PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award helps provides funding for researchers attending a BIRS 5-day (or longer) program to maximize the impact of their travel by visiting a PIMS site for collaboration.

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.

Upcoming Events

Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...

q-analogues of quantities in mathematics involve perturbations of classical quantities using the parameter q, and revert to the original quantities when q goes 1. A notable example is the q-analogues of binomial coefficients, denoted by {n \choose k}...

Lots of problems in combinatorics and analysis are connected to upper bounds for incidences: given a set of points and tubes, how much can they intersect? This talk is about lower bounds for incidences, a topic that has received much less attention...

For a finite connected graph, the following objects have the same cardinality: the set of spanning trees, the Jacobian group, the set of equivalence classes of orientations up to cycle-cocycle reversal, the set of break divisors, the set of reduced...

Let ord p ( a ) be the order of a in ( Z / p Z ) ∗ . In 1927, Artin conjectured that the set of primes p for which an integer a ≠ − 1 , ◻ is a primitive root (i.e. ord p ( a ) = p − 1 ) has a positive asymptotic density among all primes. In 1967...

There has been extensive study of diagonalization of matrices. Diagonalization can be viewed as using a similarity transform to concentrate the magnitude of all entries within as small a subset of entries as possible. We motivate and present results...
