Given a Jordan curve in the plane, we can associate a circle homeomorphism (conformal welding) via the conformal welding correspondence. These homeomorphisms arise naturally in Teichmuller theory, Mathematical physics and dynamics. In this talk, we...

Consider a point process in Euclidean space obtained by perturbing the integer lattice with IID Gaussians. Our goal is to match the perturbed points with the points of the lattice in an invariant way and such that the typical matching distance is as...

Sickle cell pain presents in acute episodes in pediatric patients, as opposed to the chronic pain observed in adults. The episodic nature of pain events in pediatric patients necessitates a distinct approach from what has been used to mathematically...

The game of Cops and Robber played on graphs is a turn-based game between a set of $k \geqslant 1$ cops and a single robber. Cops and robber alike sit on the vertices of the graph with the cops first selecting their starting vertices. At the...

I will report on recent progress in the study of a quasilinear equation involving the n-Laplacian and an exponential nonlinearity in R^n . In particular quantization issues for blow-up masses in the non-compact situation will be discussed and their...

Atiyah and Rees proved that the Chern classes and a mod 2 invariant, named the alpha invariant, classifies all rank 2 topological vector bundles on P3. They also showed that a construction by Horrocks provides algebraic representatives for all...

About the Workshop In February 2024, the CNRS hosted a France–Western Canada workshop on ocean and polar science at PIMS (UBC), bringing together researchers from across disciplines. The success of that meeting has since catalyzed efforts to build a...

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...

Tableaux are fundamental objects in representation theory and combinatorics, and variations of the Schensted algorithm have endowed them with rich algebraic structures. In this talk I will discuss a naive monoid structure on the set of semistandard...

In theoretical population biology, the study of steady-states, persistence and other long-term dynamics are often made the focal point. Undoubtedly this focus has led to many key biological insights, but certain questions pertaining to dynamics that...
