These manifolds are toy models for spatial geometry in general relativity. I will discuss a \"drawstring\" construction\, which modifies a manifold near a given curve\, reducing its length and incurring only negligible damage to a scalar curvature lower bound. This extends ideas of Basilio-Sormani and Lee-Naber-Neumayer. The drawstrings produce unexpected examples with relevance to a few areas\, including the question \"How flat is an isolated gravitational system with very little total mass?\" This is based on joint work with Kai Xu.

One aspect which has not been taken sufficiently into account is it’s relation to the antisemitic trials of his times\, where Jews were accused of treason or “ritual murder” : the trials of Tisza (Hungary\, 1882)\, Dreyfus (France\, 1894-1899)\, Hilsner (Czechoslovaquia\, 1899-1900) and Beiliss (Russia 1912-13). Kafka knew about them and made comments in his correspondence or diaries. This “Jewish moment” is essential for the understanding of the novel. However\, Joseph K. has no religious or ethnic identity: Kafka discovers in the Jewish experience the quintessential human experience of Injustice.\n\nThe University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science and the Arts greatly values inclusion and access for all.

However\, the efficiencies of most plasmon-driven and polariton-driven processes are quite low\, likely due to the lack of mechanistic understanding of the underlying physical processes. Here I’ll discuss our use of Raman spectroscopies to advance our fundamental understanding of these systems. First\, I’ll describe our development of ultrafast surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to probe the contributions of plasmon-generated hot electron transfer\, heating\, and vibrational energy transfer on timescales relevant to photocatalysis. Second\, I will talk about our efforts in mapping out reaction coordinates in polaritonic systems\, quantifying the degree of mode-specific activation. These efforts in developing a fundamental understanding of polariton and plasmon-mediated processes in molecules will ultimately aid in the rational design of cost-effective photonic materials capable of driving industrially relevant chemistries using solar radiation.
