SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dancing with the Dragon | Meet the Artist | Rewriting Power: Zhen Guo's Journey to Feminist Art
DESCRIPTION:*Presented as part of the Dancing with the Dragon Inititative. Learn more: https://myumi.ch/JPVp8*\n\nAttend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/e35nj\n\nAsian American artist Zhen Guo is the artistic leader of the U-M initiative\, \"Dancing with the Dragon\,\" centered around building and reinventing a full-body dragon as seen in traditional Asian dragon dances. Guo bridges traditional crafts with modern artistic interpretations\, and in this talk\, will present her journey and experiences that led to her own identity as a feminist and a transnational/transcultural artist.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cstep@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*\n\nPresented by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. This project was made possible by grants from the University of Michigan Arts Initiative and the Office of the Provost\, Global Engagement. \n\nAdditional funding was provided by ArtsEngine\, Center for World Performance Studies\, Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments\, and U.S. Department of Education.\n\nWith support from Asian Languages and Cultures\, International Institute\, James and Anne Duderstadt Center\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, Residential College\, School of Kinesiology\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, Taubman College\, University of Michigan Library\, University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Make Your Own Flyer Workshops
DESCRIPTION:*No prior experience required\, all supplies will be provided\"\n\nAre you curious about DIY art and culture? These art-making drop in workshops offer a hands-on way to engage with the ephemera of underground and independent music scenes featured in the Flyover Country exhibition. You will have the opportunity to make the poster for a dream show with a lineup of your favorite bands\, draw a protest flyer\, put together a collage art piece\, or even design a flyer for a real upcoming event you're planning.\nA button maker will be available for anyone who wants to turn a design into a punk-inspired button pin\, all participants will receive a free handout to take home with them.\n\nJanuary 28th workshop participants are also welcome to tape their finished flyers to a shared display wall in the gallery if they choose\, becoming part of the exhibit while it’s on view.  \n\nFree coffee\, tea\, and treats will be provided at both workshops on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On hypoellipticity of degenerate operators in testing and detection problems
DESCRIPTION:We study a class of degenerate diffusion generators that arise in sequential testing and quickest detection problems with partial information. The observation process is driven by k independent Brownian motions\, while the hidden state takes n+1 values with k<n. By moving to the posterior likelihood coordinates\, we analyze the Hömander's condition of the operator both without state switching (testing) and with switching (detection). We characterize the cases where the operator is hypoelliptic for the former\, give two different sufficient conditions for the latter\, and discuss their consequences.\n\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG SEMINAR GEOMETRY TOPOLOGY DYNAMICS:  Arithmeticity\, superrigidity\, and totally geodesic submanifolds
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, Bader and Furman extended Margulis' higher-rank superrigidity theorem using the notion of algebraic representations of ergodic actions\, abbreviated AREA. The idea now is to apply the AREA machinery in the rank-1 setting\, where superrigidity remains a mysterious phenomenon. This talk will serve as a preview for my talk in the Geometry seminar\, where I will discuss recent progress in this direction. In particular\, I will review important elements of Margulis' original proof of superrigidity and provide some context for the recent work of Bader-Fisher-Miller-Stover on the arithmeticity of finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with infinitely many maximal totally geodesic submanifolds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Fundamental solutions for Stokes flow in the half space
DESCRIPTION:Boundary integral equations (BIE) are widely used for simulating systems in viscous or small scale fluids modeled by the Stokes equation. Often\, systems of interest live in confined and/or periodic geometries\, such as the transport of cells in the blood vessel or bacterial suspensions near a stationary wall. The study of these systems benefit from the dimension reduction of the BIE methods\, but computation costs need to be reduced further due to the multiscale behaviors and large degrees of freedom. The free-space fundamental solution is often used in the BIE formulation\, but having a fundamental solution that satisfies more boundary conditions means less computation during the BIE solve. \n\nIn this talk I will present the fundamental solution for the 3D half-space\, where a stationary wall is set at z=0 with no-slip boundary conditions [1]. I will then present an alternative formulation by [2] that is individually net-force-free for periodization. These formulations use the free-space fundamental solutions of Stokes and Laplace equations and their derivatives\, and are therefore easily implemented and optimized due to the many free-space fast algorithms available\, including FMM. \n\n[1] Z.
