In this talk I will give an overview of the notion of viscosity solutions for the crystalline mean curvature flow in an arbitrary dimension, introduced recently in joint work with Yoshikazu Giga from the University of Tokyo. This problem serves as a...

Tree structures emerge in various sciences. It is challenging to compare and analyze tree structures as both the size and the number of trees are increasing and there are few tools to describe tree structures in a quantitive, accurate, comprehensive...

It is conjectured that two cubic fourfolds are birational if their associated K3 categories are equivalent. We prove this conjecture for very general cubic fourfolds containing a Veronese surface, where the birational maps are induced from a Cremona...

Prime numbers are central objects of study in number theory. In the 1730s, Euler gave a novel proof of the infinitude of primes by showing that P p 1=p diverges, where the sum runs over all prime numbers. Deriving inspiration from Euler’s idea...

University of Lethbridge
The first half of this talk will be a gentle introduction to the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem (EKR) Theorem. This is a theorem that determines the size and structure of the largest collection of intersecting sets. It has become a cornerstone of extremal set...

One of the most important techniques provided by modern logic is the use of models to show the consistency of theories. The technique burst onto the scene in the late 19th century, and had its most important early instance in demonstrating the...

Dynamical systems concepts have mostly been developed to understand the behaviour of autonomous, i.e. input-free, nonlinear systems. Even in this case, it is well recognized that such systems can display a wide range of dynamical behaviours...
