Kinetic Theory for Laguerre Tessellations

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss a family of Gibbsian measures on the set of Laguerre tessellations. These measures may be used to provide a systematic approach for constructing Gibbsian solution...

From black forests to interpretable trees: an overview and recent development on Optimal classification tree

Abstract: In recent years there has been a growing attention to machine learning models which are able to give explanatory insights on the decisions made by the algorithm. Thanks to their interpretabi...

Zero-stiffness structures

Abstract: The talk will provide a compendium of ’zero-stiffness’ structures, describing three classes of structures that remain in a neutral state of equilibrium, even while they undergo large (an...

Neuronal network structure inference by simulation

Abstract: Neurophysiologists are nowadays able to record from a large number of extracellular electrodes and to extract, from the raw data, the sequences of action potentials or spikes generated by ma...

Entropy and mixing time of non-local Markov chains

Abstract: We discuss the convergence to the stationary distribution for non-local Markov chains on general spin systems on arbitrary graphs. We show that the relative entropy functional of the corresp...

Meeting, Coalescence and Consensus on random directed graphs.

Abstract: We consider Markovian dynamics on a typical realization of the so-called Directed Configuration Model (DCM), which is a random directed graph with prescribed in- and out-degrees. In this ran...

Massless phases for the Villain model in d>=3

Abstract: The XY and the Villain models are models which exhibit the celebrated Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions in two dimensions. The spin wave conjecture, originally proposed by Dyson and by M...

Sistemi di marce aleatorie cicliche interagenti

Abstract: Consideriamo un sistema di marce aleatorie cicliche (``random walk loop soup") in presenza di autointerazioni e di interazioni mutuali. Tale modello dipende da un parametro, la temperatura i...

Spectral gap of the symmetric inclusion process.

Abstract: In this talk, we consider the symmetric inclusion process on a general finite graph. Our main result establishes universal upper and lower bounds for the spectral gap of this interacting par...

Universality Conjectures For Activated Random Walk

Abstract: Activated Random Walk is a particle system displaying avalanches on all scales. How universal are these avalanches? I’ll narrate five interlocking conjectures aimed at different aspects of...

HIDDEN TEMPERATURE IN THE KIPNIS-MARCHIORO-PRESUTTI MODEL

Abstract: Stationary non equilibrium states (SNS) have a rich and complex structure. The large deviations rate functionals for the empirical measure of a few one dimensional SNS of stochastic interact...

Gluing for $\phi^4_3$ on cylinders

Abstract: The $\phi^4_3$ model is a 3-dimensional non-Gaussian Euclidean QFT. Showing existence of such a measure was one of the highlights of the constructive QFT programme in the '70s. In this talk ...
