Quillen-Barr-Beck (co)homology is a theory which studies the objects of a category where we can make sense of such notions as “modules” and “derivations”. More precisely, in his thesis, Beck defined a general notion of modules and derivations in a...

In this talk, we introduce some recent regularity results of free boundary in optimal transportation. Particularly for higher order regularity, when densities are Hölder continuous and domains are C^2, uniformly convex, we obtain the free boundary is...

Categorical Message Passing Language (CaMPL) is a functional style concurrent programming language with a categorical semantics. In this talk, we explore the categorical semantics, programming syntax, and proof theory representations for CaMPL. This...

A classical Electrical Engineering problem is to determine whether two networks of resistors are equivalent. The standard solution is to use a process of eliminating internal nodes (the star/mesh transformation) which may be seen as a rewriting...

PIMS-SFU-CNRS Guest Lecture: Raphaël Chétrite
June 20, 2023
Simon Fraser University
Martingales are perhaps best known as a gambling strategy of repeatedly doubling the stakes of a bet, in the hope that eventually a single win will cover previous losses and return a profit. In physics, though little known, martingales are also...
