SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DEX Specs: A Mean Field Approach to DeFi Currency Exchanges
DESCRIPTION:We investigate the behavior of liquidity providers (LPs) by modeling a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (DEX) based on Uniswap v3. LPs with heterogeneous characteristics choose optimal liquidity positions subject to uncertainty regarding the size of exogenous incoming transactions and the prices of assets in a centralized market. They engage in a game among themselves\, and the resulting liquidity distribution determines the exchange rate dynamics and potential arbitrage opportunities of the pool. We calibrate the distribution of LP characteristics based on Uniswap data and the equilibrium strategy resulting from this mean-field game produces pool exchange rate dynamics and liquidity evolution consistent with observed pool behavior. We subsequently introduce Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) bot attackers and develop a Stackelberg game between LPs and bots. This results in more accurate simulated pool exchange rate dynamics and stronger predictive power regarding the evolution of the pool liquidity distribution.\n\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar and Asaf Cohen

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrifying Nitrogen Splitting for Ammonia Synthesis
DESCRIPTION:The electrochemical reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia promises a sustainable route to fertilizers and fuels. A mechanism based on direct N2 splitting into metal nitride complexes\, followed by proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) to generate NH3\, will be considered. Electrochemical kinetic and spectroscopic studies of rhenium and molybdenum complexes capable of reductive N2 binding and splitting provide molecular-level mechanistic details on key steps relevant to ammonia synthesis. The mechanistic studies are complemented by molecular orbital theory analyses probing fundamental aspects of dinitrogen bonding and reactivity\, guiding the design of catalysts for ammonia synthesis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Liberationist Christianity in Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Professor Löwy calls “Liberationist Christianity” the vast social-religious movement\, which emerged at the beginning of the 1960s\, with a strong commitment to fight for social liberation. This movement involved considerable sectors of the Church – priests\, religious orders\, bishops – lay religious movements – Catholic Action\, the Christian student movement\, Christian young workers – pastoral committees with a popular base – labour\, land and urban pastorals –and ecclesiastical base communities. Liberation Theology\, which emerged after 1971 was the expression of this movement. The Church as an institution supported the military coup of 1964\, but under the influence of Liberationist Christianity it became\, after 1970\, a frontal opponent to the military dictatorship. Without this social-religious movement one cannot understand the emergence of a new workers and peasant movement in Brazil during the 1980’s (the Workers’ Party\, the Union Confederation\, and the Landless Peasants’ Movement\, etc.)\n   \nMichael Löwy\, born in Brazil in 1938\, has lived in Paris since 1969. He is an emeritus research director in social sciences at the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research). His books include *Redemption and Utopia: Liberation Judaism in Central Europe*\, *Marxism in Latin America*\, and *The War of the Gods: Religion and Politics in Latin America*. His writings have been translated into 30 languages.
