15:15 pm David Prömel (University of Mannheim): Model-free portfolio theory: a rough path approach

Abstract: Classical approaches to optimal portfolio selection problems are based on probabilistic models for the asset returns or prices. However, by now it is well observed that the performance of optimal portfolios are highly sensitive to model misspecifications. To account for various type of model risk, robust and model-free approaches have gained more and more importance in portfolio theory. Using rough path theory, we provide a pathwise foundation for stochastic Ito integration, which covers most commonly applied trading strategies and mathematical models of financial markets possibly under model uncertainty. Based on this pathwise foundation, we develop a model-free approach to stochastic portfolio theory and Cover's universal portfolio. The use of rough path theory allows for treating significantly more general portfolios in a model-free setting, compared to previous model-free approaches.
The talk is based on joint works with Andrew Allan, Christa Cuchiero and Chong Liu.

16:45 pm Christoph Czichowsky (London School of Economics):Hedging and portfolio optimisation in rough volatility models

Abstract: Rough volatility models have become quite popular recently, as they capture both the fractional scaling of the time series of the historic volatility (Gatheral et al. 2018) and the behaviour of the implied volatility surface (Fukasawa 2011, Bayer et al. 2016) remarkably well. In contrast to classical stochastic volatility models, the volatility process is neither a Markov process nor a semimartingale. Therefore, these models fall outside the scope of standard stochastic analysis and provide new mathematical challenges. In this talk, we present an overview of of this new paradigm in volatility modelling and consider the impact of rough volatility on hedging and portfolio optimisation.
The talk is based on joint works with David Martins, Johannes Muhle-Karbe and Denis Schelling.

15:15 Steffen Polzer (Genf): Renewal approach for the energy-momentum relation of the Polaron

Abstract: The Fröhlich polaron is a model for the interaction of an electron with a polar crystal. We study the energy-momentum relation E(P) which is the bottom of the spectrum of the fixed total momentum Hamiltonian H(P). An application of the Feynman-Kac formula leads to Brownian motion perturbed by a pair potential. The point process representation introduced by Mukherjee and Varadhan represents this path measure as a mixture of Gaussian measures, the respective mixing measure can be interpreted in terms of a perturbed birth and death process. We apply the renewal structure of this point process representation in order to obtain a representation of a diagonal element of the resolvent of H(P). This then yields several properties of the energy-momentum relation, such as monotonicity in |P| and that the correction to the quasi-particle energy is negative. Additionally, we will briefly discuss how the point process representation can be applied in order to derive a lower bound for the effective mass of the Polaron.

16:45 Mark Sellke (Stanford University, Princeton/Amazon): The Polaron's Effective Mass and the Gaussian Correlation Inequality

Abstract:
The Fröhlich polaron is a quantum field theoretic model for an electron moving through a crystal lattice. We study its effective mass at large coupling strength, and give a new lower bound matching the quartic growth rate predicted by Landau-Pekar in 1948 up to logarithmic factors. Our approach uses the probabilistic path integral formulation of the problem and takes a high-dimensional geometric viewpoint. In particular we make crucial, systematic use of Royen's Gaussian correlation inequality to exploit the quasi-concavity of the interaction terms.

15:15 Johannes Alt (Uni Bonn): Spectral Phases of the Erdős–Rényi Graph

Abstract: We consider the Erdős–Rényi graph on N vertices with expected degree d for each vertex. It is well known that the structure of this graph changes drastically when d is of order log N. Below this threshold it develops inhomogeneities which lead to the emergence of localized eigenvectors, while the majority of eigenvectors remains delocalized.

In this talk, I will explain our results in both phases and present the phase diagram depicting them. For a certain regime in d, we establish a mobility edge by showing that the localized phase extends up to the boundary of the delocalized phase.

This is based on joint works with Raphael Ducatez and Antti Knowles.

