In this talk I will present the most recent advances concerning the questions of global regularity of solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes and Euler equations of incompressible fluids. Furthermore, and if time allows, I will also present...

While thermal phases of matter (liquid water vs solid ice) are mathematically well understood, the theoretical understanding of ground state phases (at zero temperature) is incomplete. The discoveries of last year’s physics Nobel laureates provide a...

The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) was founded in 1996, and the University of Saskatchewan joined in 2008. Help us celebrate PIMS and 20 years of promoting research, training, and public awareness for the mathematical...

Adiabatic theory studies dynamical systems featuring separation of motion into slow and fast components. When the system is driven these components start mixing. The basic premise of adiabatic theory is that this mixing is small for slow driving...

A plethora of microstructured surfaces with a wide range of surface chemistries and topographies have been investigated for controlling the wetting (or non-wetting) properties of a fluid/solid interface. Experimental advances in nanofabrication have...

For linear transport equation with diffusive scaling, classical diffusion may fail when the diffusion matrix becomes unbounded, which can be attributed to two reasons. One comes from the heavy tail equilibrium and the other is due to the degenerate...

The discovery of so-called canonical (or crystal) bases of quantum groups by Lusztig and Kashiwara was one of the major milestones of Lie theory during the past three decades. The larger theory of canonical bases that grew out of their work (and...

Factorization algebras are local-to-global objects that play a role in quantum field theory akin to the role of sheaves in geometry: they conveniently organize complicated information. In the talk I will introduce this notion, give some concrete...

Stem cell fate is regulated by cues from the cellular microenvironment, including biophysical and biochemical cues presented by the extracellular matrix. Matrix regulation of cell fate has broad implications from disease to regeneration. In this talk...
