SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tales of the Maya Skies
DESCRIPTION:Tales of the Maya Skies immerses viewers in the wonders of Maya science\, cosmology and myth. This beautifully illustrated story takes us back in time to the jungles of Mexico to discover how Maya scholars developed a sophisticated understanding of astronomy\, architecture\, and mathematics that enabled them to predict solstices\, solar eclipses\, weather patterns and planetary movements.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Multiscale Modeling\, Simulation\, and Analysis of Microstructure Evolution in Polycrystalline Materials
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Many technologically useful materials are polycrystals composed of small monocrystalline grains that are separated by grain boundaries of crystallites with different lattice orientations. The changes in the grain and grain boundary structure of polycrystals highly influence the material’s properties\, including\, but not limited to\, electrical\, mechanical\, optical\, and thermal. Thus\, one of the central problems in materials science is to design technologies capable of delivering an arrangement of grains that produces a desired set of material properties.\n\nA method by which the grain structure can be engineered in polycrystalline materials is through grain growth (coarsening) of a starting structure. The evolution of the grain/grain boundary structure and associated grain growth is a very complex\, multiscale\, and multiphysics process. It involves\, for example\, the dynamics of grain boundaries\, triple junctions in 2D (triple curves/lines and quadruple points in 3D)\, and the dynamics of lattice misorientations. Therefore\, grain growth can be regarded as the anisotropic evolution of a large cellular network and can be described by a set of deterministic local evolution laws for the growth of individual grains combined with stochastic models for the interaction between them. In this talk\, we will present recent perspectives on mathematical modeling\, numerical simulation\, and mathematical analysis of the evolution of the grain boundary network in polycrystalline microstructures. Relevant recent experiments\, along with current and future research\, will be discussed as well.\n\nPart of this talk is based on the recent collaboration/work with Katayun Barmak\, Batuhan Bayir\, William M Feldman\, David Kinderlehrer\, Chang (Kamala) Liu\, Chun Liu\, Masashi Mizuno\, Thuong Nguyen\,  Matthew Patrick\, and Jeffrey Rickman\, and is partially supported by the DMREF program under DMS-2118172 Award and the Simons Foundation Fellowship Award SFI-MPS-SFM-00010667.\n\nContact:  Selim Esedoglu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Determinants of tree distance matrices and submatrices (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Suppose D is the distance matrix of a tree. Graham and Pollack showed that the determinant of D satisfies an identity that depends only on surprisingly little information of the given tree. I will explain how this identity generalizes to a combinatorial expression for the determinant of any principal submatrix of D. This new identity involves counts of spanning forests and is proved by use of potential-theoretic concepts on graphs. This generalizes further to a determinant identity for effective resistance matrices on an arbitrary finite graph. I will mention a connection to the ultra-log-concave version of Mason's conjecture\, and a strengthening for the graphic case.\n\nThis is joint work with Farbod Shokrieh and Chenxi Wu. https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.11488
