SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drug Discovery Seminar: \"Discovery of selective Orexin-2 antagonists for the treatment of Primary Insomnia\"
DESCRIPTION:Orexins (OX)\, also known as hypocretins\, are the common names given to a pair of excitatory neuropeptides called OX-A and OX-B (also termed hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2) derived from the common precursor prepro-OX that are exclusively produced by hypothalamic neurons.  OX-producing neurons project widely to key areas of the brain and are predominantly involved in the control of wakefulness and also in the regulation of food intake\, reward\, addictive behaviors and stress.  The OX neuropeptides mediate their effect by stimulating two distinct G-protein coupled receptors\, orexin-1 (OX1R) and orexin-2 (OX2R) that are co-located or selectively located in specific brain areas suggesting differentiated roles.  As such\, orexin receptor antagonists have been pursued by numerous laboratories as potential sleep promoting agents and several groups have demonstrated that blockade of the orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors by dual OR1R/OR2R antagonists promotes sleep both in rats and in humans.  Our research efforts have focused on the discovery of selective OR2R antagonists\, selective OR1R antagonists\, and the characterization of the sleep promoting effects of selective blockade of either the orexin-2 receptor or the orexin-1 receptor.  Pre-clinical studies have shown that selective orexin-2 receptor antagonists are effective sleep promoting agents\, indicating that selective antagonism of the orexin-2 receptor is sufficient to promote sleep.  Additional studies have shown that an orexin-1 receptor antagonist\, when dosed alone\, has no significant effect on sleep parameters in rat and in fact can attenuate the sleep promoting effects of a selective orexin-2 antagonist when dosed together with an orexin-2 antagonist.  These data led us to develop selective orexin-2 receptor antagonists as sleep promoting agents.  Towards that end\, we now present the medicinal chemistry efforts and the pre-clinical characterization of a series of novel selective orexin-2 receptor antagonists that led to the discovery of JNJ-42847922 along with human pharmacokinetic data and safety data from Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

DESCRIPTION:The Bonderman Fellowship offers graduating LSA seniors $20\,000 to travel the world. They must travel to 6 countries in 2 regions over the course of 8 months and are expected to immerse themselves in independent and enriching explorations. Bonderman Fellows engage with cultures\, people\, and areas of the world with which they are not familiar\, providing them the opportunity to develop entirely new perspectives.\n\nUM is one of only two schools—along with the University of Washington—to offer the Bonderman award. David Bonderman traveled internationally as a Sheldon Fellow after graduating from Harvard Law School in the 1960s\, and that experience shaped the rest of his life. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and\, because this is meant to be an individual experience\, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university\, conduct formal research\, or travel with a guest or organized group.\n\nPizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.\n\nThe Bonderman info sessions in the CGIS office are back-to-back sessions without additional time for questions after the allotted 30 minutes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Trans-imperial History and the North-South Divide
DESCRIPTION:Through the lens of Ottoman history\, I will argue for the necessity of understanding history across imperial (and national) boundaries in order to dislodge the firmly entrenched conceptual North-South divide. It is crucial that we understand how the all-but-accepted assumptions of a standard North-South relations (ruler/ruled\, colonizer/colonized\, South-to-North migration. etc) grew out of a specific historical moment during the age of High Imperialism and was later emphasized through the telling of history from a European imperial perspective. Exploring an alternative narrative\, would allow us to better understand how global policies (from refugee policies\, to the focus of the international criminal court) could reshaped through a dismantling of a Euro-centric historical narrative. \n    \nMostafa Minawi is an assistant professor of history at Cornell University and the director of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Initiative at Cornell University. His research explores late Ottoman historical through a trans-imperial lens. He also works on bringing awareness to plight of the 60 million displaced people across the globe\, by focusing on what North American educational institutions can do to help university-ready refugees in the Middle East and Africa.