SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR: How does the critical exponent see the geometry?
DESCRIPTION:Given a discrete isometry group action on the hyperbolic spaces\, the critical exponent of the group measures the exponential growth rate of its orbit. This quantity not only sees the dynamics of the quotient manifold but also constrains its geometry. I will present my joint work with Wang that if the critical exponent is very small\, the quotient manifold is geometrically finite. Then I will focus on how the quantity changes when we deform the Fuchsian representations in the Hitchin component of PSL(3\, R)\, which is joint work in progress with Islam\, Martone\, and Pozzetti.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Michigan Society of Fellows: 55th Anniversary Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate with Us\nThe Michigan Society of Fellows’ 55th Anniversary Symposium will take place on November 6 to 7\, 2025\, at the historic Rackham Graduate School on the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus. This landmark gathering celebrates more than 55 years of interdisciplinary scholarship and artistic innovation and the vibrant community that has flourished through the society.\n\nAbout the Symposium\nThe program features 16 fellowship alumni in interdisciplinary panel dialogues exploring urgent and enduring questions across the sciences\, humanities\, and arts. The symposium also includes a recital of chamber music from the Haitian Revolution\, recovered by a recent fellow.\n\nTogether\, these panels and performances highlight the society’s ongoing contributions to scholarship\, public discourse\, and creative expression. The symposium offers a rare opportunity for intellectual exchange\, community building\, and collective reflection on the past\, present\, and future of the Michigan Society of Fellows.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is open to the public. For more details and to register\, please visit the Michigan Society of Fellows website: https://societyoffellows.umich.edu/anniversary-symposium/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Bethe Ansatz and dynamics of interacting particle systems
DESCRIPTION:We present a method\, using the Bethe Ansatz\, to produce exact dynamics for a collection of interacting particle systems. The Bethe Ansatz was introduced in 1931 by Hans Bethe to find eigenvectors and eigenvalues for the generator of a one-dimensional quantum spin system\, which is also the setting for this talk. While the Bethe Ansatz proved to be an effective computational tool\, providing deep insight into quantum spin chains\, it lacked many rigorous theoretical guarantees for many years. There has been much elucidating mathematical activity over the decades to understand the hidden symmetries and analytical consequences of the Bethe Ansatz\, and many theoretical questions have been answered. In this talk\, we address how to obtain exact dynamics for the Heisenberg-Ising XXZ spin-1/2 periodic chain using the Bethe Ansatz.  We provide precise formulas to take a linear combination of the eigenvectors from the Bethe Ansatz and obtain exact dynamics. The formulas presented have been rigorously confirmed for some special cases and the general case has only been confirmed numerically.\nThis talk is aimed at a general math audience with no special background needed beyond linear algebra and analysis.
