SFU Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Jake Levinson
A basic question about an algebraic variety X is how similar it is to projective space. One measure of similarity is the minimum degree of a rational map from X to projective space, the "degree of irrationality". This number, not to mention the...

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is the standard optimization method for training machine learning (ML) models. SGD requires a step-size that depends on unknown problem-dependent quantities, and the choice of this step-size heavily influences the...

The rational points of an abelian variety form a finitely generated group and computing the rank of this group is a hard and central problem in arithmetic geometry. One method, which follows the original proof of Mordell and Weil of the finiteness of...

Skeletal muscle is the motor that drives human and animal movement; however, our understanding of how muscle performs this function is limited because of challenges in directly measuring muscle deformation and force output in living beings. In this...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces arise throughout the natural and applied sciences. The solution of such equations poses a big challenge for rather general surfaces, where no parametrization is possible. In this talk, we will give an...

Projection operators are fundamental algorithmic operators in Analysis and Optimization. It is well known that these operators are firmly nonexpansive; however, their composition is generally only averaged and no longer firmly nonexpansive. We will...

A well-known result on compact Riemann surfaces says that the automorphism group of any such surface is a finite group of bounded size (based on the genus of the surface). Additionally, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula gives us an expectation for when a...

A set $\{a_{1}, a_{2},\ldots, a_{m}\}$ of distinct positive integers is a Diophantine $m$-tuple if the product of any two distinct elements in the set is one less than a square. There is a long history and extensive literature on the study of...

We present a kinetic version of the Watanabe-Strogatz (WS) transform for vector models in this paper. From the generalized WS-transform, we can reduce the kinetic vector model into an ODE system. We also obtain the cross-ratio type constant of motion...

OR + DM Seminar: Imre Bárány
It is well known that a line can intersect at most 2n-1 cells of the n x n chessboard. What happens in higher dimensions: how many cells of the d-dimensional [0,n]^d box can a hyperplane intersect? We also prove the integer analogue of the following...
