SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Gourmet Chocolate Bars at Home
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy three demonstration and tasting sessions\, with discussions devoted to simple ways to make chocolate suited to individual taste preferences. \n\nThe first session will be devoted to the common\, high quality dark chocolate bar with various percentages of chocolate. The second class will cover gourmet dark chocolate bars. The final session will be a milk chocolate “revelation\,” where milk chocolate with 60% chocolate will be made and tasted. \n\nThis class for those 50+ will meet for 90 minutes each on Wednesdays September 28\, October 5 and October 19.\n\nInstructor Sydney Kaufman has conducted numerous study groups based on chocolate.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Algorithmic trading problems are often posed assuming the agent knows completely the stochastic model which drives prices and other state variables. Here\, we analysis the optimal trading decisions of an agent who is exposed to prices that evolve according to an unknown jump-diffusion. We show that the resulting optimal stochastic control problem with partial information reduces to one with full information\, solve the filtered control problem in analytic closed-form\, and show how the optimal trading decisions are modified by the uncertainty. Several numerical experiments are presented to illustrate how algorithmic trading strategies are modified.\n \n[ This is joint work with Philippe Casgrain\, U. Toronto. ] Speaker(s): Sebastian Jaimungal (University of Toronto)

SUMMARY:Other:Gold Nanocrystals: Physics\, Chemistry\, Biology\, Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Gold nanocrystals of controlled size and shape have tunable optical properties that enable new science.  Upon illumination with resonant light\, these gold nanocrystals generate plasmons (coherent oscillations of conduction band electrons).  These plasmons\, in turn\, can produce local electric fields and heat.  In this talk I will discuss four short stories about gold nanocrystals and their plasmons.  In “Physics” we will discuss how molecules experience the local electric field.  In “Chemistry” we will discuss how the surface chemistry of the nanocrystals can be tuned with both hard and soft shells\, and how the particular chemistry at the surface dictates molecular function.  In “Biology” I will discuss how these nanocrystals interact with biological fluids and living cells\; and in “Ecology” I will discuss how these nanoparticles are distributed in an estuarine ecosystem as a function of surface chemistry.\nCatherine Murphy (University of Illinois)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ivan Gerat Lecture\, \"Marxist Iconology and Social Art History in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War\"
DESCRIPTION:Several scholars living in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War attempted to establish so-called “Marxist iconology.” What could they achieve in an environment ruled by ideological constructs of Marxism-Leninism? Was the “Marxism” of iconologists in Czechoslovakia real intellectual endeavor\, or was it only a somewhat clumsy (possibly intentionally clumsy) answer to what was asked by the programmatic documents of “socialist art history\,” formulated in 1951? How did they understand the word “iconology”? What did this word connote and what role did it play in the choice of topics\, methodology and argumentation strategies in their research? Was there a clear demarcation line between the ideas belonging to a genuine social history of art and the opportunist acceptance of certain Marxist-Leninist doctrines motivated by pragmatic calculations beyond academic interest in the subject of investigation? In the introductory part of the lecture\, these questions will be opened on a general level. Thereafter\, an attempt will be made to answer them in relation to concrete persons and their works. The interpretation of \"Dürer´s Apocalypse\" by Rudolf Chadraba will be shown in context of his and contemporary criticism of the Roman Catholic Church. The reconstruction of ancient myths in medieval artworks\, as performed by Karel Stejskal\, will be contextualized in the framework of traditional iconology as well as in its relation to the Leninist theory of culture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:John G. Wagner Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:John Wagner’s pioneering research described how solid oral formulations/medicines are absorbed into the blood stream.  A key step in this process is the breakdown of the solid state structure of the drug allowing it to dissolve and be transported into the blood. This seminar will address several issues related to the solid state structure of drugs in medicines.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Working Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology
DESCRIPTION:We will continue the proof of Benoist's theorem (A properly convex divisible domain is Gromov hyperbolic if and only if it is strictly convex if and only if the boundary is C^1). Time permitting we will discuss another result of Benoist showing that strictly convex divisible domains behave like negatively curved manifolds\, namely that every element has a unique axis (i.e. is proximal).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Let X be a projective algebraic variety\, the set of solutions of a system of homogeneous polynomial equations. Several classical notions describe how ``unconstrained'' the solutions are\, i.e.\, how close X is\nto projective space: there are notions of rational\, unirational and stably rational varieties. Over the field of complex numbers\, these notions coincide in dimensions one and two\, but diverge in higher\ndimensions.  In this talk I will discuss classical examples of rational (or not) varieties\, as well as the  recent progress.\n Speaker(s): Alena Pirutka (New York University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability
DESCRIPTION:Consider the Gaussian Entire Function (GEF) whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian variables\, and the variance of the kth coefficient is 1/k!. This random Taylor series is distinguished by the invariance of its zero set with respect to the isometries of the complex plane. \n\nI will show that the law of the zero set\, conditioned on the GEF having no zeros in a disk of radius r\, and properly normalized\, converges to an explicit limiting Radon measure in the plane\, as r goes to infinity. A remarkable feature of this limiting measure is the existence of a large 'forbidden region' between a singular part supported on the boundary of the (scaled) hole and the equilibrium measure far from the hole. This answers a question posed by Nazarov and Sodin\, and is in stark contrast to the corresponding result known to hold in the random matrix setting\, where such a gap does not appear.\n\nThe talk is based on a joint work with S. Ghosh.\n Speaker(s): Alon Nishry (UM)
