Superschools focus on topics at the interface of Mathematics and Physics. Graduate students and early career researchers, from both Mathematics and Physics, will be guided, in an intense week-long summer school, by the mentors. String Theory...

I will attempt to give an overview of the Gross-Siebert program, emphasizing its guiding principles and their connection to the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture.

Broad area Quantum Cascade Lasers (BA-QCLs) tend to oscillate on fewer transverse modes than the number which can be supported by the waveguide. In cases lasing is dominantly if not totally on a single high-order transverse mode, it leads to a well...

We establish rates of convergence of solutions to scaling (or similarity) profiles in a coagulation type system modelling submonolayer deposition. We prove that, although all memory of the initial condition is lost in the similarity limit...

Please join us at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics for three days of presentations on a variety of topics in history and philosophy of mathematics from Sunday 29 May to Tuesday 31 May. A special...

Much of the progress in applied mechanics and applied math has resulted from the gradual accumulation of knowledge and understanding through contributions by a community of researchers. However, occasionally a single paper contains fundamentally new...

This conference is a unique and important opportunity for graduate students in mathematics and statistics to meet their peers and discover the wide range of research currently undertaken in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Participants will...

I will discuss the following question: Is any smooth or analytic orientation preserving diffeomorphism of the circle $f$ with an irrational rotation number $\alpha$ almost reducible in the sense that there exists a sequence of smooth or analytic...

In this talk, I will present the chaotic phenomenon of a dynamical system with positive entropy. It is shown that a dynamical system has positive entropy if and only if it has a weak horseshoe. Particularly, I will show that a Lorentz attractor has a...
