  • Title: On calibration of diffusion processes: the multidimensional case.
  • Abstract:
We study general properties of maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs)  for drift parameters in diffusion‑type models arising under the fixed time-horison and sequential sampling schemes within the framework of multi‑dimensional processes. In extending to multivariate drift parameter estimation, we use the Liptser-Shiryaev approach to generalise the results on MLEs obtained for one-dimensional diffusion-type processes.
For multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) processes, we discuss a general approach for obtaining the bias and mean‑square errors of the MLEs under a fixed time-horison.
We also illustrate the computational aspects of calibrating multivariate O-U processes in practical applications.

  • Time: 16:50-18:20
  • Speaker: Alex Novikov (University of Technology Sydney)
  • Title: On calibration of diffusion processes: introduction to the general theory, the one‑dimensional case. 
  • Abstract:
We study the Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLEs) of drift parameters in diffusion‑type models frequently deployed in quantitative finance.
 The properties of these estimators are explored in the fixed‑horizon and sequential sampling schemes.
Extending the classical framework of Liptser–Shiryaev, we derive non‑asymptotic, semi‑analytic formulas for the moments of the MLEs
and establish their exponential boundedness. 
We show that the bias and mean‑square error of the MLEs can be computed explicitly using integral‑transform techniques. 
For ergodic diffusions, including Ornstein–Uhlenbeck and affine‑type processes, we demonstrate how to obtain exact numerical results 
together with asymptotic expansions. We also discuss how these results may be adapted to high‑frequency discrete‑time observation schemes
relevant to financial data.

  • Speaker 1: Jyoti Rani (IISER Mohali) 
  • Time:16:00-16:50
  • Title: A Study of the Joint q-Numerical Range and the A-q-Numerical Range of Operators
  • Abstract:
In this talk, we will discuss the concept of the numerical range and its extensions to different operator-theoretic frameworks. We begin with the notion of q-numerical range in multivariable operator theory, namely the joint q-numerical range. In this setting, we will discuss some equivalent conditions for the convexity of the joint q-numerical range, its relation to the joint C-numerical range, and its connections with the joint point spectrum and the joint approximate point spectrum. We will also go through a few key bounds for the joint q-numerical radius.
In the second part of the talk, we will consider the concept of the q-numerical range of a bounded linear operator in the framework of semi-Hilbertian spaces. Here, we will explore the convexity and compactness properties of the q-numerical range and present an equivalent condition for the equality case in an inequality for the q-numerical radius in semi-Hilbertian spaces. We will also examine several geometric properties of the A-q-numerical range, including spectral inclusion results and a circular disk union formula. Additionally, we will introduce the notion of an A-nilpotent operator. Furthermore, we will discuss several refined inequalities for the q-numerical radius via Orlicz functions.

  • Title:行列ゼータ関数の行列式表示
  • Abstract:
量子ウォークはランダムウォークの量子版として導入され、量子探索アルゴリズムへの応用やスペクトル構造の解析において注目を集めている。一方、伊原康隆氏によって導入された伊原ゼータ関数(Selberg型のゼータ関数)は数論の分野で登場し、Serre氏の指摘により、グラフ理論と密接に関わっていることが分かった。本講演では、これら異なる分野から登場した「量子ウォーク」と「伊原ゼータ関数」の接点である『Grover/Zeta 対応』を行列ゼータ関数の観点から紹介し、その行列式表示の構造を紐解く。この対応関係において中心的な役割を担うのが「今野・佐藤の定理」であり、その証明においては第2種重み付きゼータ関数(佐藤ゼータ)が鍵を握っている。また、時間が許せば、有限グラフが基本有限グラフの被覆となっている状況において、この今野・佐藤の定理がどのように被覆構造を反映した形式として現れるかについて焦点を当てたい。本研究は、今野紀雄氏(立命館大/横浜国立大)、佐藤巖氏(小山高専)、三橋秀生氏(法政大)との共同研究に基づく。

