SUMMARY:Presentation:On representation theory in the higher Verlinde category Ver_4^+
DESCRIPTION:The higher Verlinde categories Ver_{p^n} were introduced independently by Coulembier and Benson-Etingof-Ostrik as generalizations of Ver_p (the semisimplification of Rep(Z/pZ))\; they conjectured that these categories appear in the analog of Deligne’s theorem in positive characteristic\, i.e. every symmetric tensor category of moderate growth admits a fiber functor to the union Ver_{p^\infty} of the nested sequence Ver_p \subset Ver_{p^2} \subset.... Therefore\, studying representations of affine group schemes in symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth reduces to studying representations of group schemes in these higher Verlinde categories. In this talk\, we consider representation theory in Ver_4^+\, which has a concrete description as the representation category Rep(k[d]/d^2) with twisted braiding. We present some results on representations of general linear groups\, related group schemes\, and Lie algebras in Ver_4^+\, and discuss unanswered questions in this area.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special HEP-Astro Seminar | Constraining the microphysics of high-density QCD
DESCRIPTION:What is the behavior of high-density\, low-temperature QCD? At the high densities reached in the cores of neutron stars\, this question becomes  difficult to answer. In this talk\, I will outline a framework to address  this question\, synthesizing inputs from nuclear theory\, high-energy  theory\, and astrophysics. I will discuss how this framework can be used  to constrain the degree of conformality of high-density QCD\, with implications for the cores of high-mass neutron stars. I will  furthermore highlight recent work to improve the perturbative-QCD input  used in the framework.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n