\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION:Extracellular recordings of electric potential remain a popular tool for investigations of brain activity on all scales in animals and humans\, from single cells (spikes) to systems studied with depth electrodes (LFP\, SEEG)\, subdural recordings (ECoG)\, and on the scalp (EEG). They are relatively easy to record but difficult to interpret: since electric field is long range one can observe neural activity several millimeters from its source. As a consequence\, every recording reflects activity of many cells\, populations and regions\, depending on which level we focus. One way to overcome this problem is to reconstruct the distribution of current sources (CSD) underlying the measurement.\n\nWe recently proposed a kernel-based method of CSD estimation from multiple extracellular recordings from arbitrarily placed probes (i.e. not necessarily on a grid) which we called kernel Current Source Density method (kCSD). In my presentation\, I will present the recent advances of this method\, latest software implementations\, and explain why it works. I will also show two recent developments\, skCSD (single cell kCSD) and kESI (kernel Electrophysiological Source Imaging). skCSD assumes that we know which part of the recorded signal comes from a given cell and we have access to the morphology of the cell. This could be achieved by patching a cell\, driving it externally while recording the potential on a multielectrode array\, injecting a dye\, and reconstructing the morphology. In this case we know that the sources must be located on the cell and this information can be successfully used in source estimation. In kESI we consider simultaneous recordings with subdural ECoG (strip and grid electrodes) and with depth electrodes (SEEG). Such recordings are taken on some epileptic patients prepared for surgical removal of epileptogenic zone. When MR scan of the patient head is taken and the positions of the electrodes are known as well as the brain’s shape\, the idea of kCSD can be applied to constrain the possible distribution of sources facilitating localization of the foci.\n Speaker(s): Daniel Wojcik (Nencki Institute for Experimental Biology\, Warsaw)

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sacred Objects/Diag Burial Project public opening
DESCRIPTION:Artist Mary Mattingly’s project \"Sacred Objects\" attempts to portray rituals associated with consumption and discard. This anthropology of objects considers questions about everyday life\, and how our daily rhythms are dependent on purchase\, use\, and inevitable waste. How do we understand the passage of time?  How do we interpret permanence and ephemerally what endures and for how long?  And what constitutes value?\n\nThe artist will work with students to package a group of objects collected by them into a sculptural form. The work will be buried on the Diag\, still viewable through a custom made acrylic box that serves as a crypt-like container.\n\nThe burial pays homage to the layered life of each object\, including all the beings that have participated in creating them.  It symbolically honors the land\, the individuals and the groups that were altered through the making of each object and the earth itself.  It serves to commemorate the comings and goings of students  on campus\, their vast and varied imprints\, what they cultivate\, and what they leave behind..   \n\n\"Objects Unveiled: Boxing\, Rolling\, Stretching\, and Cutting\,\" an exhibition in the Institute for the Humanities gallery will include photographs and text about the groupings of objects.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | Rehabilitating History: A Reconsideration of the Treatment of Disability in Chinese History and Its Implications Today
DESCRIPTION:Accounts of the treatment of persons with disabilities over the course of China’s long history are almost all unreservedly bleak. Without gainsaying the great challenges that persons with disabilities faced historically in China (and every other society)\, this talk contends that there are at least five important threads – in philosophy\, imperial policy\, law\, social practice\, and self-help by persons with disabilities – that suggest a more nuanced portrayal is warranted. This is important both for our understanding of the Chinese past and to address arguments\, both from within and beyond the PRC\, about the limits of what is possible in contemporary Chinese society. \n\nWilliam Alford is the Henry L. Stimson Professor of Law at Harvard University\, where he also serves as the Director of East Asian Legal Studies and the Chair of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability. \n    \nProfessor Alford has served as a consultant to the U.S. government\, the World Bank\, the Ford Foundation\, foreign governments\, law firms\, nongovernmental organizations\, and corporations\, and has been a dispute resolution panelist under the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement and the North American Free Trade Agreement. He has met with current and previous presidents of China and Taiwan\, and is one of a small number of foreign law specialists to have delivered an address at the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party. \n    \nProfessor Alford is the founding Chair of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability which provides pro bono services on issues of disability in China\, Bangladesh\, the Philippines\, Vietnam and several other nations. He served from 2005 to 2014 on the board of directors of Special Olympics International (which serves individuals with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 nations) chairing its Research and Policy Committee and serving on its Executive Committee. In 2008\, Special Olympics honored him for his work for persons with intellectual disabilities in China.