SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IGCB Seminar: Prof Anshuman Swain.
DESCRIPTION:IGCB Seminar Series: Prof Anshuman Swain\n\nEchoes in the Rock: Past Ecosystems as a Guide for Understanding Tomorrow's World\n\nEcosystems are defined by the interactions among and between the organisms and their environment. In an era of unprecedented global change\, understanding the fundamental rules governing the stability of ecosystems and their biodiversity is critical. This talk bridges deep time and the present by exploring how abiotic and biotic interactions shape biodiversity patterns. We will utilize the Cenozoic fossil record (the last 66 My)\, and in specific\, the marine micropaleontological data and terrestrial plant-insect associations to track community responses to long-term climate shifts and environment perturbations. By integrating paleontological data with ecological informatics\, this talk aims to uncover how past patterns of environment-driven change can provide crucial insights for anticipating and addressing the impacts of future global change scenarios.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775
DESCRIPTION:The William L. Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The MAIA Detector for a 10 TeV Muon Collider
DESCRIPTION:Muon colliders have recently emerged as an exciting option to access the 10 TeV energy scale. However\, significant research and development is required to address the fundamental challenge that muons are unstable\, and will decay continuously while moving through an accelerator complex. In addition\, any detector will see a very large beam-induced background (BIB) from the decay of muons in the colliding beams. In this talk\, I will introduce and motivate the concept of a muon collider\, discuss some of the broader challenges\, and then present MAIA (Muon Accelerator Instrumented Apparatus)\, a proposed detector design for a 10 TeV muon collider.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: Arithmetic Modularity and Arithmetic Chow Groups
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We study the analogue of Kudla-Millson's work in the arithmetic setting. The arithmetic modularity conjecture states that Kudla's generating series defines a holomorphic automorphic form valued in the Chow group of the unitary Shimura variety. We also discuss known progress towards this conjecture. We next define the arithmetic Chow group\, a refinement of the usual Chow group of an algebraic variety defined by Gillet-Soule in the spirit of Arakelov theory\, which will be useful for defining further refinements of Kudla's conjecture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series: DeAnnah R. Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Dr. DeAnnah R. Byrd will present \"Risk Factors\, Protective Pathways\, and Lifespan Perspectives of Cognition in Black Americans\,\" discussing health disparities research across the life course\, making between-group and within-group comparisons\, and charting the effects of risk and protective factors on memory and cognitive changes in older Black/African Americans. \n\nDr. DeAnnah Byrd is an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University (ASU) in Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. And is a Faculty Affiliate of the Center for Innovation and Healthy and Resilient Aging (CHIRA) at ASU and an Associate at the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research at the University of Michigan. Dr. Byrd received her PhD in Community Health Sciences from UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health in 2017. Her early work formed the basis of her current research program\, which examines the effects of risk (chronic conditions\, biological and psychosocial stressors) and protective (coping and social support) factors on memory and cognitive changes in older African Americans. Dr. Byrd is committed to help improve cognitive outcomes. Her work has been funded by the National Institute on Aging\, the Alzheimer's Association\, and the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Center. She has received multiple awards\, and her work is recognized both nationally and internationally. \n\nBriana Mezuk hosts.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series features speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Non-reductive cycles and L-functions in arithmetic geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There are many fundamental conjectures and programs around L-functions\, algebraic cycles and Galois actions on algebraic solutions of polynomial equations\, e.g. Langlands and Kudla program. Unlike function field analogs which is more topological (via \ell not = p sheaves)\, the real story over number fields and their local fields is more analytic involving \ell = p cycles and (g\,K)-cohomology\, which needs to be further developed.\n\nIn this talk\, I will firstly give my (naive) understandings of these programs and examples. For central / non-central L-values and p-adic L-functions\, in general we must use non-reductive type period integrals and cycles\, e.g. L-functions for GLn x GLm. Then I will give some arithmetic analogs\, constructions of non-reductive cycles and applications\, e.g. a proof of twisted AFL for GL_n. I use two observations: pullback of non-algebraic cycles could be algebraic and useful\; raising “the categorical level\" by one and applying extra symmetry (e.g. global modularity) is really useful.\n\nTime permitting\, I will discuss more aspects of non-reductive cycles (ramifications / archimedes / algebraicity..)\, based on what we learn from function field analogs (after the work of Ben-Zvi-Sakellaridis-Venkatesh). I will also present a conjecture on Albanese of projective U(n-1\,1)-Shimura varieties.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The End of US Global Leadership? Foreign Assistance\, US National Security\, and the Case for Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\n\nThis event will offer a timely and thought-provoking discussion on the implications of the suspension of U.S. foreign assistance\, with a particular focus on the nation’s role in supporting international human rights\, democracy\, and the rule of law. In light of recent decisions to terminate grants deemed not to serve core national interests\, we will explore why the U.S. has supported human rights and democracy efforts as a fundamental aspect of its foreign policy since the Carter Administration. What has changed in the U.S. perspective since then? We will also examine the Biden Administration's stance on expanding support in this area and ask: Is there a compelling case to be made that international protections for rights and the rule of law ultimately benefit the U.S.? Join us for a deep dive into these pressing questions shaping the future of U.S. foreign policy.\n\nFrom the Speaker’s Bio:\n\nBama Athreya\, Ph.D\, most recently served as Deputy Assistant Administrator in USAID’s Bureau for Inclusive Growth\, Partnerships and Innovation\, where she managed global portfolios related to gender equality\, child protection\, youth in development\, and ensuring the rights and inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented populations.  She has been a senior leader in the public and nonprofit sectors. She has led interagency and multilateral engagement and represented the US government in delegations to the UN General Assembly\, Commission on the Status of Women\, G20 and COP28. She previously held an Economic Inequality Fellowship with Open Society Foundations focused on the digital economy and served as a senior advisor for gender\, equity and inclusion to Laudes Foundation.  Past positions include a previous stint at USAID’s Center for Democracy\, Rights and Governance\, where she worked on new policy guidance and developed global programming to advance labor rights and women’s economic empowerment.  She also spent several years leading human rights advocacy as the Executive Director of the International Labor Rights Forum. She has a longstanding affiliation with the University of Michigan. She has previously served on the Board of Advisors for the Erb Institute\, taught short courses as a visitor at Ford School\, and completed her. Ph.D. in cultural anthropology at the Rackham Graduate School.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Twist for Positroids
DESCRIPTION:Grassmann necklaces describe combinatorially the stratification of the Grassmannian into positroid varieties. Plabic Graphs are finer combinatorial objects than Grassmann necklaces that not only index positroids but also parametrize points in positroids\, through the boundary measurement map. Given a reduced plabic graph\, we can assign target face labels to each face\, and the boundary face labels give us the corresponding Grassmann necklace\, which tells us the non-vanishing pluckers in the positroid. It is known that the face label pluckers give a cluster in the cluster structure on the Grassmannian.  A natural question is\, what can the internal face labels tell us geometrically? It is not generally true that these are the non-vanishing pluckers in the image of the boundary measurement map for positroids over the complex numbers. In this talk\, we introduce the twist map\, constructed by Muller-Speyer\, which are automorphisms of the positroid variety\, taking the image of the boundary measurement map to a torus defined by the non-vanishing of face label pluckers.