  • Title:Szegedy walkの一般化と無限二面体群のユニタリ表現
  • Abstract:
Szegedy walkは2部グラフ上のランダムウォークの量子版であり、量子計算における探索アルゴリズムへの応用から盛んに研究されている。
Szegedy walkを一つ固定すると、その生成に用いられる二つの部分空間の組が定まり、これらから無限二面体群のユニタリ表現が自然に得られる。
本講演では、Szegedy walkの定義を拡張した「一般化Szegedy walk」を考察する。この一般化のもとでは、任意の無限二面体群のユニタリ表現を一般化Szegedy walkとして実現できる(特定の一次元表現の違いを除いて)ことを示す。さらに、対応する2部グラフは高々次数2の重み付き有向2部グラフとして構成できることを説明する。以上の結果は、著者らによる無限二面体群のユニタリ表現に関する分解定理(Y. Fujii, T. Tsurumaru, “Estimating the spectral radius of Bell-type operators via finite dimensional approximation of orthogonal projections”, Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2026)の応用として得られる。

題目:
Introduction to Souriau’s geometric thermodynamics
概要:
Jean-Marie Souriau developed a geometric approach to equilibrium statistical mechanics based on symmetry and Lie group actions. In this introductory talk, I will present the main ideas of the theory, starting from their physical motivation and building the formalism step by step. We will see how temperature is connected to the symmetries of a system and how the space of thermodynamic states carry a natural geometric structure. The discussion will be illustrated by two simple examples: a centrifuge and the family of Gaussian distributions.

  • Title: Polar paths for generalized quantum fidelities
  • Abstract:
This talk is based on the generalized-fidelity framework introduced by Afham and Ferrie, together with recent developments from my preprint on polar fidelities, Holevo bases, and unitary factors of generalized fidelity. In this framework, a base point \[
F_R(P,Q)
=
\Tr\!\left[
(R^{1/2}PR^{1/2})^{1/2}R^{-1}
(R^{1/2}QR^{1/2})^{1/2}
\right].
\]
The framework recovers the Uhlmann, Holevo, and Matsumoto fidelities through special choices of the base.
 
\hspace{1cm}
I will discuss recent progress on the \(x\)-polar paths \(R=P^x\) and \(R=Q^x\). In particular, the associated polar fidelities form a monotone bridge from the Matsumoto fidelity to the Uhlmann fidelity, passing through the Holevo fidelity. I will also explain how this approach solves several fixed-pair realization and base-selection problems, including pointwise recovery of \(z\)-fidelities and the Log-Euclidean fidelity, the classification of Holevo bases, and the unitary factors arising from generalized fidelity. Along the way, I will mention several related open questions motivated by these results.

  • Title:量子ウォークはいつ検出されるか:測定・初検出時刻・残余検出時間
  • Abstract:
古典的なランダムウォークでは、ある集合に初めて到達する時刻は自然な確率変数として定義される。一方、量子ウォークでは、測定を指定しなければ「いつ到達したか」は確率変数として定義されない。また、「検出されなかった」という観測結果は、単なる情報更新ではなく、状態そのものを変化させる。
本講演では、古典ランダムウォークや簡単な二点量子ウォークの例から出発し、量子ウォークにおける測定、初検出時刻、生存確率、残余検出時間について説明する。特に、ユニタリ発展 U、検出射影 P、非検出射影 Q=I-P に対して、非検出発展 T=QU を考え、時刻 n まで未検出だったという条件の下で、さらにどれくらい検出されずに残るかを調べる。
有限次元の例では残余時間は幾何型になり、現在時刻と同じスケールの残余時間は残らない。一方、無限系や臨界的な状況では、生存確率のべき乗型減衰に由来して、スケール不変な残余時間分布が現れ得る。最後に、一次元 coined quantum walk や split-step quantum walk の局所検出との関係にも触れる。
