Speaker: Dr. Chenyan Wu (The University of Melbourne）Venue: Lecture Hall, East Building 7, Zijingang CampusAbstract: Let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of a classical group or a metaplectic group. We show an exact relation between two invariants associated to $\pi$, one called the lowest occurrence index of $\pi$ which is an invariant arising from theta lifts and the other the location of the maximal positive pole of an Eisenstein series attached to $\pi$. As an application, we use this relation to show that certain global Arthur packets cannot contain cuspidal automorphic representations.

Speaker: Chak Fu Lam, Associate Editor of AMRHost: Prof. HU QiongjingVenue: Room 723, Building A, School of Management, Zijingang CampusAbstract: Join us for a conversation with Chak Fu Lam, who will provide an overview of what he believes is the primary cause of manuscript rejection at AMR. He will also offer insights on enhancing the prospects of receiving an R&R. Following a brief and interactive presentation, Chak Fu will address any inquiries and questions you may have pertaining to publishing in AMR.Profile of the speaker: Chak Fu Lam is an Associate Professor of Management at City University of Hong Kong. His research examines employee voice behavior, including why employees speak up and how managers respond to employee voice, and what makes employee voice sustainable over time. He has published research in Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, and Personnel Psychology. In 2021, he was one of five reviewers to be awarded the title of Best Editorial Reviewer for his service to the Journal of Applied Psychology.Note: Please scan the QR code below to register.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Serge Haroche (the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics)Host: Prof. LIN Haiqing (Dean, School of Physics)Venue: Qiushi Great Hall, Zijingang CampusAbstract: In his spontaneous exchange with students and researchers at Zhejiang University, Prof. Dr. Serge Haroche will talk about how his vocation as a physics researcher came about. He will then share his fascination with the research in atomic physics and optics. After that, he will delve into the contributions of the great scientists. He will show that the history of light illustrates the essential aspects of the scientific method. Finally, he will talk about recent advances in the science of light, and the progress of instruments that use light to explore matter and the universe with ever greater precision.Registration: The number of participants is limited to 200. Please scan the QR code below to register before 18:00 on Nov. 8. If the number of applicants is beyond the capacity, the organisers will do a random screening.

Speaker: Prof. Chao Zhou (National University of Singapore)Venue: Room 203, Building 2, Haina Court, Zijingang CampusAbstract: This paper deals with the optimization problem of a class of controlled N-particle systems. We establish the regularity results, which is uniform in N , on the HJB equations corresponding to the N-particle system. The uniform regularity results are obtained by the stochastic maximum principle and the analysis on a Riccati type BSDE. Using the uniform regularity results, we show the convergence of value function and optimal control as the number N of particles tends to infinity, where the convergence rates are also given. This is based on a joint work with Huafu Liao, Alpar Meszaros and Chenchen Mou.Contact person: Prof. ZHANG Rongmao (rmzhang@zju.edu.cn）

Speaker: Prof. HUANG Qihai (University of Huddersfield)Host: Prof. HU Qiongjing (Zhejiang University)Venue: Room 723, Building A, School of Management, Zijingang CampusAbstract: Online labor platforms (OLPs) employ algorithmic management practices to manage app-workers. Drawing upon the self-determination theory, this research examines the impact of perceived algorithmic management practices (PAMP) on the service performance of ride-hailing drivers through three studies. We theorise the process by investigating the mediating roles of individual needs satisfaction (competence, autonomy, and relatedness) and work engagement, and the moderating role of online community support (OCS). We developed and validated a PAMP scale using a rigorous multistep process in the first study. In the second study, we empirically tested our conceptual model with a sample of 431 ride-hailing drivers. Our findings reveal that PAMP influences drivers’ competence, autonomy, and relatedness needs satisfaction differently. The satisfaction of these three basic needs enhances work engagement, subsequently improving service performance.Furthermore, OCS positively moderates the relationship between PAMP and drivers’ needs satisfaction. To deepen our understanding of how PAMP influences drivers’ needs satisfaction and subsequent behaviors, we conducted a qualitative investigation with 103 ride-hailing drivers. Our study provides valuable insights for future research and practice in managing app-workers in the gig economy.
