SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions on your own with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you. \n\nThe state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets are $8 for adults\, seniors\, and children ages 3 & up. Babies without tickets may be required to sit on an adult's lap. Tickets are available the day of the show in the Museum Store. Schedule subject to change.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Spatiotemporal dynamics in neural systems: from data to mathematical models and computation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Neurons in cortex are connected in intricate patterns\, with local- and long-range connections and distance-dependent time delays for transmitting signals. In recent work\, we have found that spontaneous and stimulus-driven waves of neural activity travel over these networks\, sparsely modulating the spiking activity of the local network as they pass. The waves represent changes in the moment-by-moment activity state of these networks\, which in turn directly shapes neuronal responses to incoming visual input and causes measurable effects in visual perception.\n\nUnderstanding how the networks of cortex generate these sophisticated dynamics\, however\, remains an open problem. This is due\, in part\, to the fact that connecting the specific structure of networks to the resulting nonlinear dynamics is a difficult problem in general. Experiments suggest one mechanism for these waves could be the distance-dependent time delays due to transmitting spikes along the axons connecting neurons across these networks. Analyzing the underlying network mechanism for these waves thus represents an additional mathematical challenge\, as we need to consider systems with many time delays.  \n\nIn this talk\, I will present recent results from my group connecting the structure of individual networks to the resulting dynamics in systems of nonlinear Kuramoto oscillators. We introduce a complex-valued approach that allows linking the precise structure of connections in the network to the spatiotemporal patterns that will occur in individual simulations. This approach allows understanding these activity patterns in terms of a modification of the eigenspectrum of the graph adjacency matrix. This\, in turn\, leads to analytical predictions for the precise traveling wave patterns that will emerge in these systems. Finally\, I will present our latest efforts to understand computation with spatiotemporal dynamics in neural systems using these nonlinear network models.\n\nContact:  Guanhua Sun

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | What's Done Cannot Be Undone: Non-Invertible Symmetries
DESCRIPTION:In massless QED\, we find that the classical U(1) chiral symmetry is not completely broken by the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly. Rather\, it is resurrected as a generalized global symmetry labeled by the rational numbers. Intuitively\, this new global symmetry in QED is a composition of the naive axial rotation and a fractional quantum Hall state. The conserved symmetry operators do not obey a group multiplication law\, but a non-invertible fusion algebra. We further generalize our construction to QCD\, and show that the neutral pion decay can be derived from a matching condition of the non-invertible global symmetry.
