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.
