SUMMARY:Other:Critical Conversations on Generative AI and Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Critical Conversations on Generative AI and Higher Education is a monthly\, cross-campus Community of Practice (CoP) for instructors and instructional staff who are navigating the evolving role of AI in their teaching. This community offers space to explore\, question\, and learn alongside colleagues across U-M—helping educators stay grounded in their pedagogical values while adapting to new technological realities.\n\nThe phrase “critical conversations” reflects our balanced approach—rooted in critical pedagogy and intergroup dialogue—that encourages open\, evidence-based exploration of AI’s implications for higher education.\n\nThrough engagement and reflection\, participants share diverse perspectives\, embrace productive tension\, and connect questions of technology to the core values of teaching and learning. Each conversation invites inquiry and shared meaning-making to support reflective innovation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar: Subadditivity of Shifts for Monomial Ideals and Shuffle products in Lattices
DESCRIPTION:We prove that the maximal shifts in the minimal free resolution of a monomial ideal form a subadditive sequence\, settling a conjecture of Avramov\, Conca and Iyengar. To do so\, we develop explicit chain-level models for the homology of posets and lattices\, introduce an Eilenberg–Zilber–type shuffle product in the lattice setting\, and use it to derive nonvanishing criteria for lattice homology classes that yield the desired subadditivity of maximal shifts. The talk is based on joint work with K. Adiprasito\, A. Björner\, M. Margaritis\, and V. Welker (arXiv:2404.16643).\n\nThis is a hybrid talk.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series on Social Connection: Anastaskia Makhanova
DESCRIPTION:Anastasia Makhanova\nUniversity of Arkansas\nJan. 26\, 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:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Ring of Modular forms on certain unitary Shimura Varieties
DESCRIPTION:The modular forms on the quotient $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash \mathcal{H}$ can be viewed as $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-invariant holomorphic differentials on $\mathcal{H}$. Interpreting $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash \mathcal{H}$ as the moduli space of elliptic curves\, these forms can equivalently be described as global sections of the Hodge line bundle. A natural question is whether this perspective extends beyond $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$.\n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce modular forms on certain Shimura varieties and illustrate the definitions through a sequence of examples: Hilbert modular surfaces\, unitary Shimura curves\, and finally a unitary Shimura surface arising from a special family of cyclic covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$. I will explain how the geometry of this family makes the Hodge line bundle computable\, and how level structure on the Shimura variety can be interpreted concretely in this setting.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Painlevé Universality class for the maximal amplitude solution of the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with randomness
DESCRIPTION:In this work\, we establish universality results for the $N$-soliton solution of the focusing NLS equation at maximal amplitude. Specifically\, we choose the associated normalization constants so that the solution achieves its maximal peak\, which\, in the large-$N$ limit\, satisfies a Painlevé-type equation independently of the distribution of the (random) discrete eigenvalues. We identify two distinct universality classes\, determined by the structure of the discrete eigenvalues: the \textit{Painlevé--III} and \textit{Painlevé--V} rogue-wave solutions. In the Painlevé--III case\, the eigenvalues take the form $\lambda_j = v_j + i \mu_j$\, while for Painlevé--V they satisfy $\lambda_j = -\zeta \\, j + v_j + i \mu_j$\, with $0 < \zeta < 1$. In both cases\, $v_j$ and $\mu_j$ are sub-exponential random variables. Universality can then be summarized as follows: regardless of the specific realizations of the amplitudes and velocities\, provided they are sub-exponential random variables and the normalization constants are chosen to maximize the \(N\)-soliton solution\, the resulting maximal peak always corresponds to either a Painlevé--III or Painlevé--V rogue-wave profile in the large-$N$ limit.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Artist's Reception and Talk \n-- \n\nCurrently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n\n-- \nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.
