SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gendered Spheres of Learning and Household Decision-Making over Fertility
DESCRIPTION:While men and women make joint decisions about fertility\, women give birth and are more likely to learn about a significant cost of childbearing—maternal health risk. Within couples in Zambia\, men have systematically lower awareness of maternal risk factors and higher desire for children than their wives. We develop a model in which information asymmetries between partners over maternal health risk can persist in equilibrium as the result of strategic incentives and can generate disagreement over fertility that cannot be resolved with transfers. To study the effect of communication barriers on fertility\, we design an experiment that varies whether the husband or the wife receives information about maternal health risk. One year after the intervention\, men told about such risk exhibit significant gains in knowledge\, report lower demand for children\, and communicate this information to their wives\, who also update their beliefs. Pregnancy falls significantly\, while transfers remain unchanged relative to the control group. Meanwhile\, when women are told about risk\, they update their beliefs\, but are unable to transmit the information to their husbands\, who do not change their demand for children. While pregnancy also falls among these couples\, the decline is accompanied by a significant reduction in transfers and support to the wife. When childbearing costs\, particularly those borne by one party\, cannot be easily communicated within the household\, targeting information can help overcome asymmetries and improve household decision-making.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: The various polyhedral realizations of g-vector fans
DESCRIPTION:Last week we introduced cluster algebra with principal coefficients\, and F-polynomials. We will pick up from the definition of g-vectors\, and talk about several different works on how to construct g-vector fans. In Jahn-Löwe-Stump\, the authors constructed the g-vector fan by common refinement of normal fans of Newton polytopes of F-polynomials. In Holhweg-Lange-Thomas\, they constructed the generalized associahedron (whose normal fan is the g-vector fan) by deleting inequalities of certain facets. In Bazier-Matte et al.\, the authors constructed the generalized associahedron by extending the construction of the kinematic associahedra in ABHY to all simply laced Dynkin quivers. In this talk\, we will try to give a brief survey of each construction\, illustrating them with a type A example.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: Intertwining Operators and the R-group of Real Reductive Groups
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I’ll give an introduction to intertwining operators for real reductive groups. After setting up principal series representations\, I’ll construct the standard intertwining operator attached to the nontrivial Weyl element and explain its normalization and meromorphic properties. I’ll then describe how the finite R-group controls the commuting algebra and\, in particular\, determines the number of irreducible constituents at reducible parameters. The focus will be the concrete case of SL(2\,R) where the formulas can be computed explicitly and the appearance of the R-group is especially transparent. Time permitting\, I’ll indicate extensions to higher rank and briefly discuss how these operators inform the shape of local functional equations.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: How Do I Become a Teacher?  NYU Teacher Residency Open Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:The NYU Teacher Residency supports those interested in education but who are unsure of how to go about it.  Our Open Office Hours are meant to be a flexible space where people can connect with the NYU Teacher Residency to discuss anything relevant about teaching\, particularly for those who are carving out non-traditional pathways. We will hold this time open but folks can also book 1:1 time separately to discuss things in a smaller setting if that is preferable.  Feel free to email me directly at (matthew.giles@nyu.edu) if you'd prefer to find time to connect 1:1 on Zoom or over the phone.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Plasma Physics Modeling and Simulations of Electric Propulsion Over the Last Two Decades at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe first ion engines were launched into orbit in the 1960s but it was not until the 1990s that their commercial use began in the U.S.\, followed by the first NASA flight on Deep Space 1 in 1998. Hall thrusters (HTs) followed a similarly long trajectory from the lab to deep-space flight. Since the 1970s thousands of HTs have flown in near-Earth orbit\, yet it was not until NASA’s Psyche mission in 2023 that HTs were used as primary propulsion beyond lunar orbit. Two challenges contributed to this protracted path. First\, HTs are low-thrust\, high-exhaust-speed devices that achieve large ΔVs but must operate for years in space. Flight qualification in vacuum facilities can be prohibitively costly and time-consuming. Challenges in qualifying a technology by test alone are not unique to electric propulsion (EP). Certification of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile now relies on physics-based modeling and simulations (M&S) requiring large investments. The second challenge is that investment in M&S for EP has been limited. Their inherently complex physics prohibited the advancement of first-principles M&S tools to a level that could make major impact on development. Instead\, technology advancement depended largely on empirical scaling and laboratory testing. A focused effort on physics-based M&S began in the 2000’s in the EP Group of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). In this presentation I will highlight achievements made at JPL in the M&S of plasmas in EP\, and discuss their impact on development\, maturation and flight qualification of EP for NASA deep-space missions.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Ioannis (Yiangos) G. Mikellides is a Senior Research Scientist and Principal Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from The Ohio State University. In over three decades his theoretical investigations of applied plasma physics\, supported by extensive numerical simulation\, have spanned applications as diverse as high-pressure discharge chambers and hypersonic nozzles\, ablative thrusters\, magnetic nozzles in fusion propulsion\, MHD shocks\, rarefied EP plumes and astrophysical plasmas. He has developed OrCa2D and Hall2De\, two novel scientific plasma codes that have been supporting the qualification of hollow cathodes and HTs for NASA’s EP missions since he joined JPL in 2003. Hall2De has also been licensed to various institutions of government\, academia and the private sector nationwide. His theoretical work has led to notable advances in our understanding of EP plasmas such as the prediction of ion acoustic turbulence in cathode discharges and the development of the first principles of magnetic shielding in HTs. He has published more than 60 refereed articles in aerospace engineering\, applied physics\, planetary/space sciences and astrophysics journals\, and co-authored the 2023 book “Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion”. He is a Fellow of the AIAA and the recipient of multiple recognitions including the NASA Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal and the JPL Lew Allen and Edward Stone Awards.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person\, with livestream in Zoom.
