    • Aula Seminari - III Piano
    • Abstract
      Let $n>2, \gamma>(n-1)/(n-2)$, and $\lambda$ a real number. Let $\mathrm{Ric}$ denote the lowest eigenvalue of the Ricci tensor. I will show that if $M$ and $N$ are two smooth n-dimensional manifolds that admit a complete Riemannian metric satisfying $-\gamma\Delta+\mathrm{Ric}>\lambda$, then their connected sum also admits a metric with the same property.
      The construction is geometrically similar to a Gromov-Lawson tunnel, and the range $\gamma>(n-1)/(n-2)$ is sharp for this result to hold. Join work with K. Xu.

    • The Hilbert function: an invariant for the code equivalence problem
    • Wednesday, 22 October 2025 at 14:00 right
    • Aula Seminari III piano
    • Abstract
      The code equivalence problem asks whether two given linear codes are isometric. It plays a fundamental role in code-based cryptography and identifying an invariant that discriminates structured codes from random ones results in mining any security proof of a scheme and could potentially lead to an attack. In this talk, we will see how the Hilbert function can be used to distinguish non-equivalent families of linear codes even when it is not possible to do so with classical invariants. In the first part, we will focus on the case of linear codes with the Hamming metric, while in the second part we will see how these ideas can be extended to $\F_q^m$-linear rank-metric codes. In particular, we will show that it is possible to distinguish a Gabidulin code from a random one. This talk is based on a joint work with V. Astore, M. Borello, and M. Calderini.

    • Abstract
      In questo seminario si farà un'ampia carrellata storica sul concetto di funzione: come si è evoluto nei secoli, da quali esigenze è nato, quali problemi matematici sono legati al suo sorgere, precisarsi, affermarsi. Vedremo come in questa storia si intreccino molte idee profonde. Si può dire anzi che il concetto di funzione sia un esempio paradigmatico del modo in cui nascono e si evolvono le idee in matematica: che ruolo giocano la logica interna, da una parte, e le motivazioni esterne, provenienti da problemi del mondo reale, dall'altra? Qual è il ruolo del rigore e quale quello dell'intuizione? Sarà quindi una storia delle idee e un'occasione per riflettere anche su concetti che noi oggi consideriamo elementari e forse scontati.

    • Abstract
      In this paper, we propose a unified methodology for pricing general path-dependent derivatives (e.g., Asian and Barrier options) that is based on the Monte Carlo-Conditional Fourier-cosine method and works for a broad class of stochastic volatility models. The main benefit of the proposed approach over existing literature consists in a simple and effective control of the error. A practitioner simply needs to provide the pricing algorithm with two parameters: i) a probability, q; ii) an error tolerance epsilon. Then, our proposed algorithm provides a price approximation that differs by no more than epsilon from the true unknown option price with probability at least equal to q. We provide an explicit link between the variance of the Monte Carlo simulation estimator of the option price, the error tolerance, and the number of simulations. In this way, the pricing methodology becomes extremely efficient when combined with effective variance reduction techniques that drastically reduce the number of simulations (and, consequently, the computing time) required to obtain an arbitrarily accurate price estimate.

    • Brill-Noether loci of pencils with prescribed ramification
    • Wednesday, 29 October 2025 at 14:00 right
    • Aula Seminari III piano
    • Abstract
      Classical Brill-Noether theory studies projective algebraic curves through maps to projective space, using the language of linear series. A natural refinement of this framework considers linear series with prescribed ramification, leading to a deeper understanding of the geometry of curves and their maps. In this talk, I will address the problem of the existence and dimension of Brill–Noether varieties of pencils (i.e., linear series of rank one) with prescribed ramifications. I will compare this refined theory to the classical Brill–Noether problem, and present recent joint work with Andreas Leopold Knutsen, which yields new results and improves upon the previous state of the art.

    • Abstract
      The talk will focus on spin physics in semiconductors, including a historical overview (starting with the pioneering studies of the sixties and seventies) and recent developments aimed at the realization of spintronic devices. Experimental methods for studying spin properties in semiconductors will be discussed, as well as the role of deposition/fabrication techniques, which enable the realization of nanostructured samples (ultrathin films, quantum wells, multilayers). Topics such as electron spin injection and spin relaxation times will be addressed. Special emphasis will be given to optical methods and Group IV semiconductors, a research field in which my group at the Department of Physics is particularly active.

      modellizzazione matematica, si partirà da due concetti cardine della
      fisica classica, la conservazione della massa e la seconda legge di Newton,
      per derivare un modello giocattolo che descrive il moto di un fluido
      comprimibile contenuto in un tubo.

    • Abstract
      Recent theories suggest that a fundamental reason for sleep is simply clearance of metabolic waste produced during the activities of the day. A crucial component of these theories are the fluid flow within and around the brain, in health and disease.

      In this talk we will present multi-physics problems and numerical schemes that target these applications. In particular, we will be lead from basic applications of neuroscience into multi-physics problems and interfaces coupled problems involving Stokes, Biot, and Darcy problems for describing the fluid-structure interaction between the brain and its fluids. Particular focus for us has been the exploitation of fractional solvers at the brain-fluid interface for creating efficient monolithic solvers.

