SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We consider a stylized core-periphery financial network in which links lead to the creation of projects in the outside economy  but make banks prone to contagion risk. The controller seeks to maximize\, under budget constraints\, the value of the financial system defined as the total amount of projects. Under partial information on interbank links\, revealed  in conjunction with the spread of contagion\, the optimal control problem is shown to become a Markov decision problem. We find the optimal intervention policy using dynamic programming.\n\nOur numerical results show that the value of the system depends on the connectivity in a non-monotonous way:  it first increases with connectivity  and then decreases with connectivity.\nThe maximum value attained depends critically on the budget of the controller and the availability of an adapted intervention strategy. Moreover\, we show that  for highly connected systems\,  it is optimal to increase the rate of intervention in the peripheral banks rather than in core banks.\n\njoint with H. Amini and A.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Eating NAFTA: Mexico in a Post-Migration and Post-Labor Era
DESCRIPTION:Can we speak of Mexico today as having entered a post-migration and post-labor era? What is the place of average Mexicans in the post-NAFTA economy? Is the role imagined for them one only of consumption? If so\, what are the health consequences of this? This presentation examines how trade policy and migration have altered one of the most basic elements of life: sustenance. It tells the binational story of the interdependent food system between Mexico and the U.S. and the consequences for people’s everyday lives and health of those interconnections. \n\nHow and what people eat in Mexico and the United States has transformed in the last two decades\, with massive consequences for public health. This talk is based on Gálvez's book\, a study that examines the connections between food policy and migration\, and their connection to eating practices and health in Mexican communities on both sides of the border. The North American Free Trade Agreement has been closely analyzed at the level of policy and bilateral politics\, including the ways that it has impacted the production and circulation of goods and services in North America. But very little has been done to analyze the micro-level changes to every day life experienced by people in the region. While trade policy has liberalized the flow of goods and currency\, it has been accompanied by greater militarization of borders\, and an illegalization of the circulation of workers. This study examines the current intersection of trade policy\, globalization\, and social programs in Mexico I argue that the rise of diet-related illness in Mexico is a logical outgrowth of trade and development policies and arrangements that favor food security over subsistence agriculture\, “development” over sustainability\, market participation over social welfare\, and ideologies of self-care over public health care.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Perpetual Care: Exploring doctor-patient relationships\, medical experiences\, encounters\, and adjustments of long-term chronic illness
DESCRIPTION:CEW and the Institute for Research on Women & Gender at University of Michigan invite you to join us for a Poetry Reading by Susan Eisenberg on Wednesday\, October 26th from 4:00-5:00 p.m.\, with a reception immediately following. \n\nCEW’s Visiting Social Activist Susan Eisenberg will share selected poems and photographs from her new book Perpetual Care. Eisenberg helps us think differently about the embodied relations of health and affliction\, particularly in contrast to the social construction of women's health and well-being. Her work may hold special resonance for women of color\, who are more likely to live with chronic diseases such as lupus\, which affects Eisenberg. \n\nFrom the Back Cover: Incisive\, lively\, witty\, Perpetual Care brilliantly defies its subject matter. Using an impressive range of forms\, styles\, and metaphors\, Susan Eisenberg draws us deeply into the emotional complexities of a “flock of illnesses.” Whatever your background—as patient and/or provider—you will find this book difficult to put down. The poet’s striking photographs add resonance to both the title and these surprisingly hopeful poems. - Martha Collins\, poet\, Blue Front\n\nRegister here:  http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/poetry-reading-susan-eisenberg/20161017

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Working Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology
DESCRIPTION:The deformation space of convex real projective structures on a compact surface S is homeomorphic to a cell of dimension given by 8 times the Euler characteristic of S\; there are coordinates for the space\, described by Goldman\, which are analogous to the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates for Teichmüller space. I will describe these coordinates\, and use them to produce concrete examples of convex projective structures on surfaces.\n Speaker(s): Feng Zhu (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Integration Paradox: Second-Generation Muslim in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Doing research on Muslims in the United States faces the real challenges that the US Census does not collect data on religion\, while the Muslim sample in surveys\, such as the General Social\nSurvey\, is often too small for meaningful analysis. Thus\, there is little information available on the basic demographic characteristics of the children of Muslim immigrants. In his research with Eric Ketchman. Professor Mehdi Bozorgmehr shows how they overcame these obstacles. He also discusses the nature of integration or assimilation of these new Americans who are the children of Muslim immigrants.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:In the late 60's\, Hochster formulated the direct summand conjecture (DSC) in commutative algebra: a regular commutative ring splits off from any finite extension (as a module). A few years later\, Hochster himself proved the DSC when the ring contains a field\; these ideas had a significant impact on the ensuing development of tight closure and F-singularity theory. \n\nIn the mixed characteristic setting\, the case of dimension  Speaker(s): Bhargav Bhatt (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability
DESCRIPTION:n this talk\, we introduce and study some basic questions regarding the phase diagram for general mixed p-spin glasses. We focus on the analysis of the Parisi functional\, a non-local\, convex functional whose value is given by the solution of a certain Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDE. We present an exact characterization of minimizers\, and use this to study the phase diagram in the temperature-external field plane. In particular\, we present some recent progress on the Replica Symmetric-to-Replica Symmetry Breaking phase transition: we prove that a natural generalization of the de Almeida-Thouless line does give the RS-RSB phase transition in the temperature-external field plane less a compact set. Time permitting\, we will discuss some related work on the complexity of the Replica Symmetry Breaking phase for spherical mixed p-spin glasses. These are joint works with Aukosh Jagannath (Univ. of Toronto). Speaker(s): Ian Tobasco (UM)

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents \"Contemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa and the Urgency of Method\,\" A Conversation with Joan Kee and David Chung
DESCRIPTION:Joan Kee will read from her book\, followed by a conversation with David Chung.\n\nFrom the publisher: \"A crucial artistic movement of twentieth-century Korea\, Tansaekhwa (monochromatic painting) also became one of its most famous and successful. In this full-color\, richly illustrated account—the first of its kind in English—Joan Kee provides a fresh interpretation of the movement’s emergence and meaning that sheds new light on the history of abstraction\, twentieth-century Asian art\, and contemporary art in general. \n\nThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the most controversial and influential artistic movement in contemporary Korean art. With detailed formal analysis on the important artworks and locating them within the broader historical and intellectual framework\, Joan Kee vividly portrays how Korean artists responded to the international art world and positioned Tansaekhwa as an alternative to Euro-American art. Contemporary Korean Art makes essential reading for anyone interested in the non-Western artists’ negotiations to global art in the twentieth century.\"\n\nJoan Kee is associate professor of art history at the University of Michigan.\n\nDavid Chung is an artist and professor in the Stamps School of Art & Design.
