PIMS-CORDS SFU Operations Research Seminar: Yohan Song
June 20, 2024
Simon Fraser University
A skew shape is a difference of two Young diagrams where one diagram contains the other. In 2017, Jenna Rajchgot, Matthew Satriano, and Wanchun Shen showed that skew shapes can be used to study the Gerstenhaber problem, a matrix algebra problem in...

UAlberta Special Colloquium: Mathieu Florence
June 19, 2024
University of Alberta
The Bloch-Kato-Milnor conjecture relates Galois cohomology to Milnor K-theory of fields. A celebrated proof of this result was furnished by Voevodsky. Motivic cohomology and Rost's norm varieties are key ingredients. They were tailored specifically...

Comparative Prime Number Theory Symposium
June 17–21, 2024
University of British Columbia
The “Comparative Prime Number Theory” symposium is one of the highlight events organized by the PIMS-funded Collaborative Research Group (CRG) “ L-functions in Analytic Number Theory”. It is a one-week event taking place on the UBC campus in...

NCTS-PIMS workshop in PDE
June 11–15, 2024
National Taiwan University
This is a joint workshop between NCTS and PIMS, aimed at promoting research collaboration and fostering exchanges between Taiwan and Canada. We hope to continue this positive trend through this workshop and further enhance our collaboration. The...

UBC Math Department Colloquium: Neda Abasi
June 10, 2024
University of British Columbia
We study the family of one dimensional piecewise smooth dynamical systems in which two classic theorems are still permanent. One of them is Birkhoff Transitivity Theorem and the other one is Banks, Brooks, Cairns, Davis and Stacey Theorem. Baker like...

June 3, 2024
University of Washington
We consider the problem of minimizing a convex function under convex constraints, where some or all of the decision variables are constrained to be integer, with access to first-order oracles for the objective function and separation oracles for the...

2024 CMS Summer Meeting Mini-Courses: Applied Topology: Persistent Homology
May 31, 2024
University of Saskatchewan
Persistent Homology is an application of algebraic topology (filtered chain complexes) to statistics. Roughly speaking, one naturally associates filtered chain complexes to data in a variety of ways. Persistent homology is the structure of how the...
