We are used to thinking of forces in terms of Newton\u2019s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, there are some systems where the forces appear to be non-reciprocal; the objects exert different forces on each other. Such an interaction is possible when the interaction is anisotropic. In this case, the force between two particles depends on their relative orientation. Anisotropic interactions are known to arise in some of the most interesting complex systems, including proteins, electrorheological (ER) fluids, and liquid crystals. Here, we study anisotropic interactions in a complex, or dusty, plasma. We use numerical models of the interactions between ions and dust to learn the form of the anisotropic interaction potential. We can then use this potential to model the dynamics of interacting dust particles without modeling the ions. We compare the results of our models to experimental data collected in laboratory experiments conducted here on earth and on the International Space Station.\r\nThis work was supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (DE-SC0024681) and National Science Foundation (PHY-2308742, PHY-2308743).\r\n\r\nAbout the Speaker: \r\nLorin Swint Matthews is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Baylor University and Associate Director of the Center for Astrophysics, Space Physics, and Engineering Research. She received her Ph.D. in Physics from Baylor University in 1998. She worked for Raytheon Aircraft Integration Systems from 1998-2000 as a multi-disciplined engineer in the Flight Sciences Department, where she worked on NASA\u2019s SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) aircraft. In 2000, she joined the faculty at Baylor University.

A well known result of Beilinson-Bernstein asserts that over the field of complex numbers flag varieties of semi-simple algebraic groups are D-affine. So far, Flag varieties are the only known examples of smooth projective D-affine varieties. Moreover, Kashiwara-Lauritzen showed that over fields of positive characteristic the grassmannian Gr(2,5) is not D-affine and the classification of D-affine flag varieties remains an open problem.\r\n\r\nIn the first part of the talk, I will briefly recall the basics of D-affine varieties. Then, I will survey both the problem of classification of D-affine varieties over fields of arbitrary characteristic and the problem of classification of D-affine flag varieties in positive characteristic. Finally, I will present my recent result: Over a field of positive characteristic the smooth even-dimensional quadric hypersurface of dimension at least four is not D-affine. This result implies that various other flag varieties fail to be D-affine and refines a previous result of A. Langer who showed that odd-dimensional quadrics are D-affine if the characteristic of the base field is sufficiently large.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143076-21892022@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143076", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"4096", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Algebraic Geometry Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4880", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21892022 } }
