The aim of our workshop is to foster a lively discussion on current risk management topics between academics (with an interest in actuarial science and mathematical finance) and professionals from related fields (actuaries, risk managers, financial engineers). During the two days of the workshop, high-level speakers (from the financial industry and academia) will present on recent results on practical and methodological aspects of risk management in the insurance context. The workshop will take place on October 5 and 6, 2023 at the Technical University of Munich. https://www.math.cit.tum.de/mathfinance/munich-risk-and-insurance-days-2023/

Machine learning algorithms and data science techniques are getting increasingly popular among researchers in the humanities („Digital humanities”). In this workshop, we aim to bring together students and young researchers working in mathematics, computer science, the humanities and cultural history, to learn about state-of-the-art tools, both those readily designed with a specific use in the humanities in mind, and novel research, which could have a potential usecase in the digital humanities.

Keynotes Keynote speakers include

Massimo Fornasier (TUM, Mathematics) Olga Popovich (TUM, Engineering) Stefan Baums (LMU & BADW, Indian and Tibetan Studies) Nicola Lercari (LMU, Digital Cultural Heritage)

Workshops The following four hour intensive workshops are designed for PhD students and postdocs, to learn state-of-the-art tools and methodology for text-based research. Please bring a laptop to the workshop.

The Abelian sandpile model on a graph G is a Markov chain whose state space is a subset of the set of functions with integer values defined on the vertices of G . The set of recurrent states of this Markov chain is called the sandpile group and the Abelian sandpile model can be then viewed as a random walk on a finite group. Then it is natural to ask about the stationary distribution and the speed of convergence to stationarity, and how do these quantities depend on the underlying graph . I will report on some recents results on Abelian sandpiles on fractal graphs, and state some open questions concerning the critical exponents for such processes. The talk is based on joint works with Nico Heizmann, Robin Kaiser and Yuwen Wang.