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper presents a novel mechanism under which diversity affects performance even if it has no direct impact on payoffs. Diversity matters because it influences the degree of strategic uncertainty that players face. We model this by incorporating the dual process account of Theory of Mind into the standard game-theoretic framework. Whether diversity is a cost or a benefit depends on whether the primary concern is to avoid mis-coordination or to break out of an inefficient Nash equilibrium.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:I'll describe a combinatorial/geometric construction which I call the plaid model\, on account of its resemblance to the weave in a plaid shirt.  For each rational number the model produces a union of embedded polygonal surfaces in a cube. I will explain how you recover the dynamics of outer billiards on kites when you slice the model in one direction and how you recover some of Pat Hooper's Truchet tiling system when you slice the model 2 other directions.  The model is a kind of marriage of these two seemingly unrelated dynamical systems\, and has a rich structure in its own right. I'll show off the main results with plenty of color computer demos.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Special Seminar: The one-two punch: megafauna extinction\, climate change\, and biotic interactions at the macro scale
DESCRIPTION:Climate has long been recognized as a deterministic factor in shaping species ranges and assemblages\, but there is a growing appreciation for the role of ecological interactions in modulating how species respond to climate change. Given this\, it's troubling that we know so little about 1) the degree to which biotic interactions shape contemporary distribution patterns\, 2) how interactions themselves are likely to change due to climate change or extinction\, and 3) whether those interactions will help or hinder a species' ability to track its climatic niche through space and time. In this talk\, I'll discuss three case studies from the recent geologic record that shed light on the causes of climate-driven extinction\, and the impacts of extinction on plant community dynamics and distributions at the macroecological scale.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:In 2007\, a quantum theory for quasi-homogeneous polynomial singularities was developed by Fan\, Jarvis\, and Ruan\, based on ideas of Witten\, and now called FJRW theory. It should be seen as the counterpart of Gromov-Witten (GW) theory for hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces via the so-called Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau (LG/CY) correspondence.\nIn 2003\, Lee established a K-theoretic version of GW theory. However\, some aspects of GW theory\, such as mirror symmetry\, were still missing until last year. Indeed\, Givental gave in 2015 a refined version called permutation equivariant GW K-theory\, and proved some mirror symmetry statements in this new context\, e.g. for the quintic hypersurface in P^4.\nIn this talk\, I will describe a joint work with Valentin Tonita and Yongbin Ruan\, in which we define a K-theoretic version of FJRW theory and we study its permutation equivariant part. I will focus on the quintic polynomial and explain how to prove mirror symmetry and the LG/CY correspondence. Speaker(s): Jeremy Guere (Berlin)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Search for Heavy Vector-like Quarks in pp Collisions at sqrt{s}=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector
DESCRIPTION:Unlike Standard Model quarks\, vector-like quarks are non-chiral with symmetric right- and left-handed couplings. Vector-like quarks are the simplest colored fermion extra generation currently allowed by data and many new physics scenarios predict their existence. The decay of vector-like quarks to Standard Model particles\, via Yukawa interactions\, results in rich final states consisting of many hadronic and leptonic boosted objects. This seminar will summarize searches for vector-like quarks in the 1-lepton final state based on 14.7 /fb of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV recorded in 2015 and early 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of last week's talk: The relation between (standard) orthogonal polynomials and random matrix theory is\, by now\, somewhat classical. In rough terms\, we can express the partition function (and many other related quantities) of random matrix models in terms of orthogonal polynomials\, so that asymptotic questions in random matrix theory can be immediately translated to the asymptotic theory of orthogonal polynomials. A natural generalization of standard orthogonality on the real line is provided by non-Hermitian orthogonality\, where the standard bona fide inner product is replaced by orthogonality with respect to a non-Hermitian bilinear form\, typically expressed in terms of contour integrals in the complex plane. Although the direct connection to random matrix theory is