Real stable polynomials define real hypersurfaces with special topological structure. These polynomials bound the feasible regions of semidefinite programs and appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and...

Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace in his 5 volume Traité de mécanique céleste unified mathematical physics by placing calculus front and center. Among Laplace's chief innovations, was an introduction of a differential equation that now bears his name...

We apply a general framework to analyze the influence of system load on service times in queueing systems to EMS systems. The framework unifies previous results and ties them to possible future studies to help empirical and analytical researchers to...

In this talk I will explain basic ideas concerning fractional Laplacians (in particular, their relation with Lévy flights in Probability) and I will present the essential tools to treat nonlinear equations involving fractional Laplacians and other...

How does mathematical knowledge grow? According to an influential formulation due to philosopher Ernest Nagel, when a scientific theory "reduces" another, the reduced theory is deductively subsumed under the reducing theory: thus for example...

The summer school is aimed at graduate students and postdocs, although all are welcome. It is being sponsored by the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Collaborative Research Group (CRG) in Applied, Algebraic, and Geometric Topology...

Maps from a manifold M to a manifold N appear in mathematical physics, image processing, computer vision, medical imaging, and many other areas. This talk introduces a numerical framework for variational problems and partial differential equations...

For elliptic curves, the Mordell-Weil Theorem allows to relate bisections (pre-images of the multiplication by 2) in the group of points of a curve defined over F_q and the quadratic reciprocity of some elements in the field F_q, which can be used to...

Location: University of Calgary, Mathematical Sciences Building Registration: There is no registration fee, but space is limited and will be granted on a competitive basis with priority given to graduate students. Partial funding will also be awarded...
