PIMS CRG Seminar Series: L-Functions in Analytic Number Theory: Akshaa Vatwani
September 15, 2022
Hybrid
We consider L-functions L 1, . . . , L k from the Selberg class having polynomial Euler product and satisfying Selberg’s orthonormality condition. We show that on every vertical line s = σ+it in the complex plane with σ ∈ (1/2, 1), these L-functions...

Hybrid
In this talk, I will present some mathematical models to investigate the impact of predation fear-induced indirect effects in different predator-prey systems and address relevant questions related to the stability and dynamical properties of the...

UVic Mathematics of Ethical Decision Making Series: Gautam Kamath
August 25, 2022
University of Victoria
Naively implemented, statistical procedures are prone to leaking information about their training data, which can be problematic if the data is sensitive. Differential privacy, a rigorous notion of data privacy, offers a principled framework to...

PIMS-USask Geometry, Algebra and Physics Seminar: Monica Jinwoo Kang
August 18, 2022
Hybrid
It has long been the case that representation theory played an important role in understanding the spectrum of states in physics. I will describe how it can be used to describe some universal aspect of d-dimensional unitary conformal field theories...

UBC Probability Seminar: Leo Gayral
July 27, 2022
Hybrid
A Subshift of Finite Type (SFT) is a translational-invariant set of colourings of a lattice by a finite alphabet, induced by a finite set of local forbidden patterns. Ergodic theory allows for a bridge between SFTs and a more probabilistic approach...

PIMS CRG Workshop on Moments of L-functions
July 25–29, 2022
University of Northern British Columbia
Establishing asymptotic formulas for moments of L-functions has been a main goal of analytic number theory for over a century. This topic is strongly connected to the generalized Lindelöf Hypothesis and various non-vanishing conjectures, and it has...