lost\, the formal partition function associated to the model is meaningful to enumeration problems of graphs in compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Hence the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials is still of interest. However\, due to the analytic character of the integrands defining the orthogonality there is a lot of freedom in the choice of contour of integration for the orthogonality\, and consequently classical potential-theoretic techniques have to be suitably adapted and improved in combination with more recent Riemann-Hilbert methods. In the first part of our talk\, we will survey some old and not-so-old results on the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials\, focusing on how their asymptotics can be extracted with the aid of the S-curves. This first part is partially based on joint work with Arno Kuijlaars (KU Leuven - Belgium). But this story is not yet over! Another generalization of standard or- thogonality is provided by the multiple orthogonality\, where the conditions of orthogonality are split into two (or more) measures. This generalization is again physically meaningful: many random matrix models (and also random path models) can be described in terms of such multiple orthogonal polynomials. However\, the asymptotic analysis of such polynomials has so far been restricted to situations involving symmetries in the model. So in the second part of our talk we plan to discuss some more recent developments towards removing such symmetry constraints. This is an ongoing project with Andrei Martinez-Finkelshtein (Universidad de Almeria - Spain)\, and as such the whole picture is not yet complete. At any rate we will talk about how the S-contour business can be generalized to this situation\, and how a salad of critical measures and quadratic differentials comes to the table.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:In arithmetic topology\, one aims to build analogies between 3-manifolds and spectra of number rings. A recent contribution in this direction was made by Minhyong Kim\, by defining the arithmetic Chern-Simons functional. This provides\, in the least\, a large set of invariants for a number field. We will provide a Galois theoretic interpretation of some of these invariants\, and also compute some of them. This is joint work with H. Chung\, M. Kim\, J. Park\, and H. Yoo.\n Speaker(s): Dohyeong Kim (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Sixteenth-century Europe and North Africa witnessed parallel processes of heightened religious enthusiasm: invoking divine grace and claiming non-mediated communication with God\, visionaries\, prophets\, and saints of both societies sought a religious and political transformation of their communities.  Through an analysis of trial records of the Spanish Inquisition\, this talk examines the spiritual career of a young Morisco prophet in sixteenth-century Toledo\, Spain. It pays attention to the spiritual transformation of the boy from Christian visionary\, to Muslim saint\, and finally his promised prophethood as “God’s envoy” (enviado de Alá) The boy’s visions of heaven and hell\, and his journey to Mecca accompanied by the angel Gabriel not only shed light on the tensions between forced assimilation and the desire to preserve religious and cultural forms\, but ultimately it forced us to reexamine the boundaries of Islamic studies in the Middle Period.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Ukraine: The Next Stage of Transition
DESCRIPTION:Ukrainians overwhelmingly voted 25 years ago for freedom and independence\, to break from the tyrannical past of communism and the Soviet Union. Natalie Jaresko will review how Ukraine has become stronger or weaker since independence\, and look at efforts to rebuild society\, the economy\, institutions\, rules\, regulations\, and systems. Focusing on developments in the past two years\, during which Ukrainians have fought to retain their valuable freedom and independence\, she will look at how the horrendous war to defend territorial integrity and the values of Ukrainian people has affected the transition process. Drawing on her experience as Finance Minister\, Jaresko will explore what can be done to hasten this transition\, asking how Ukraine can cement the progress of the past while defending itself in a hybrid war and avoiding the risks of populism. She will offer suggestions for urgent steps that need to be taken to turn Ukraine's opportunity and potential into competitive realities. \n    \nNatalie A. Jaresko has enjoyed a distinguished international career in public service and private industry. As Ukraine’s Finance Minister from December 2014 to April 2016\, she served at a particularly critical moment when the post-revolutionary state was rocked by deep recession and war on part of its territory. During her tenure she led the successful negotiation of the largest IMF program in the institution’s history\, as well as a complex debt restructuring. Her government’s success in restoring macroeconomic stability enabled the creation of a broad international financial coalition to support Ukraine’s transition. She led the reduction of public spending\, cutting the deficit by more than 75% to 2.1% of GDP in 2015. She also advanced tax