Members of the public and especially young people are encouraged to attend "Aiming for New Heights," a celebration of the Lexington Congress on Racial Equality (CORE), the group of black and white individuals largely responsible for Kentucky’s civil rights movement.
The Kentucky Archaeological Society will host a screening of "Davis Bottom: Rare History, Valuable Lives" at Farish Theater at the Lexington Public Library. In addition to screening the hour-long documentary, viewers will be able to meet some of the sponsors and the program producer. After the documentary, attendees will be able to participate in a discussion about the critical role primary documents played in telling the neighborhood's story.

Title: Smoothness of isometries between subRiemannian manifolds
Abstract: In a joint work with Enrico Le Donne (Jyvaskyla, Finland), we show that the group of isometries (i.e., distance-preserving homeomorphisms) of an equiregular subRiemannian manifold is a finite-dimensional Lie group of smooth transformations. The proof is based on a new PDE argument, in the spirit of harmonic coordinates, establishing that in an arbitrary subRiemannian manifold there exists an open dense subset where all isometries are smooth.
Title: Higher-order analogues of the exterior derivative complex
Abstract: I will discuss some earlier joint work with E. M. Stein concerning div-curl type inequalities for the exterior derivative operator and its adjoint in Euclidean space R^n. I will then present various higher-order generalizations of the notion of exterior derivative, and discuss some recent div-curl type estimates for such operators. Part of this work is joint with A. Raich.
