SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Relativistic Initial Data Sets with Prescribed Asymptotics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In General Relativity\, Einstein's equation may be viewed as a second-order system of nonlinear PDE's for the Lorentzian metric on (n+1)-dimensional spacetime that admits an initial value formulation. The required initial data is comprised of a (usually complete) n-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a symmetric (0\,2)-tensor\, respectively representing a spatially global \"instant in time\" and the \"initial velocity\" of the metric. The Gauss-Codazzi equations imply that not every such pair is admissible\, however\, and a working initial data set must satisfy certain nonlinear elliptic PDE’s dubbed the constraint equations. In this talk\, I will discuss recent work with several collaborators on the construction of working asymptotically flat initial data sets in which various asymptotic features of physical interest can be prescribed.\n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 4
DESCRIPTION:In the last four decades the popularity of Balkan \"Gypsy\" music has exploded\, becoming a staple at world music festivals and dance clubs in the United States and Western Europe. At the same time\, thousands of Balkan Roma have emigrated westward due to deteriorating living conditions\, racist threats and increased violence. In this heightened atmosphere of xenophobia\, entrenched stereotypes have arisen amidst deportations and harassment. Roma\, as Europe’s largest minority and one of its quintessential “historic others\,” face the paradox that they are revered for their music yet reviled as people. This illustrated lecture will explore the challenges Balkan Roma face as well as their resilience in transnational sites.\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, please register here: https://myumi.ch/y14ew

SUMMARY:Other:Coffee Chat
DESCRIPTION:Join the U-M Student Sustainability Coalition for a casual coffee chat at Matthaei Botanical Gardens as part of the EAT! Exhibit. From 3–4:30 p.m. on January 23\, students will host an open conversation exploring themes of food access and sovereignty\, with a focus on local communities and a shared campus experience.\n\nThe group will also share how and why they roast coffee as a way to bring people together\, using food and drink as tools for connection\, dialogue\, and community building.  Free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | CFT Data\, QFT RG Flows\, and the Fuzzy Sphere
DESCRIPTION:The CFT data -- scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients -- of high dimension operators contains valuable information about the theory and its deformations\, but is traditionally unobtainable outside of integrable models. We will review how the fuzzy sphere regulator allows numeric access to much of this data in the 3d Ising model\, and show how to exploit the emergent conformal generators of the theory to significantly improve it.  We discuss some of the applications of this data\, including tests of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis and the spectrum of masses of the QFTs in the vicinity of the critical point.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Hyperkahler varieties and compactified \"Jacobian\" fibrations
DESCRIPTION:Hyperkahler varieties\, also known as holomorphically symplectic manifolds\, are the algebraic versions of symplectic manifolds\, and can be thought of as higher-dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces. One of the more interesting ways they arise are from the total spaces of some degeneration of abelian varieties. I'll explain some of these notions and some examples where these arise.
