Reproductive value is the relative expected number of off-springs produced by an individual in its remaining lifetime. It is also an invariant function for population processes with birth and death rates independent of the time except in cases when...

Topological K-theory is an assignment of algebraic data to a topological space. It is a homotopy invariant and satisfies the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms for a generalized cohomology theory. In this talk I give a rapid introduction to vector bundles...

I will give an overview on how techniques from neural (conditional) density estimation and surrogate modeling can be used to solve challenging problems in seismic imaging and monitoring of geological carbon storage. I will start by outlining how...

Transient dynamics are referred to as those dynamics that happen on ecologically relevant timescales, in which classical modelling techniques often fail to capture. Due to the ever-changing environments and ecosystems, increased interest has been...

In his famous '86 paper, Andrews made several conjectures on the function σ(q) of Ramanujan, including that it has coefficients (which count certain partition-theoretic objects) whose sup grows in absolute value, and that it has infinitely many...

All talks will take place on the Burnaby Mountain campus of Simon Fraser University. Details to follow.

At the heart of many problems in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry is the difference between symbolic and regular powers of a homogeneous ideal. One way to find failures of containments between these powers is to use an asymptotic approach...

Incommensurate structures arise from stacking single layers of low-dimensional materials on top of one another with misalignment such as an in-plane twist in orientation. While these structures are of significant physical interest, they pose many...

The exciting and rapidly-growing field of topological materials has brought with it unexpected new connections between physics and pure mathematics. As the name suggests, topology has played a significant role in understanding and classifying these...
