Técnico Open Day

05/04/2025 10:00

@ Campus Alameda

Free of charge, with over a hundred activities for all ages. The Alameda campus, in Lisbon, will open its doors allowing visitors to explore what is being taught and the different types of research (and much more) conducted at Técnico’s three campi. Projects developed by students, scientists and professors will be showcased at an event where it will also be possible to visit laboratories and learn more about the School’s training offer.

There will be an interactive exhibition featuring several research and innovation projects, including experiments organised by both researchers and students. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to tour several teaching and research laboratories, guided by students and professors.

Duality and symmetry in interacting particle systems

Duality is an important concept in the study of stochastic interacting particle systems. For arbitrary initial measures duality expresses expectations of a family of functions at time in terms of the transition probability of a dual process which may be simpler to analyse. Focussing on countable state space we discuss duality from the perspective of the generator. Unlike the more traditional approach of looking at duality in a pathwise manner this allows us to understand straightforwardly how dualities arise from symmetries, or more generally, from invariant subspaces of the generator and leads to constructive methods for finding useful dualities. Also the new concept of reverse duality comes out naturally. It yields the full probability measure of the process at time t for a family of initial measures in terms of transition probabilities of the dual process and thus allows for the computation of arbitrary expectation values.

Sessions on March 19 and 20, 1:00PM to 2:30PM.
