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.

Science for All: Building Equity Together with Lisa M.P. Munoz

Lisa M.P. Munoz, author of Women in Science Now and publicist behind the Emmy-nominated film Picture a Scientist, joins us on February 10th to talk about her new book Women in Science Now: How to Use Science to Overcome the Remaining Obstacles to Equity.

PIMS Education Prize

Do you know someone who has made a significant impact on education in the mathematical sciences? Nominations are now open for the 2025 PIMS Education Prize! This award celebrates outstanding contributions to education within the PIMS community.

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.

The human population presents a unique ecosystem for studying pathogen communities, with anthropogenic activities like COVID-19 lockdowns serving as large-scale natural experiments. In this talk, I begin by exploring how host immune response...

I will discuss recent work with Chantal David, Alexander Dunn, and Joshua Stucky, in which we prove that a positive proportion of Hecke L-functions associated to the cubic residue symbol modulo square-free Eisenstein integers do not vanish at the...

The shuffle theorem is a celebrated result in algebraic combinatorics that identifies three objects: the Frobenius character of certain Sn representations, the action of the elliptic Hall algebra on symmetric functions, and a particular combinatorial...

A $P$-matrix is a matrix all of whose principal minors are positive. In this talk, we demonstrate that the fractional powers of a $P$-matrix are also $P$-matrices. This insight allows us to affirmatively address a longstanding conjecture raised in [D...

The Grassmannian is studied very differently in pure and applied mathematics. From studying these two embeddings of the Grassmannian, a new variety called the squared Grassmannian arises naturally as the image of the Grassmannian in its Plücker...

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication. By Serre's open image theorem, the mod $\ell$ Galois representation $\overline{\rho}_{E, \ell}$ of $E$ is surjective for each prime number $\ell$ that is sufficiently large...
