The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.
We consider a variant of a problem first introduced by Hughes and Rudnick (2003) and generalized by Bernard (2015) concerning conditional bounds for small first zeros in a family of L-functions. Here we seek to estimate the size of the smallest...
Given a category C with a class of "weak equivalences" W, Dwyer and Kan constructed a simplicial localization of C that turns the morphisms in W into equivalences. We will go over this construction, its properties, and some tools to compute the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
PIMS is thrilled to announce the Dr. Christos Thrampoulidis, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UBC, has been awarded the 2024 PIMS/UBC Mathematical...
Applications are invited for the position of Co-Director Programs of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) for a term of up to five years, beginning on (preferably) September 1...