16:45 Torben Krüger (FAU):  Merging singularities in two-dimensional Coulomb gases

Abstract: The two-dimensional one-component plasma is a particle system in the plane with long-range logarithmic interactions. At a specific temperature the system is equivalent to the eigenvalue ensemble of a normal random matrix model. In equilibrium the particles form distinct droplets when placed in an external potential. Using the Riemann-Hilbert approach we determine the local statistical behaviour of the particles at the point where two droplets merge and observe an anisotropic scaling behaviour with particles being much further apart in the direction of merging than the perpendicular direction. This observation lends support to the conjecture that the hierarchy of local particle statistics at singularities of the density of states within two-dimensional Coulomb gases coincides with the corresponding hierarchy of one-dimensional invariant ensembles.

This is joint work with Meng Yang and Seung-Yeop Lee

Emmanuel Schertzer (Universität Wien):
Pushed and pulled waves in population genetics

In this talk, I will present recent results motivated by recent results on the noisy F-FPP equation with
Allee effect. Numerical results and heuristics suggest the existence of an interesting
phase transition between a pulled, semi pushed and fully pushed regimes.
In order to explain those different phases, I will introduce a class of branching Brownian motions with
inhomogeneous branching rates. This class of model was recently introduced in Tourniaire (22) and can
be described as a perturbation of the celebrated model of Berestycki, Berestycki, Schweinsberg (13). I
will show the existence of a phase transition mirroring the one observed in the noisy F-KPP equation.
The proof is based on a general approach that consists in computing the “moments” of a branching
process from spinal decompositions (Foutel–Rodier, Schertzer 22).

Amaury Lambert (Collège de France und École Normale Supérieure, Paris):
Stochastic models coupling the evolution of genomes and species

Due to recombination and to hybridization between species, the genealogies of genes, even sampled from distantly related species, are usually different at different genes, and (so) distinct from the species tree. We review models coupling gene trees and species tree including the popular multispecies coalescent as well as three alternative models that our team has devised and studied: the nested coalescent, Kingman's coalescent with erosion and the gene-based diversification model, acknowledging the importance of gene flow and where gene histories shape the species tree rather than the opposite. These models are meant to pave the way for approaches of diversification using the richer signal contained in genomic evolutionary histories rather than in the mere species tree.

“The contact process on tree-like graphs”

The contact process is a simple model for the spread of an infection in a structured population. I will first survey some of the recent results for the contact process when the underlying graph is either a finite or infinite random graph that is locally tree-like. The main focus of the talk will be to understand what changes when the underlying graph also evolves over time. We will look both at the case when edges update independently of the infection, but also the dependent case. In the latter case, the random graph reacts to the infection by only resampling connections to neighbours that are infected. The main question we will answer is first of all whether the contact process exhibits a phase transition. If it does, we will look at how the phase transition depends on the underlying graph dynamics.

Functional Representation Theorems for Exchangeable Laws

Functional Representation theorems (FRTs) for exchangeable random objects exist for many types of data structures, for example sequences (de Finetti/Hewitt-Savage),
partitions (Kingman), hierarchical structures, graphs or more general array-like data structures (Aldous-Hoover-Kallenberg).  In this talk several known FRTs are presented and the language of category theory [vocabulary: cagegory, functor, natural transformation] is used to introduce an abstract concept of data structures, which allows for a unified formulation of many known FRTs. This leads to a conjecture about a "General FRT".  No knowledge of category theory is assumed to follow this talk, the concepts will be motivated by statistical practise.

At the edge of a cloud of Brownian particles

The talk concerns a model for the motion of particles carried in a turbulent fluid in which a single particle moves according to an SDE of the form dX_t= \sigma dB_t + dW(t,X_t). Here, W is a Gaussian field, describing the environment, and B is an independent Brownian motion representing some additional diffusivity. We are interested in the behaviour at large times, but far from the origin.  There,  we find a transition which is analogous to that between weak and strong disorder for polymer models, and at the transition the stochastic heat equation appears.

