SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Seminar: Martin's Conjecture and order-preserving functions
DESCRIPTION:The field of computability theory studies the complexity of uncomputable problems. In this study\, a special role is played by the Halting Problem—i.e. the problem of determining whether a given program stops after a finite number of steps or runs forever. Not only is it the first problem proved to be uncomputable\, it also seems to be the simplest \"natural\" uncomputable problem. Martin's Conjecture is a long-standing open question in computability theory which partially explains why the Halting Problem plays such a special role. A key idea behind Martin's Conjecture is to view the Halting Problem not just as an individual problem\, but as an operator on problems\, which takes any problem to a strictly harder one. Martin's Conjecture consists of a classification of such operators\, which says\, in part\, that the Halting Problem is the minimal non-trivial operator. I will discuss the background and motivation for Martin's Conjecture\, as well as recent progress by Benjamin Siskind and myself which essentially completes a proof of the conjecture for a special class of operators called \"order-preserving.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EHAP Lecture Series: Subjective Selection and the Evolution of the Cultural Manifold
DESCRIPTION:In 1896\, Franz Boas declared that “the most difficult problem of anthropology” was to explain cultural traditions “that develop with iron necessity wherever man lives”. In this talk\, I will present a research program that aims to return to Boas’s problem using tools and insights from modern sociocultural\, cognitive\, and evolutionary approaches. Addressing shamanism\, music\, and prosocial religion\, I will draw on cross-cultural and long-term ethnographic research suggesting that complex\, ubiquitous cultural traditions reliably emerge as humans create and preferentially retain traditions that appear to satisfy regular proximate goals\, reconciling diverse approaches within cultural evolution. Our profound cultural similarities reflect our capacity to craft culture that compellingly satisfies widespread motivations.

DESCRIPTION:Join Texu Kim (San Diego State University) and Earl Lee (Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra) for an artist talk in which they discuss their experiences as classical musicians\, Korean classical music composers and the history of Korean classical performers.\n   \n   Texu (pronounced tech-soo) Kim (김택수\, b.1980\, he/him) writes music inspired by everyday experiences\, music about modern (South) Korea\, reflecting its multicultural nature\, and music that is humorous yet sophisticated. His music also incorporates and expands Korean folk music elements and systems.\n   \n   An impressive roster of ensembles and performers has programmed Kim’s music\, including the New York Philharmonic\, San Francisco Symphony\, LA Phil\, San Francisco Opera Orchestra\, Minnesota Orchestra\, Philharmonia\, San Diego Symphony\, Oregon Symphony Orchestra\, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra\, Detroit Symphony\, Oakland Symphony\, the New World Symphony\, National Orchestra of Korea\, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra\, New York Youth Symphony\, Portland Youth Philharmonic\, Ensemble Intercontemporain\, Ensemble Modern\, Alarm Will Sound\, AsianArt Ensemble Berlin\, Ensemble Reconsil Vienna\, Sejong Soloists\, New York Classical Players\, the Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia\, C4: Choral Composer-Conductor Collective\, Verona Quartet\, Red Clay Saxophone Quartet\, Collage New Music\, San Diego New Music\, Ensemble Mise-En\, Fear No Music\, 45th Parallel\, and many more. In 2014-16\, he served as the Composer-in-Residence of the Korean National Symphony Orchestra\, and he launched its Composers’ Atelier program that commissions\, mentors\, and performs other Korean composers’ orchestral works.\n   \n   An associate professor at San Diego State University\, Kim has received awards and honors from the Fromm Music Foundation\, the Barlow Prize\, the Civitella Ranieri Foundation\, Copland House\, SCI/ASCAP\, American Modern Ensemble\, Ilshin Composition Prize\, and Isang Yun International Composition Prize\, in addition to winning a Silver Medal in the 1998 International Chemistry Olympiad. Kim earned his D.M. from Indiana University and prior degrees from Seoul National University.\n   \n   Earl Lee\, winner of the 2022 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award\, is a renowned Korean-Canadian conductor who has captivated audiences worldwide. Music Director of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra since 2022\, he recently finished a successful three-year tenure as Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.\n   \n   In addition to a full season of concerts with the Ann Arbor Symphony\, Earl’s 24/25 season includes debuts with the Atlanta\, New World\, Colorado\, Sarasota\, and Victoria Symphonies and the Juilliard Orchestra\, returns to the San Francisco Symphony and Royal Conservatory Orchestra Toronto\, as well as a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 with the Colburn Orchestra and L.A.
