UBC DG-MP-PDE Seminar: Zhichao Wang
September 28, 2021
University of British Columbia
In this joint work with X. Zhou, we exhibit the first examples of non-generic metrics on the three sphere in which the varifold associated with a two-parameter min-max construction must be a multiplicity two minimal surface. This is proved by a new...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS - UVic Dynamics and Probability Seminar: Sebastian Ferrando
September 28, 2021
University of Victoria
Closely motivated by financial considerations, we develop an integration theory which is not classical i.e. it is not necessarily associated with a measure. The base space, denoted by $\mathcal{S}$ and called a trajectory space, substitutes the set $...

Abstract: Skeletal muscle structure and the changes that occur in diseased muscle tissue cross several physical length scales. Diseased muscle tissue often has alterations on the microscopic level to individual contractile components inside the...

PIMS Network Wide Colloquium: Assaf Naor
September 23, 2021
Online
In the Lipschitz extension problem we are given a pair of metric spaces X,Y and ask for the smallest K such that for any subset A of X every L-Lipschitz mapping from A to Y can be extended to a KL-Lipschitz mapping from X to Y. Most of this talk will...

UVic Mathematics and Statistics Seminar: Peijjun Sang
September 22, 2021
Online
The intrinsic infinite-dimensional nature of functional data creates a bottleneck in the application of traditional classifiers to functional settings. These classifiers are generally either unable to generalize to infinite dimensions or have poor...

The Vancouver DataJam
September 18–26, 2021
Online
Are you looking for professional development and portfolio-building opportunities in the data science sector? Join data science enthusiasts for the Vancouver DataJam: a virtual event with a focus on supporting members of gender and racial minorities...

The PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow Seminar: Hui Huang
September 15, 2021
Online
Large systems of interacting particles (or agents) are widely used to investigate self-organization and collective behavior. They frequently appear in modeling phenomena such as biological swarms, crowd dynamics, self-assembly of nanoparticles and...
Scientific, Summer School
Summer School on Inclusive Paths Toward Number Theory
August 23–27, 2021
Online
This summer school will introduce students to Number Theory topics being researched throughout Alberta: algebraic number theory, diophantine geometry, and analytic number theory. The goal of this event is to promote positive cooperation and...
Scientific, Summer School
Second PIMS Summer School on Algebraic Geometry in High-Energy Physics.
August 23–26, 2021
Online
The second in a series, this four-day virtual summer school aims to provide early-career researchers with new perspectives on algebraic geometry in high-energy physics. The summer school features four mini-courses by emerging and established...

Prairie Discrete Mathematics Workshop 2021
August 13–14, 2021
University of Lethbridge
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 early October 2003, through the most...