René Schilling: Some martingales for Levy processes

We show the structure of all martingales of the form $f(X_t)- Ef(X_t)$ or $g(X_t)/E g(X_t)$ where $X_t$ is a Levy process. This is connected with Cauchy's functional equation and the Liouville theorem for Levy processes. (Joint work with Franziska Kühn)

Andreas Kyprianou: Asymptotic moments of spatial branching processes

We introduce a very general class of non-local branching particle processes and non-local superproesses for which the asymptotic moments can be computed explicitly as a function of time (our results are agnostic to either category of process). The method we use is extremely robust and we are able to provide similar results for the asymptotic moments of occupation functionals as a function of time.

Sharp concentration for the largest and smallest fragment in a k-regular self-similar fragmentation

Abstract: We study the asymptotics of the k-regular self-similar fragmentation process. For α>0 and an integer k≥2, this is the Markov process (I_t)_{t≥0} in which each It is a union of open subsets of [0,1), and independently each subinterval of It of size u breaks into k equally sized pieces at rate u^α. Let k^{−mt} and k^{−Mt} be the respective sizes of the largest and smallest fragments in I_t. By relating (I_t)_{t≥0} to a branching random walk, we find that there exist explicit deterministic functions g(t) and h(t) such that |mt−g(t)|≤1 and |Mt−h(t)|≤1 for all sufficiently large t. Furthermore, for each n, we study the final time at which fragments of size k^{-n} exist. In particular, by relating our branching random walk to a certain point process, we show that, after suitable rescaling, the laws of these times converge to a Gumbel distribution as n→∞.

Self-sustained oscillations in interacting systems: an overview and some recent advances

Abstract: Self organized collective periodic behavior is seen to emerge in several different contexts: from neuroscience to tectonic plates movements, from population dynamics to epidemiology. A large variety of stochastic models have been proposed to capture this phenomenon at a mathematical level, showing that it may be induced by a combination of factors including noise, dissipation, loss of Markovianity and/or of time reversibility. Most of the present literature concerns mean-field models, where the thermodynamic limit is well understood at a dynamical level, and the emergence of oscillations can be seen from the macroscopic evolution equations. In models with short range interaction it is much harder to understand how self organization at microscopic level may produce large scale rhythms. Some partial results have been obtained for a non-reversible modification of the nearest neighbour Ising model.

5.45 pm: Markus Heydenreich (LMU München): Voronoi cells in random split trees

Abstract: Consider a large graph G, and choose k vertices uniformly. We study the proportional size of the Voronoi cells of these k vertices as the number of vertices increases (but k kept fix). We identify the scaling of proportional sizes of the Voronoi cells for the case that G is a random split tree. Indeed, in this case, the largest of these k Voronoi cells contains most of the vertices, while the sizes of the remaining ones are of smaller order. This “winner-takes-all” phenomenon persists if we modify the definition of the Voronoi cells by introducing random edge lengths (with suitable moment assumptions), or assign different influence parameters (“speeds”) to each of the k vertices. We achieve this by investigating the typical shape of large random split trees.
Our findings are in contrast to corresponding results on random uniform trees and on the continuum random tree, where it is known that the vector of the relative sizes of the k Voronoi cells is asymptotically uniformly distributed on the (k − 1)-dimensional simplex.

Gaultier Lambert (Zurich): Normal approximation for traces of random unitary matrices

This talk aim to report on the fluctuations of traces of powers of a random n by n matrix U distributed according to the Haar measure on the unitary group. This classical random matrix problem has been extensively studied using several different methods such as asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants, representation theory, loop equations etc. It turns out that for any k≥1, Tr[U^k] converges as n tends to infinity to a Gaussian random variable with a super exponential rate of convergence. In this talk, I will explain some of these results and present some recent work with Kurt Johansson (KTH) in which we revisited this problem in a multivariate setting.

