SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Anthony Licata- Geometric Group Theory and Triangulated Categories
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There are tantalising analogies between the theory of mapping class groups and other classes of groups\, and as a result the well-developed study of mapping class groups has been an important model to mimic in other parts of group theory.  I'll try to describe how some ideas from geometric group theory have been imported into the study of groups arising in homological algebra and representation theory.\n\nBio: I grew up in Texas\, and got my PhD from Yale in 2007.  I have worked at the Australian National University since 2012. I am a Professor in the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University in Canberra\, Australia.\n\nI work on geometric representation theory and categorification.  Most of my work involves interactions between representation theory and low-dimensional topology (braids\, knot homologies)\, symplectic algebraic geometry (quiver varieties\, Hilbert schemes)\, and algebraic combinatorics (symmetric functions\, hyperplane arrangements).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Emerging Democracies Roundtable | A New Era of War and Dictators?
DESCRIPTION:After the Cold War ended\, democracy seemed to become the predominant form of government and civil war seemed to become the predominant form of warfare worldwide. Now\, international warfare and authoritarian regimes seem to be making major simultaneous comebacks. This roundtable considers whether these comebacks are real or illusory\, and if the relationships between types of political regimes and types of political violence are truly shifting.\n   \nWebinar link: https://myumi.ch/R3ryd\n\n*Cosponsored by Conflict & Peace\, Research & Development (CPRD)*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at rrazmi@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Projective Measured Lamination and Masur Domain
DESCRIPTION:Measured foliations and train tracks are fundamental tools for understanding the geometry of hyperbolic surfaces and 3–manifolds. In particular\, a hyperbolic 3–manifold with finitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants—geometric data encoded by the ending laminations on its boundary [1]. Both compressible and incompressible boundaries can occur. However\, in the compressible case—when a surface bounds a handlebody—not every lamination can arise as an ending lamination\; only those that are incompressible can.\n\nThis phenomenon was studied by Masur and Kerckhoff in the 1980s\, who showed that the mapping class group of a handlebody acts properly discontinuously on an open subset of the space of projective measured laminations [2]. This open set\, known as the Masur domain\, has full measure with respect to the Thurston measure and consists entirely of incompressible laminations [3]. In this talk\, we follow Masur and Kerckhoff’s approach to reproduce this result. Also\, we will see that it contains a beautiful application of train track theory.\n\nReference:\n[1] J. F.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Jeff Fessler\, William L. Root Distinguished University Professor\, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Diffusion models can learn strong image priors and use them to solve inverse problems. However\, standard methods come with many challenges in medical and scientific applications: they are computationally expensive\, they require lots of training data\, and they may not be robust to distribution shifts between the training data and the test data. This talk will describe methods for tackling these challenges\, focusing on medical imaging inverse problems like MRI and low-dose Xray CT image reconstruction. Work with Jason Hu\, Bowen Song\, Xiaojian Xu and Liyue Shen.
