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...

Machine learning is a powerful computer science technique that can derive knowledge from big data and make predictions/decisions. Since nanometer VLSI design and manufacturing have extremely high complexity and gigantic data, there is great...

Over $Q$ there do not exist any non-zero abelian varieties with good reduction everywhere. However, over all but six real quadratic fields they actually do exist. In this talk we determine, for certain small real quadratic fields $F$, the set of...

We will introduce the Dynamical Mordell-Lang problem by Ghioca and Tucker. After that, we explain the “orbit intersection problem” for linear spaces and semi-abelian varieties. This is joint work with Ghioca. A video of this event is available on...

Diophantine equations are one of the oldest, frequently celebrated and most abstract objects in mathematics. They crop up in areas ranging from recreational mathematics and puzzles, to cryptography, error correcting codes, and even in studying the...

The University of Calgary 2019 Sonia Kovalevsky Day will focus on answering the question where is math in the world, interdisciplinary mathematics, and communicating math. The students will start their day by collaboratively brainstorming about where...

The four-week industry fellowships, which are being run in partnership with Cybera, bring together six companies wanting to leverage data science, and 22 newly trained data scientists in Edmonton and Calgary. The companies have presented a challenge...

In this talk, I will outline the basic ideas in Langlands’ Beyond Endoscopy proposal, and the role of summation formulas and the nontempered automorphic spectrum. I will discuss the various approaches of Frenkel-Langlands-Ngô, Altug, and Ngô to the...

When you send your credit card number over the Internet, cryptography helps to ensure that no one can steal the number in transit. Julius Caesar and Mary Queen of Scots used cryptography to send secret messages, in the latter case with ill-fated...