Christian Brennecke (Harvard): On the TAP equations for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Model

In this talk, I will review the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) equations for the classical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass and present a dynamical derivation, valid at sufficiently high temperature. In our derivation, the TAP equations follow as a simple consequence of the decay of the two point correlation functions. The methods can also be used to establish decay of higher order correlation functions. We illustrate this by proving a suitable decay bound on the three point functions which implies an analogue of the TAP equations for the two point functions. The talk is based on joint work with A. Adhikari, P. von Soosten and H.T. Yau.

Quantum spin glasses: a mathematical challenge

Abstract:

The theory of classical mean-field spin glasses is a well-established and celebrated field within probability theory.
The addition of a constant perpendicular magnetic field introduces a non-commuting term into the energy of such spin glasses and hence
causes quantum effects. The main aim of this talk is to give an overview over some of the motivations for the study of quantum spin glasses. I will also review some first mathematical results in this field. Among them is a derivation of the key features of the thermal phase diagram of the simplest of all mean-field spin glasses, the quantum random energy model.

Matthias Erbar (Bonn):

A variational characterization of the Sine_ß point process:

Abstract:

The one-dimensional log gas in finite volume is a system of particles interacting via a repulsive logarithmic potential and confined by some external field. When the number of particles goes to infinity, their macroscopic empirical distribution approaches a deterministic limit shape. When zooming in one sees microscopic fluctuations around this limit which are described in the limit by a stationary point process, the Sine_ß process constructed by Valko and Virag. Leblé and Serfaty have established a large deviation principle for the microscopic configurations governed by a rate function which is the sum of a specific entropy and a renormalized interaction energy. Thus the typical microscopic behavior of the gas is described by the minimizers of this free energy functional, one of which is the Sine_ß process. We show that this is indeed the unique minimizer. Our argument is based on optimal transport of random point configurations and exploits strict displacement convexity in the free energy functional.

Gaussian multiplicative chaos in the Wiener space

Roland Bauerschmidt: Dynamics of strongly correlated spin systems
I will discuss some results on the problem of understanding the long-time behaviour of Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics of spin systems in the regimes of strong correlations. This is joint work with Thierry Bodineau.

Chiranjib Mukherjee: Gaussian multiplicative chaos in the Wiener space
In the classical finite dimensional setting, a Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMC) is obtained by tilting an ambient measure by the exponential of a centred Gaussian field indexed by a domain in the Euclidean space. In the two-dimensional setting and when the underlying field is "log-correlated", GMC measures share close connection to the 2D Liouville quantum gravity, which has seen a lot of revived interest in the recent years.
A natural question is to construct a GMC in the infinite dimensional setting, where techniques based on log-correlated fields in finite dimensions are no longer available. In the present context, we consider a GMC on the classical Wiener space, driven by a (mollified) Gaussian space-time white noise. In $d\geq 3$, in a previous work with A. Shamov and O. Zeitouni, we showed that the total mass of this GMC, which is directly connected to the (smoothened) Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in $d\geq 3$, converges for small noise intensity to a well-defined strictly positive random variable, while for larger intensity (i.e. for small temperature) it collapses to zero. We will report on joint work with Yannic Bröker (Münster) where we study the endpoint distribution of a Brownian path under the GMC measure and show that, for low temperature, the endpoint GMC distribution localizes in few spatial islands and produces asymptotically purely atomic states.

Random walks among random conductances as rough paths

Sebastian Andres (University of Cambridge): Local Limit Theorems for the Random Conductance Model

The random conductance model is a well-established model for a random walk in random environment. In recent years, quenched functional central limit theorems and quenched local limit theorems for such random walks have been intensively studied, and such results have meanwhile been established also in the case of general ergodic, degenerate environments only satisfying a moment condition.

In this talk we will review those results and also discuss an annealed local limit theorem in the case of time-dependent conductances which can be used to prove a scaling limit result for the space-time covariances in the Ginzburg-Landau $\nabla\varphi$ model. This result applies to convex potentials for which the second derivative may be unbounded.

