Probability Seminar (Ruoyu Wu)

Gardner 210

Speaker: Ruoyu Wu (UNC) Title: Moderate Deviation Principles for Weakly Interacting Particle Systems Abstract: Moderate deviation principles for empirical measure processes associated with weakly interacting Markov processes are established. Two families of models are considered: the first corresponds to a … Continue reading

Probability Seminar (Harry Crane)

Gardner 210

Speaker: Harry Crane (Rutgers) Title: Probabilistic symmetries in networks I discuss various refinements and extensions of the principle of exchangeability, focusing on 3 specific cases: 1. Relative exchangeability, by which the distribution of a random graph is invariant with respect … Continue reading

Sayan Banerjee (UNC Reading group)

Hanes 125 Hanes Hall, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, United States

I will discuss some techniques used in investigating the existence, uniqueness and asymptotics of stationary distributions for diffusion processes on non-compact spaces that arise in several physical models. These problems are more challenging when the driving noise is low dimensional (hypoelliptic … Continue reading
