SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:There are several examples in the literature of polynomial families that converge uniformly on compact sets to families of transcendental functions. In joint work with Jane Hawkins and Lorelei Koss\, we have a family of rational functions that converges to a transcendental family. This transcendental family contains parameters for which the Fatou set is empty. Since a rational function can have an empty Fatou set but a polynomial cannot\, this approximation by rational functions is\, in a sense\, more natural than the previously known approximations by polynomials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe. Italian Style: Fashion and Film
DESCRIPTION:Italian cinema launched Italian fashion to the world. This lecture is based on Professor Paulicelli’s latest book\, \"Italian Style: Fashion & Film from Early Cinema to the Digital Age\,\" which tells the story of this launch. The creation of an Italian style and fashion as they are perceived today\, especially by foreigners\, was a product of the post World War II years. Before then\, Parisian fashion had dominated Europe and the world\, and had helped shape a Parisian and French identity. The lecture explores how film contributed to the shaping of an Italian style and fashion that ran parallel to and at times took the lead in the creation of an Italian national identity. Fashion and film are powerful industries and media machines that construct powerful symbolic narratives and identities. It is hardly surprising\, then\, that Italian filmmakers have been fascinated by the transformative power of the language of clothing and fashion and the impact it has on style\, consumption\, and behavior. \n    \nEugenia Paulicelli is professor of Italian and comparative literature at Queens College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She is the founder and director of fashion studies in the MA in liberal studies and PhD concentration at The Graduate Center. She has published several books as author and editor. In her writing she has explored the intersections between word and image in literature\, cinema\, fashion\, and the media\; the impact of technology in shaping these intersections\; and the history and role of women in relation to fashion\, the visual arts\, and writing (literature and journalism).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Special Seminar: Microbial life in the ecosystem context: molecular interactions at macro scales
DESCRIPTION:Soil microbial life regulates some of the largest fluxes of carbon and nitrogen on Earth. While widely recognized as critical for ecosystem functioning\, microbial activity and behavior is usually represented implicitly in conceptual and mathematical models of ecosystem process. New breakthroughs in molecular biology have revolutionized our ability to probe the life history strategies of soil microbial community members in ways that have the potential to transform our understanding of ecosystems and the Earth. I work to understand the allocation strategies of microbial decomposers in the context of ecosystem process\, as well as how these decomposers interact with mycorrhizal fungi- critical members of the plant microbiome. I place these frameworks in the context of optimization and game theory\, and test predictions at micro and macro scales. By doing so\, I hope to create a more predictive ecosystem ecology\, informed by the explicit representation of microbial life.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will describe the low energy physics of Landau-Ginzburg models with N=(0\,2) supersymmetry. I'll exhibit examples relatively simple LG models where the conformal field theory at the low energy fixed point can be explicitly identified using modular invariance of the torus partition function. I'll start with a brief introduction to the (0\,2) Landau-Ginzburg Lagrangian and discuss important concept such as supersymmetry\, anomalies and central charge. Speaker(s): Abhijit Gadde (IAS)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Short-Range Fermion Correlations: From neV to MeV
DESCRIPTION:The atomic nucleus is composed of two different kinds of fermions\, protons and neutrons. If the protons and neutrons did not interact\, the Pauli exclusion principle would force the majority fermions\, usually neutrons\, to higher average momentum. However\, recent high-energy proton and electron scattering experiments show that short-range interactions between the fermions form correlated\, high-momentum\, neutron-proton pairs\, known as Short-Range Correlations (SRC). Thus\, in neutron-rich nuclei the probability of finding a high-momentum (k>kFermi) proton (a minority Fermion) is greater than that of a neutron (a majority Fermion). \n\nIn this talk I will present the experimental studies of SRC in nuclei and review some of their wide ranging implications to topics in particle and astro physics (including the EMC effect\, neutrino scattering and neutron stars structure and properties). Given time\, I will also present a new theoretical description of atomic nuclei\, using an asymptotic formalism developed to describe ultra-cold atomic gasses. This first successful use of atomic theory in nuclei may lead the way to simulate certain aspects of nuclei and atomic traps.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:The relation between (standard) orthogonal polynomials and random matrix theory is\, by now\, somewhat classical. In rough terms\, we can express the partition function (and many other related quantities) of random matrix models in terms of orthogonal polynomials\, so that asymptotic questions in random matrix theory can be immediately translated to the asymptotic theory of orthogonal polynomials. A natural generalization of standard orthogonality on the real line is provided by non-Hermitian orthogonality\, where the standard bona fide inner product is replaced by orthogonality with respect to a non-Hermitian bilinear form\, typically expressed in terms of contour integrals in the complex plane. Although the direct connection to random matrix theory is lost\, the formal partition function associated to the model is meaningful to enumeration problems of graphs in compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Hence the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials is still of interest. However\, due to the analytic character of the integrands defining the orthogonality there is a lot of freedom in the choice of contour of integration for the orthogonality\, and consequently classical potential-theoretic techniques have to be suitably adapted and improved in combination with more recent Riemann-Hilbert methods. In the first part of our talk\, we will survey some old and not-so-old results on the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials\, focusing on how their asymptotics can be extracted with the aid of the S-curves. This first part is partially based on joint work with Arno Kuijlaars (KU Leuven - Belgium). But this story is not yet over! Another generalization of standard or- thogonality is provided by the multiple orthogonality\, where the conditions of orthogonality are split into two (or more) measures. This generalization is again physically meaningful: many random matrix models (and also random path models) can be described in terms of such multiple orthogonal polynomials. However\, the asymptotic analysis of such polynomials has so far been restricted to situations involving symmetries in the model. So in the second part of our talk we plan to discuss some more recent developments towards removing such symmetry constraints. This is an ongoing project with Andrei Martinez-Finkelshtein (Universidad de Almeria - Spain)\, and as such the whole picture is not yet complete. At any rate we will talk about how the S-contour business can be generalized to this situation\, and how a salad of critical measures and quadratic differentials comes to the table.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Schubert polynomials are polynomials indexed by permutations with nonnegative integer coefficients\; they reflect Coxeter combinatorics of the permutation as well as geometric information about certain algebraic varieties. Any invertible n x n matrix can be written in the form LwU where w is a uniquely determined permutation matrix and L\, U are lower and upper triangular respectively. For a fixed w\, the closure of the set of matrices LwU is called a matrix Schubert variety\, and the corresponding Schubert polynomial is its torus-equivariant cohomology class. \n\nI will explain the approach of Knutson and Miller which relates this geometry to the combinatorics in a natural way\, via Gröbner bases and Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes. No knowledge of algebraic geometry will be assumed beyond the correspondence of ideals and varieties. Speaker(s): Brendan Pawlowski (University of Michigan)
