SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series on Social Connection: Kristina Smiley
DESCRIPTION:Kristina Smiley\nUniversity of Michigan\nHow Hormones and Sensory Cues Shape the Parental Brain\nMarch 9\, 2026\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Winter 2026 RCGD Seminar Series: The Ties that Bond: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Social Connection\n\nThis seminar series brings together senior and early-career scholars to explore fundamental questions about how we connect\, protect\, and care. Talks will highlight lifespan and comparative approaches to understanding social connection\, physiological implications of social and race-related stressors\, and diverse conceptualizations of what it means to belong—from romantic and parent–child relationships to group and societal dynamics to technology-mediated interactions.\n\nRobin Edelstein\, Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and an affiliate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, has organized this series. She will introduce the series at this kick-off event that doubles as a faculty meeting.\n\nThe first seminar in the series will be Jan. 26. Join us on Mondays to learn about the biological\, social\, and developmental pathways that shape human connection.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Robin Edelstein\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:An introduction to Dirac geometry and reduction schemes for concurrent Dirac structures.
DESCRIPTION:I will provide first a gentle introduction to Dirac geometry\, which is a way to unify pre-symplectic and Poisson geometry\, as well as turning possibly singular Poisson structures into a perfectly smooth object. \n\nAfter this\, I will consider a particular situation of transferring Dirac structures which is the following:\ngiven an embedded submanifold X of a Dirac manifold (M\, L_M) and given p: X -> Y a smooth surjective submersion\, we want to derive the minimal set of conditions to transfer the Dirac structure L_M on M to a Dirac structure L_Y on Y. These conditions are however not compatible with concurrence\, which is a generalization for Dirac structures of the notion of commuting Poisson pairs. \n\nThen I will characterize a geometric structure\, more precisely a vector bundle E\subset TM|_X that is a \emph{witness} for concurrence: it allows to transfer weakly concurrent Dirac structures on M to weakly concurrent Dirac structures on Y. We show that the Marsden-Ratiu reduction in Poisson geometry is exactly a special case of this construction. Furthermore\, in the presence of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G on L_M\, there is a natural candidate for a witness E. \n\nThe main results carry over to the case of complex Dirac structures. This allows us to give an extension of the bi-Hamiltonian reduction of Casati\, Magri e Pedroni in terms of our framework and provide a (conjectural) interpretation of it in terms of complex Dirac structures. \n\nThis talk is based on a joint work with Dan Aguero\, Pedro Frejlich and Igor Mencattini.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Explaining the Historical Rise and Recent Decline in Social Security Disability Insurance Enrollment (joint with Maxwell Kellogg\, Magne Mogstad\, and Kuan-Ju Tseng)
DESCRIPTION:After substantial growth in the 1990s and 2000s\, enrollment in the U.S. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program has been declining since 2013. We use detailed administrative data to quantify the contributions of various factors to trends in SSDI enrollment\, focusing especially on the decline in the 2010s. A statistical decomposition suggests that the vast majority of the decline in SSDI enrollment since 2013 is attributable to declines in application rates -- and\, to a lesser extent\, award rates -- within demographic groups. There is very little contribution from changes over time in demographic characteristics\, eligibility\, or exit from SSDI. The decline in SSDI enrollment rates is disproportionately driven by older low-to-middle-skilled men with relatively severe health conditions who\, over time\, have become less likely to apply for SSDI and more likely to work. Consistent with this descriptive evidence\, we present results from a causal analysis suggesting that improved labor market opportunity for less-skilled workers is a key explanation of the decline in SSDI enrollment. We also investigate several other popular hypotheses for the decline in SSDI applications\, including lower award rates at the appeals level\, and find evidence at odds with them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Eigenvarieties over CM fields and Galois representations
DESCRIPTION:Eigenvarieties are parameter spaces for certain p-adic automorphic forms of varying weight. These objects have become increasingly popular for studying the Fontaine—Mazur conjecture\, which leads us to ask what kinds of Galois representations appear on eigenvarieties. Our main result shows that for eigenvarieties for the group GL_n over a CM field\, the associated Galois representations are trianguline at all p-adic places\, resolving a conjecture of Hansen (following Kisin\, Colmez\, Bellaiche—Chenevier). The strategy of proof (which could be of independent interest) is to embed eigenvarieties for GL_n into an eigenvariety for a 2n-variable unitary group.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Xiaoyang Zhu \"Exciton Sensing of Correlated Electrons\, Spins\, and Dipoles\"
DESCRIPTION:Correlation plays a central role in emergent phenomena\, such as quantum ground states and collective excitations. Here\, I will discuss what we can learn from time-domain sensing of correlation in two dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors\, where excitonic transitions are intimately related to bandgap modulation\, effectively dielectric constant\, and Pauli repulsion. In the 2D vdW magnetic semiconductor\, CrSBr\, excitonic transition is found to strongly couple to magnetic order and this allows the easy detection of low energy (GHz-THz) magnons by visible-NIR light. In the 2D vdW magnetic semiconductor\, NbOI2\, we report the experimental discovery of a quasi-particle\, the ferron\, which may form the basis for new modes of information processing and control. In twisted bilayer MoTe2\, we demonstrate exciton sensing as hitherto the most sensitive probe of electron correlation in moiré quantum matter\, including signatures for a coveted quantum phase - the fractional topological insulator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student combinatorics seminar: Standard Monomials for the Grassmannian
DESCRIPTION:Given a subvariety of the Grassmannian\, a standard monomial is a monomial which does not lie in the associated initial ideal. This simple definition has proved a powerful tool for proving certain algebro-geometric properties of the subvariety. In this talk\, we'll first consider the standard monomials for the Grassmannian. We'll then look at recent work by Almousa\, Gao\, and Huang which gives a description of the standard monomials for a positroid variety in terms of a special type of semistandard tableaux. \n\nThis talk is based on the delightful paper Standard Monomials for Positroid Varieties by Almousa\, Gao\, and Huang from 2024.
