SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR. - On dimension theory of random walks and group actions by circle diffeomorphisms
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present a joint work with W. He and Y. Jiao. We study the random walks and group actions by circle diffeomorphisms. Under mild assumptions we establish several results on the dimensional properties of invariant measures and attractors (limit sets or minimal sets). Our results include exact dimensionality and dimension formula of stationary measures\, variational principles for dimensions in various settings\, estimates of Hausdorff dimension of exceptional minimal set\, etc. We also show an approximation theorem for random walks by circle diffeomorphisms which is analogous to the results of Katok\, Avila-Crovisier-Wilkinson\, Morris-Shmerkin.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: p-adic Measures for Reciprocals of L-functions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 2014\, Gelbart\, Miller\, Panchishkin\, and Shahidi introduced a p-adic analog to part of the Langlands-Shahidi method by studying the reciprocal of the p-adic L-function through the Fourier series expansion of Eisenstein series on SL_2(Z).  In this talk\, I discuss an analogous result in the case where K is a totally real number field. More precisely\, I will construct a certain p-adic measure whose Mellin transform is the reciprocal of the Deligne-Ribet p-adic L-function. This construction arises from the analysis of the non-constant Fourier coefficients of the Eisenstein series on the Hilbert modular group SL_2(O_K).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ming Xiang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago. \n\nTITLE: Reducing Uncertainty in Contact-induced Syntactic Change\n\nABSTRACT:  Language change could arise when the younger generation of speakers do not fully replicate the linguistic patterns produced by the older generation. The statistical learning literature has shown that children (and adults too under some conditions) tend to regularize the statistical patterns in their input\, i.e. they reduce the amount of variation in the input data (Hudson Kam&Newport 2009). From the information-theoretic perspective\, this process reflects the reduction of uncertainty (entropy) in the data. The regularization process over multiple generations has also been formalized using Bayesian models (Reali and Griffiths 2009). These studies\, however\, were based on artificial language learning paradigms\, and the question remains whether and how similar regularization processes could arise in natural languages. In this talk I will present some recent work that investigates word order changes in Cantonese in the last 60 years. Two groups of native Cantonese speakers (18-70 years old\, highly proficient speakers) were examined\, one from Guangzhou and the other one from Hong Kong. Both Cantonese-speaking communities are in close contact with Mandarin Chinese\, but the two communities also have substantial differences in their linguistic experiences and linguistic attitudes. Production data collected on ditransitive constructions revealed regularization patterns in Cantonese across generations in both communities\, and crucially\, this result is not an assimilation to the Mandarin patterns. A control group of Mandarin speakers in Beijing showed no changes in Mandarin on the same task. These results suggest that the effect of reducing uncertainty/variation is specific to bilingual/multilingual environments. A separate set of experiments suggest that it is likely the bilingual production process\, instead of the tracking/encoding of the bilingual input\, that led to the observed behavior. Finally\, I will also show some preliminary data that found the opposite pattern: in some situations Cantonese speakers also introduced more variants into their language\, instead of reducing variants. I tentatively suggest that increasing variation could also be interpreted as uncertainty reduction if we distinguish speaker (production) oriented uncertainty vs. listener (comprehension) oriented uncertainty.\n\nYou can also join us via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99682031517

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Numerical Methods for Vorticity Dynamics on a Sphere
DESCRIPTION:The Barotropic Vorticity Equation describes the balance of vorticity and the Coriolis force for a fluid moving on a rotating sphere\, and is important in geophysical fluid dynamics. In this talk\, I will discuss some numerical considerations\, first presenting some basics of geophysical fluid dynamics\, before presenting a short derivation of the barotropic vorticity equation\, and then moving on to discuss various numerical aspects of the problem. I will focus on a Lagrangian particle discretization\, as well as a new fast summation technique based on a spherical tree code. I will also touch on the role of adaptive mesh refinement.
