SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Zero Waste Week: Waste Justice Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion of waste colonialism and justice in the linear economy.\nThis panel discussion will engage with the broad idea that our linear economies\, in which items are produced\, sold\, used\, and thrown away\, are not only harmful to our ecosystems but to the communities (humans and non-humans) who live\, work\, play\, and pray in these very same ecosystems. A key example of such dynamics is that every part of the process of making\, consuming and disposing of single-use plastics is harmful to our people and to our planet. From the pipeline fracking needed to produce the raw oil to make plastics\, to its transport to oil refineries\, in cities like Detroit\, and to petrochemical facilities\, in cities like Houston\, TX and St. James\, LA\, to its disposal in landfills\, incinerators\, and in low-income and BIPOC communities’ backyards in the Global North and South\, the toxic impacts of our single-use plastic economies cannot be denied.\nIt is those very same communities\, who are at the forefront of our unjust waste producing systems\, who are also at the forefront of building equitable and just alternatives to these systems. The alternatives and solutions include anti-incineration struggles\; community-based recycling and composting programs\, food and secondhand goods redistribution services\, sharing economies\, and mutual aid networks\; human rights campaigns to advocate for the rights of waste pickers and of families to safe working conditions and environments\; the passing of progressive policies\, like single-use plastic bans\, to hold corporate actors accountable\; and the list goes on.\nThe panelists\, who will be speaking about their work at this event\, emerge from numerous fields\, such as community composting and recycling\, social services\, global policy organizing\, and are integral to our waste justice movements. We hope that by the end of the event\, attendees will walk away feeling more confident about answering the following questions for themselves:\nWhat does waste justice look like on the ground in Detroit and other parts of the world?\nHow should zero waste strategies be integral to our climate action strategies?\nHow can I support these efforts and stay connected to them?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algorithmic Mechanism Design with Investment
DESCRIPTION:We study the investment incentives created by truthful mechanisms that allocate resources using approximation algorithms. Some approximation algorithms guarantee nearly 100% of the optimal welfare\, but have only a zero guarantee when one bidder can invest before participating. An algorithm’s worst-case allocative and investment guarantees coincide if and only if that algorithm’s confirming negative externalities are sufficiently small. We introduce new fast approximation algorithms for the knapsack problem that have no confirming negative externalities\, with guarantees close to 100% both with and without investments.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:11th Annual Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The 11th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium will take place at the Michigan League Ballroom and via Zoom on Friday\, March 24 and Saturday\, March 25\, 2023. The theme of the symposium is \"Computational Psychiatry: From Mental Circuits to Mental Illness.\"\n\nPsychiatry has long emphasized lists of signs and symptoms for categorizing\, diagnosing\, and treating mental disorders. However\, the inner workings of the mind/brain that produce and explain these signs and symptoms have remained obscure. The 2023 Weinberg Symposium examines “Computational Psychiatry”\, an upstart field that aims to revolutionize psychiatry by addressing this gap. Theorists in this new field build computational models that explain in a step-by-step way how the mind/brain performs key mental functions\, and they then demonstrate how signs and symptoms of mental disorders arise from altered “parameter settings” of these models. The Symposium features five leading theorists in computational psychiatry who will present their latest research on topics including delusional belief in schizophrenia and negativity bias in depressive disorders. The Symposium offers a chance to hear about the promise (as well as the pitfalls) of computational psychiatry—a field that has the potential to transform the way we understand mental illness. \n______________________________________________\n\nFriday\, March 24th\n3:00-4:00 pm      Keynote\n                            Prediction\, Perception and Unshared Realities:\n                            Understanding Psychosis Through Computational Psychiatry\n                               Paul Fletcher (Cambridge)\n\n4:00-5:00 pm      Reception\n\n\nSaturday\, March 25th\n9:50-10:00 am     Opening Remarks\n\n10:00-10:50 am   Ten Years of Bayesian Theories of Autism: What Have We Learned?\n                                Peggy Seriès (University of Edinburgh)\n\n11:00-11:50 am    Emotions as Computations\n                                Eran Eldar (Hebrew University)\n\n12:00-1:20 pm      Lunch\n\n1:30-2:20 pm        A Social Neuroscience Approach Towards Computational Psychiatry\n                                 Xiaosi Gu (Mt.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics Seminar --  Top layers of Grothendieck and Lascoux polynomials
DESCRIPTION:The Schubert polynomials of the Symmetric group of n form a basis of the vector space they span. This space is well-studied with a dimension of n! and its Hilbert series being the q-analogue of n!. Key polynomials\, which are characters of the Demazure modules\, also form a basis for this space along with Schubert polynomials. Schubert and key polynomials are the ``bottom layers’’ of Grothendieck and Lascoux polynomials\, respectively\, which are two inhomogeneous polynomials. In this talk\, we will focus on the space spanned by their ``top layers’’. We construct two bases using the top layer of Grothendieck and the top layer of Lascoux. We will also introduce a diagrammatic method to compute the degrees of these polynomials\, involving drawing dark clouds and snowflakes. Finally\, we will describe the Hilbert series of this space using a classical q-analogue of the Bell numbers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Evolution of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Large self interactions between dark matter particles alter the predicted properties of dark matter halos and may help address small-scale structure issues\, while maintaining the successes of standard cold dark matter at large scales. Self interactions allow for efficient heat transfer within a halo\, which can be modeled using a gravothermal fluid approximation. In this talk\, I will discuss how the choice of the particle physics model for self interactions\, as well as the environment of the halo\, impacts the phases of halo evolution.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hodge-Tate decomposition for abelian varieties with good reduction
DESCRIPTION:The Hodge-Tate decomposition for an abelian variety is a p-adic analogue of the Hodge decomposition of a complex algebraic variety which allows us to relate the étale cohomology of a variety to its Hodge cohomology groups. In this talk\, we sketch a proof of this decomposition for H^1 of an abelian variety over a p-adic field with good reduction. The only prerequisites are the basic facts about p-adic fields and abelian varieties.
