In this talk, we start with a short summary of several important mathematical results for stochastic travelling waves generated by monostable and bistable reaction-diffusion stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) commonly occuring in...

I will give a brief overview of the various types of generating functions and its applications in determining likely/unlikely behaviors of random structures. Second, I will focus on my recent work on the asymptotics and statistics of random Fishburn...

Hitchin's equations are a system of gauge theoretic equations on a Riemann surface that are of interest in many areas including representation theory, Teichmuller theory, and the geometric Langlands correspondence. The Hitchin moduli space carries a...

Despite the promise of big data, inferences are often limited not by sample size but rather by systematic effects. Only by carefully modeling these effects can we take full advantage of the data -- big data must be complemented with big models and...

This talk describes an extension of Ravenel–Wilson Hopf ring techniques to C 2-equivariant homotopy theory. Our main application and motivation for introducing these methods is a computation of the RO(C 2)-graded homology of C 2-equivariant Eilenberg...

We invite you to join us for this two-hour online workshop led by Chandani Patel of New York University and co-presented by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) and the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI). Faculty...

The blow up of the anticanonical base point on X, a del Pezzo surface of degree 1, gives rise to a rational elliptic surface E with only irreducible fibers. The sections of minimal height of E are in correspondence with the 240 exceptional curves on...

In December 2020, Peter Scholze proposed a challenge to formally verify a theorem he and Dustin Clausen proved about the real numbers in the context of condensed mathematics, saying it might be his "most important theorem to date." I was part of the...
