SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Computational Geometry for Design Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Numerical analysis and optimization are valuable tools for aircraft design\, especially for new configurations with little historical data or designer intuition. However\, complex designs can be excluded from high-fidelity design optimization due to limitations in how geometry is handled.\nNew geometric parameterizations and constraints have not been studied in depth and few methods allow for the optimization of designs with intersections. This research opens optimization to a larger range of aircraft designs by addressing gaps in understanding of the performance of different geometric parameterizations and the effects of spatial integration constraints as well as developing two methods for optimizing designs with intersections.\n\nIn-Person 1044 FXB (McDivitt Conference Room) or Virtual: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91726076075 (passcode: geo)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Service Organizations and Institutional Pluralism: How Structural Filtering Generates Inequality in Client Service and Complicates Mission Fulfillment
DESCRIPTION:Public service organizations (PSOs) in the United States are mission-driven entities that reflect American commitments to democratic opportunity. They also are emblematic “institutionalized organizations” whose legitimacy and success depend on isomorphism with rules or “logics” of their institutional environment. Given the complex\, pluralistic nature of PSOs’ institutional environment\, what determines whether organizational actors can prioritize logics aligned with American opportunity? And if they cannot\, what are the consequences—both for their clients’ organizational experiences and for the broader imperative of mission fulfillment? In this paper\, we answer these questions using the case of public U.S. higher education\, drawing on unique interview data gathered from organizational actors and their clients (here\, students). We find that internal structural attributes—including role specialization\, task standardization\, and centralization of resource-based decision making—and the related process of structural filtering\, centrally drive organizational actors’ logic prioritization and in turn\, profoundly impact the character of client interactions and mission fulfillment. Specifically\, when structural filtering prevents organizational actors from prioritizing democratic logics\, student experiences decline in quality and become more unequal: patterns misaligned with mission fulfillment. We conclude by discussing implications for the organizational production of inequality and for public trust in PSOs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory Seminar: Friday\, March 21
DESCRIPTION:We study the design of mechanisms when the designer faces multiple plausible scenarios and is uncertain about the true scenario. A mechanism is dominated by another if the latter performs at least as well in all plausible scenarios and strictly better in at least one. A mechanism is undominated if no other feasible mechanism dominates it. We show how analyzing undominated mechanisms could be useful and illustrate the tractability of characterizing such mechanisms. This approach provides an alternative criterion for mechanism design under non-Bayesian uncertainty\, complementing existing methods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Spectral diffusion in wave turbulence
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Classical concept in turbulence is an energy cascade from large to small scales leading to the famous Kolmogorov spectrum.  In Wave Turbulence (WT)\, where the fundamental motions are random interacting waves rather than hydrodynamic vortices\, an analogue to the Kolmogorov spectrum is a Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectrum describing stationary states with a constant energy flux from long to short wave modes. The Kolmogorov scenario relies on a locality property which assumes that the dominant nonlinear interaction occurs among scales (e.g. wave lengths) of similar sizes. This property is violated in some important WT systems\, and one has to construct alternative theories describing interactions of widely separated scales.  An important example here is the spectral diffusion describing evolution of WT when the dominant interactions are with an infrared end of the spectrum. In my talk\, I will introduce the main ideas\, mathematical descriptions and results for the WT systems arising in several well-known applications: water surface gravity waves\, internal waves\, planetary Rossby waves and MMT models.\n\nContact:  Zaher Hani

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dual Schubert polynomials and Postnikov-Stanley polynomials (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Dual Schubert polynomials and their skew generalization\, Postnikov-Stanley polynomials\, possess deep geometric and algebraic properties. Dual Schubert polynomials\, introduced by Bernstein\, Gelfand\, and Gelfand in 1973\, represent the intersection degrees of Schubert varieties via Borel-Weil embeddings. In 2005\, Postnikov and Stanley further showed that these polynomials form a dual basis to Schubert polynomials in the polynomial ring with infinitely many variables under the D-pairing\, demonstrating that\, despite their distinct geometric and combinatorial definitions\, they encode the same information. Thus\, research on dual Schubert polynomials sheds new light on classical problems in Schubert calculus.\n\nIn joint work with Serena An and Katherine Tung\, we extend this perspective to the study of Postnikov-Stanley polynomials\, proving that they represent the intersection degrees of Richardson varieties via Borel-Weil embeddings\, and are therefore Lorentzian polynomials. Additionally\, we provide an elegant and complete characterization of the supports of dual Schubert polynomials\, which leads to a polynomial-time algorithm for determining whether a given term appears in a dual Schubert polynomial. I will also discuss open problems related to Postnikov-Stanley polynomials and their broader implications for Schubert calculus.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The Full Spectrum of Thermal Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:This seminar presents a comprehensive analysis of thermal relic freezeout mechanisms\, deriving simple-to-use analytical relationships between dark matter mass and coupling strengths that explain the observed cosmic abundance. This unified framework reveals a generalized perturbative unitarity bound on dark matter mass applicable across the full spectrum of thermal freezeout processes.\nNotably\, I will demonstrate how thermal dark matter masses can exceed the conventional 100 TeV unitarity limit—potentially reaching the Planck scale—through mechanisms involving nearly degenerate states and metastable dark matter configurations. Specifically\, I will introduce new concepts like zombie and drunk dark matter to enable the realization of superheavy thermal dark matter. Finally\, I will show that weak-scale thermal dark matter can naturally arise even in scenarios with extremely small coupling strengths.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Mixed Hodge Structures
DESCRIPTION:Hodge theory is a central area of algebraic geometry\, and one of its celebrated achievements is Deligne's Mixed Hodge structures introduced in the 70s. These structures generalize classical Hodge theory\, extending it from the cohomology of smooth projective varieties to that of all varieties.\n\nThe goal of this talk is to introduce Mixed Hodge structures for smooth varieties and see some of their applications. In particular\, we will prove the Global Invariant Cycle Theorem.\n\n If time permits\, we will also discuss an application to the cohomology of algebraic varieties and a connection between Hodge theory and singularities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Kristin Bergmann\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:With this talk\, I explore pre-Cenozoic glaciations to answer the following questions: \"What is the record of ice volume and extent through time\, and can this be reconciled with the oxygen isotope record?\". Utilizing carbonate-clumped isotope thermometry and integrating observations from the geologic record\, I will first examine the end-Ordovician glaciation—a test case that exhibits both similarities to and differences from Cenozoic glaciation. Prior to glaciation\, a long-term gradual cooling trend is mirrored by Ordovician radiation in biological diversity\, consistent with temperature-dependent oxygen solubility and metabolism as primary controls. Evidence for significant ice growth is constrained to less than 2 Myr of the Hirnantian Stage\, underscoring the high sensitivity of ice growth to pCO₂ and temperature. Our independent estimates for ice volume\, area\, and sea-level change during the Hirnantian glacial maximum are internally consistent and comparable to those of the Last Glacial Maximum. In addition to our work documenting cooling in the lead-up to the end-Ordovician Hirnantian glaciation\, our targeted geographic studies have also allowed us to reconstruct progressive and protracted cooling before the Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation and the Late Paleozoic Ice Age. These three case studies suggest that a cool\, low pCO₂ climate is a prerequisite for glaciation\, even Snowball Earth\, and highlight the importance of identifying and constraining meteoric alteration associated with large amplitude sea level change before interpreting isotope records. The implications of these results extend to refining current paleoclimate models\, especially in understanding transitions from greenhouse to icehouse conditions.
