SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Strengthening Your Professional Network (Growing Your Community) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:You may have heard people encourage you to “network.” Though\, what does it mean to network\, and how do you build your professional community? In this workshop\, we will discuss how to tap into networks you already have\, explore introducing yourself professionally\, and strategize ways to create long lasting authentic connections.\n\n \n\nYou should attend this session if you are:\n\nAn undergraduate U-M LSA student\n\nInterested in learning more about networking and exploring networking strategies\n\nInterested in maintaining connections made with professionals\n\n \n\nWhat you’ll gain by attending:\n\nLearn the overarching purpose and goals of networking\n\nDiscuss your concerns around networking and strategize how to address them\n\nIdentify what networks you already have access to and who you want to connect with\n\nBrainstorm effective introductory messages to grow your network\n\n \n\nRSVP now to reserve your spot for this hybrid workshop! The link to join this hybrid workshop will be emailed to you after you RSVP.\n\nThe LSA Opportunity Hub aims to deliver inclusive and accessible experiences for all students. This hybrid event allows students to join in-person at Lorch Hall room 142 or virtually via Zoom. This event is on the first floor of a wheelchair-accessible building\, including wheelchair-accessible restrooms on the first floor\, places to sit or stand during the event\, and accessible parking options nearby on Tappan Ave and the Hill St parking garage. Ramps and a powered door are located at the East entrance (towards the School of Education). We will be using microphones for all speakers and participant questions and automated closed captions (although imperfect) will be generated through google slides which also include alt text for screen readers. To request additional accommodations\, please contact LSA Hub Events at lsa.hubevents@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: The Fundamental Theorem of Finite Semidistributive Lattices
DESCRIPTION:Last time\, we saw that the lattice of torsion classes is completely semidistributive. Motivated in part by this fact\, Reading–Speyer–Thomas proved a fundamental theorem of finite semidistributive lattices. We'll give the necessary definitions to state the theorem\, give some examples\, and explain the connection to torsion classes. Time permitting\, we will also describe canonical join representations and the canonical join complex of a finite semidistributive lattice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: Counting points on hyperelliptic curves over finite fields
DESCRIPTION:I will explain elementary methods for computing the zeta function of an arithmetic scheme over a finite field\, focusing on the case of hyperelliptic curves. It turns out that the number of points on such curves over a finite field can be packaged into traces of certain explicit matrices (called Hasse-Witt matrices) constructed from some coefficients of suitable powers of the defining polynomial. A highlight of this approach is that it is entirely elementary\, in the sense that no cohomology is involved. I will also discuss efficient algorithms for computation and their complexity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Understanding Sorting in Modern Housing Markets
DESCRIPTION:This paper explores how the changing role of sorting by race in driving neighborhood change. Building on prior research focused on localized incumbent responses to localized changes in the racial composition of nearby neighbors\, we explore how such micro-level sorting behavior may inform understanding of broader neighborhood transitions and heterogeneity across cities. Evidence suggests that local context\,  density\, and housing-market conditions generate important heterogeneity across place.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:An introduction to braid groups
DESCRIPTION:We'll define (pure) braid groups in 3 different ways: as the fundamental group of configuration spaces\, as mapping class groups of the punctured disk\, and algebraically via generators and relations. To do this we'll develop some background on configuration spaces\, including two \"forgetful\" maps. We'll also define the integral Burau representation\, a map which relates braid groups\, mapping class groups\, and symplectic groups\, and whose properties remain an active area of research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Grad Show and Tell Seminar
DESCRIPTION:In Pointless Topology - known by serious people as Pointfree Topology - a change of perspective to regular point-set topology is done\, shifting the focus from the points in the space to its collection of open sets.\n\nIn the first part of the talk\, we will motivate this new point of view\, describe what it means to \"focus on open sets\" and investigate in what situations we are able to recover points back from the information in the collection of open sets.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, we will see a counterexample by johnstone\, originally published in a paper that this talk is named after. In the process\, we will introduce Scott (the topology)\, and learn how to tell a sober topology apart from one that's seeing double!
