Depth and width parameters of graphs, e.g., tree-width, path-width and tree-depth, play a crucial role in algorithmic and structural graph theory. These notions are of fundamental importance in the theory of graph minors, fixed parameter complexity...

In 1770 Euler observed that 3 3 + 4 3 + 5 3 = 6 3 and asked if there was another perfect power that equals the sum of consecutive cubes. This captivated the attention of many important mathematicians, such as Cunningham, Catalan, Genocchi and Lucas...

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...

Even though Euler products of L-functions are generally valid only to the right of the critical strip, there is a strong sense in which they should persist even inside the critical strip. Indeed, the behaviour of Euler products inside the critical...

The Deligne-Mumford compactification, M 0 , n ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ , of the moduli space of n distinct ordered points on ℙ 1 , has many well understood geometric and topological properties. For example, it is a smooth projective variety over its...

Individual and collective cell polarity has fascinated mathematical modelers for a long time. Recently, a more subtle type of symmetry breaking started to attract attention of experimentalists and theorists alike - emergence of chirality in single...

The generalized degree polynomial (GDP) of a tree is an invariant introduced by Crew that enumerates subsets of vertices by size and number of internal and boundary edges. Aliste-Prieto et al. proved that the chromatic symmetric function of a tree...

Join us for an engaging presentation on "Unraveling the Mathematics of Single-Cell Dynamics" with Dr. Anotida Madzvamuse. This event is part of the UBC Applied Science Black Excellence in STEM (BEST) Speaker Series, in collaboration with the...
