Past Events

For more information about this event, please see the conference website. This conference will bring together experts in various aspects of four-dimensional topology. Themes include diffeomorphism groups of four-manifolds, construction and detection...

Human behavior and social factors play important roles in the spread of infectious diseases, understanding the influence of them on the spread of diseases can be key to improving control efforts. In this talk I will introduce some recent studies on...

The workshop builds on the success of the previous Prairie Discrete Math Workshops, from the first one organized by Shaun Fallat and Brian Alspach and held at the University of Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan, in 2003. The intention is to gather...

In this talk, I will discuss: (1) the new BGG-type resolutions of finite dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras that lead to BGG-relations expressing finite-dimensional transfer matrices via infinite-dimensional ones, (2) the...

The 2022 PIMS-CRM summer school will be taking place at UBC from May 30 to June 24, after a 2 year delay from 2020. There will be two main courses, given by Frank den Hollander and Ivan Corwin, and mini-courses by Paul Bourgade, Jean-François Le Gall...

The tenth annual Canadian Statistics Student Conference (CSSC) will take place on Saturday, May 28th, 2022, the day before the Statistical Society of Canada 2022 Annual Meeting opens. Given the current ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its recent...

Unrolled quantum groups are a family of quantum algebras closely related to the non-restricted specialization of Drinfeld-Jimbo algebras at roots of unity. These quantum groups have played a pivotal role in the study of the Kazhdan-Lusztig...

The semi-random graph process can be thought of as a one player game. Starting with an empty graph on n vertices, in each round a random vertex u is presented to the player, who chooses a vertex v and adds the edge uv to the graph (hence 'semi-random...

The SIAM Pacific Northwest Section (PNWS) holds a meeting every two years; this upcoming meeting is the third such meeting, and one of the main events organized by the SIAM PNWS. WSU Vancouver will host the third biennial meeting of the SIAM Pacific...

Despite being the most efficient set of computational techniques available to the theoretical physicist, quantum field theory (QFT) does not describe all the observed features of the quantum interactions of our universe. At the same time, its...
