SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Relativistic Initial Data Sets with Prescribed Asymptotics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In General Relativity\, Einstein's equation may be viewed as a second-order system of nonlinear PDE's for the Lorentzian metric on (n+1)-dimensional spacetime that admits an initial value formulation. The required initial data is comprised of a (usually complete) n-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a symmetric (0\,2)-tensor\, respectively representing a spatially global \"instant in time\" and the \"initial velocity\" of the metric. The Gauss-Codazzi equations imply that not every such pair is admissible\, however\, and a working initial data set must satisfy certain nonlinear elliptic PDE’s dubbed the constraint equations. In this talk\, I will discuss recent work with several collaborators on the construction of working asymptotically flat initial data sets in which various asymptotic features of physical interest can be prescribed.\n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 4
DESCRIPTION:In the last four decades the popularity of Balkan \"Gypsy\" music has exploded\, becoming a staple at world music festivals and dance clubs in the United States and Western Europe. At the same time\, thousands of Balkan Roma have emigrated westward due to deteriorating living conditions\, racist threats and increased violence. In this heightened atmosphere of xenophobia\, entrenched stereotypes have arisen amidst deportations and harassment. Roma\, as Europe’s largest minority and one of its quintessential “historic others\,” face the paradox that they are revered for their music yet reviled as people. This illustrated lecture will explore the challenges Balkan Roma face as well as their resilience in transnational sites.\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, please register here: https://myumi.ch/y14ew
