Past Events

One of the primary responsibilities of my consulting work is to produce an electricity price forecast for Alberta. In addition to being a product in its own right, the forecast drives significant consulting work in asset valuation, strategy and...

Blood is a crucial life-saving product in healthcare systems. Red blood cells are perishable, and managing these stocks in British Columbia and other regions of Canada, with remote / rural hospitals is challenging. Demand must be satisfied without...

Despite extensive research, it is not known whether Oort's conjecture about the existence of supersingular curves is true or false. In the first part of the talk, I will describe supersingular curves and discuss the status of Oort's conjecture (both...

Algebraic graph theory begins by associating a matrix to a graph and asking how the eigenvalues of the former relate to the structure of the latter. In the past fifteen or so years, horizons have broadened to include variants of graphs (such as...

Given a strongly local Dirichlet form on a metric measure space that satisfies Gaussian heat kernel bounds, we show that the martingale dimension of the associated diffusion process coincides with Cheeger's analytic dimension of the underlying metric...

In this talk, I will present a roadmap for deriving minimal necessary conditions for diffusion-driven instability for a 3-component reaction-diffusion system with linear cross-diffusion. For the reaction kinetics, we postulate and formulate a new 3...

We consider the model in which uniform random points are added to the unit interval at a constant intensity and independently vanish each at rate 1. The stationary distribution is a Poisson point process. Our goal is to investigate the time until an...

$L_\infty$ algebras, i.e. Lie algebras up to homotopy coherent homotopy, appear in a variety of contexts, including string theory and deformation theory. Over the last several decades, the outlines of a Lie theory for such objects has appeared in...

Deuring-Heilbronnn phenomenon, quantitatively established by Linnik in 1944, describes how the existence of a Landau-Siegel zero, which is real and near s=1, affects the location of the rest of the zeros of the Dirichlet L-functions to the same...

In function approximation, it is standard to assume the availability of an orthonormal basis for computations, ensuring that numerical errors are negligible. However, this assumption is often unmet in practice. For instance, multivariate...
