SUMMARY:Film Screening:Queens of Destruction
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media for a screening of \"Queens of Destruction\,\" a selection of films from the award-winning new collection\, Cinema's First Nasty Women. \n\n\"These women organize labor strikes\, bake (and weaponize) inedible desserts\, explode out of chimneys\, electrocute the police force\, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints.\" \n\nThe screening will feature an introduction by Prof. Maggie Hennefeld (University of Minnesota)\, who is a curator of the collection. The screening will be followed by a game of Death by Laughter Jeopardy with Hennefeld and Prof. Matthew Solomon (FTVM).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Burau representation and shapes of polyhedra
DESCRIPTION:The Burau representation is a kind of homological representation of braid groups that has been around for around a century. It remains mysterious in many ways and is of particular interest because of its relation to quantum invariants of knots and links such as the Jones polynomial. In recent work\, I came across a relationship between this representation and a moduli space of Euclidean cone metrics on spheres (think e.g. convex polyhedra) first examined by Thurston. After introducing the relevant definitions\, I'll explain a bit about this connection and how I used the geometric structure on this moduli space to exactly identify the kernel of the Burau representation after evaluating its formal parameter at complex roots of unity. There will be many pictures!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Uniform Izumi-Rees Property and Improvements to the Uniform Chevalley Lemma
DESCRIPTION:Let R be a Noetherian normal domain and P a prime ideal. The nth symbolic power P^(n) of P can be geometrically interpreted as the set of regular functions of R that vanish to order n at the generic point of V(P). With this geometric insight\, if P\subseteq Q are prime ideals within the non-singular locus of Spec(R)\, then the Local Zariski-Nagata Theorem states P^(n)\subseteq Q^(n) and translates into a natural criterion for vanishing order along non-singular algebraic sets: functions vanishing to order n at the generic point of V(P) must vanish to order at least n at the generic point of V(Q).\n \nHowever\, when Q is a singular prime\, the behavior of vanishing orders becomes less intuitive. Huneke\, Katz\, and Validashti's Uniform Chevalley Lemma rectifies this scenario by providing a constant C\, depending on Q\, such that if a function vanishes to order Cn at the generic point of V(P)\, then it must vanish to order at least n at the generic point of V(Q).\n \nIn our exploration of uniformity in Noetherian rings\, we introduce the Uniform Izumi-Rees Property\, which eliminates the dependency of the constant C on Q in the Uniform Chevalley Lemma. Furthermore\, we establish that normal domains essentially of finite type over a field enjoy the Uniform Izumi-Rees Property.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Opera: Reflecting on the Past\, Reaching toward the Future\" Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:A roundtable discussion on race in opera with guest artists Will Liverman and Karen Slack\, with SMTD's Dr. Louise Toppin and Professor George Shirley. Each will discuss their experience in their careers and what is needed from future generations as we continue to make classical music a more accessible\, inclusive space.\n\nThe discussion will be moderated by Dr. Antonio Cuyler\, with opening remarks by Dean Dave Gier.\n\nThis event is part of an artist residency with Will Liverman and Karen Slack funded by SMTD\, an Arts Initiative Grant\, and the SMTD office of DEI.  \n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nCalled “a voice for this historic moment” (*Washington Post*)\, GRAMMY Award-winning baritone WILL LIVERMAN has recently starred at the Metropolitan Opera in the title role of *X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X*. His album *Dreams of a New Day: Songs by Black Composers* was nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album.\nhttp://www.willliverman.com\n\nKnown for performances that “ripped the audience’s hearts out” (*Opera News*)\, KAREN SLACK is “not only one of the nation's most celebrated sopranos\, but a leading voice in changing-making spaces in classical music” (*Trilloquy*). A recipient of the 2022 Sphinx Medal of Excellence\, Slack is an Artistic Advisor for Portland Opera\, serves on the board of the American Composers Orchestra and Astral Artists\, and holds a faculty position at the Banff Centre.\nhttp://www.sopranokarenslack.com\n\n*The planned visit of guest artist John Holiday\, countertenor\, has been cancelled due to illness. We apologize for any inconvenience.*