This talk is based on a joint work with Peter Taylor (Cambridge).

Martin Slowik (TU Berlin): Random walks among random conductances as rough paths

The random conductances model is a class of random walks in a reversible random environment.  Depending on the assumptions on the law of the environment, invariance principles à la Donsker (in uniform topology) are fairly well understood for such random walks. However, if the random walk acts as a noise term in a differential equation, scaling limits in a finer topology (rough path topology) has to be established in order to understand the convergence properties of the solution. After reviewing the results and methods that has been used to prove annealed and quenched invariance principles, I will discuss an annealed invariance principle in the rough path topology.

Im Anschluss gemeinsame Nachsitzung.

15:15  Prof. Alexander Schnurr (Siegen): The fourth characteristic of a semimartingale

We extend the class of semimartingales in a natural way. This allows us to incorporate processes having paths that leave the state space R^d. By carefully distinguishing between two killing states, we are able to introduce a fourth semimartingale characteristic which generalizes the fourth part of the Levy quadruple. Using the probabilistic symbol, we analyze the close relationship between the generators of certain Markov processes with killing and their (now four) semimartingale characteristics.

 

16:45 Prof. Markus Bibinger (Marburg): Statistical analysis of path properties of volatility

In this talk, we review recent contributions on statistical theory to infer path properties of volatility. The interest is in the latent volatility of an Itô semimartingale, the latter being discretely observed over a fixed time horizon.

We consider tests to discriminate continuous paths from paths with volatility jumps. Both a local test for jumps at specified times and a global test for jumps over the whole observation interval are discussed.

We establish consistency and optimality properties under infill asymptotics, also for observations with additional additive noise.

Recently, there is high interest in the smoothness regularity of the volatility process as conflicting models are proposed in the literature.

To address this point, we consider inference on the Hurst exponent of fractional stochastic volatility processes. Even though the regularity of the volatility determines optimal spot volatility estimation methods, forecasting techniques and the volatility persistence, its identifiability is one of the few unsolved questions in high-frequency statistics. We discuss a first approach which can reveal if path properties are stable over time or changing. Eventually, we discuss some recent considerations and conjectures on this open question.

15:15 Jakob Björnberg (Universität Göteborg): Random permutations and the Heisenberg model

Abstract:We discuss models for random permutations which are closely linked to quantum spin systems from statistical physics.

The cycle structure of the random permutations is intimately connected with the correlation structure in the spin-system, and it is expected that this cycle structure converges to a distribution known as Poisson--Dirichlet, in the limit of large systems.  This problem is still open but we present some partial progress.

 

16:45 Dr. Piotr Miłoś (Universität Warschau):Phase transition for the interchange and quantum Heisenberg models on the Hamming graph

Abstract: In my talk I will present a family of random permutation models on the 2-dimensional Hamming graph H(2,n), containing the interchange process and the cycle-weighted interchange process with parameter θ>0. This family contains the random representation of the quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet. The main result is that in these models the cycle structure of permutations undergoes a phase transition -- when the number of transpositions defining the permutation is <cn^2, for small enough c>0, all cycles are microscopic, while for more than >Cn^2 transpositions, for large enough C>0, macroscopic cycles emerge with high probability. For the quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet on H(2,n) this implies that for low enough temperatures spontaneous magnetization occurs, while it is not the case for high temperatures. At the core of our approach is a novel application of the cyclic random walk, which might be of independent interest. By analyzing explorations of the cyclic random walk, we show that sufficiently long cycles of a random permutation are uniformly spread on the graph, which makes it possible to compare our models to the mean-field case, i.e., the interchange process on the complete graph, extending the approach used earlier by Schramm (joint work with Radosław Adamczak, Michał Kotowski).

We discuss the convergence in classical (central) limit theorems measured in relative entropy based divergences. This includes Entropy, Fisher-Information as well as Renyi-Divergences. Analogues of these expansions of divergences relative to the Wigner law in non-commutative probability are discussed as well.

