SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Indigenous Traditions of Resistance to Extractivism Series. Lecture and Workshop with Lorena Kab'nal
DESCRIPTION:Lecture (October 24\, 4-6 PM\, MLB 4th Floor Commons): Ancestral and Indigenous Epistemologies: Principles for Living with Dignity in Times of Death\n\nWorkshop (October 25\, 3-5 PM\, MLB 4th Floor Commons): Ancestral Resistances against Multiple Neoliberal Extractivisms\nRSVP is required to attend the workshop. Reading materials will be emailed before the event. RSVP at https://myumi.ch/5y1VW\n\nLorena Kab’nal is a *mujer originaria* (native woman) of three ancestral communities in Iximulew\, Guatemala: Maya Q'eqchí\, Maya K’iché\, and Xinka. She is an ancestral healer\, communitarian-territorial feminist\, and graduate of the National School of Theater Art in Guatemala. In recent years\, she cofounded Tzk’at\, a network of ancestral healers that provide an epistemological\, political\, and territorial space for women defenders of life and politically-at-risk communities to receive physical\, emotional and spiritual fortification\, healing\, and recovery.\n\nCosponsors: Department of American Culture\, Department of Anthropology\, Department of Political Science\, Departments of Romance Languages and Literatures\, Institute for Humanities\, LSA Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, Program in Native American Studies\n\nFunding for this event was partially provided by the Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Office and the Institute for Humanities in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (LSA).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Faltings’ Theorem
DESCRIPTION:One of the most famous results of 20th century mathematics is Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem\, which states that the only rational solutions to xⁿ+yⁿ=zⁿ for n>2 satisfy xyz=0. Thus there are at most 3 points on such a curve in ℙⁿ_ℚ. In 1922\, Mordell conjectured that a similar result holds in general: if we take a complete smooth curve C of genus g>2 over a finite extension K of ℚ\, then the set C(K) of K−rational points is finite.\n\nWe will cover Gerd Faltings' proof of Mordell's conjecture\, now known as Faltings' Theorem. In broad strokes\, the K−rational points on the curve C correspond to abelian varieties over K of specified dimension and bad reduction. We discuss how to show only finitely many isomorphism classes of these abelian varieties exist\; this generalizes a known result for global fields of prime characteristic to characteristic zero.

SUMMARY:Meeting:SynSem
DESCRIPTION:The syntax-semantics group provides a forum within which Linguistics students and faculty at UM\, and from neighboring universities (thus far including EMU\, MSU\, Oakland University\, Wayne State and UM-Flint) can informally present or just discuss and share their ongoing research in these domains. The group is frequently used by students to practice conference presentations and receive constructive feedback from familiar faces.