      La ricerca, l'uso e lo studio di oggetti cosiddetti "invarianti" sono idee estremamente comuni in tutta la storia della ricerca matematica. In questo seminario, cercheremo di spiegare il concetto generale di invariante risolvendo dapprima dei semplici indovinelli. Questo ci
      porterà a parlare della storia della Congettura di Poincarè, un problema di geometria formulato a inizio '900 e che ha trovato una soluzione solo nei primi anni 2000, portando una rivoluzione nell'analisi e nella geometria moderna. Infine, risolveremo insieme il problema della classificazione dei cosiddetti solidi platonici, esponendo una strategia che coinvolge un ultimo "invariante geometrico" e che può essere riproposta a studenti delle scuole superiori.

    • Abstract
      In questo incontro racconteremo gli anni forse meno noti della vita di Niccolò Tartaglia, quelli che seguirono la diatriba con Gerolamo Cardano.

      Tra il marzo del 1548 e l'ottobre del 1549, Tartaglia fece infatti ritorno a Brescia, sua città di origine, invitato da alcuni importanti personaggi per tenere delle lezioni sulla geometria di Euclide. Quello che doveva essere un ritorno trionfale nella sua città si rivelò invece essere un vero incubo per Tartaglia: mancati pagamenti, scomodi viaggi nella provincia, ospiti indesiderati a casa e, se ciò non bastasse, il cimento reale con Ludovico Ferrari a Milano. Tartaglia raccontò queste sue disavventure nella "Travagliata Inventione" e nel "General Trattato".

      Il racconto di queste vicende ci permetterà di approfondire anche l'opera del matematico bresciano, con particolare attenzione ai suoi contributi riguardanti la risoluzione algebrica delle equazioni di terzo grado.

    • Abstract
      Exploring Math è il titolo di un libro che raccoglie l’esperienza del La.M.Po. (Laboratorio di Matematica del Politecnico di Torino) attraverso la descrizione di nove attività di laboratorio, inizialmente pensate per il primo anno di università e facilmente adattabili alla scuola secondaria. Queste attività sono state ideate per stimolare l’interesse per la matematica e per incoraggiarne lo studio: rendono la classe attiva mettendo al centro oggetti concreti e problemi reali. Pensiamo al problema di tracciare curve nel piano: non riguarda solo i matematici, ma anche, ad esempio, gli ingegneri meccanici e i costruttori. Questo è lo spunto per discutere di meccanismi che tracciano curve, interpretate come curve parametriche. Parleremo in particolare di come tracciare una retta. Non è facile come sembra.

    • Abstract
      In questo seminario si esploreranno alcuni aspetti applicativi della Teoria dei Grafi e dell'Ottimizzazione Combinatoria, due settori della Matematica che hanno avuto un grande sviluppo negli ultimi decenni grazie alla loro capacità di modellizzare e risolvere problemi
      reali. L'intervento, che non richiede prerequisiti specifici, avrà un taglio divulgativo e sarà ricco di esempi per mostrare come la matematica sia fondamentale nel nostro quotidiano.

      Nella parte introduttiva si mostreranno appunto esempi concreti di utilizzo dei grafi in ambiti diversi: dalle neuroscienze per lo studio di malattie degenerative quali l'Alzheimer, allo studio delle relazioni tra utenti di un social network. Poi l'attenzione si sposterà sul settore dei trasporti, ambito in cui la teoria dei grafi trova grandi applicazioni. In particolare, verrà spiegato, in modo semplice e intuitivo, l'algoritmo di Djikstra alla base dei navigatori GPS, facendo alcuni richiami sugli algoritmi e ricordando figure fondamentali dal punto di vista storico quali Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi e Ada Lovelace.

    • Abstract
      In questo seminario saranno discussi i risultati di recenti studi mirati a investigare potenzialità e criticità connesse all’uso dell’IA generativa come strumento a supporto dei processi metacognitivi nella risoluzione di problemi matematici. Gli studi condotti hanno riguardato, in particolare, l’uso di GPT4o, da parte di studenti del biennio della scuola secondaria di II grado, per affrontare problemi che coinvolgono processi di esplorazione in ambito aritmetico, lo sviluppo di congetture e la costruzione di dimostrazioni attraverso l’uso del linguaggio algebrico.
      A partire dalla riflessione sui principali schemi d’uso sviluppati dagli studenti nel corso della loro interazione con GPT4o e sulle interpretazioni che gli studenti danno dei processi di genesi strumentale che li vedono protagonisti, si evidenzieranno elementi di criticità caratterizzanti l’interazione tra utenti umani e IA generativa. Si concluderà proponendo spunti sul ruolo che i docenti possono svolgere nel supportare gli studenti nell’adottare un approccio critico e riflessivo all’uso dell’IA generativa nel problem solving matematico.

    • Abstract
      The assessment of monotone dependence between random variables $X$ and $Y$ is a classical problem in statistics and a gamut of application domains. Consequently, researchers have sought measures of association that are invariant under strictly increasing transformations of the margins, with the extant literature being splintered. Rank correlation coefficients, such as Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau, have been studied at great length in the statistical literature, mostly under the assumption that $X$ and $Y$ are continuous. In the case of a dichotomous outcome $Y$, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and the asymmetric area under the ROC curve (AUC) measure are used to assess monotone dependence of $Y$ on a covariate $X$. In this talk I demonstrate that the two thus far disconnected strands of literature can be unified and bridged, by developing common population level theory, common estimators, and common tests that apply to all types of linearly ordered outcomes. In case studies, we assess progress in artificial intelligence (AI) based weather prediction and evaluate methods of uncertainty quantification for the output of large language models. The talk is based on joint work with Eva-Maria Walz and Andreas Eberl.
