission has opened. These poster abstracts are intended for discussing preliminary results and open questions, and also for bringing already published results to the attention of the ISIPTA audience. Each accepted poster abstract will be announced in a one-minute plenary spotlight presentation, and the accompanying poster will be presented at length during one of the discussion sessions. Given the prominent role of poster presentations at ISIPTA, these sessions provide you with a genuine opportunity for presenting your work to the ISIPTA audience. Furthermore, as icing on the cake, presenting a poster also makes you eligible for one of our poster awards. The deadline for poster submission is June 7. You can submit at any time before that, though, and we will provide you with a decision within two weeks. Furthermore, for poster abstracts that are submitted before May 6, we guarantee a decision announced before the early registration deadline of May 15. Not convinced yet? Then perhaps the following features can persuade you. We?d like to highlight the availability of grants for attendees with limited funding, and the possibility of applying for the IJAR Young Researcher Award. Basic info: ISIPTA 2019 is the 20-year anniversary edition of the world?s main forum on imprecise probabilities. It will take place in Ghent, Belgium, from 3 to 6 July 2019, and is currently open for registration. All details are available at http://isipta2019.ugent.be. Scope: The ISIPTA conferences are devoted to robustness and imprecision in uncertainty modelling, inference and decision making, focusing in particular on uncertainty frameworks that extend or replace the probabilistic one. Invited speakers: ISIPTA 2019 will feature keynote talks by Thomas Dietterich, Vladimir Vovk and Aharon Ben-Tal, respectively on robust AI, game-theoretic probability and robust optimization, and how these relate to imprecise probabilities. Additionally, on the occasion of ISIPTA?s 20-year anniversary, four former presidents of SIPTA will give invited talks on topics close to their hearts. Concept: Each accepted contribution is presented and discussed, in two separate sessions. Presentations are short and always plenary. Detailed explanations and discussions are face-to-face, typically with the aid of a poster and a flipchart. Atmosphere: ISIPTA conferences are characterised by a friendly and cooperative style, a strong emphasis on in-depth discussion and openness to new ideas. We hope that you too will enjoy and contribute to this unique atmosphere. Venue: Ghent has been called ?Belgium?s best kept secret? by the Lonely Planet travel guide and a ?medieval masterpiece? by The Guardian. The conference takes place in an old Augustinian monastery, situated in its historic city centre. Social programme: In order to blow off the accumulated academic steam, the programme also features several social activities, such as an opening reception at the town hall, a guided boat trip along the city centre canals, and a conference dinner with regional specialties, including some of our excellent Belgian beers. Types of contributions: We accept long papers, short papers and poster abstracts. The deadline for papers has passed though. The deadline for poster abstract submission is the 7th of June. For poster abstracts that are submitted before the 6th of May, we guarantee a decision before the early registration deadline of May 15. Grants: For researchers who would like to attend ISIPTA 2019, but are unable to do so due to budget constraints, we have grants available to cover (part of) the costs. Preference will be given to PhD students, but the grants are also open to more senior researchers. Information on how to apply is available on our website. Awards: ISIPTA 2019 will hand out an IJAR Young Researcher Award (for excellent research in the area of imprecise probabilities) and several poster prizes. The former is sponsored by the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, the latter by Wiley and Springer. The deadline for applying for the IJAR Young Researcher Award is the 7th of June; the rules for application are available on our website. Anyone who presents a poster (either for a paper or poster abstract) is eligible for the poster prizes. We look forward to receiving your contribution and to seeing you in Ghent.
