SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brown Bag Seminar | Algebras\, ergodicity\, and the emergence of causality
DESCRIPTION:Given a general many-body quantum system\, how can we diagnose whether a holographic causal structure emerges as its number of degrees of freedom goes to infinity? In this talk\, I will explain which general tools the language of von Neumann algebras provides us with to address this question. In particular\, I will show that a sharp horizon structure emerges in the dual of N=4 SYM theory at finite 't Hooft coupling\, which allows to make sense of causality at nonzero string length in string theory. I will also elaborate on an intriguing interplay between the algebraic results we will encounter and the theory of chaos in classical and quantum dynamical systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Center for Emerging Democracies Book Talk. The Great Retreat: How Political Parties Should Behave and Why They Don't
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/VGp22\n\nAs the crisis of democratic capitalism sweeps the globe\, The Great Retreat makes the controversial argument that what democracies require most are stronger political parties that serve as intermediaries between citizens and governments.\n   \n   Once a centralizing force of the democratic process\, political parties have eroded over the past fifty years. Parties now rank among the most unpopular institutions in society--less trusted than business\, the police\, and the media. Identification with parties has plummeted\, and even those who are loyal to a party report feeling that parties care more about special interests than about regular citizens. What does a \"good\" political party look like? Why do we urgently need them? And how do we get them?\n   \n   The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties\, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. While parties have become professionalized and nationalized\, they have lost the robust organizational density that made them effective representatives. After the Cold War\, a neoliberal economic consensus\, changes to campaign finance\, and shifting party priorities weakened the party systems of Western democracies. As Didi Kuo argues\, this erosion of political parties has contributed to the recent crisis of democratic capitalism\, as weak parties have ceded governance to the private sector.\n   \n   For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism\, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties--socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens. Parties are essential to long-term democratic stability and economic growth\, while the breakdown of party systems\, on the other hand\, has historically led to democratic collapse. As trust in political parties has plummeted\, The Great Retreat provides a powerful defense of political parties--for without parties\, democratic representation is impossible.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Colorism Multimedia Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Colorism comprises works of video\, still photography\, and sculpture questioning our psychosocial and biological ideas about skin color and treatment of people\, based on skin tones\, including within racial groups. This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.
