SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:We have long known\, or implicitly used\, that to a potential splitting \phi of the Frobenius homomorphism on a ring R of positive characteristic one can assign a divisor on Spec(R)\, and these divisors describe the Frobenius splitting behavior of \phi at height one primes. We generalize this process and assign coefficients called log discrepancies to valuations on Spec(R/P) for primes P of R. Using these log discrepancies\, we can characterize the Frobenius splitting behavior of \phi at any point of Spec(R). Speaker(s): Eric Canton (University of Nebraska)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Kadison-Singer problem was a longstanding open problem in functional analysis regarding the extension of certain functionals on C* algebras. The statement was widely believed to be false\, but was proved true by Marcus\, Speilman and Srivastava in 2013. Their proof used the properties of real stable polynomials to yield unexpected results for random matrices\, such as a nonlinear first moment method and control of the mean characteristic polynomial. In this talk\, we will outline the proof and use the tools of MSS to prove an intermediate result - the Paving conjecture\, from which Kadison-Singer follows.\n Speaker(s): Yan Shuo Tan (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Archaic Ambracia\, Epirote Ethnicity and an Early Elegiac Lament (SEG 41.540A)
DESCRIPTION:Ephraim Lytle received his B.A. in Classics from Pomona College and a Ph.D. in Classics from Duke University. His research focuses on Greek social and economic history\, with much of it treating activities and social classes peripheral to the polis and an ancient ideological focus on the citizen farmer. These interests include ancient fishing\, fishermen and\, more generally\, the sea. Such fluid subjects are not easily demarcated\, and while his research pays careful attention to epigraphic or literary texts it also tends to be wide-ranging and interdisciplinary\, incorporating interests that include\, for example\, ecology\, ethnography\, anthropology\, the history of technology\, and the longue durée. \n\nHe has published articles that treat historical questions related to various Greek epigraphic documents--the Kean ruddle decrees\, the temple accounts from Hellenistic Delos\, a Boeotian price decree\, an Ephesian building account\, a letter of Hadrian to Athens--as well as long-form articles that tackle problems ranging from the legal status of the sea and its fisheries in the ancient Mediterranean to the role of regional social and religious contexts in Oppian's Halieutica. His first book\, forthcoming at Cambridge University Press\, treats the social and economic importance of the tuna and its large-scale capture in Ancient Greece.

SUMMARY:Other:Controlled Polymerization Strategies For Conjugated Polymers and Polyelectrolytes
DESCRIPTION:Improvements in alternative energy technology rely on the development of new advanced materials. In this regard\, conjugated polymers and polyelectrolytes are both being explored for charge transport and ion transport applications. In this talk\, some synthetic methods to build well-defined polymeric materials will be discussed. For conjugated polymers\, Catalyst-Transfer Polycondensation (CTP) is typically employed to prepare materials with controlled molecular weights and relatively low dispersities. While Kumada cross-coupling is normally employed for these polymerization reactions\, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling has tremendous potential to improve functional group tolerance and monomer scope. Our efforts to use nickel catalysts with Suzuki-Miyaura coupling for conjugated polymer synthesis will be discussed. Additionally\, some work on using Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP) to build phosphonium-based polyelectrolytes will be presented. \nKevin Noonan (Carnegie Mellon University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nElderly workers in developing countries face certain frictions\, such as credit constraints\, in their retirement decisions that may not be as common among their counterparts in the developed world\, and these concerns may lead workers to work more or less than their preferred number of years. In this study\, I firstly use regression discontinuity methods to show that a large fraction of urban male heads of households in Brazil (roughly 45%) react contemporaneously to pension eligibility by retiring. Because retirement is not required to receive the pension\, workers should not react contemporaneously unless optimization frictions\, such as credit constraints\, are at work. Secondly\, I show that those in demographic groups more likely to be credit constrained are more reactive to pension eligibility. Thirdly\, I develop a model of retirement decisions that explores how pensions in the face of credit constraints can influence such decisions\, and I use this model to determine how the excessive generosity of pensions can explain the observed behavior over and above the simple credit constraint story. The model I develop allows me to estimate the welfare consequences of both the credit constraints and the generosity of the pension system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Shedding light on the ‘dark side’ of carbon cycling: Environmental impacts on plant respiration from leaf to ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Leaf respiration represents an immense flux of carbon dioxide from terrestrial ecosystems – approximately six times annual fossil fuel emissions – but remains one of the least understood aspects of the global carbon cycle. Multiple interacting environmental controls on respiration complicate its ability to be modeled and scaled\, and the direct and indirect environmental effects of climate change on this process further alters how plants cycle and store carbon over short and long time scales. Resolving major uncertainties – including the short-term temperature response and light inhibition of respiration – will greatly improve estimates of ecosystem carbon cycling\, especially in regions experiencing rapid environmental change\, as in the arctic tundra. Extensive field measurements made in intact ecosystems around the world reveal convergence of respiration responses to climate\, short-term change in temperature\, and leaf traits across diverse species representing different plant functional types. However\, evidence from experimentally altered boreal\, temperate\, and arctic ecosystems suggests potential adaptive differences among species under future climate change. When integrated into terrestrial biosphere models\, these results could provide more accurate estimates of current and projected carbon fluxes across the globe.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/L4BBYq2VTEU

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Logic
DESCRIPTION:(One of the versions of) Hindman's theorem states that\, whenever we partition an infinite abelian group G in two cells\, there exists an infinite subset X of G such that the set FS(X) consisting of all sums of finitely many distinct elements of X is entirely contained within one of the cells of the partition. In this talk we will show that\, when one attempts to replace both instances of \"infinite\" with \"uncountable\" in the theorem above\, the resulting statement is not only false\, but actually very false. This is talk 1 out of n (where n is a still unknown nonzero countable ordinal). Joint work with Assaf Rinot. Speaker(s): David Fernandez Breton (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:The classical circle packing theorem of Koebe\, Andreev\, and Thurston says that given a triangulation $\tau$ of a closed\, orientable surface\, there is a unique constant curvature Riemannian metric on the surface so that the surface with this metric admits a circle packing with dual graph $\tau$.  Kojima\, Mizushima\, and Tan give a definition of a circle packing on surfaces with complex projective structures. Unlike in the metric case\, there is a deformation space of complex projective circle packings with combinatorics given by $\tau$. They conjecture that this space is homeomorphic to Teichm\\"{u}ller space. I'll present progress towards this conjecture for certain classes of triangulations.
