University of British Columbia
Viral infections are social processes. Viral replication requires shared gene products that can be used by multiple viral genomes within the same cell, and hence act as public goods. This gives rise to viral cheats, a type of molecular parasite...

UBC Probability Seminar: Jens Malmquist
April 2, 2025
University of British Columbia
Let X be an isotropic unimodal L\'{e}vy jump process on ℝ d . We develop probabilistic methods which in many cases allow us to determine whether X satisfies the elliptic Harnack inequality (EHI), by looking only at the jump kernel of X , and its...

University of Washington
Locally gentle algebras are a class of infinite-dimensional, non-connected algebras which have nice combinatorial interpretation in terms of quivers with relations. These relations ensure that each arrow is contained in a unique maximal path. In this...

University of Victoria
Given a matching M of a hypercube, does there exist a Hamiltonian cycle that contains every edge of M? This problem was posed by Ruskey and Savage in 1993, and remains open. If M is a perfect matching a Hamiltonian cycle does exist, as shown by Fink...

Dr. Constance van Eeden seminar: Dr. Arnaud Doucet
April 4, 2025
University of British Columbia
The van Eeden seminar is a yearly event in which graduate students vote for their favorite statisticians. The winner is contacted by the organizing committee and invited to give a talk in the department’s seminar. The speaker spends one or two days...
