SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: The Generic Vanishing Theorem
DESCRIPTION:The generic vanishing theorem says that the cohomology of a generic topologically trivial line bundle vanishes in all degrees less than the Albanese dimension of the variety. It is a very useful tool in the study of irregular varieties and abelian varieties. In this talk\, we will introduce this theorem and its applications.

SUMMARY:Meeting:SynSem
DESCRIPTION:The syntax-semantics group provides a forum within which Linguistics students and faculty at UM\, and from neighboring universities (thus far including EMU\, MSU\, Oakland University\, Wayne State and UM-Flint) can informally present or just discuss and share their ongoing research in these domains. The group is frequently used by students to practice conference presentations and receive constructive feedback from familiar faces.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics hosts weekly research workshops\, where graduate students present their research and receive feedback. These workshops are structured to improve research and provide graduate students with an opportunity to gain the professional skills necessary for an academic career.\n\nIn addition to our weekly workshops\, IWAP invites faculty from other universities to present their cutting-edge research. IWAP has a tradition of inviting and hosting many high-profile researchers from the nation’s top universities\, thereby both broadening the interdisciplinary appeal of the workshop and introducing our students to the newest areas and methodologies of research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Reinhard Boehler\, Oak Ridge National Lab
DESCRIPTION:Over 50 years ago\, Kennedy and Higgins argued that with the lack of knowledge of the adiabatic gradient in the Earth and the slope of the melting curve of iron\, the outer core could be solid and the inner core liquid. Intense experimental and theoretical activities in this field\, however\, have not fully solved this problem but have rather resulted in large discrepancies. I will review some of my own work related to both the temperature profile in the Earth and the melting curve of iron and will describe the experimental difficulties for measuring high-pressure/ high-temperature phase diagrams and thermal properties of the relevant materials.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CSAS Summer in South Asia Symposium | 2024 Summer in South Asia Fellows
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/nyg13\n\nBeginning in 2006\, and thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor\, the Summer in South Asia Fellowship (SiSA) has provided more than 100 students with funding to volunteer and/or conduct a project in India over the summer months. The program is designed to be student-centered.\n   \n   SiSA Fellows have focused on a wide variety of topics related to their academic degrees and/or areas of personal interest. This fellowship has provided students with opportunities ranging from building solar panels with community members in a rural area\, to working on a Bollywood movie set. Participating in this fellowship provides students with invaluable international experiences that are transformative and leave a lasting personal\, academic\, and professional impact on their lives.\n   \n   Please join us as this year's SiSA fellows as they discuss their summers in India and take us through their varied experiences.\n\nLearn more about SiSA at https://ii.umich.edu/csas/undergraduate-students/summer-in-south-asia-fellowships.html

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR Equidistribution of polynomially bounded o-minimal trajectories on homogeneous spaces
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss my joint work with Michael Bersudsky and Hao Xing extending Ratner’s theorem on equidistribution of individual orbits of unipotent flows on finite volume homogeneous spaces of Lie groups to trajectories of non-contracting curves definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure.\nTo be precise\, let φ : [0\, ∞) → SL(n\, R) be a continuous map whose coordinate functions are definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure\; for example\, rational functions. Suppose that φ is non-contracting: \n\n∀ linearly independent v1\,...\,vk ∈ R^n\, φ(t) (v1∧···∧vk)̸→0 as t→∞.\n\nThen\, there exists a unique smallest subgroup H_φ of SL(n\, R) generated by unipotent one-parameter subgroups such that \nφ(t) H_φ → g_0 H_φ in SL(n\, R)/H_φ as t→∞ for some g_0 ∈SL(n\,R). \n\nFor any Lie subgroup G of SL(n\,R) such that φ([0\,∞)) ⊂ G\, we have H_φ ⊂G. For any lattice Γ in G and x∈G/Γ\, the trajectory { φ(t)x:t≥0} gets equidistributed with respect to the measure g_0.μ_F_x\, where H_φ x = Fx for a closed connected subgroup F of G and μ_F_x is the unique F-invariant probability measure on Fx.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:This event will be hybrid held in East Hall 4448 & Zoom.\n\nTITLE\nCategories and gradience in intonation: Empirical investigations in sound and meaning\n\nABSTRACT\nDifferences in intonation among languages and dialects are readily noticed but less easily described. What is the ‘shape’ of phrasal pitch contours\, analyzed in terms of their component phonological features or in acoustic F0 measurements? How does intonation function to mark the structure of phrases and larger discourse units\, or distinctions in semantic or pragmatic meaning? The goal of a linguistic theory of intonation is to establish a framework in which the form and functions of intonation can be analyzed and compared across languages and speakers. This is a surprisingly difficult task. Analyzing the function of intonational expressions calls for preliminary decisions about segmentation\, measurement and encoding– which interval(s) of a continuous pitch signal are associated with a particular meaning or structure\, which aspects of the dynamic F0 signal encode that function\, and what are the features of encoding? Even for English\, arguably one of the most studied intonation systems\, there is ongoing debate over these very questions\, resulting in a knowledge bottleneck that stymies scientific progress on intonation and its communicative function.\nIn this talk I report on my recent work addressing this central challenge for American English: What are the characteristics of phrasal pitch patterns that are reliably perceived and produced as distinct and interpreted differently\, by speakers of the language?  I discuss findings from parallel streams of research in my lab investigating intonational form and its pragmatic function. Part I (work with Jeremy Steffman) relates a series of studies that examine intonational form through imitations 16  intonational “tunes” of English\, under varying task conditions that tap memory representations of model tunes presented auditorily. Analyses of dynamic F0 patterns from five experiments converge on finding a robust\, primary distinction between high-rising and low-falling tunes\, and smaller\, secondary F0 distinctions within both classes. Part II (work with Thomas Sostarics) focuses on the pragmatic function of tunes\, presenting findings from one experiment testing asking/telling interpretations for stimuli from a two-dimensional Rising-Falling continuum\, and another examining the facilitation of scalar inference as a function of tune shape (Falling\, Rise-Fall-Rise\, with varying pitch accents). Findings from both experiments point again to a primary dichotomy between high-rising and low-falling tunes\, with secondary distinctions in meaning corresponding to F0 shape variation within the two primary tune classes. Implications of these joint findings are discussed for a theory of categorical and gradient associations of intonational form and function.
