SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Arithmetic
DESCRIPTION:Informally\, q-series can be considered as a summand containing (a\,q)_n = (1-a)(1-aq)...(1-aq^{n-1}). Specifically\, theta function is considered to be q-series and plays an important role in the theory of q-series. In this talk\, I will introduce the history of the theory of q-series and prove some important identities involving theta functions. Finally\, we will see how the approach from q-series are interacting with the mock theta functions. Speaker(s): Yiwang Chen (UM)

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:CenterSpace: Women Loving Women
DESCRIPTION:CenterSpace provides a weekly drop-in space for different communities within queer & trans life at the University of Michigan. Tuesday CenterSpace creates women loving women\, and those who are questioning or of similar identities\, to gain support from one another while building a community of collective resources. There will be a CenterSpace host each evening who identifies within the community being centered\, as well as light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Restoration of Early Sound Recordings using Optical Metrology and Image Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Unlike print and latent image scanning\, the playback of mechanical sound carriers has been an inherently invasive process. Some of the earliest sound recordings contain material of great historical interest\, may be in obsolete formats\, and are damaged\, decaying\, or are now considered too delicate to play. We will discuss the use of optical metrology and numerical methods to acquire and analyze high resolution digital images of the original media. The results will be illustrated with sounds and images. \n\nBio: Carl Haber is an experimental physicist. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University and is a Senior Scientist in the Physics Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California. His career has focused on the development of instrumentation and methods for detecting and measuring particles created at high energy colliders\, including Fermilab in the United States and at CERN near Geneva\, Switzerland. Since 2002 he\, and his colleagues\, have also been involved in aspects of preservation science\, applying methods of precision optical metrology and data analysis to early recorded sound restoration. He is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Energy\, climate change\, and the 2016 elections
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public - (pizza/drinks available at 3:45pm)\n\nAbout the panel:\nThe 2016 general election will have enormous implications for energy and climate policy in the United States. While much attention has been paid to the positions of presidential candidates\, congressional and state elections will also have major implications for how federal and state governments address a variety of crucial issues such as implementing greenhouse gas reduction policies\, regulating fracking\, managing the growth of renewable energy\, and much more. \nExperts Mark Barteau (University of Michigan Energy Institute)\, Katie O'Connell (Michigan Conservative Energy Forum)\, Barry Rabe (Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy)\, Daniel Raimi (Resources for the Future\, Ford School) and Lisa Wozniak (Michigan League of Conservation Voters) will discuss which elections they’re most closely watching\, and what different results might mean for energy and climate policy in Michigan\, Washington\, and beyond. \n \nPlease join us from 4:00 to 5:30 PM at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Annenberg Classroom 1120\, Weill Hall: 735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor. Pizza and drinks will be available at 3:45pm.\n \nSponsored by the University of Michigan Energy Institute and the Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP).\n\nCo-sponsored by Michigan's Graham Sustainability Institute and the Program in the Environment.\n\nPlease contact Daniel Raimi (draimi@umich.edu) with questions. \n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or energy.umich.edu  \n\nFollow on Twitter @closup  and  @MichEnergy

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We analyze the optimal investment strategy in a Black-Scholes financial market to minimize the so-called probability of drawdown\, namely\, the probability that the value of an investment portfolio reaches some fixed proportion of its maximum value to date. We assume that the portfolio is subject to a payout that is a deterministic function of its value\, as might be the case for an endowment fund.\n\nFor the infinite investment horizon\, we find that the optimal strategy coincides with the investment strategy that minimizes the probability of ruin\, c.f. Young [North American Actuarial Journal\, 8(4)\, 106-126\, 2004] and Bauerle and Bayraktar [Stochastics\, 86:2\, 330-340\, 2014]. However\, this relationship does not necessarily hold if the investment horizon is not infinite. We show this by determining the optimal strategy for the lifetime problem (i.e. when the investment horizon is an exponential random variable) and assuming a constant rate of consumption.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moving from Career Success to Retirement Success
DESCRIPTION:For those anticipating retirement in the next 24 months\, this six-session group on preparing for a satisfying retirement will combine exploration of relevant topics with creative expression and supportive discussion. The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThe series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement.\n \nThis series has the capacity for 14 participants\, and is open to all U-M staff\, faculty and students\, as well as the general public.

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)
