SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Mission Impossible? Probing the Higgs boson-charm quark coupling with the CMS Experiment
DESCRIPTION:How strongly the Higgs boson couples to second-generation quarks remains a central open question for testing the Standard Model’s flavor structure. I will present the CMS program targeting the Higgs boson-charm quark Yukawa coupling via Higgs decays to a pair of charm quarks. I will focus on a new search in the until-recently unexplored production mode where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a top-quark pair\, and discuss complementary searches in associated production with W or Z bosons. The key enabling tools in these searches are cutting-edge jet-flavor identification algorithms and novel analysis strategies that exploit event-level correlations\, both of which are powered by state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. I will outline prospects at the HL-LHC and close with opportunities at future Higgs factories.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week: Global War on Terror Veterans Panel
DESCRIPTION:The time period from the moment on Sept. 11\, 2001\, when the U.S. was attacked to the present day has been defined as a global war on terror. Unlike previous wars and conflicts\, and much like the Cold War of the last century\, this war’s boundaries\, objectives\, end\, and even enemies have been elusive to pin down. It has resulted in two wars\, many smaller conflicts\, and many lives lost. In this panel\, we hear from the men and women who have served during this era.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships: Adrienne Wood
DESCRIPTION:Adrienne Wood of the University of Virginia joins the RCGD Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nClose friendships are essential for well-being and are often built on shared interests\, identities\, or experiences. But interacting with new and diverse social partners also offers benefits\, like novelty\, a sense of belonging\, and future friendship. A healthy social network therefore balances social exploitation (investing in familiar relationships) and social exploration (interacting with strangers and embracing differences). In this talk\, I first present survey and experience sampling data that suggests preferences for spending time with friends versus acquaintances predict distinct patterns in well-being and social network structure. Despite its benefits\, social exploration comes with challenges: it can be harder to connect and or find common ground with dissimilar others. Drawing on sociocentric network data\, I show that successful exploration hinges not just on who we meet\, but how we perceive them: perceived similarity\, more than actual similarity\, predicts outcomes like belonging and even shared laughter. These findings suggest that the explore-exploit tradeoff in social life is not just about who we spend time with\, but how we bridge the unfamiliar into the familiar.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Close to Home: A Conversation on the Experiences of Migrant Farmworkers
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition* Best Used By*\, a roundtable discussion with social epidemiologist Lisbeth Iglesias-Rios\, artist Narsiso Martinez\, and arts curator Amanda Krugliak. The conversation will explore the complex and challenging experiences faced by farmworkers today\, as well as their heightened precarity due to the policies of the current administration\, through the lens of academic research\, public health\, visual storytelling\, and legal advocacy.\n\nMeet the Participants:\n\nNarsiso Martinez (b. 1977\, Oaxaca\, Mexico) came to the United States when he was 20 years old. He attended Evans Community Adult School and completed high school in 2006 at the age of 29. He earned an Associate of Arts degree in 2009 from Los Angeles City College. In the fall of 2012 Narsiso earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University Long Beach. In the spring of 2018 he received a Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from California State University Long Beach\, and was awarded the prestigious Dedalus Foundation MFA Fellowship in Painting and Sculpture. His work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. His work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum\, OCMA\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, University of Arizona Museum of Art\, Long Beach Museum of Art\, Crocker Art Museum\, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon\, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Martinez lives and works in Long Beach\, CA.\n\nDr. Iglesias-Rios’s research interests are the intersection of environmental and occupational health with precarious employment and labor exploitation in vulnerable populations. Her previous research assessed the impact of labor trafficking by studying how patterns of violence and coercion affect the mental health of female and male trafficking survivors including children\, adolescents and adults. She also sought to understand how the living and working conditions during trafficking affect the mental health of survivors. Dr. Iglesias-Rios is the Co-Investigator of the Michigan Farmworker Project\, a community-based participatory project that assess the working and living conditions of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the state of Michigan. The focus of the research is to investigate indicators of precarious employment and labor exploitation that involve psychosocial\, occupational and environmental exposures and complex contextual conditions (social\, economic and physical milieu) of farmworkers.\n\nAmanda Krugliak is a curator and artist known for performative\, conceptual\, and experiential installations\, in charge of programming for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery since 2009. In 2012\, she co-created the internationally recognized installation *State of Exception *with artist Richard Barnes and U-M anthropologist Jason De León based upon De León’s Undocumented Migration Project. She is frequently a guest lecturer and leads workshops on curating scholarship and the gallery as a social justice practice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar: The weak normalization of an affine semigroup
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk is on joint work with Srishti Singh (Mizzou). I'll discuss our recent preprint about affine semigroup rings\, which are fun and important examples of commutative rings formed from the combinatorial data of an affine semigroup\, which is a subset of N^n (or sometimes Z^n) which contains the zero vector and are closed under the usual +.  We studied the problem of Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings\, which\, due to some theorems of Bruns-Li-Römer\, are controlled by the (weak) normalization map. We construct an adjustment to an affine semigroup A which we called the p-weak normalization of A\, which depends on a fixed prime number p\, and from that we are able to bound Frobenius closure in the corresponding affine semigroup ring over a field of that characteristic. We also provide a script which compute this new weak normalization and then can use Macaulay2 to compute Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings defined over Z/pZ.
