SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | HEP-Astro Seminar | Flavor Dependent Jet Fragmentation and Open Science at LHCb
DESCRIPTION:One of the remaining mysteries of the Standard Model is how emergent properties of hadronic matter arise from quark and gluon degrees of freedom. For example\, there is still much to be learned about the process by which hadrons are formed from color charged quarks and gluons (hadronization). The LHCb detector offers a unique opportunity to study this process in terms of the flavor of quarks involved in the hard scattering process\, enabling measurements of the fragmentation process in heavy flavor jets with unprecedented precision. The unique features of these data motivate both a substantial effort to extract high precision measurements of heavy and light flavor jets\, as well as an effort to preserve and provide open access to these data for the physics and data science communities to explore. In this talk\, I will review recent jet fragmentation function measurements from LHCb in comparison to global measurements. I will then briefly cover the LHCb open data efforts\, culminating in the review of a publicly available dataset and analysis workflow enabling exploration of the jet fragmentation process at LHCb.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Susan Najita)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 6050.\n\nSusan Najita\, University of Michigan\n\nThis paper explores the establishment of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park in the post-annexation period\, two prominent newspaper serial publications of the saga of Pele\, the goddess of the volcano\, and her sister\, Hi‘iaka\, which reinvigorated connection to the place that would be brought under federal control.  What can the tale--a repository for the sacred tradition of hula pele and its healing traditions-- tell us today\, in this moment of eco-urgency\, about relationships between bodies\, mele (songs)\, and places?\n\nSusan Najita is an associate professor of English and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies in the Department of American Culture at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  Her first book\, Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific\, explored the ways that indigenous Pacific writers engage the traumatic history of colonization and empire.  Her current project is entitled Genealogies of Place: Colonialism\, Embodiment\, and the Making of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. \n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life. Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Estimating Demand with Recentered Instruments (joint with Kirill Borusyak and Mauricio Caceres Bravo)
DESCRIPTION:We develop a new approach to estimating flexible demand models with exogenous supply-side shocks. Our approach avoids conventional assumptions of exogenous product characteristics\, putting no restrictions on product entry\, despite using instrumental variables that incorporate characteristic variation. The proposed instruments are model-predicted responses of endogenous variables to the exogenous shocks\, recentered to avoid bias from endogenous characteristics. We illustrate the approach in a series of Monte Carlo simulations and an application to the demand for Medicare Advantage insurance plans.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Arithmetic intersections on non-split Cartan modular curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Take two CM elliptic curves over a number field\, each equipped with a level structure preserved by all endomorphisms. At which primes $p$ does there exist an isomorphism between the elliptic curves mod $p$ that preserves the level structures? This question was answered for $\Gamma_0(N)$ level structure by Gross\, Kohnen\, and Zagier in 1987. A key step in their proof is showing that an isomorphism mod $p$ determines embeddings of the (quadratic) CM orders into a common (quaternion) Eichler order. In this talk\, we will discuss what changes in the argument when we replace $\Gamma_0(N)$ with the normalizer of a non-split Cartan subgroup. This is joint work with Elie Studnia and Jan Vonk.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:ISRMT Seminar:  Many Body Asymptotics for the Toda Lattice
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Toda lattice prescribes the evolution of many particles interacting under certain Hamiltonian dynamics\; it is an archetypal example of a completely integrable system. In this talk we describe several results providing the long-time asymptotics of this system\, under random\, dense initial data. The proofs proceed by finding a way to interpret the Toda lattice as a collection of \"quasi-particles\" that behave similarly to solitons\, and providing a framework to study how these quasi-particles asymptotically evolve in time. The arguments use ideas from random matrix theory\, particularly the analysis localization phenomena for eigenvectors of random tridiagonal matrices.\n\n*To request access to the Zoom room\, please contact Nathan Hayford at nhayford [ at ] umich.edu*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Pharmacist Leadership for Population Health Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Anand Parekh\, Chief Health Policy Officer\, School of Public Health and Senior Advisor\, Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation\, for this timely lecture on how health professionals can address social determinants of health. Dr. Parekh will focus on America’s suboptimal health outcomes\, the need for greater investment in public health\, primary care\, and prevention\, and how interprofessional and cross-sector collaboration will be critical to achieving a healthier nation.\n\nReception to follow. Please RSVP.\n\nMcKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\nDisparities in health and healthcare have been are prevalent\, particularly in underserved or minority communities\, as a result of a variety of factors such as birthplace\, housing\, education\, race\, age\, sexual identity and other nonmedical factors. These factors are commonly referred to as the social determinants of health (SDOH). As a result of SDOH\, quality healthcare and treatment can be difficult to access for many who don’t fall into the dominant group and must confront barriers to receive treatment.\n\nExamples of barriers to adequate healthcare treatment include poverty\, lack of access to quality education or positive social activities\, and unhealthy environmental factors. These factors must be addressed in order to achieve positive health outcomes and equity in access to healthcare and treatment for all. To help illuminate and educate around issues involving social determinants of health\, the College of Pharmacy and the McKesson Foundation have teamed up to launch the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series.\n\nFor the past two years the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan in partnership with the McKesson Foundation has hosted a speaker series based on the topic of health equity. The McKesson Foundation is dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all with the mission to removing barriers to quality healthcare across the country\, especially for vulnerable and underserved communities. The College of Pharmacy also has a longstanding history of fighting to address addressing disparities in healthcare and is a leader in the fight for equitable healthcare for all individuals. This alignment in values and mission of both organizations led to the provision awarding of a grant to resulted in the College of Pharmacy being awarded a grant in 2022 to launch what we now call the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\, with the goal of educating the UM community and inspiring those around us to find solutions that address inequities in healthcare and beyond.\n\nAbout our Funder\, the McKesson Foundation\nThe McKesson Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations. It focuses on initiatives that address healthcare disparities\, promote patient-centered care\, and support cancer care and survivorship. Through grants\, partnerships\, and employee-driven giving programs\, the foundation aims to foster innovative solutions that enhance community health and well-being.
