SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Villa of Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next lecture in the Vitruvius Series:\nThe Villa of Mysteries\, Pompeii\, Italy\nFriday\, April 7\, 2:00 p.m.\nKelsey Museum of Archaeology\, Room 125\nPresented by Professor Elaine Gazda\n\n\nProfessor and Curator Emerita Elaine Gazda will share her work and lead a discussion regarding the possible Vitruvian influences on the Villa of Mysteries at Pompeii. The lecture will be followed by a visit to the Roman gallery to view the Barosso watercolors.\n\nThe Villa of Mysteries is located outside Pompeii\, where it sat undiscovered between AD 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted\, and 1909 when it was discovered by the then-owner of the land. The beautiful frescos in the Villa of Mysteries are a sequence of images\, taking up the whole space of the room.\n\nIf you would like to read some Vitruvius in advance\, Professor talk will\nbe linked with VI. ii. 1\, 2\, 5.\; VI. iii. 8\; VI. iv. 1\, 2\; VI. v. 1-2 and VI.vii.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inertial Updating
DESCRIPTION:We introduce and characterize inertial updating of beliefs. Under inertial updating\, a decision maker (DM) chooses a belief that minimizes the subjective distance between their prior belief and the set of beliefs consistent with the observed event. Importantly\, by varying the subjective notion of distance\, inertial updating provides a unifying framework that nests three different types of belief updating: (i) Bayesian updating\, (ii) non-Bayesian updating rules such as the α−β rule (Grether\, 1980)\, and (iii) updating rules for events with zero probability\, like the conditional probability system (CPS) of Myerson (1986a\,b). We demonstrate that our model is behaviorally equivalent to the Hypothesis Testing model (HT) of Ortoleva (2012)\, clarifying the connection between HT and CPS. We apply our model to a persuasion game.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED: Department Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Title: “The Toxic Ideology of Longtermism” \n\nAbstract: \nThis lecture criticizes the intellectual tradition “longtermism” as an ideology\, for its damaging real-world effects as well as for its reliance on a flawed ethical theory. Longtermism is an outgrowth of Effective Altruism (EA)\, a utilitarianism-inspired philanthropic program founded just over a decade ago by young Oxford philosophers Toby Ord and William MacAskill. EA\, which claims to guide charitable giving to do the ‘most good’ per expenditure of time or money\, originally focused on mitigating the effects of poverty in the global South and of the treatment of animals in factory farms. This initially modestly-funded\, Oxford-based enterprise soon had satellites in the UK\, US\, and elsewhere in the world\, several of which became multi-million-dollar organisations\, while the amount of money directed by EA-affiliated groups swelled to over four hundred million dollars annually\, with pledges in the tens of billions. During this period\, Ord and MacAskill started using the term ‘longtermism’ to mark a view championed by members of a conspicuous subset of effective altruists. The view is that humanity is at a crossroads at which we may either self-destruct or realize a glorious future\, and that we should prioritize responding to threats to the continued existence of human civilization. The ‘existential risks’ that longtermists rank as most probable are AI unaligned with liberal values and deadly engineered pathogens. They urge us to combat these risks to make it likelier that humans (or our digitally intelligent descendants) will live on for millions\, billions\, or even trillions of years\, surviving until long after the sun has vaporised the earth by colonizing exoplanets. The longtermist enterprise has been publicly thrashed for its ties to the crypto exchange FTX\, which declared bankruptcy in mid-November 2022\, but the movement remains well-funded and well-positioned to repair its reputation and go on enlisting earnest individuals to energetically support and spread it. There is a pressing need to criticize its theoretical weaknesses and forcefully bring out its material harms\, exposing it as the toxic ideology it is.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics Seminar -- An SL(4) web basis from hourglass plabic graphs
DESCRIPTION:The SL(3) web basis is a special basis of certain spaces of tensor invariants developed in the late 90's by Khovanov and Kuperberg as a tool for computing quantum link invariants. Since then this basis has found connections and applications to cluster algebras\, canonical bases\, dimer models\, and tableau combinatorics. The main open problem has remained: how to find a basis replicating the desirable properties of this basis for SL(4) and beyond? I will describe joint work with Oliver Pechenik\, Stephan Pfannerer\, Jessica Striker\, and Josh Swanson in which we construct such a basis for SL(4). Modified versions of plabic graphs and the six-vertex model and new tableau combinatorics will appear along the way\, but knowledge of these topics won't be assumed in the talk.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Top Down Topological Holography and Twists on Twistor Space
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss recent work in collaboration with Kevin Costello and Atul Sharma. Aspects of the holographic correspondence can be understood mathematically through a framework called twisted holography\, which has been applied to AdS/CFT to compute certain protected correlators. In this talk we will apply these ideas to describe a new holographic duality for a bulk theory in an asymptotically flat spacetime which arises from studying twisted holography on twistor space. The ``boundary'' 2d chiral algebra\, which is dual to the algebra of bulk asymptotic symmetries\, can be described using a mathematical technique called Koszul duality. Alternatively\, the 4d and 2d theories are independently defined from top-down string theoretic reasoning\, and we match OPEs with collinear limits of scattering amplitudes in the planar limit as a check.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Dr. Adam Simon\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Transitioning to an energy infrastructure entirely reliant on a combination of photovoltaic solar\, wind turbines\, electric vehicles and grid-scale battery storage requires production of metals from new mineral deposits on an unprecedented scale. Manufacturing and deploying these renewable energy resources requires dozens of metals\, including boron\, cobalt\, copper\, lithium\, nickel\, tellurium\, tin and many others. What types of mineral deposits do those metals come from? What are the geologic constraints on their availability? What are the economic constraints on their availability? What are the geopolitical constraints on their availability? How do environmental permitting constraints impact the timeframe for production and delivery to market? Please join me for a presentation where I answer these questions and more.
