    Nuove idee alle origini dell'algebra moderna

    No full text
    In questo lavoro ho cercato di esporre alcune tra le idee principali che portarono alla nascita dell'algebra moderna. Ho fatto riferimento principalmente alle idee di Galois, di Hamilton e di Grassmann e ho cercato di evidenziare come i loro ruoli siano stati utili nell'elaborazione di nuovi concetti

    Il problema dei due cammini disgiunti: teoria e algoritmi risolutivi

    No full text
    Il presente lavoro ha come oggetto principale il problema dei due cammini disgiunti. Una semplice descrizione del problema viene data a partire da un grafo nel quale vengono selezionate due coppie di vertici. Lo scopo della trattazione è conoscere in quali grafi sia possibile trovare due cammini disgiunti che colleghino le due coppie di vertici, e successivamente ricavare algoritmi che permettano di individuarli in caso di risposta affermativa

    Syntomic regulators

    In this work we introduce different p-adic cohomology theories with a particular ispiration to the Deligne-Beilinson one in the trascendental situation. We will introduce the concept of regulator map as an "higher cycle map" from the higher Chow groups to cohomology theories that we choose to deal with. Our goal is to develop a p-adic theory introduced by Gros and provide a regulator map for it. Some aspect are still open, but this theory allows us to have a connection between Besser and p-adic étale cohomolgy theories in terms of these regulator maps

    On symplectic structures in information geometry

    Information Geometry (Amari) gives us a framework to investigate probability theory and statistics using notions of differential geometry. The principal object of Information Geometry is the concept of divergence function which acts as a pseudo-distance between two probability distributions because it does not satisfy the symmetry property. Divergence functions are often used to define a Riemannian statistical structure on finite dimensional manifold M endowed with a dual coordinate system, as we will show for the prototypical Exponential Family which will arise from the solutions of the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP). Since the final aim of this thesis is to study the role of the symplectic structures in the context of the Information Geometry, it will be useful the notion of yoke (Barndorff-Nielsen), i.e. a generalization of the divergence function, that given a manifold M permits to define via pull-back a symplectic structure on M^2 from the canonical one over T^*M. Moreover thanks to the Maslov-Hormander Theorem it will be possible to obtain a local description of Lagrangian submanifolds, which are fundamental objects in Symplectic Geometry, and to study the prototype of a statistical manifold generated by a divergence function on which to construct a symplectic structure, i.e. the Exponential family M(h,k) with the KL. Since the MEP is a powerful tool that allows to single out a unique probability distribution for given constraints, we will conclude our work studying the Lagrangian ubmanifolds generated from the maximization problem given by the MEP with nonlinear constraints by the application of the MaslovHormander Theorem to the Lagrange Multipliers method (LMM). There will be also a study of the Lagrangian submanifolds given from the solutions of the LMM in T^*M(h, k) and the corresponding image of the submanifold to M(h, k)^2

    A machine learning approach to football betting market

    No full text
    In the Soccer Betting Market it is very hard to find a strategy to get a high return. However, by leveraging Machine Learning (ML) we are able to find a good strategy. We firstly use simple ML algorithms to predict the result of each match, and then we combine them into more complicated ones. Betting on the result of each of these models gives us a profit and loss, so that we have different assets and we can construct a portfolio. Using Optimization and ML techniques we find how to give reasonable weights to the assets in our portfolio in order to get a well performing asset, that will be our final strategy. We will see that this is an even better proxy of the Growth Optimal Portfolio (GOP) then the equally weighted portfolio, whose performance is usually very hard to beat
