Also supported in part by the SeAH corporation, the U-M Arts Initiative, the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the Nam Center for Korean Studies, and the Office of the President.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nInternationally celebrated as one of the greatest bel canto sopranos of her generation, SUMI JO has captivated audiences for four decades with a voice renowned for its radiant beauty, dazzling agility and expressive artistry. Since her professional debut in Italy in 1986, she has appeared at the world\u2019s leading opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, Teatro alla Scala and the Royal Ballet & Opera, Covent Garden, as well as major concert halls across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Her repertoire encompasses the great coloratura roles of Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini, while her recital programmes reflect her wide-ranging musical curiosity. \n\nJo\u2019s exceptional artistry has earned numerous international honours, including the Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording (1993), the Republic of Korea\u2019s Gold Order of Cultural Merit (2008), Italy\u2019s Order of Merit, Commendatore (2011), and Cavaliere dell\u2019Ordine della Stella d\u2019Italia, awarded for her contribution to promoting Italian culture worldwide. In 2025 she was appointed to France\u2019s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, recognising her outstanding contribution to international cultural exchange, and in 2026 she was awarded the Maria Callas International Prize (Premio Internazionale Maria Callas), recognising her exceptional lifetime contribution to opera, classical music, and the preservation of Maria Callas's artistic legacy. \n\nA passionate advocate for Korean art song, Jo serves as Artistic Director of \u201cK-Gagok Superstar\u201d, an initiative launched in 2024 to mentor young artists and introduce Korea\u2019s rich vocal repertoire to international audiences. In the same year she founded the Sumi Jo International Singing Competition, held biennially near Paris, providing an important platform for emerging singers from around the world. \n\nThe 2025\/26 season marked the fortieth anniversary of Jo\u2019s professional debut. She celebrated the milestone with her worldwide Bel Canto & Beyond concert tour and the release of *Continuum*, a cross-genre recording made at London\u2019s AIR Studios that highlights collaborations with a new generation of artists. Her discography comprises more than fifty solo albums for Erato, Deutsche Grammophon and Warner Classics, many achieving multi-million sales and establishing enduring benchmarks in vocal performance. \n\nBeyond the stage, Jo is a United Nations cultural and peace ambassador, using music to promote dialogue, understanding and humanitarian values. Through her artistry, mentorship and cultural leadership, she continues to inspire audiences worldwide while serving as an international ambassador for music and artistic excellence.

At the same time, it is governed by continuous dynamics, typically expressed as a nonlinear system of polynomial ODEs. These two descriptions encode the same system but have fundamentally different mathematical structures. This mathematical tension raises the question: how does the discrete structure of a biochemical network govern its continuous dynamics? In this talk, I will explore this question through several examples at the intersection of graph theory, dynamical systems, and applied algebraic geometry. In particular, I will focus on singular limits in which reaction-rate parameters tend to infinity. These limits motivate a graph operation that resembles an edge contraction, and I will examine their effects on graph invariants expressed as rational functions of the model parameters. I will then extend this construction to structural identifiability and discuss how model reduction alters the geometry of parameter space. Finally, I will turn to a stochastic interpretation of this graph-theoretic framework and describe how asymmetry in the spectral decomposition of a finite-state continuous-time Markov process gives rise to a signature of departure from thermodynamic equilibrium, with unexpectedly nonmonotone behavior even on the simplest networks. I will conclude with a discussion of broader future directions focused on understanding how network operations may affect qualitative dynamical properties of the system. Together, these examples illustrate how biologically inspired networks generate subtle structural questions and new mathematics at the interface of discrete and continuous systems.\n\nContact: Zhiyan Ding", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148875-21905037@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148875", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"1084", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Applied Mathematics","Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics (AIM) Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4882", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21905037 } , "152470-21913791": { "datetime_modified":"20260919T163537", "datetime_start":"20260925T150000", "datetime_end":"20260925T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-25", "date_end":"2026-09-25", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Derived categories in algebraic geometry", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Derived categories in algebraic geometry: Saket Shah", "event_subtitle":"Saket Shah", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Derived categories have found interest in algebraic geometry for two reasons: 1) as a tool for cohomological calculations and derived functors, and 2) as an interesting invariant in its own right.

We demonstrate that cosmic birefringence and the baryon asymmetry can be simultaneously explained by the rotation of an axion in field space. In this axiogenesis framework, the axion rotation generates the baryon asymmetry through electroweak sphalerons, while such a rotation can arise in the early universe from explicit U(1) symmetry breaking expected from quantum gravity. The minimal models predict the correct sign of \u03b2 based on the observed baryon asymmetry, as well as a period of matter and kination domination ending around a temperature of 3-50 MeV that makes the models falsifiable through future astrophysical probes and can lead to unique gravitational-wave signatures.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150863-21910327@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150863", "building_id":"1000208", "building_name":"Randall Laboratory", "campus_maps_id":"133", "room":"4404", "location_name":"Randall Laboratory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Lecture","Talk","Science","Physics","High Energy Theory Seminar"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics", "group_id":"4286", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"HET Seminars", "group_id":"3806", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Seminars", "group_id":"4311", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics High Energy Theory Seminars", "group_id":"4313", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21910327 } , "148332-21903934": { "datetime_modified":"20260903T132805", "datetime_start":"20260925T150000", "datetime_end":"20260925T163000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-25", "date_end":"2026-09-25", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Incorporations: Capitalism and Collective Life with Associate Professor Matthew Hull", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Incorporations: Capitalism and Collective Life with Associate Professor Matthew Hull: U-M Anthropology 2026 Roy A.