reform resulting in an almost 50% reduction in payroll tax\, eliminated tax privileges which favored vested interests\, implemented a transparent e-data system placing all treasury transactions online in real time\, and initiated corporate governance reform in state-owned banks. \n    \nPreviously\, she spent two decades creating a platform for private equity investment in the region\, working as co-founder and CEO of Horizon Capital\, a fund with over $600 million under management\, and as president and CEO of Western NIS Enterprise Fund. Jaresko began her career in public service in the United States\, serving in the State Department from 1989-92\, then as Economic Section Chief of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine from 1992-95. She currently serves as Trustee Board Chair for Aspen Institute Kyiv and is a member of the WEF Global Agenda Council on the Future of Financing and Capital.\n\nAbstracts reflect the views of our speakers\, which may be varied. We expect a lively discussion.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Frankel Speaker Series: \"Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet\"
DESCRIPTION:As America confronts a new\, intensely contested Supreme Court vacancy\, there is no justice who can teach us more about our current constitutional debates than Louis D. Brandeis. Brandeis waited 125 days between his nomination and his confirmation a hundred years ago on June 1\, 1916\, and his confirmation battle was the most contentious in Supreme Court history. Once he joined the Court\, Brandeis wrote some of the most influential opinions on issues we are still grappling with today\, including privacy\, free speech\, and excesses of corporate and federal power. He was also the first Jewish justice\, the leader of the American Zionist Movement\, a powerful advocate for the role of education in democracy\, and a jurist whose emphasis on facts transformed the way the Court does business.\n\nJeffrey Rosen is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Constitution Center\, the only institution in America chartered by Congress “to disseminate information about the United States Constitution on a non-partisan basis.” Rosen is also a professor at The George Washington University Law School\, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, and a contributing editor for The Atlantic. He is a highly regarded journalist whose essays and commentaries have appeared in The New York Times Magazine and The Atlantic\, on National Public Radio\, and in The New Yorker\, where he has been a staff writer. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the 10 best magazine journalists in America and a reviewer for the Los Angeles Times called him “the nation’s most widely read and influential legal commentator.” He received the 2012 Golden Pen Award from the Legal Writing Institute for his “extraordinary contribution to the cause of better legal writing.” Rosen is the author of The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries that Defined America\; The Most Democratic Branch: How the Courts Serve America\; The Naked Crowd: Reclaiming Security and Freedom in an Anxious Age\; and The Unwanted Gaze: The Destruction of Privacy in America. He is co-editor\, with Ben Wittes\, of Constitution 3.0: Freedom and Technological Change. Rosen is a graduate of Harvard College\; Oxford University\, where he was a Marshall Scholar\; and Yale Law School.\n\nSponsored by Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Ann Arbor Jewish Community Center and Ann Arbor District Library.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Performance:Patty Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Patty Griffin's songs are beautiful\, intense\, and challenging. A Maine native and a Boston coffeehouse sensation\, Patty headed south to Austin\, and her work combines Southern roots sounds and Northeastern poetry. Her elegant lyrics\, bluesy alto vocals\, and melodic guitar style aim directly at the deepest emotions of her listeners\, and top artists on the country and acoustic side—like Emmylou Harris and even Kelly Clarkson—keep close tabs on what she's up to. Emmylou says\, \"I would go anywhere\, any time\, to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs.\" Patty can rock a bit\, she can sing straight gospel (and win a Best Traditional Gospel Grammy for it)\, she can do the sparest and most minimal kind of folk singer-songwriter performance. But what really distinguishes Patty Griffin is a body of deeply poetic songs\, personal in unexpected ways\, that can stand with the output of anyone else in the business. Patty's latest is called \"Servant of Love\,\" and it's rooted in the mysteries of the natural world\, the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman\, and human relationships to nature\, society\, and time. As the album travels through different musical terrains—folk and blues\, rock and jazz\, ancient sounds and modern—a spare\, organic quality persists. It's profound stuff\, from a songwriter who has the chops to pull it off. Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Joan Shelley\, who was recently featured on NPR's \"Fresh Air\" and has been compared to Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan\, opens the show.
