In this talk we will discuss the validity of Harnack inequalities for linear evolution equations modelled after the Kolmogorov operator. The main focus will be on nondivergence form equations with non-smooth coefficients, and on the absence of an analogue of the ABP maximum principle and of the Krylov-Safonov theory in this setting. In particular, we will highlight as the (very general) crucial ingredient some quantitative point-to-measure estimate for nonnegative subsolutions. With this perspective in mind, we will show a potential theory approach (established in a 2019 joint work with F. Abedin) which allows to prove invariant Harnack inequalities for Kolmogorov-type operators with coefficients satisfying either a Cordes-Landis assumption or a continuity hypothesis.

Stochastic processes can be parametrised by time (such as occurs in Markov chains), in which case conditioning is one-sided (on the past)
or by one-dimensional space (which is the case, for example, for one-dimensional Markov fields), where conditioning is two-sided (on the right and on the left).
I will discuss some examples, in particular generalising this distinction to g-measures versus Gibbs measures, where, instead of a Markovian dependence, the weaker property of continuity (in the product topology) is considered.
In particular I will discuss when the two descriptions (one-sided or two-sided) produce the same objects and when they are different. We show moreover the role one-dimensional entropic repulsion plays in this setting.
Based on joint work with R. Bissacot, E. Endo and A. Le Ny, and S. Shlosman

The aim of this talk consists in introducing a formalism for the deterministic analysis associated
with backward stochastic differential equations driven by general càdlàg martingales, coupled with
a forward process. When the martingale is a standard Brownian motion, the natural deterministic analysis is
provided by the solution u of a semilinear PDE of parabolic type coupled with a function v which
is associated with the gradient ∇u, when u is of class C1 in space. When u is only a viscosity
solution of the PDE, the link associating v to u is not completely clear: sometimes in the literature
it is called the identification problem. We introduce in particular the notion of a decoupled mild
solution of a PDE, a IPDE, a path-dependent PDE or more generally a deterministic problem
associated with a BSDE. The idea is to introduce a suitable analysis to investigate the equivalent of the identification
problem first in a general Markovian setting with a class of examples. An interesting application
concerns the hedging problem under basis risk of a contingent claim g(XT,ST ), where S (resp.
X) is an underlying price of a traded (resp. non-traded but observable) asset, via the celebrated
Föllmer-Schweizer decomposition. We revisit the case when the couple of price processes (X,S) is
a diffusion and we provide explicit expressions when (X,S) is an exponential of additive processes.
Extensions to non-Markovian (path-dependent) cases are discussed.

In stochastic dynamics inspired by Statistical Mechanics the interaction between different particles, or agents, is usually expressed as a given function of their states. The behavior of the system, in the limit of infinitely many particles (thermodynamic limit), may change dramatically by small changes in the parameters of the model: when this occurs we say there is a phase transition. In many applications the interaction cannot be given a priori but it is rather a result of agents’ strategy, aimed at optimizing a given performance. Using the simplest models of this nature, mean field games, we illustrate some examples of phase transitions, pointing to difficulties in the proof of the thermodynamic limit.

We consider simple random walks on two directed versions of the $\mathbb{Z}^2$ lattice; one characteristic feature of these random walks is that they are bound to revolve, according to the orientation prescribed by the edges. The first model was studied by Campanino and Petritis(‘03) and shown to be transient; the other one appeared recently in a paper by Menshikov et al. (’17), where the authors conjectured its recurrence.
We shall indeed confirm this conjecture: our proof is done by considering a continuous analogue of the random walk and then applying the Lyapunov function criteria. On the other hand, we obtain a local limit theorem for the return probabilities of the first random walk, which in particular gives a new proof of transience. Finally, we deduce some results related to the winding number for both random walks.
This results are joint work with Y.Peres (Microsoft Research, Redmond) and Y.Hu (University of Washington).

We consider sequences of partial sums of
iid Gaussian random sets (with respect to the Minkowski sum)
and we study the asymptotic behavior of some hitting
probabilities (of suitable sets of $R^d$) for these partial
sums. We also illustrate the use of the importance sampling
for the estimation of these hitting probabilities by Monte
Carlo simulations. We obtain the analog of well-known
results for level crossing probabilities of random walks,
and we refer to a version of the classical Cramér's Theorem
in large deviations for random compact sets existing in the
literature. Joint work with Barbara Pacchiarotti.

The standard (Kolmogorovian) notion of conditional probability is compared
with the (de Finettian) notion based on the coherence principle. Each notion has both merits and drawbacks, and the talk aims to highlight them with special attention to the connection points. Various results, both old and new, are discussed and some open problems are mentioned. The talk is split into four
parts.
(i) Classical (Kolmogorovian) conditional probabilities;
(ii) Disintegrability;
(iii) Coherent (de Finettian) conditional probabilities;
(iv) Some statistical implications.
