The inhomogeneous multispecies PushTASEP is an interacting particle system with multiple species of particles on a finite ring where the hopping rates are site-dependent. (The homogeneous variant on Z is also known as the Hammersley–Aldous–Diaconis...

Reversible Knitting is a specialized branch of knitting focussed on creating fabric that looks beautiful on both sides, lies flat and doesn’t curl, and has a wonderful hand feel and texture. It is technically intriguing, creatively satisfying, and...

Tadao Oda conjectured that every smooth polytope, in any dimension, has the Integer Decomposition Property. Beck et al. previously showed that smooth polytopes which are both 3-dimensional and centrally symmetric have this property. We show this...

In this talk, I will introduce group-invariant quantum latin squares and their connection to quantum isomorphisms. There will be some representation theory and finally, we will see a method of constructing Cayley graphs that are quantum isomorphic...

After a brief introduction on the theory of p-adic groups complex representations, I will explain why tempered and generic Langlands parameters are open. I will further derive a number of consequences, in particular for the enhanced genericity...

Pattison Food Group Ltd., encompassing Save-On-Food, Nester’s Market, and over a dozen other grocery brands, stands as a leading provider of food and health products in Western Canada. In this presentation, Benny Wai, Data & Analytics Manager at PFG...

The event will be a half-day event at SFU Harbour Center, featuring three speakers: Professor Giang Tran, U. Waterloo; Associate Professor Mirands Holmes-Cerfon, UBC; and Professor Jingwei Hu, U. Washington. There will also be a poster session...

In characteristic zero, the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions QSym is isomorphic to the shuffle algebra of compositions Sh, and isomorphisms between them can be specified via shuffle bases of QSym. We give characterizations of shuffle bases...

Response optimization is a process of identifying the input variable settings that optimize the response. Multistratum design arises naturally in industrial experiments due to the inconvenient and impractical completely randomization. Accounting for...
