Newspapers use key words such as extremists\, terrorists and fanatics to describe Arabs. The present day Arab stereotype parallels the image of Jews in pre-Nazi Germany\, where Jews were painted as dark\, shifty-eyed\, venal and threateningly different people. These representations of Arab and Muslim Americans have created a general mistrust and dislike among Americans. Who are Muslim and Arab-Americans? Why are they portrayed negatively? Who benefits from these phenomena? This class will help answer these and many other questions. This class for adults over 50 meets the fourth Monday through May 22\, 2017. No class in December. https://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/85 UID:31967-4454920@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31967 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lifelong Learning,Middle East Studies,Retirement,Sociology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160922T194319 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe study a college admissions problem in which colleges accept students by ranking students’ efforts in entrance exams. Students’ ability levels affect the cost of their efforts. We solve and compare the equilibria of “centralized college admissions” (CCA) where students apply to all colleges and “decentralized college admissions” (DCA) where students only apply to one college. We show that lower ability students prefer DCA whereas higher ability students prefer CCA. Many predictions of the theory are supported by a lab experiment designed to test the theory\, yet we find a number of differences that render DCA less attractive than CCA compared to the equilibrium benchmark.

The original topological Euler characteristic of the Donaldson-Thomas moduli space is modified by the Behrend function which is now called the weighted Euler characteristic. This is the same as the Donaldson-Thomas invariant defined by R. Thomas using the techniques of virtual fundamental class. In this talk I will talk about the notion of Behrend function and its relation to the recent consection localization techniques of Kiem-Li.\n\nI will also talk about the motivic version of the Behrend function in order to categorify Donaldson-Thomas invariants. The motivic version of the Joyce-Song formulas for the Behrend function identities are essential to the wall crossing of the motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants and I will outline the proof ofsuch formulas.

It consists of a Near Detector located at Fermilab\, and a Far Detector located in Ash River\, MI\, 810 km from the neutrino source. I will present NOvA’s new neutrino oscillation results\, including an analysis of both the rate of electron neutrino appearing and the rate of muon neutrinos disappearing in the NuMI beam as well as the search for oscillations beyond the 3-flavor paradigm.

Its\, O. Lisovyy and A. Prokhorov (arXiv:1604.03082) have found a way to extend the classical Jimbo-Miwa-Ueno isomonodromic tau function to the full space of extended monodromy data of systems of linear ordinary differential equations with rational coefficients. We shall use this method to analyze incomplete spectra in unitary random matrix models.

NSA Language Analysts play a vital role in providing intelligence to United States policy-makers\, military commanders\, and law enforcement officials so that they can make well-informed decisions to safeguard the United States and its allies. Come talk with representatives from NSA's language world as they explain what languages NSA is looking for\, what language analysis work is like\, the training involved\, where an NSA language career might take you\, and what to expect of the hiring process.\n\nPaid Summer Internships\nNot ready for full-time employment yet? The NSA Summer Language Program is a 12-week paid summer internship for undergraduate and graduate students with skills in either Arabic\, Chinese\, Korean\, Persian-Farsi\, or Russian. \n\nApplications: Application window for the 2017 NSA Summer Language Program is open through 15 October\, 2016. Come find out more!\n\nNOTE: U.S. citizenship is required for all opportunities at NSA\n\nCo-Sponsored by:\nUniversity Career Center\, University of Michigan\nMichigan Journal of International Affairs\, University of Michigan\n UID:33922-4818715@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33922 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160914T095931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marijuana Policy in the U.S.: From the War on Drugs to Rapid Reform DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 26\, 2016\n4:00pm to 5:30pm\nWeill Hall\, Annenberg Auditorium (1120)\n735 South State Street\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109\n\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nAbout the lecture:\nMarijuana reform has become a mainstream part of public policy over the last 20 years. However\, the U.S. has had a rocky relationship with the cannabis plant since the Founding. In a new book\, Marijuana: A Short History\, the Brookings Institution’s John Hudak profiles how policy has evolved\; how factors like economics\, racism\, politics\, and public opinion have shaped policy\, and what the future of marijuana policy may hold. \n\n \n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\nJohn Hudak is a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies and Deputy Director of the Center for Effective Public Management at the Brookings Institution. His research focuses on presidential power\, bureaucratic process\, and campaigns and elections. He has written extensively on questions of governance\, regulation\, and administration with regard to marijuana legalization policy. He is the author of the forthcoming book Marijuana: A Short History. John holds a B.A. in political science and economics from the University of Connecticut\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in political science from Vanderbilt University.\n\nSponsored by: The Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) \nCo-Sponsored by: School of Public Health\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

It may not be obvious that non-trivial examples of such matrices even exist. However\, we will give a bijection between totally positive $n \times n$ matrices and $\mathbb{R}_{>0}^n$. On our way to describing parametrizations of such matrices\, we will prove Lindstrom's Lemma\, which is a combinatorial tool that relates planar networks to minors of a corresponding weight matrix.\n\nThis talk will be accessible to all grad students in the department.

I will then discuss a construction of certain integral forms of these categories\, which reduce well modulo primes and give insight into the asymptotic behavior of the modular representation theory of these groups. Finally\, I will discuss some ongoing progress toward generalizing these results in the setting of quantum groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras.
