Resumo: The quasi-static scaling limit corresponds to changes of the boundary conditions (boundary tension, temperature heat bath, density of particle reservoirs) on a time scale that is slower (i.e. larger) than the equilibrium relaxation scale of the dynamics in the bulk. In this very large time scale, the system is always very close to the global stationary state corresponding to the (time varying) tension, temperatures or densities applied at the boundaries. These quasi-static evolutions are usually presented as idealization of real thermodynamic transformations. On the other hand they are necessary concepts in order to construct thermodynamic potentials, for example to define thermodynamic entropy from Carnot cycles. The existence of the quasi-static transformations can be seen as another thermodynamic principle that needs to be derived from the microscopic dynamics under a proper space-time scaling that we call quasi-static hydrodynamic limit. We are particularly interested in studying quasi-static transformations among non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS). I will expose some results concerning quasi-static hydrodynamic limits for dynamics with diffusive behavior (like symmetric simple exclusion and anharmonic chains in contact with heat bath in the bulk and tension at the boundary) and hyperbolic/ballistic behavior (like the asymmetric simple exclusion). We also studies the large deviations from these quasi-static limits and the relation with the large deviations in the corresponding NESS. Works in collaboration with Anna de Masi, Lu Xu, Stefano Marchesani.

Frank den Hollander (Leiden University) - The Parabolic Anderson Model on a Galton-Watson Tree

We consider the parabolic Anderson model on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree with an i.i.d.\ random potential whose marginal distribution is close to the double-exponential. Under the assumption that the degree distribution has a sufficiently thin tail, we derive an asymptotic expansion for large times of the total mass of the solution given that initially a unit mass sits at the root. We derive the expansion both under the quenched law (i.e., conditional on the realisation of the random tree and the random potential) and under the half-annealed law (i.e., conditional on the realisation of the random tree but averaged over the random potential). The two expansions turn out to be different, but both contain a coefficient that is given by a variational formula indicating that the solution concentrates on a subtree with minimal degree according to a computable profile. A key tool in the analysis is the large deviation principle for the empirical distribution of a Markov renewal process.

Donatas Surgailis (Vilnius University) - Local Scaling Limits of Lévy Driven Fractional Random Fields

We obtain a complete description of local anisotropic scaling limits for a class of fractional random fields $X$ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ written as stochastic integral with respect to an infinitely divisible random measure. The scaling procedure involves increments of $X$ over points the distance between which in the horizontal and vertical directions shrinks as $O(\lambda) $ and $O(\lambda^\gamma)$ respectively as $\lambda \downarrow 0$, for some $\gamma>0$. We consider two types of increments of $X$: usual increment and rectangular increment, leading to the respective concepts of $\gamma$-tangent and $\gamma$-rectangent random fields. We prove that for above $X$ both types of local scaling limits exist for any $\gamma>0$ and undergo a transition, being independent of $\gamma>\gamma_0$ and $\gamma<\gamma_0$, for some $\gamma_0>0$; moreover, the `unbalanced' scaling limits ($\gamma\ne\gamma_0$) are $(H_1,H_2)$-multi self-similar with one of $H_i$, $i=1,2$, equal to $0$ or $1$. The paper extends Pilipauskaite and Surgailis (2017) and Surgailis (2020) on large-scale anisotropic scaling of random fields on ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ and Benassi et al. (2004) on $1$-tangent limits of isotropic fractional Lévy random fields.

Título: Local Symmetry in Erdős–Rényi Graphs

Resumo: Real-world networks are often understood as being symmetrical, meaning that vertices can be found which perform similar or equivalent structural roles (such as hubs from different communities in social networks, or functional regions in neuronal networks). These roles are usually associated with their topological placement relative to its surroundings; however, traditional mathematical formulations of graph symmetry are based on automorphism groups, which depend fundamentally on global structure and do not account for similarities in local structures. In this work, we introduce the concept of local symmetry, which reflects the structural equivalence of vertices' egonets while generalizing classical conceptualizations of symmetry such as automorphism and isomorphism. We also study the emergence of local asymmetry in Erdős–Rényi graphs, identifying regimes of both asymptotic local symmetry and asymptotic local asymmetry. We find that local symmetry persists at least to an average degree of n^{1/3} and local asymmetry emerges at an average degree not greater than n^{1/2}, which are regimes of much larger average degree than for traditional, global asymmetry.
