Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting
May 27–28, 2023
University of Regina
The Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (WCLAM) provides an opportunity for all mathematicians in western Canada working in linear algebra and related fields to meet present accounts of their recent research, and to have informal discussions. While...

PIMS-UWashington Mathematics Colloquium: Lars Kühne
May 26, 2023
University of Washington
Diophantine geometry is a modern-day incarnation of mathematicians' perennial interest in solving algebraic equations in integers. Its fundamental idea is to study the geometric objects defined by algebraic equations in order to understand their...

University of British Columbia, Okanagan
The Zariski closure of the central path (which interior point algorithms track in convex optimization problems such as linear and semidefinite programs) is an algebraic curve, called the central curve. Its degree has been studied in relation to the...

Hecke Algebras as a Unifying Theme
May 23–25, 2023
University of British Columbia
Aim of the workshop Since their origins within the theory of modular forms nearly a century ago, Hecke algebras have come to play a central role in many areas of algebra and geometry. There are many recent advances in understanding and applying Hecke...

UWashington Distinguished Seminar in Optimization and Data: Philippe Rigollet
May 22, 2023
University of Washington
Otto calculus is a fundamental toolbox in mathematical optimal transport, imparting the Wasserstein space of probability measures with a Riemmanian structure. In particular, one can compute the Riemannian gradient of a functional over this space and...

PIMS-UWashington Mathematics Colloquium: Mike Hill
May 19, 2023
University of Washington
A group is just a set together with a multiplication with certain properties, and these are ubiquitous in modern mathematics. In homotopy theory, we often see less-rigid objects, with many of the properties like associativity or commutativity only...

Every animal cell is filled with a cytoskeleton, a dynamic gel made of inextensible filaments / bio-polymers, such as microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, all suspended in a viscous fluid. Similar suspensions of elastic...