16:45 Michael Scheutzow (TU Berlin): Generalized couplings and ergodicity

The coupling method is a classical tool to establish uniqueness and stability of an invariant measure of a Markov process. In this talk we recall the concept of a generalized coupling and show how it can be used to prove ergodicity (including rates of convergence). The approach is particularly useful in the analysis of stochastic delay equations and some class of SPDEs. This is joint work with Alex Kulik (Kiev) and Oleg Butkovsky (Haifa/Berlin).

15:15 Louigi Addario-Berry (McGill University, Montreal): The front location for branching Brownian motion with decay of mass

Consider a standard branching Brownian motion whose particles have varying mass. At time t, if a total mass m of particles have distance less than one from a fixed particle x, then the mass of particle x decays at rate m. The total mass increases via branching events: on branching, a particle of mass m creates two identical mass-m particles.

One may define the front of this system as the point beyond which there is a total mass less than one (or beyond which the expected mass is less than one). This model possesses much less independence than standard BBM, and martingales are hard to come by. However, using careful tracking of particle trajectories and a PDE approximation to the particle system, we are able to prove an almost sure law of large numbers for the front speed. We also show that, almost surely, there are arbitrarily large times at which the front lags distance ~ c t^{1/3} behind the typical BBM front. At a high level, our argument for the latter may be described as a proof by contradiction combined with fine estimates on the probability Brownian motion stays in a narrow tube of varying width.

This is joint work with Sarah Penington and Julien Berestycki.

16: 45 Julien Berestycki (University of Oxford): The hydrodynamic limit of two variants of Branching Brownian motion

In this talk, I'll consider two variants of branching Brownian motion (BBM): with decay of mass (as in Louigi's talk) and with selection. In the BBM with selection, the number of particles is fixed at some number N and is kept constant by killing the leftmost particle at each branching event. Both models are motivated by considerations from ecology and evolutionary biology.

A particle system has a hydrodynamic limit when, as the number of particles tends to infinity, the behaviour of the system becomes well approximated by the solution of a partial differential equation. In this case I will show that the behaviour of the BBM with decay of mass is governed by the non-local version of the celebrated Fisker-KPP equation while the BBM with selection tends to the solution of a new free boundary problem also in the Fisher-KPP class that we study.

This is based on joint work with Louigi Addario-Berry and Sarah Penington on the one hand and Eric Brunet and Sarah Penington on the other.

15:15 Daniel Valesin (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen): The asymmetric multitype contact process

We study a class of interacting particle systems known as the multitype contact process on Z^d. In this model, sites of Z^d can be either empty or occupied by an individual of one of two species. Individuals die with rate one and send descendants to neighboring sites with a rate that depends on their (the parent's) type. Births are not allowed at sites that are already occupied. We assume that one of the types has a birth rate that is larger than that of the other type, and larger than the critical value of the standard contact process. We prove that, if initially present, the stronger type has a positive probability of never going extinct. Conditionally on this event, it takes over a ball of radius growing linearly in time. We also completely characterize the set of stationary distributions of the process and prove a complete convergence theorem.

Joint work with Pedro L.B. Pantoja and Thomas Mountford.

16:45 Jan Swart (UTIA, Prag): The mean-field dual of systems with cooperative branching

In this talk we consider interacting particle systems where pairs of particles can give birth to new particles, and in addition particles die with a certain rate. We are interested in the random map that describes how the state at a given time depends on the initial state, for well-mixing populations in the limit that the size of the population is large. We will reveal an interesting link to Random Tree Processes

(RTPs) as studied by Aldous and Bandyopadhyay, which are a sort of Markov chains with a tree-like time parameter. In particular, we will discuss endogeny of RTPs related to systems with cooperative branching.

This is joint work with Tibor Mach (Prague) and Anja Sturm (Göttingen).
