SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry Semianr    L^q-spectra of dynamically driven self-similar measures: the multi-dimensional case
DESCRIPTION:A great deal of interest in fractal geometry centres on determining the dimensional properties of self-similar sets and measures\, as well as of their projections and convolutions. In a seminal contribution dating from nearly a decade ago\, Hochman achieved substantial progress towards the celebrated exact overlaps conjecture\, establishing that the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the real line matches the similarity dimension whenever the generating iterated function system satisfies exponential separation. The result was subsequently refined by Shmerkin\, who established the analogue for the full L^q-spectrum of self-similar measures and successfully applied it to settle long-standing conjectures in dynamics and fractal geometry\, most notably Furstenberg's intersection conjecture for the action of multiplicatively independent integers on the torus. In joint work with Shmerkin\, we extend the dimensional result to any ambient dimension under an additional unsaturation assumption\; as in the one-dimensional case\, our framework consists of the class of dynamically driven self-similar measures\, which allows for a unified treatment of self-similar and stochastically self-similar measures\, their projections and convolutions. The argument relies crucially on an inverse theorem for the L^q-norm of convolutions of discrete measures in Euclidean spaces\, recently established by Shmerkin\, akin in spirit to the asymmetric version of the Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers theorem due to Tao and Vu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Graduate Student Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Presenters Danuta Allen and Sophia Eakins joins us in person in Rackham's East Conference Room and on Zoom.\n\nSophia Eakins is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics where her research explores language contact\, language change\, and Creole languages\, often through sociolinguistic and phonetic/ phonological lenses. She is advised by Professors Andries Coetzee and Jelena Krivokapić at the University of Michigan and Professor Marlyse Baptista at the University of Pennsylvania.\n\nTitle: Cabo Verdean Creole in New England: Contact and Innovation in the Diaspora\n\nAbstract: The Cabo Verdean language has garnered attention in research due to its rich variation and sociohistorical status as a Creole language (e.g. Swolkein\, 2013\; Veiga\, 1982\; Quint\, 2001\; Lang\, 2007\; Taveres Moreira\, 2020\; Baptista\, 2002\, 2015\, 2020). Much of the research\, however\, has focused on the island community and overlooked the language practices of the vast Cabo Verdean diaspora. The investigations presented in this talk shift the spotlight to one of the largest diasporic communities: Cabo Verdeans in New England. I will share two studies on different aspects of the linguistic practices of this population. The first addresses the bilingual English-Kriolu language mixing strategies. The second explores a key aspect of dialectal variation within the Kriolu language spoken in the diaspora. By employing a community-centered approach to both its design and analysis (Léglise & Migge\, 2006\; Bancu et al.\, 2024)\, this research ultimately hopes to portray some of the unique and rich language practices of Cabo Verdean American diasporans.\n\n\nDanuta Allen\nTitle: The Syntax of Complementizer Agreement in Polish\n\nAbstract: In this presentation\, I discuss the variation in possible agreement marking present on the complementizer and the verb in sentences with coordinated subjects in Polish. The empirical data poses several problems for various approaches to agreement\, which suggests the need to consider alternatives to these analyses on theoretical grounds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Workshop With Hazal Özdemir :Central Asian Studies RIW
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 11th\, the Central Asian Studies RIW will meet in 1014 Tisch at 4pm to workshop an article-in-progress from Hazal Ozdemir\, a 2024-2025 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in Armenian History at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. The article is titled\, \"Women’s Mobility as a Legal Battlefield:Gendering Armenian Property in the Late Ottoman Empire\,\" and a description is below. All are invited to attend and take part in the workshop!  We will provide free food for all attendees. The paper will be circulated one week before the workshop. \nThe transatlantic journey of Ottoman Armenians began as a temporary labor migration for men. However\, the policies of Abdülhamid II's government (1876-1909) quickly changed the nature of this mobility. In 1896\, an imperial decree permitted Armenians to emigrate to the United States if they renounced their Ottoman subjecthood and pledged not to return. When Armenian men who had migrated before 1896 faced deportation upon return\, they sought to bring their families to the U.S. This paper argues that the Hamidian government enacted complicated laws regarding the emigration of Armenian women\, reflecting a strategy aimed at seizing Armenian property and challenging American extraterritoriality. \nFor questions please reach out to Albert Cavallaro at albertca@umich.edu. \nBest\, Albert Cavallaro
