- Sep 2511:15 AMAlgebra Seminar - Generalizations of Teitelbaum's lambda function to super-elliptic Mumford curvesJ. Teitelbaum expressed branch points of Mumford curves through \(p\)-adic theta functions. He used these to verify the exceptional zero conjecture. I will outline how his formulas are easily generalized to super-elliptic Mumford curves, i.e., Mumford curves that are cyclic covers of the \(p\)-adic line.
- Sep 2511:30 AMODI Coffee Break - Open to AllThe Office for Diversity and Inclusion would like to invite faculty and staff to pause and be in community with us as they are able. Many in our community are impacted by events happening on a global scale including atrocities in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, as well as natural disasters. Often those impacted find themselves working so hard to support their loved ones and communities they forget to pause to support themselves, to take a moment to reflect, mourn, or set aside time to be in community with each other. Join us for a biweekly Coffee Break in the Student Union RM 103 at the Storrs campus where you can find some time away from the office to enjoy your coffee alone or in conversation with your colleagues. A virtual option is available here: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m4c0b5c177a1e825f40652ddda2e8e887 (https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m4c0b5c177a1e825f40652ddda2e8e887)

- Sep 251:30 PMPresentation by Yarran Hominh (Bard College)Understanding Unfreedom Much political philosophy theorizes ideals of justice, freedom, equality. But our current world is in many ways not ideal. When we look around us, we see injustice, unfreedom, inequality. These phenomena do not merely seem temporary blips on our way toward achieving ideals. They seem, instead, relatively permanent features of our world. What might a political philosophy look like that began from those phenomena, from the shape of our existing world? Beginning from unfreedom, I argue, directs philosophical theorizing toward a) explanation of the forces that keep things as they are, and b) imagination of how things might be changed, through c) the exercise of collective agency. Political philosophy in this way becomes more closely connected to issues in moral psychology and to existential questions about the relation of human beings to each other and to the world.
