SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, the qualitative dynamics of the vector fields in the complex plane defined by complex polynomials is studied. The ultimate goal is to give a description of the possible bifurcations that can occur\, i.e.\, given an arbitrary point c in parameter space\, what are the topological-equivalence classes that intersect every neighborhood of c? The goal of this talk is to describe the non-splitting bifurcations: the bifurcations that can occur when when the multiplicities of the equilibrium points are preserved under small perturbation. It will be proved that any non-splitting bifurcation can be realized as a composition of simpler bifurcations from a finite list. Speaker(s): Kealey Dias (Bronx Community College)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:On the first half of my talk\, I'll focus on basic concepts about B-branes and their central charges and how they arise in physics and mathematics. In particular I'll present the gauge linear model setting which allows for defining quantities in full stringy Kahler moduli of certain Calabi-Yaus (CY). In the second half I'll show some examples and motivate an intrinsic definition of the central charges\, based on field theory data. I'll put particular emphasis on Landau-Ginzburg (orbifold) phases of CY hypersurfaces and comparison with results in FJRW theory. Speaker(s): Mauricio Romo (IAS)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Hadronization Studies at Belle
DESCRIPTION:Between 1999 and 2010\, the Belle experiment\, located at KEK in Tsukuba\, Japan\, took e+e- annihilation data mostly near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. Due to the size of the dataset\, Belle sampled a record breaking 1ab-1 delivered by the B-factory KEK-B\, as well as the precision instrumentation and PID capabilities\, this dataset represents a milestone for our studies of non-perturbative QCD effects in hadronization. \n\nOne focus of the Belle program is the precision measurement of Parton Fragmentation Functions\, which parametrize non-perturbative hadronization effects in QCD factorization formulas if final state hadrons are detected in semi-inclusive measurements\, e.g. in deep inelastic scattering or proton-proton collisions. \n\nIn particular\, Belle results sensitive to transverse polarization dependent fragmentation functions\, which can serve as ‘quark polarimeters’\, play a crucial role in our understanding of the transverse spin structure of the nucleon. Beyond determining Fragmentation Functions\, the study of hadronization allows us access to perturbative and non-perturbative QCD effects\, which is complimentary to using the nucleon as our QCD laboratory. \n\nThis talk will present the latest results from th ongoing program of hadronization studies at Belle. I will also give an outlook towards related physics opportunities at Belle II\, which will start data taking next year\, sampling about 40 times the luminosity that Belle did.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, we consider the famed doubly-infinite Toda lattice which is completely-integrable. We present the inverse scattering transform method for the solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. As is well known\, the Toda lattice equations can be recast as an isospectral flow on Jacobi matrices and this gives rise to the existence of a Lax pair. Thus we move on to cover scattering theory for Jacobi matrices\, introduce the scattering transform and scattering data associated with a Jacobi matrix. Then we cover the time evolution of the scattering data under the dynamics induced by the Toda lattice equations and present the Riemann-Hilbert formulation of the inverse scattering transform. We review some results on long-time asymptotics of the solutions of the Cauchy initial problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. Time permitting\, we plan to consider Hamiltonian perturbations of the Toda lattice. Speaker(s): Deniz Bilman (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:For any k \times n matrix\, the collection of k-element subsets of columns which are linearly independent forms a matroid. Linear independence of columns is\, of course\, equivalent to non-vanishing of the corresponding determinant\, or \"maximal minor.\" If we impose the additional condition that all non-zero maximal minors are positive\, then we get a special kind of matroid--a positroid!\n\nIn this talk\, I will show how positroids are indexed by Postnikov's \"Le Diagrams\,\" and I will explain how to use planar networks to generate all the matrices corresponding to a given positroid. I will try to indicate some of the reasons why positroids are such a nice class of matroids. Speaker(s): Gabriel Frieden (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:Shahidi local coefficients associated with  parabolic inductions on  quasi-split reductive groups defined over a local field are the core of the Langlands-Shahidi method. These meromorphic invariants arise from the uniqueness of Whittaker model. Among their local applications one finds irreducibility results and a formula for  Plancherel measures. In the context of metaplectic groups\, uniqueness of Whittaker model does not hold anymore. Yet\, an analog for these coefficients exists. This analog goes back to Kazhdan-Patterson seminal work on the exceptional representations and is often referred to as a scattering matrix.  In this talk we shall give new and simple interpretation to these matrices for coverings of p-adic SL(2)  and relate them to Tate-type gamma factors. We shall also give some local applications. This talk should be accessible also for non-experts. Speaker(s): Dani Szpruch (Howard University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Iranian censorship forbids depictions of unrelated men and women touching one another. Given this\, Western scholars generally view Iranian cinema as poor territory for exploring love\, sex\, and desire\, with some even suggesting that pornography and Iranian cinema are two contrasting entities. Granted\, it is difficult to find a direct representation of love and sex in Iranian movies but this limitation does not mean that Iranian cinema is devoid of such topics. In fact\, as Hamid Naficy and Shahla Haeri both argue\, Iranian directors have proposed very sophisticated\, complex\, and ingenious methods for discussing eroticism\, love\, and passion in their movies. When faced with strict censorship and social and moral barriers\, what methods have Iranian directors developed in order to address love\, desire\, and passion? In what ways do these methods emancipate or emasculate Iranian artists in their quest to express love and eroticism? Ganjavie attempts to answer these questions\, arguing that it makes little sense to say that any authoritative system with a system of hegemony could prevent its citizens from expressing this impulse in their works since the sexual instinct is life’s drive and only at the moment of death can humans deny its existence. What is essential\, radical\, and utopian is to read the meaning of eroticism in Iranian cinema through the specific culture in which the drive has been developed and shaped.\n \nAmir Ganjavie\, a PhD student in communication and culture at York University\, is a Toronto-based writer\, cultural citric\, and festival director. Fascinated by the issue of alternative and utopian space in modern urban settings\, Ganjavie has published several articles and two books\, one on utopia (Le rôle de la pensée utopique dans l’aménagement des villes de demain) and the other on walkable neighborhoods (Pour une ville qui marche). Aside from academic life\, he writes for Filmint\, Mubi\, Senses of Cinema\, Offscreen\, and Brightlight and also works as the CEO of Cine-Iran festival\, an annual festival of contemporary Iranian cinema held in Toronto\, Canada. He has recently co-edited a special volume on alternative Iranian cinema for film International and edited Humanities of the Other\, an essay collection on the Dardanne Brothers. He is now working on a special issue on Iranian cinema and eroticism for Asian Cinema journal.
