SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: A Riemann-Hilbert approach to Dyson Brownian motion and Gaussian multiplicative chaos
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The connection between random matrices and Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMC) has been studied intensively since the work of Fyodorov and Keating (2014). There has been recent interest in the appearance of GMC in dynamical ensembles of random matrices and their eigenvalues\, such as the Dyson Brownian motion (Keles 2025). We propose a Riemann-Hilbert approach to this problem. I will explain how our approach allows one to probe the “microscopic scale” (a scale which is inaccessible via loop equations)\, where the appearance of Painlevé transcendents is anticipated. This is joint work with Ahmad Barhoumi.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Stability\, Approximation\, and Robustness of Optimal Policies in POMDPs
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will focus on the stability\, approximation\, and robustness of optimal policies in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) under discounted and average cost criteria.\n\nI will begin with filter kernel perturbation under model change. I will establish how small perturbations in the transition or observation kernels lead to explicit\, nonasymptotic bounds on both the filter kernel and the performance of the induced policies. A primary result demonstrates that an optimal policy computed under an incorrect model remains near optimal for the true model\, with quantitatively bounded errors.\n\nBuilding on these stability concepts\, I will then talk about the average cost setting and describe conditions under which the nonlinear filter exhibits a contraction property. Under these conditions\, the vanishing discounted approach yields a solution to the average cost optimality equation\, guaranteeing the existence of a stationary optimal policy. Furthermore\, this provides explicit bounds that quantify the influence of initial prior distribution errors and model errors on long run performance.\n\nFinally\, I will present results on implementable approximations. I will introduce refined error bounds for finite window controllers and conclude by discussing how Q learning can be utilized through either finite window or the quantization of the belief process to obtain near optimal policies for both discounted and average cost criteria.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The State and the Soldier: A History of Civil-Military Relations in the United States
DESCRIPTION:America's Founding Fathers feared that a standing army would be a permanent political danger\, yet the U.S. military has in the 250 years since become a bulwark of democracy. Kori Schake explains why in this compelling history of civil-military relations from independence to the challenges of the present. Can the United States’ admirable record be sustained when the public is pulling the military into the political divisions of our time?\n   \nWebinar Link: https://myumi.ch/d8kN8\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at emergingdemocracies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Art in the Arb: Creative Writing & Movement in the Arb
DESCRIPTION:This interactive\, interdisciplinary workshop blends creative writing and creative movement\, offering participants of all levels a space to explore personal and environmental narratives and shared experience. No previous writing or dance experience is required. Working both solo and collaboratively\, participants will co-create and translate short dance and written pieces\, discovering how movement and language can shape and inform one another. The workshop culminates in a brief sharing and reflection session\, where participants present their creations and discuss their process. These reflective moments celebrate our individual and collective relationships with the Arboretum\, and the community built in our short time together.\n\nAbout the Teaching Artist: Kara Roseborough is a multi-disciplinary artist specializing in dance\, creative writing\, and theatre. She holds an MFA in Dance and a Certificate in World Performance Studies from the University of Michigan\, a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Utah\, and teaching certifications in Grades I-V of the Cecchetti Ballet method.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Arts Initiative Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Initiative is university-wide\, and we believe the arts are for everyone. One of our goals is to make creative experiences accessible across all three University of Michigan campuses and beyond by connecting students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members through meaningful artistic opportunities.Throughout the year\, we support hundreds of free or low-cost events\, workshops\, performances\, exhibitions\, artist talks\, creative wellness programs\, and public art experiences. Whether someone has been making art their entire life or is trying something creative for the very first time\, there's a place for them here.We believe that creativity helps us build community\, explore new ideas\, reduce stress\, and connect with one another in meaningful ways. There's no expectation to be an artist when attending our workshops —just come as you are\, stay curious\, and enjoy the process.
