SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Asymptotic dimension of graphs of arcs and curves on infinite-type surfaces
DESCRIPTION:In analogy to the curve complex and its role in the geometry of mapping class groups of finite-type surfaces\, a number of authors have defined graphs whose vertices are arcs or curves on a given infinite-type surface S\, and on which the mapping class group Mod(S) acts by isometries.  We show that for a broad class of such graphs\, including the grand arc graph\, the omnipresent arc graph\, and all others defined comparably to Masur-Minsky\, the asymptotic dimension is infinite.  In particular\, if one could construct a graph in this class admitting a Švarc-Milnor-type action of Mod(S)\, then Mod(S) would have infinite asymptotic dimension.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Understanding the ecology of microbiome-plant interactions from genes to communities
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nAbout this seminar: The Afkhami Lab investigates the ecology of microbe-microbe and plant-microbiome interactions at scales ranging from genes to ecosystems. This talk highlights three areas central to understanding plant-microbial interactions that have been the focus of recent research efforts. Specifically\, the talk will address (1) conceptual and empirical advancements in understanding the ecological\, evolutionary\, and molecular consequences of multispecies microbial mutualisms\, (2) how microbial landscapes scale up to impact plant distributions\, and (3) how stress\, especially from anthropogenic sources\, affects the ecology of microbiomes and microbe-mediated plant responses.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 899: Probing Enhanced Stochastic Programming
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker: Jeff Linderoth is the Harvey D. Spangler Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and he served as the department's chairperson from 2016 to 2021. Prof. Linderoth holds a courtesy appointment in the Computer Sciences department and as a Discovery Fellow at the Wisconsin Institutes of Discovery. Dr. Linderoth received his Ph.D. degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998. He was previously employed in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory\, with the optimization-based financial products firm of Axioma\, and as an Assistant Professor at Lehigh University. His awards include multiple best paper awards\, an Early Career Award from the Department of Energy\, the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization Prize\, and the INFORMS Computing Society (ICS) Prize. In 2016\, he was elected to membership as an INFORMS Fellow. Dr. Linderoth was once stranded in Marseille with Jon Lee for five days.\n\nAbstract: We consider a two-stage stochastic decision problem where the decision-maker has the opportunity to obtain information about the distribution of the random variables X through a set of discrete actions that we refer to as probing.  Specifically\, probing allows the decision-maker to observe components of a random vector Y that is jointly distributed with X. We propose a three-stage optimization model for this problem\, wherein the first-stage variables select components of Y to observe\, and decisions in subsequent stages must be consistent with the obtained information.  In the case that X and Y have finite support\, Goel and Grossmann gave a mixed-integer programming formulation of this problem whose size is proportional to the square of cardinality of the sample space of the random variables.   We propose to solve the model using bounds obtained from an information-based relaxation\, combined with a branching scheme that enforces the consistency of decisions with observed information.  The branch-and-bound approach can naturally be combined with sampling in order to estimate both lower and upper bounds on the optimal solution value.  We demonstrate the scalability of our approach against the exact MIP formulation on instances of a stochastic facility location problem.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:NDEAM Keynote: Working Cripistemologically by Liza Sylvestre
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the NDEAM keynote speaker\, Liza Sylvestre\, a deaf transdisciplinary artist\, co-founder of *Crip: Cripistemology and the Arts*\, and Research Assistant Professor within the College of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign as she discusses: Working Cripistemologically. “Crip moves away from the problem-solving approach to disability in the arts and towards a creative methodology that utilizes a Crip framework as an integral part of art critical discourse and production.” \n\nSylvestre is the recipient of various residencies\, grants\, fellowships\, and awards. Her work has been exhibited in many museums and galleries worldwide\, including the John Hansard Gallery (Southampton)\, ARGOS (Brussels)\, MMK (Frankfurt)\, Museum Marta Herford (Herford\, Germany)\, MIT List Visual Arts Center (Cambridge)\, BFI (London)\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art (NYC). Sylvestre's work has been featured in various publications\, including Art in America\, Mousse Magazine\, Ocula Magazine\, Art Monthly\, SciArt Magazine\, and others. For more information about Sylvestre\, please visit: https://www.lizasylvestre.com/\n\nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided.
