Conference participants primarily consist of the faculty members, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows working in probability and statistics, and related areas, at the University of Alberta and at the University of Calgary. Participants...

This is the 12th Northwest Probability Seminar, a one-day mini-conference organized by the University of Washington, the Oregon State University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Oregon, and the Theory Group at Microsoft Research...

The Rallis inner product formula provides a precise relationship between the inner product of a theta lift and the special value of a $L$-function. We hope to give a flavor of the ingredients involved and a rough description of the recipe for cooking...

We will first present the algebras A(K) associated with a number field K which were introduced and analyzed in joint work with X.Li. The computation of their K-theory is a challenging problem. It turns out to be determined by the multiplicative group...

We study the space M_g of isometry classes (or conformal equivalence classes) of smooth manifolds, diffeomorphic to #^g(S^d \times S^d), the connected sum of g copies of S^d \times S^d. For 2d=2, this is essentially the moduli space of Riemann...

The equations of Stokes flow model fluids in scenarios where the influence of advection is essentially negligible. This is a reasonable approximation in many physical situations, and such solvers can often be used as a sub-component when tackling the...

Essential dimension of an algebraic object is the smallest number of algebraically independent parameters required to define the object. This notion was introduced by Buhler and Reichstein. Relations to algebraic geometry and representation theory...

Based on the conception "pseudo-potential" of the incompressible plane flow, an exact solution is given to the Euler's equation with an arbitrarily given potential force. With the KAM theory and the second order Melnikov function, it is proved that...
