Europe/Rome 2021-02-22 07:00:00 2021-03-19 21:00:00 Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems | (smr 3556) An ICTP Virtual Meeting ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems, organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 22 February to 19 March 2021. Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterized by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom, giving rise to a non-trivial collective behavior. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern theoretical physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems aims to expose students to a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive, 4-week programme. It consists of 5 courses of 9 lectures each. The Spring College is part of the Master programme in the Physics of Complex Systems. The 2021 Spring College will be held online and it is open to qualified Master and PhD students. Lecturers and Courses: D. BUETI, SISSA, Italy “The Neuroscience of Space, Time and Number” M. DALMONTE and A. RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, ICTP, Italy “Data Mining the Many-body Problem” M. MARSILI, ICTP, Italy “Introduction to Mathematical Economics” E. ROLDAN, ICTP, Italy “Stochastic Thermodynamics” G. SANGUINETTI, SISSA, Italy “Probabilistic Modeling and Bayesian Inference” Registration: There is no registration fee.   Online - ICTP pio@ictp.it 22 Feb 2021 - 19 Mar 2021

Europe/Rome 2021-07-05 08:00:00 2021-07-30 22:00:00 London Mathematical Laboratory Summer School | (smr 3598) The London Mathematical Laboratory (LML) is pleased to announce its 2021 Summer School. This will be held as an ICTP Virtual school from 5 to 30 July 2021. The school engages postgraduate students for a period of four weeks on research projects under the supervision of active research scientists. Each project addresses one or more open questions in order to expose students to the frontier of scientific cross-disciplinary research in several fields (statistical physics, systems ecology, quantitative economics, dynamical systems, information and large deviation theory, and neural networks). This provides a first hand experience of “research in action”, where asking the right questions is at least as important as finding the right answers. Many previous students have found this a life changing experience that transformed their view of science as an activity and as a possible career. The list of projects: 1. Stability of ecosystems with a core-periphery structure 2. The evolution of income or wealth distribution with higher order autoregressive processes 3. Exploring the Connections between Information Theory and Ergodicity 4. Economics Through the Lens of Inequality Measurement 5. Growth incidence curves in reallocating geometric Brownian motion 6. Optimal allocation and risk parity 7. Time-average based saving versus Ensemble-average based saving and the evolution of wealth distribution 8. Learning random dynamical systems from data 9. Explainability and rationalization in decision theory: a coding theory approach 10. Beyond Rational Herding 11. Verifying interaction among different types of discrete events by using the multivariate Hawkes process 12. Anomalous diffusion in random dynamical systems 13. The trade-off between profit and time constraints and market impact 14. Large deviation theory in diluted random matrices 15. Tackling Quantum Many-Body Systems with Artificial Neural Networks Experiments in ergodicity 16. Epidemic spreading models in the presence of feedback   Supervisors include LML Fellows and colleagues from the ICTP and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA). Students will also attend a series of scientific lectures and a scientific writing course, and the School will culminate with student presentations of their research. Project Supervisors: A.
