SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series on Social Connection: Chris Dunkel Schetter
DESCRIPTION:Chris Dunkel Schetter\nUCLA\, RCGD\n\nFeb. 23\, 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:Lecture / Discussion:The ‘First Proof’ Experiment
DESCRIPTION:During the first part of this talk\, we will provide some background on how modern generative AI chatbot systems work\, focusing on the setting of answering math questions. We then focus on the current state of “AI and math.”  While it is clear that AI systems are at least helpful assistants for some parts of research mathematics\, their ability to answer research-level math questions without an expert in the loop is less clear.  To assess this\, we are running a community experiment called “First Proof”\, where we have shared a set of ten math questions which have arisen naturally in the research process of the authors but which had not appeared publicly until February 7\, 2026.   Answers to the questions are known to the authors of the questions\, but will remain encrypted for one week\, while the experiment is running.  We will discuss the set-up and initial outcomes from the experiment\, and finally discuss next steps for further assessments.\n\nAbout the speaker: Rachel Ward is a professor of mathematics and holds a distinguished professorship in Data Science at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at UT Austin.  From 2023-2025\, she was on leave as Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research.  From 2017-2018 she was a visiting Researcher at Facebook AI Research.  Her research interests include optimization\, randomized numerical linear algebra\, theoretical machine learning\, and AI + Math.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Furious Harvests
DESCRIPTION:A poetry reading by Alex Averbuch from his new collection \"Furious Harvests\" (Harvard UP\, trans. from Ukrainian by Oksana Maksymchuk and Max Rosochinsky)\, in conversation with Benjamin Paloff. \"Furious Harvests\" brings readers to Averbuch’s homeland in eastern Ukraine and weaves voices from past and present wars\, tracing uprooted lives shaped by capture\, deportation\, and violence\, alongside the lingering presence of people and objects left behind in occupied territories. Drawing on family archives and mementos\, the poems assemble testimonies to the region’s complex histories\, WWII forced labor\, and the Holocaust. In a bilingual edition that mixes dialects\, registers\, and voices\, poetry speaks in rage and longing\, pressing toward an uneasy reconciliation of self and other.\n\nBranch 50 and the UM Ukrainian Students Club will follow the program with a candlelight vigil leaving the Michigan League at 5:45 pm for the U-M Diag for a moment of remembrance\, followed by a brief procession to Burton Tower\, where the Ukrainian National Anthem will be played on the carillon.\n\n5:45–6:00 pm Candlelight Vigil\, U-M Diag\n6:00–6:15 pm Procession to Burton Tower Carillon

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Finiteness of heights in isogeny classes of motives
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Using integral $p$-adic Hodge theory\, Kato and Koshikawa define a generalization of the Faltings height of an abelian variety to motives defined over a number field. Assuming the adelic Mumford-Tate conjecture\, we prove a finiteness property for heights in the isogeny class of a motive\, where the isogenous motives are not required to be defined over the same number field. This expands on a result of Kisin and Mocz for the Faltings height in isogeny classes of abelian varieties.
