Buongiorno a tutti,

Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (20 Giugno) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di:

Filippo Quattrocchi (Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)) https://sites.google.com/view/filippoquattrocchi/ https://sites.google.com/view/filippoquattrocchi/ Title: Acceleration-based Optimal Transport Date: June 20, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: Finding smooth interpolations between probability measures is a problem of broad interest, with applications ranging from physics to biology, from computer graphics to engineering. In this talk, I will discuss a model in which such interpolations are found by minimising an action functional of the acceleration, and present recent results obtained in collaboration with G. Brigati and J. Maas (ISTA), arXiv:2502.15665. The first result is a fluid-dynamic equivalent formulation of the model, previously conjectured by Y. Chen, G. Conforti, and T. T. Georgiou. We complete the formal argument outlined by the aforementioned authors through the introduction of two new mathematical ingredients. The second result is the description of the (hypoelliptic) Riemannian structure induced by the minimal acceleration-based action on the space of probability measures.

Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin
