SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability Seminar: Tail estimates of the stochastic six-vertex model: a tale from A^2
DESCRIPTION:Long story short: our goal is to describe tail decay and moderate deviation estimates for the distribution of the height function of the stochastic six-vertex model\, with narrow wedge initial condition.\n\nNow the long version. This whole tale of the tail started in Ann Arbor\, many many years ago. Explaining the embarrassment of our failure to find such estimates for so many years is the main reason for our talk. As we had to learn for our task\, such tail estimates are intimately connected with conditional thinning ensembles from random matrix theory\, and nonlocal versions of the so-called Painlevé equations. The unraveling of such connections was a parallel task that we had to overcome\, together with many other colleagues\, and led to interesting phenomena that we hadn't anticipated with our original question. During our talk\, we plan to go through such developments as well.\n\nThe talk is mostly based on joint works with Promit Ghosal (University of Chicago)\, but partially also in works in preparation with Tom Claeys (UC Louvain)\, Leslie Molag (Universidad Carlos III) and Lun Zhang (Fudan University).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student DGT
DESCRIPTION:Please come prepared with a talk that can last 15 minutes\, but can also downsize to 10 minutes. The talk should be for a wide range of audience who work in DGT broadly defined. You can center your talk around some small topic or method that you find fascinating\, or around your research interests and projects. \n\nYou are also welcome to just come and see what our peers are doing!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Emil Ferris
DESCRIPTION:Emil Ferris\, acclaimed for her graphic novel My Favorite Thing Is Monsters\, blends visual art with storytelling to create impactful works. Overcoming the West Nile Virus\, which left her partially paralyzed\, Ferris demonstrates remarkable resilience and dedication in her intricate cross-hatching and emotionally charged illustrations.\nMy Favorite Thing Is Monsters intertwines a coming-of-age story with a murder mystery and a historical reflection on the Holocaust. Through young Karen Reyes\, Ferris delves into themes of identity\, fear\, and the complexities of humanity. Her art\, inspired by horror magazines and pulp fiction\, juxtaposes the grotesque and the beautiful\, fostering empathy and understanding.\n\nFerris challenges the boundaries of graphic literature\, using the medium to address complex social issues and personal histories. Her work confronts internal and external monsters\, revealing profound truths about the human experience. By pushing the limits of graphic novels\, Ferris elevates the form to explore deeper narratives and emotional landscapes\, inviting readers into a world where art and story are inseparable.\n\nFerris's contributions extend beyond her graphic novels. In April 2022\, Ferris was reported among the more than three dozen comics creators who contributed to Operation USA's benefit anthology book\, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds\, a project spearheaded by editor Scott Dunbier\, whose profits would be donated to relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees resulting from the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.\n\nMy Favorite Thing is Monsters has been translated into French\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Spanish\, German\, and Korean. It has been honored with numerous awards\, among them: The Lambda Literary Award\, multiple Eisners\, the Ignatz\, and the Fauve d’or at the Angouleme Festival\, France.\n\nFerris has exhibited her art extensively in the US and Europe\, and prior to the pandemic she was honored to teach classes at the Louvre.\n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Library\, Vault of Midnight\, and the Ann Arbor District Library. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. Series presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Radio.
