SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR:   The natural flow and homological vanishing in nonpositively curved manifolds
DESCRIPTION:We introduce a flow on nonpositively curved manifolds inspired by the natural maps of Besson\, Courtois and Gallot for which the Morse theoretic data can be computed in terms of the geometric structure of the manifold. We present several applications of this flow\, including conditions for the nonexistence of complex subvarieties and estimates of the Cheeger constant on such manifolds. Most importantly\, we show the vanishing of the homology of discrete subgroups of isometries of a Hadamard space above a certain threshold which is computable from the geometry the Hadamard space and the critical exponent of the representation of the fundamental group. Time permitting\, we will present some examples including those arising from Anosov representations in higher rank lie groups. This is joint work with Shi Wang and Ben McReynolds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Two Dads Defending Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Joe Walsh\, Former Tea Party Congressional Representative (R-IL) and gun-rights supporter\, and Fred Guttenberg\, a businessman-turned-activist following his daughter’s murder in the 2018 Parkland school shooting\, once had a vitriolic relationship on Twitter (now X) and national networks. Recognizing the damage of such divisive posturing\, Walsh and Guttenberg began to forge a friendship. Join us for a conversation between two high-profile advocates from opposite ends of the political spectrum who found common ground on contentious issues through respect\, understanding\, and a willingness to listen and learn.\n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nJoe Walsh is a former Republican Congressman from Illinois elected to Congress in the Tea Party wave of 2010. Following his service in Congress\, Walsh became one of the most popular conservative talk radio hosts in the country\, syndicated in major markets throughout the U.S. In August of 2019 Joe became a candidate for President of the\nUnited States\, waging a Republican primary challenge against Donald Trump. \n\nJoe is currently the Director of The Social Contract and the host of a podcast called\, “White Flag With Joe Walsh\,” where Joe has weekly conversations with other well-known people to model how to have respectful\nconversations with those you disagree with. Joe comes from the MAGA base and also spends a lot of time engaging\, respectfully\, with that base. \n\nFred Guttenberg began his public life after the murder of his beautiful 14-year-old daughter Jaime. The day after the murder\, Fred attended a public vigil in Parkland. While there\, the Mayor asked him to speak. His words shook a nation.\nFred has traveled the country talking about perspective\, perseverance\, and resilience. He discusses pivotal moments in our life and how we respond to those moments. Fred Guttenberg’s professional life previously included over a decade of experience management with Johnson and Johnson\, followed by almost 15 years as an entrepreneur.\n\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Xiongnu: The World's First Nomadic Empire by Bryan Miller
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate Professor Miller's new book\, \"Xiongnu: The World's Nomadic Empire.\"\nXiongnu raises the case of the world's first nomadic empire as a prime example of the sophisticated developments and powerful influence of nomadic regimes. By weaving together archaeological examinations with historical investigations\, the book presents a more complex and nuanced narrative of how an empire based firmly in the steppe over two thousand years ago managed to formulate a robust political economy and a complex political matrix that capitalized on mobilities and alternative forms of political participation\, and allowed the Xiongnu to dominate vast realms of central Eurasia and leave lasting geopolitical effects on the many worlds around them.
