Sunday, May 3 at 4:00 PM in the Niles Gallery Austin Norrid will be presenting a recital of banned and suppressed works, including selections from Canciones españolas antiguas by Federico García Lorca as well as pieces by Milhaud and Gerswhin with guitarist Jeremy Bass, bailadora María Daniela Ruíz, and orator Dra. Noemí Lugo.
I will use the two nearest starburst galaxies: M82 and NGC 253 as examples to discuss the origin and fate of galaxy-scale molecular outflows driven by star formation. Outflows of interstellar gas driven by stellar feedback should be a key element in the interaction between galaxy disks and the huge reservoirs of gas and dust in the circumgalactic medium. They should carry metals and dust out of galaxy disks and may deplete future fuel for star formation. The most mysterious but potentially most massive (at least near the disk) component of these outflows are molecular winds. I will present results from three recent studies of nearby starburst galaxies. In NGC 253, I will show ALMA's view of the base of a molecular superwind. In M82, I will show how we track the fate of gas after it is launched by comparing it to spatially resolved atomic gas, dust, and measurements of gas kinematics. I will also mention efforts to understand whether star formation can drive the truly monstrous molecular outflows seen in the local ULIRG population.
Title: Stability of Ground States for cubic NLS in 1-D
Abstract: In this talk, we discuss orbital stability of ground state (equilibrium) solutions for a 1D cubic nonlinear focussing Schrödinger equation under perturbations of H1(R) initial data for cNLS. Stability of equilibrium solutions is an important condition for being able to use theoretical models in physical applications. The method of proof is a generalization of Lyapunov stability theory for nite dimensional systems. We rely on global time existence of a unique H1(R) solution to the cNLS (Ginibre-Velo, 1977).
Rough cut viewing about a half hour in length of a UK-student-created documentary film, followed by a panel discussion. Viewing and discussion are open to the public, so bring a friend or two!
TITLE: The Oort conjecture and its generalizations.
ABSTRACT: A common mathematical problem is to be given a mathematical object in
characteristic p, and to ask whether it is the reduction, in some
sense, of an analogous structure in characteristic zero. If so, the
structure in characteristic zero is called a "lift" of the structure
in characteristic p.
We remark that the motivation for studying the local lifting problem comes from understanding lifts of branched covers of curves from characteristic p to characteristic zero.
This lecture will introduce attendees to the Judeo-Persian musical tradition through recorded music, performed examples, and musical analysis. Dr. Dardashti's grandfather, Younes Dardashti, was one of the most famous singers of Persian classical music; this family history and her own artistic work (www.galeetdardashti.com) are central to this presentation.
Sponsors: Year of The Middle East, Jewish Studies, The Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology of the School of Music, College of Fine Arts
Come to the last Sigma Tau Delta/Students of English Association event of the year. It will be a bit of business and a lot of celebration. We will say goodbye and thank our outgoing president, Katie Cross, and other graduating officers, and choose next year's officers.
Even if you've never come to anything all year, we'd love to see you.
If you are considering applying to law school, attend this workshop and find out what you should be doing this summer to prepare.
