Abstract: In Logistic regression under the case–control framework, the logarithmic ratio of the covariate densities between the case and control groups is a linear function of the regression parameters. Based on this fact, this talk introduces an...

Ocean waves forced by wind grow and eventually break, playing an important role in the coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. Wave breaking modulates momentum and energy fluxes, controlling upper ocean currents affecting gas transfer and...

Abstract: What is mathematical research? How does a mathematician find problems to work on? How does one build mathematical collaborations? In this talk, I will share my journey to research mathematics, what it entails, how I have developed new...

2026 PIMS Directorate Open House Join us for the PIMS Directorate Open House to learn more about how PIMS supports mathematical sciences research, collaboration, training, and education across our network. Following a short presentation, there will...

Transfer systems are combinatorial objects that encode information about equivariant operations. More precisely, a transfer system encodes the transfers (or wrong-way maps) carried by algebras over certain equivariant operads. Thus, transfer systems...

The Zakharov system is a coupled system of the Schrodinger equation and the acoustic wave equation to describe the Langmuir turbulence in plasma. The goal in this talk is to classify the solutions depending on the initial data, in particular to...

Abstract: Adjoint systems are widely used to inform control, optimization, and design in systems described by ODEs or DAEs. At the level of PDEs, advection equations and mean field games also have the structure of adjoint systems, and all adjoint...

The goal of this meeting is to connect mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists interested in common topics. We hope to share open questions with the potential for concrete interdisciplinary collaborations. It will centre around five major...

PIMS invites faculty members from across the PIMS network to apply to participate in an intensive three-day, in-person workshop on Lean with LLM integration, led by Professor Eric Klavins (University of Washington) whose recent UW course on Automated...
